Annabeth's POV

I rolled my eyes as I glanced back at my brother. I adjusted my hoodie and and frowned a bit "Austin?"

He looks at me "Shh Beth. I can't fix this darn model for my Engineering class."

I rolled my eyes "Alrighty. Anyways, you take care, I'm going back home."

He sighs "I will visit you this time. I swear."

I nodded my head uncertainly. Should I tell him about home life now that he's gone? No. I shouldn't, it could still be pretty dangerous and he be tracked down, can't risk that. I sighed internally and walked towards my car. I turned up the radio and turn on my car. Sweet lord, why am I driving back to California? Should I stay back in New York? Might as well right? I was snapped out of my trance by my phone ringing. I lifted the call "Hello?"

I heard a very unpleasant voice, Mr. K, "Chase. You are being transferred to New York, so is your family."

I can here is smirk. God I hate this dude so much, why do I work for him? Oh, maybe because he will hurt my brother and mom. God I miss Mom so much. "Alrighty, Boss. Is that all?"

He chuckles. Im screwed. You see Mr.K chuckling means you are in deep shit. "Of course not, Chase! You will be going to Goode High with a few other Spies."

I rolled my eyes "Elaborate?"

"McLean, Valdez and Grace will be with you. You four better not mess up. We better get the deal."

I groaned "What deal is it now?"

He chuckles "Don't worry about it Chase. Just go to highschool and protect Jackson. I will give you more details later. Good bye Chase, or well should I say McCarthy?"

I rolled my eyes. Great. He even gave me a freakin' new last name. I will kill him one day. I hung up and decided to dial up the other three. Great. Another Journey. You see. I'm Annabeth Elizabeth Chase. The top student in Half Blood Academy and am also Number one in the Spy Program.

Let me tell you about how the academy works. The students who attend here have lost their parents and attend the academy to get an education. Every year 15 to 30 people, from k-12 in the academy, get selected based on their IQ scores. They get tested, if they fail the test I really don't know what happens to them. I remember this one boy, who was a year older than me, he was 8. We were great friends, his name was Lucas I think? I don't remember but the day we all found out our results, the ones who failed disappeared the next day. The ones who pass the test get enrolled in the academy's spy program and get trained to become trained fighters. But, ever since I was 10 I felt like there was something more behind the so called Spy program, but I don't know yet. I'm still figuring it out. I shook my head as McLean lifts her phone "Yo Annie!"

I cringed at that nickname "Piper. What did I say?"

I hear Grace yelling at her "Beth? Annie! I haven't heard from you in ages!"

I rolled my eyes as I turned left "Jason. We spoke literally this morning. Not ages ago."

I then hear Valdez cracking up "Annie, Jason misses you be happy that he cares about you."

I rolled my eyes "Okay Leonard. I get it. You can stop being jealous of me." I joked.

He gasps "Oh is the almighty Annie trying to be funny for once?"

Grace and McLean crack up, I roll my eyes as I park my car in front of their apartment "Valdez. Can you shut it for once? I didn't call to chit chat. Never mind. I will just talk to you guys in person."

I smirked when the trio gasped, McLean squeals, Grace stutters, Valdez goes silent. I laughed as I got out of the car and hung up on them. I grab my backpack and three gifts. I get out of my BMW and run up the the stairs to the third floor. I walked towards Apartment number 333 and shove the three small gifts in my backpack. I took a deep breath ring the bell.
