PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME ANYTHING TO HELP ME GET BETTER AT THIS! The first part is leaving and driving there and the second part is getting there and settling in.

*Annabeth's P.O.V.*

Last chapter...

"Today is the day" I thought, I have to leave with my dad to some stupid boarding school.

My life in hell was about to start...yay!

*Annabeth's P.O.V.*

My father and I had to spend a few days together because he was too cheap to send me on a plane. Yeah, you heard me, I would have to get onto a plane to go where I was going. My step-mother didn't think an hour dive to a boarding school here in San Francisco was long enough, so she showed my father one that was in New York. He loved the idea so yeah now I'm going to New York away from everything I know. My dad said he wanted time to bond because I would be going away for a whole school year. Yeah right, he just didn't want to waste a few thousand bucks to send me to New York. It was going to be a long ride, It is going to take 4 days to get there. (A.N.: I looked it up on Google and it said that but I really have no idea it could be 5 or 6 for all I know.)

We are going to leave in an hour, so I decided to go up into my room and make sure I had everything. I walked into my room and the only good thing about it was that I had a bathroom to myself so I didn't have to share one with Matthew and Bobby. My room wasn't very big, it had a twin bed pushed up against the wall with a dresser next to it and a nightstand. I also had a small bookshelf that was now empty because I decided to bring a bunch of books to keep me occupied. I also had another door with my small cramped empty bathroom. I looked down at my three suitcases and my backpack. I rummaged threw them making sure I had everything. After about 10 minutes I finished and zipped them back up. I lugged them down the steps and outside into my dads old Sedan car.

I walked back inside, I walked into the kitchen and looked at the oven timer it said 10:30 A.M. I knew I had a half an hour left so I walked into the living room to watch T.V. When I got there I saw Matthew and Bobby sitting on the floor playing with Legos. I sat on the couch and turned on the T.V. I kept it on SpongeBob because there was nothing else to watch. I actually kind of liked SpongeBob, I mean what else was I going to watch. After 10 minutes and Matthew and Bobby being unusually quiet with just there Legos clanking together I finally asked them "Why are you both being quiet?"

They looked up at me, Matthew spoke first, "Why are you leaving?". "We are going to miss you."

I was stunned, they actually cared and wanted me there. They seemed to be the first. "I have to go to a boarding school that is what Helen and dad want." I told them.

Bobby spoke next, "We are going to miss playing with you and you taking care of us, mom doesn't do any of that." He looked really sad.

I looked at him saddened now, "Bobby you know your mother loves you both it's just that I have more time to help with you guys than she does. She will play with you more when I am gone."

I looked at the time on the box for the T.V. it said 10:50 A.M., I had to leave soon.

Matthew then said, "It's more fun with you, Dad doesn't do anything with us either."

I picked then up and hugged them and said, "I know you guys are sad and I am too, but they will play with you more I will make sure of it."

I released them and my mother called in a cheery voice, but disgusted too, "Annabeth, it's time for you to leave. Your father is waiting for you in the car."

I said "Goodbye" to Matthew and Bobby once more and they said, "You do know we don't mean to be mean to you."

"I know." was all I said.

I didn't acknowledge my step-mother and she seemed fine with it. I walked out to the car and sat next to my dad in the shotgun seat. I picked my IPod and headphones out of my pocket and place them in my ears. This was going to be a long drive...

*Page Break*

The past 3 days have been a blur. My father and I really didn't talk, I just listened to my IPod and played around on my phone. We only stopped a few times the first couple were for bathroom breaks, getting food, or to stop at a hotel to sleep. We left very early this morning, it was like 3:00 A.M., we were supposed to be at the school in 5 hours at 8:00 A.M. Since only had a few hours to sleep I took this chance to catch up a little on sleep.

I woke up a 4 hours later. My dad had apparently stopped and was waking me up. I looked at where we were, at a Wendy's. I got out of the car and stretched. We walked together inside and sat down. I immediately realized that we were in New York. The scenery was really different and it was a little colder. I went up to the counter and order a burger, fries, and a coke.

