Chapter 2

"You want to go down to greet them?" Thalia asked.

"Sure," Annabeth replied, staring curiously at the cars.

"Are they first years like us?" Piper asked.

"Nope," Thalia said, popping the 'p'.

"Then, if he is the same age as you, and your brother..." Annabeth said.

Thaila sighed, "Look, guys, I didn't get in last year okay? I wasn't amazing enough for the oh-so-great Chiron,"

"Oh, well then, let's go," Piper managed, trying hard to avoid lighting the TNT.

"Yea, lets go," Thalia said, subdued somewhat.

Waiting for the elevator for a few minutes, Annabeth stopped to stare at the architecture. It had columns etched into the wall at either side of the door, the elegant tops dusted with gold. The rest a sparkly, yet dull white. The elevator doors were golden.

"You know what guys? Let's take the stairs," Piper said.

Annabeth thought she heard Thaila muttering something about installing more elevators. Well this place needs a bit of a clean-up, it's much too busy now.

Quickly dashing down the stairs, at times, jumping, the three girls finally made it down. Down one level, then another, another, all the way to the bottom.

"That could be a daily workout!" Piper laughed, clutching her sides.

"Whatever guys, I spy my brother and my brother's friend. And, he got another one I suspect," Thalia said.

"Who?" Piper asked, probably her Aphrodite part kicked in, because there was this suspicious, curious gleam in her eyes.

"My brother's Jason and his for some stupid reason, all-time friend, Mr. oh-so-great Percy Jackson," Thaila muttered.

"And he brought someone along didn't he," She continued.

"Grace! Come here!" Thaila yelled.

Even from here, you could hear him groan in annoyance. He reluctantly came over dragging his friends too. Jason was well over Thaila, but he seemed to cringe whenever Thaila was there.

"My friends, Annabeth and Piper," She said, gesturing to Annabeth and Piper.

"Well, this is Nico, and this is-" Jason said, to be cut off by the other person,

"Percy, Percy Jackson," He said.

"Annabeth Chase," Annabeth said, introducing herself, even though Thaila already did.

"Whatever, Piper McLean," She said, glaring at the boys.

"Like-" Nico started.

"Yes, yes, yes! The guy who killed the other guy with the sword, the famous actor, and all that," Piper said, now frowning.

"Ok, ok, guys, Jason, Nico, Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Me, Got all acquainted? Good," Thaila cut in and ushered all of them out.

"Wait!" Something called behind them. They turn around. It was Percy who talked.

"Yea?" Thalia asked, raising an eyebrow.

"What are you guys majoring in?" He asked.

"Archery," Thalia said, jabbing a finger in her direction.

"Cosmetics and modeling," Piper said

"Architecture," Annabeth said offhandedly, thinking about designs at the moment.

"Oh," Percy said, "Swimming,"

"I'm more like anything with a ball," Jason said, winking.

"So you do ping-pong?" Thalia asked.

"Er... not really," Jason muttered.

Thaila laughed, rolling her eyes.

"How about badminton?" Piper asked.

"Not really that either..." Jason said, looking down at the ground,
Annabeth smirked, rolling her eyes.

"Erm... sculpting?" Nico said, making it sound like a question.

"Like art?" A red-head cut in.

"Rachel E. Dare," the redhead said, raising her arms and set them on Jason and Nico's shoulders, heaving herself up so was balancing on her arms, swinging in the air.

"I'm majoring in art, if you can call it majoring, this isn't even a college," Rachel said.

Nico squired under the pressure his shoulder was getting. Jason frowned.

"Well, just sculpting, Percy here is doing swimming and Jason is doing anything with a ball," Nico explained.

"Save ping-pong," Thaila snicked, "Also badminton," Piper added.

"Well bye Red," Thalia said,

"Red?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, Rachel E. Dare, R. E. D. Also your hair's red, such a coincidence," Thaila smirked and turned around.

Annabeth glanced at Piper, Piper shrugged and followed Thaila.

"Nice work Thaila, first day and you got yourself an enemy," Piper said, clapping her hands.

"Hey she was asking for it," THaila shrugged.

"How was she asking for it?" Annabeth asked, fingering the couch she was sitting on

"Well, her hair is just so red, and I just noticed that her initials spell red, it was like practically screaming at me, 'tease me! tease me!'." Thaila argued.

"Well school starts tomorrow, let's go get dinner," Annabeth said, now looking intently on her watch.

"Yea sure, it should be on floor one," Thalia said and stood up.

"Just let me grab my bag," Piper said, quickly snatching up a small purse, Annabeth could see the side that said 'Gucci'.

Thaila grabbed her silvery and small backpack, while Annabeth just shouldered her big bag that said 'A.C'.

Thaila spotted Annabeth's bag, "What do you carry in that thing?"

"Money, sunglasses, computer, folders and papers, car keys," She said in a defensive tone.

"It's so big," Piper said,

"Ok, guys, it is big, let's just go," Annabeth said and opened the door, the three girls stepped outside to be swept into a big crowd.
