AN: School is so boring.. maybe it's just because today's Wednesday -.-

I never liked this day. Anyways, here's the story :) Tell me if it's bad, I will edit it if it is.

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson.

This isn't me. I swear, it's not. The person looking back at me right now is a demented clown.

Why the fudge would Thalia do this to me? I didn't call her names, I didn't fight with her and she dares to pick my outfit and re-arrange my face. Okay, well I lied. I call her names, but I don't mean it from the heart. She knows that, I hope. Anyways, Thalia thought it'd be cool to put make up on me. She said, and I quote, 'You'll look pretty Annabeth, trust me.' First big mistake. I know I'm not 'pretty', but she could at least be nice about it. When I refused, she straight up told me that I looked awful and if I wanted a good life, I would have to change my looks. That's the difference between me and her. She wants to live life free, and I want to be transferred to another universe where animals can rule the world. Sorry, lies again. I can't help it, once you're in the game, you can't back out.

As I was saying, I want to be transferred somewhere other than this chaos world. Corny, I know, but it's what I want. Too bad it's not happening for me anytime soon. This time, Thalia used her puppy dog eyes on me. She knew me enough to know that never works, but I gave in for the effort she put in. Once she was finished, I guess I looked okay. Lie. I didn't. I looked worse than okay, and when I told her that, she started freaking out on me and telling me stuff like 'You don't appreciate what I do for you, You look pretty good, I can live on my own you know', blah,blah,blah. Just to shut her up, I stopped talking and all's forgiven.

This is our second week here and I've been trying to find a good school for both me and Thalia. I've been doing this every time we come to a new town. The schools we've been to had bad cliques and stuff, but I don't want to be a dumb person walking around with no sense of language. Thalia doesn't always agree with us going to school, but I told her she owes me this one for changing my face. I'm actually smart so why waste it? I want to get an education and actually have a life. Even if the life I'm living sucks, there's no way I can get out without using a knife or a rope. Again, that's not me. I'm against suicide, just noting this for the future.

I found out here that people don't care where you're from. From the information that customers downstairs at the restaurant gave me, I bet I could find a decent school by tonight by having a registration form signed. By running to different town and meeting new people, you get to learn stuff. Stuff like forging signatures. Insert evil smile.

"Annabeth! Stop writing those papers. The boss is gonna freak on us and it's gonna be your fault. Some new customers walked in, gooo!" Thalia screamed at me.

"Geez, fine. You don't have to get a stick up your butt." I walked over to the group that sat down by the corner. The people in there were people about my age. 3 boys and 2 girls. I've been working here as a waiter for a short time, but I can tell these kids are just as messed up as me. One way to prove it is to see Guy number 1. He has messy raven black hair and his eyes are a really dark forest green. I don't know why, but I feel like I've seen him before somewhere. I guess he can too because he started to stare at me in a really creepy way. To mask my awkward thinking face, I started speaking. "Hey, um, can I get you guys anything?"

Guy number 2 looked up at me. I'm just gonna refer to them like that. The guy looked like he was just 14. "Yeaa, sure. Could I get water please?" He answered.

"Water? You want water?"

"Yes, is that a problem?" Water. The kid wanted water. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but water costs like a dollar.

Oh no, the makeup is starting to get to my head.

Shut up. Now.

"Well, no, never mind. Anything else?" I looked at the faces of the group. Guy number 1 didn't stop staring at me. It's still creeping me out.

Guy number 2 looked around and shrugged. "No, I guess that's it."

"Okay, well, I'll be back."

Not even a minute later, I was back with water from the tap. "Here you go."

"Thanks. Wait, is this from the tap?" Why was he so surprised?

"Uhh, yea it is. Got a problem or something?"

"Oh, no it's okay. I just thought you would go all 'tap water is so gross', like mostly all the girls here who are all... who wear that much make-up." HA.

HAHA. I'm gonna re-tell this Thalia. I knew I looked like a sl...bimbo.

"Nice cover up." And with that, I started to walk away.

Key word started. The thing that froze me to my spot was a voice that whispered out "Annabeth." I didn't turn around. I didn't because I knew exactly who that voice belonged to.

That's right. Guy number 1. That didn't surprise me though.

The thing that did was that I wasn't wearing my name-tag today.

Soo? :| Please be honest okay? Review!