My father and I sat down in a booth and ate silently. I broke the silence, "So how much longer until we get there?"

He took a sip of his coke and said, "20 minutes, I'm going to sign you in and then help you unpack."

"Okay" was all I said. Then it turned back into an uncomfortable silence.

We got back into the car and started to drive I listened to music most of the way. I decided to talk again, "Dad?"

He looked at me for a moment and then focused back on the road, I knew how he gets with me in the car after what happened when I was 12. "Yeah" he said.

"Matthew and Bobby talked to me before we left." I said.

"About what?'" was all he said, still focused on the road.

"They said that they were going to miss me and that they were sad because you and Helen don't play with them that much."

He didn't say anything for a moment and then said "I know we don't, but you were always there and they had fun with you."

"I know that, but they were sad and since I'm going to be gone you are going to have to play with them, make time with them. Could you at least do that?"

"It's going to be hard, but I guess I could." he said.

"At least don't ignore them, like you did to me." The last part I mumbled.

"I won't don't worry" he said before we came to a stop.

I looked up I hadn't really been paying attention to where we were going. It was a one story building with trees on the side blocking my view of the rest of the place. I looked behind me we were mostly surrounded by a forest. I looked back up at the building, in big letters it said "Half-Blood boarding school". I looked back at my father, who was having trouble getting my stuff out of the car.

I went over to him and helped pull them all out. I slugged my backpack over my shoulder and I took one of my suitcases with me while my father took the other two. We walked into the front lobby, there were only a few other people here so I guessed that we were the only new people. All of the other kids in the lobby were younger than me, but didn't look like a threat. An older man then walked into the room and said, "Hello. My name is Chiron Bruner, but call me Chiron." He looked around and then said, "Welcome to Half-Blood boarding school. We are not like your regular schools were you went before. I do know that each and everyone of you has a reason of being here and there is no need to tell anyone if you wish not to. At this school we are here to help you with anything you wish." He walked towards a door and said, " This is where we are going to go first you and your guardian will sit and one at a time I will talk with each of you and sign you in."

Everyone including my father and I walked through the door. He started to call names, when the first person came out he walked over to his mom and she got up and walked with him out the door we all came in, the next person who was called was me. I walked into the next room like the boy before me did. It was a small office-like room with a desk, Chiron sitting in the chair behind it and he gestured me to sit in the one in front of the desk. I sat down and he looked at me skeptically. He finally said, "Welcome, Annabeth chase and may I ask why you are here. If you wish not to tell me that is fine and if you do it will not leave this office." I looked at him for a second and said, " I'm only here because my step-mother and my father decided that I needed to clean up my act." He looked at me and said, "You don't strike me as someone who would get into trouble." I then said, "Well I'm full of surprises." He looked at me with a smile on his faced, he was very amused at me. He then said, "Well Annabeth, you will be just fine here and hopefully have fun." I looked back at him, "When is school ever fun?". "This is no ordinary school, Annabeth. We have fun here learn things that ordinary schools don't teach." He then pulled out a manila folder from his desk and handed it to me and handed me a key. "This goes to your room." he pointed at the key. "In the folder you will find a map of the school and the dormitory's, you will have 2 roommate's, there is a schedule for what you will do everyday, and when breakfast, lunch, and dinner are at. Also curfew is at 11:00 on school days, 12:30 on Saturday, and 11:30 on Sunday." He smiled and said, "You and your father can go check out the school but he must leave at lunch time." I nodded and said "Thank you". He nodded back.

I walked back through the door and over to my dad. He stood up and walked with me out of the room with all of my stuff.

He then asked, "So what did you talk about?"

I said, "Nothing really, he told me that most of the things I need to know are in this folder." I showed him the key and said, "This goes to my room and I have 2 roommates."

"That's cool. Is there a map?" he said awkwardly.

"Yeah." I open the folder and show him.

"Do you know what room you are in?" he asked.

