Piper's POV

"Pipes, wake up." someone nudged me. "Piper.."

"Okay okay!" I replied.

"Wake up and clean up." With that, Annabeth left my room.

I groaned. After a minute or so, I got up and realised that i'm still in my concert clothes. I sighed and changed into some random shirt and sweatpants, brushed my teeth and went to Thalia's room just to find her sprawled across the floor.

"THALIA! WAKE UP!" i shook her awake.

"WHAT?" she asked, obviously annoyed.

"Get up, you look like a mess!"

Thalia groggily got up and went to the bathroom. I went downstairs, following the amazing smell from the kitchen.

"hey pipes, waffles or do you want something else?" annabeth asked.

"waffles will do"

I went to the fridge and took out a carton of orange juice. I took three glasses from the cabinet and poured the juice to each glass and took out three plates.

"Thank you," annabeth said as she settle down three waffles to each plate.

she took out the maple syrup and drizzle a fairly amount of syrup.

"hey! what's for breakfa- ooh! waffles!" Thalia said as she emerged from the stairs.

Thalia quickly rushed to the table and gobble up all her waffles just as we're about to eat ours. We laughed at the way thalia ate and finished out breakfast.

-

After breakfast, we went to our respective bedrooms to shower and get ready for the day.

I put on a white tank top, denim shorts and an oversized peach-coloured knitted cardigan with white converse. I put on a bit of make up and went out to the living room when Bianca called.

"Piper! Um, could you come to the studio? We've got serious matters to talk about"

"Bi, it's spring break and we're done with the tour! and we have to pack, for tonight. We're flying to San Frans for spring break."

"Yes, I know, but please come here and hurry. This is important."

"Okay, fine, i'll be there in 10. Bye di Angelo" and i hung up.

"Thalia! Annabeth! Bianca asked us to be there"

"1 minute!" Thalia yelled as Annabeth came to the room.

Annabeth was wearing leggings, a simple t-shirt and black vans, with her hair tied in a messy bun. She didn't wear any makeup but she looked stunning already.

"THALIA" she yelled
"Alright! alright!" thalia said as she appeared from her room.

Thalia had a different sense of style, she has a applied thick eyeliner and wore black jeans, black 'I heart Green Day' shirt, black leather jacket, black sneakers and several metal necklaces. Let's just say she likes black too much and no, she isn't an emo, punk or goth.

After we gathered, we rushed to the car, I went into the driver's seat, Annabeth in the shotgun seat and Thalia at the back seat.

A few minutes later, we reached the studio, which is Skye studio, owned by Thalia's father but her father doesn't run that studio, the studio itself was ran by Daedalus, an employee of her father. We entered the building, went to our studio floor and barged in the meeting room. It seemed like Bianca was anxious about something.

"B? Whats wrong?" Annabeth asked.

"Thanks the gods you're all here. Sit down." She ordered us.

"What is it?" Thalia questioned.

Bianca bit her lip. "Since you guys are done with your tour.."

Thalia was getting impatient, "Get on with it."

"Thalia," I said to her in a warning tone.

Thalia huffed and Bianca proceed with her sentence "you can have your spring break-"

All of us whooped.

"but-," Bianca continued as we groaned. "-you must make new songs since Hazel is taking several months off"

"Consider it done" Annabeth interfered.

We looked at her, hoping that's the only news.

"and, Recently, i've contacted your parents-"

"YOU DID WHAT?" Thalia shrieked.

"-and they decided that all of you should continue your education so you wouldn't be left behind"

After those words left her mouth, there was only silence.

"wait, what?" i asked, still not getting the point.

Bianca rolled her eyes and said "Girls, you're going to High School!"

1.

"WHAT?" The three of us exclaimed.

"You heard me. Come on, high school is fun! I've been through that. I don't want you to miss your chance to be in high school" Bianca said.

"but- but- we've got a private teacher. we're homeschooled. We have Hylla!" Annabeth stuttered.

Wow. okay, first of all, Annabeth NEVER stutter.

"I forgot to tell you, Hylla resigned" Bianca said.

"you forgot to tell us everything" Thalia mumbled beside me.

"Bianca! Why didn't you tell us!" I sighed, exasperated.

"It's no big deal! Also, I have a brother that goes to high school in New York, same age as you girls"

Bianca told us that we will be wearing disguises so no one would notice us and Silena will help us to do so tomorrow. We will be flying to New York tomorrow evening and stay at an apartment that Bianca booked since we don't want to draw attention by having a mansion (we own a mansion in New York since we used to live there for a couple of years). We will stay in New York until Summer holidays and we'll fly back to LA where we will launch our new songs and back to New York to finish Sophomore year, and get through the junior and senior year.

"Oh! One more thing, always keep a low profile and don't draw attention to yourself."

We nodded obediently.

"so." She clasped her hands together."you know everything and what you need to know, now off you go"

We marched out the door and drove away from the studio. I went to the only place I could clear my mind.

The mall.

Thalia's POV

I can't believe what Bianca just told us. We, the olympus, are going to school. like who cares about school these days? After we left the studio, we went to the mall. I know i hate shopping, Annabeth and I were there to get some ice cream. But then, piper insisted that we have to get clothes for our school in New York. Like I care how I dress up. Since piper kept on complaining, we gave up and let her take us shopping.

"Thals, Pipes. You know, I've been thinking, maybe it's not so bad to go to a regular high school" Annabeth said.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked her.

Piper was listening but she was too busy distracted from all the clothes as she is rummaging through the piles of clothes in the store.

"Look, we've got a chance to live life like ordinary people. No paparazzi following us around, no gossips and rumours spreading around."

"Annie, remember the last time we got bullied?"

"Thals, We're stronger now, we could just shook them off"

"Whatever you say"

Before Annabeth could reply, Piper interrupted them.

"Annabeth! Try these on! Thalia, you're going to like these ones!" Piper said as she handed us some clothes.

-

After an hour of getting nothing. Piper gave up and let us pick out anything.

I picked out a few types of black jackets, some jeans, black jeggings, some different coloured shirts and a few pair of sneakers, and I also grabbed a few bottles of eyeliner.

Annabeth picked out different coloured cardigans, hoodies, sweatshirts, jeans, shorts, shirts, sneakers and boots.

Piper took some bracelets, bangles, necklace, bandanas, hair ties, bow ties, belts, scarf, beanies, boots, heels, stilettos, wedges, pumps, sport shoes, sneakers, flats, shirts, tank tops, cardigans, jumper, vests, jackets, hoodies, short shorts, shorts, knee-length jeans, pants, jeans, skinny jeans, dry-fit pants, pencil skirts, skater skirts, bathing suits, one-piece swim suit, dresses, coats, some other article of clothing i don't know the name, and so on.

To be honest, Piper isn't much of a shopper, but she just loves to make a good first impression and she always comes prepared. She doesn't draw attention to herself but people would always notice her since she's perfect.

Piper bought Annabeth several vintage dresses and got me a couple pairs of boots and a set of leather jackets.

-

We went to grab milkshakes after shopping. Sadly, not ice cream but they're also good i guess. Well, Annabeth and I got some milkshakes while piper got freshly squeezed juice and then we went back to our hotel and ordered dinner in the hotel

xXx

Annabeth and Piper began packing that night, while I slept. i don't care.
