Before you start, the information about colleges in here does not correlate to the REAL America. I made all of them up (except for New Rome's, that belongs to Uncle Rick). OK, now continue...

Lauren's POV
Startled, I woke up. Leo was nudging me awake. I looked around and saw the scenery below. A soft breeze picked up as I noticed a familiar pine tree. I ran to the edge of the deck and saw two figures waving their arms around at us. I waved back but they were already racing across the camp, eager to let the others know we were back.

As the ship settled in, crowds of demigods started swarming around it. Many were cheering our names and handing cards on our way out. I was ready to collapse. Annie put a sturdy hand on my shoulder and led me to my cabin. Percy somehow reached the cabin before me and was getting ready for bed. He was in his "Finding Percy" pyjamas I made for him as a joke. Unlike him, I didn't bother changing, I just fell into bed with my sweater and sweatpants.

"Wakie, wakie Laura!" called a familiar voice. When I didn't budge, Annie nudged me softly.

"Go away!" I groaned.

"Come on, let's go!" she cried as she pulled my feet off the bed. I held onto the bars of the bunkbed and shrieked.

"Can't you see my bed and I are inseparable!" I said.

"It like 12 noon, book club starts at the Athena cabin now!" she said as she strained with effort to pull me out of bed.

"My internal clock disagrees. It's still 10," I retorted.

"OK, you got me, Leo wants to talk!" she said.

"FALSE! Leo doesn't wake until 11. Best time for breakfast tacos," I stated.

"Fine, he didn't want me telling you this, but Chiron wants to talk with you," Annie said.

"You know that you are a really bad liar, right? If Chiron wants to talk to me now, then why would he not tell me? Doesn't make sense. Annie, you are smarter than that!" I said. Annie finally gave up tugging me out of bed.

"Fine, Percy and I just wanted to say goodbye... we're going to Camp Jupiter," she said. This time I knew it wasn't a lie. I flipped over to face her.

"WHAT!?" I shouted. She just shrugged.

"Well, there's a good college Percy and I can attend there," she murmured. I jumped out of bed and stomped outside, grabbing a bunch of papers on my way. I must've looked like a joke when I approached Percy because he held out his arms and smiled when he saw me. My face contorted with pure rage and Percy shrank without even noticing.

"Where are you going?" I asked, my voice icy.

"Annabeth already told you? Huh... Surprise?" he mumbled, confused. Suddenly, I slapped him right across the face.

"OW! What was that for?" Percy whined.

"How dare you leave without telling me? What happened to looking after your little sister?" I shouted.

"At least we have a future there," Percy shouted back. He realised what he said and looked at me regretting it.

"Well, here's the difference between you and me, Percy. While you made your little dream future with Annie, deserting all of us here, I thought of a future that included all of us!" I hissed. I shoved the papers I was going to give too Percy and Annie that evening as a surprise, letters from Belle's College (the most prestigious college in America) saying that they had approved and accepted the applications I had written out for all of us. It was only a 15-minute drive from CHB! I stomped away from Percy and back to my room before the tears started falling...

Hope you liked it guys.
P.S. Please start reviewing

Yours in demigodishness, and all that.
Peace out!