"No, but it's in here somewhere." I said while rummaging through the folder. I pull out a piece of paper. "It says I'm in dormitory 3 on the girls side. I'm in room...6 on the 3rd floor."

"Lets go." he said.

I pulled the map back out and looked at it. It showed the huge place it showed this building and that if we walked through the corridor on the right it will take us out to the girls side and the same for the boys just through the right corridor. We walked down the corridor going pass a few rooms. One I recognized as a gym and another I didn't know so I looked on the map and saw that it was the library and made a mental note to go and check it out. We walked pass a few more rooms then got to a pair of double doors. When we got passed then we noticed we were outside and we walked passed the first building that was 5 stories high and I figured it was the first dormitory. We then walked passed the 2nd and stopped at the 3rd it was just as high as the first and second. I noticed that there weren't anymore, we walked inside and saw an elevator on the right and on the left were two doors that said 1 and 2. I figured that there were probably 2 rooms on each floor. We walked over and into the elevator and rode up to the 3rd floor. It was a small sort of hallway, and there was a room on the left that said 5 and a room on the right that said 6. I went over to the room #6 and opened the door with my key.

When I looked in I was taken aback, it was huge. When you first go in there is a sort of living room. A girl that had chocolate brown hair and eyes that change color like a kaleidoscope between brown, blue, and green was sitting on the couch watching T.V. She turned her head towards me, smiled, and said, "You must be the new roommate. I'm Piper McLean and yes my dad is the famous Tristan McLean and we have another roommate Thalia, but she isn't here right now."

Thalia? It couldn't be my old friend. Could it?

I looked at her and smiled, "Hi. I'm Annabeth Chase. This is my dad." I said as I moved out of the way to introduce him.

Piper then said "Hi. Mr. Chase." She walked forward and shook our hands.

"Nice to meet you Piper" my father said.

"I'll show you your room." Piper said as she started to walk past the couch.

Behind the couch was a small kitchen and then a small hallway with 3 doors. Piper walked up to the first door and said, "This is Thalia's room and she usually doesn't let people in here." Piper then led us up to the nest room and said, "This is my room." I looked inside it was pink and was pretty big it had its own bathroom. We then walked out of her room and walked to the last room. Before Piper opened the door she said, "This is the biggest room. Neither me or Thalia wanted it after our last roommate left and we thought it would be too much work to move our stuff so we are leaving it to you." "Really? Thanks!" was all I said. "No problem. Both me and Thals have big enough rooms at our old house so we really didn't care." Piper then opened up the door and it was really big about 3 times as big as my room at home. I had a queen size bed and a big dresser with a T.V. on it. I then walked into the bathroom and it was pretty big with a Jacuzzi bath tub.

"Wow" was all that I could muster up about this room.

Piper then spoke next, "I know right! I leave you and your dad to unpack."

"Okay. Thank you, Piper."

"Your welcome." Piper said as she exited the room.

For the next half and hour my father and I unpacked and put all of my stuff away. I then realized that there was a bookshelf, "Yes" I mentally said. I placed a bunch of books there. I then heard a faint knocking on my already open door. I turned to look at who it was, it was Piper.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"It's almost lunch time so I was thinking about heading down, if you want to come, but your dad has to leave." Piper said.

"Sure I would love to just let me say goodbye to my dad."

"Sure thing, I'll wait out in the living room."

I nodded and turned to my dad. I went over and awkwardly hugged him. He looked at me and said, "I will text you later. I love you."

I then said, "Okay. I love you, too."

One more awkward hug and he walked out of my room as I put my luggage in a corner. I then walk out of the room and over to Piper.

"Hey." I said as I plop down onto the couch next to her. She was watching a show that was on MTV, Girl is a show for girls to watch, and it relates to what happens with girls and stuff like that.

Piper looked over to me and smiled, "Hey. Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, I'm starving."

We then both walked out of our room and locked it. We went to the elevator and went down. When we walked out of our dormitory, we followed another path that went up to a building. Piper then said, "This is the cafeteria. We eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. Breakfast is from 6:00 to 7:30 A.M., school starts at 8:00 A.M., so it gives us time to go back to our rooms then go to class, and then we leave school to come here at 12:00 to 1:00 P.M. for lunch, then we go back to class and school ends at 3:00 and we can do anything really unless you have extra classes you want to take, and then dinner is at 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Then most people hang out after that and do homework. On the weekends we usually have party's at peoples rooms, or just hang around at the beach well, at least that's what my friends and I do."

"That sounds like fun." I said.

"Don't worry though. You can hang out with my friends and I. They will love you and we needed a new addition anyways."

"Thanks. Again."

"Hey. It's no problem. You seem cool."

I laughed. "Thanks."

We then got into the building and Piper pulled me up to a table that had people all ready sitting there laughing and talking.

"Hey guys. This is Annabeth." Piper said.

"Annabeth?!" Someone said.

I turned to the right to see, Thalia. Looking the same way she did when she was 15. A punk-like girl, with her short black hair and electric blue eyes.

"Thalia?!, I didn't think this is the same place you went to!"

"Yeah, it's. So what did little Annie do to get here and how's Luke? I haven't seen him in forever." Thalia said while hugging me.

I felt uncomfortable after she said Luke, but I just said, "We can talk about that later. How have you been?"

"Good. You?" she said a little concerned because I was here.

"Okay. I guess." I said.

Piper then spoke, "So it seems you know Thalia."

"Yeah we used to got to the same high school." I said.

Piper then said, "Cool. Then we wont have any roommate trouble."

"Why would that happen?" I asked.

"Oh. Just that Thalia didn't get along with the last one." Piper said.

"Oh, come on you didn't like her either. Plus she kept calling me Goth witch I hated." Thalia said.

"Yeah. I guess. Well anyways Annabeth this the gang." Piper said as she pointed to the group in front of us who were quiet.

Piper pointed to the girl next to her that had dark hair and an eyes like a kaleidoscope like Piper and Piper said, "This is Silena Beauregard she is my half sister and she lives in our building in the room across from ours." Silena waved at me. I waved back. Next Piper pointed to a boy next to Silena that was holding Silena's hand. He was dark skinned with dark black hair and brown eyes and he looked a little burly. "This is Beckendorf, his real name is Charles, but only Silena calls him that and we all call him Beckendorf." The next person was a boy who looked almost exactly like the boy next to him, they both had curly brown hair and blue eyes. "These are the Stoll brothers. Conner and Travis. Hide your stuff from them they are kleptomaniac." she pointed to each. Then the next was one of the cutest boys I had seen he had windswept black hair and sea green eyes, he just stared into my eyes, but Piper snapped me out of it when she said "This is Percy Jackson. He is Thalia's cousin." She gestured to the boy I was looking at. Piper then moved on to the next boy, but I glanced at Thalia and I knew that she had noticed the eye contact me and Percy had and was going to question me later. Anyways the next boy reminded me of Thalia because he was dressed in all black and had black hair like Percy but had brown eyes, Piper said "This is Nico Di Angelo. "She then went onto the next boy who had blonde hair and blue eyes just like Thalia and I thought it was just a coincidence, but then Piper said, "This is Jason Grace he is Thalia's twin brother." I looked at Thalia and said "What? I didn't know you had a brother." Thalia said, "Neither did I until my mother let it slip so I went to my father and I found him when my mother sent me here." All I did was nod. Piper took this as queue to go on. Next was a girl who had black hair and brown eyes. "This is Reyna Bellona. She is in the same dorm as Silena." (A.N.: I just said Bellona as her last name because that's her mom's name and Rick doesn't say anything about her last name) Next piper introduced a boy that had really curly hair and brown eyes. "This is Leo." Then Piper looked over to the next girl, who had brown hair and brown eyes, "This is Clarisse and she is roommates with Silena and Reyna." Then Piper finally got to the last boy he had brown hair and blue eyes, "This is Chris, Clarisse's boyfriend."

Piper then said, "Well, this is the gang and wow there are a lot of us."

I laughed. "Yeah there are."

Piper and Thalia then brought me over to the lunch line and we all got food and sat down and we talked.

Leo was the first to ask me, "So why are you here Annie?"

I glared at him, he seemed to back off a little. "First don't call me Annie, and second I'm only here because my step-monster and my father said that I had to clean up my act."

Thalia shot me a look like I'm confused?. I shot her a look that said I will tell you later. She nodded.

"Well it was nice to meet you Annabeth, but I have to go." Percy said this. I looked up at him and we locked eyes. A few seconds he broke it and looked at Jason and Nico and said, "Are you guys coming back to the room with me?"

Jason and Nico exchanged glances like they were thinking the same thing and then got up and said goodbye, but mostly to me saying "It was nice to meet you."

When they left I said, "What was that about?"

Piper spoke first, "Percy just wanted to get out of here because our last roommate messed him up a little and is scared that you might do it to him too."

"What do you mean?"

Thalia spoke next, "Calypso, was are last roommate. I didn't like her because she played with Percy's heart and left him heartbroken. She had cheated on him, with a boy who doesn't go here anymore, but anyways she was always nice to him, but not when she was around us. He caught her one night kissing this one guy and she tried to play it off where she was trying to push him off, but he saw how she went up and kissed him. She was so cruel and he just thinks that you could somehow be how she was."

"He barely knows me. I mean I guess I would sort of feel the same way if I were him." I said not sure of myself.

"He will come around he is just sad right now." Thalia said.

We finished eating 10 minutes later and Thalia, Piper, and Silena decided to show me around the rest of the place. They showed me the fighting arena, which was really cool, it was for swords and stuff like that. The girls explained how the owner loved the Greek tales and stuff with Greek in it, so we do things here like sword play, learn Greek, and we learn all about what the Greeks did. I thought it was really cool because I had always been fascinated by the Greek myths. They had a swimming pool, gym, art rooms, cooking rooms, and normal high school kind of stuff, but they even had things like architecture, marine biology, and a bunch of other stuff like that, and you could take a class after school for it.

When we finally finish it was only 3:00, so we went back to our dorms. Silena went to hers and Piper, Thalia, and I went back to ours. When we got back Thalia immediately said, "Spill."

I looked over to her. "About what?" I asked innocently.

"Cut the crap, what happened and why are you really here?" Thalia said.

"I told you my step-mo-" Thalia interrupted me.

"Not that. Why would they go to the extremes of this?" she asked.

Piper was just sitting there watching us like a soap opera.

"Okay, I will tell you." I got up and started to walk back and forth nervously. "Well after you left to come here, me and Luke got close. He asked me out and I said yes." I looked at her skeptically wondering if she was mad, but she didn't show it and she said, "Go on."

"Well, after awhile I felt as though I was in love with him and he started to want to go further, if you know what I mean. One night he was going a little father than we usually do and I told him to stop, he asked why and I told him I wasn't ready yet and he started to get mad and he said he was questioning if I loved him enough and he left before I could have said anything. I followed him in my bike and he was at his house and I saw him with another girl in him bed making out. He then started to do other things and I left. I told him the next morning and he kept trying to apologies, but I wouldn't let him. He broke my heart and I just became distant and I started to act out in class which got me into detention and I kept being late to class witch got me into more trouble and got me more detentions. My dad found out and Helen got him to send me to a boarding school which ended up being here." I finish with tears in my eyes.

Thalia got up and hugged me and said, "If I ever see that asshole again I will punch him in the face and kick him where the light doesn't shine." I laughed and so did Thalia.

That night all of us decided to stay up and watch movies, my never did text me which I realized would probably happen, but I just forgot about it since I was having fun with my friends. We didn't have school until Monday so we had a few days until then. When we finally got up to go to sleep, I realized how happy I was and thought "Maybe this wont be so bad. Maybe this wont be a hell and maybe just maybe I will be right."

A.N.: Well I hope you liked it, I thought this maybe was better than my first chapter. I don't know, but please review and tell me if I should fix something or do something with my story, I don't know. Thanks for reading!
