I hope you guys like this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Disclaimer: As much as I would love to, I do not own PJO or HOO. Uncle Rick does.

I hope you Enjoy!

P.S. In Annabeths point of view, it is Sunday and in Percy's point of view it is Monday. It is Sunday in Annabeth's POV until I say otherwise in the chapter.

Enjoy! :) :) :) :) :)


Annabeth

I wish Percy was here.

It has been four days since the 'incident' at school, and after that, I ditched school for the rest of the week. I am actually a tough girl. I mean i'm a DEMIGOD for gods sake, I have to be! But Percy always knows the right things to say to cheer me up. Sometimes all he needs to do is email that lopsided grin and all my worries, fears, and anxieties wash away. But not even Percy could save me from the one thing worse than any monster, titan or giant. High School girls. They are all bitches. Excuse my french but I am only speaking the truth. They always seem to find you weak point, and figure out how to destroy you by using that week point. Ugh! Talk about annoying.

Anyway, tomorrow we are leaving for New York so, of course, its chaos right now.

My father is running around trying to organise things into boxes. My step-mom (step-monster) is collecting the last bits and pieces from all the rooms. (Which, by the size of our apartment, is only 3.) And since my brothers don't want to leave, they are trying to delay as much as possible. While I, being the productive person I am, was sobbing into my pillow.

Hey don't blame me. What would you do if your friend humiliated you infant of the whole school? Sure it has been four days but she was my only friend.

After about a full half an hour of crying, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said in between sniffles.

The door creaked open to reveal my Dad.

"Hey bud, whats up?"

I looked up at him and understanding struck on his face.

He pulled me into a hug. "Shhh, calm down. If Violet did that to you then she is no friend of yours. She doesn't deserve such an awesome friend like you. She made her decision, you might think it was the wrong one but she might think otherwise. She will realise soon that she made a big mistake turning on you. You have been nothing but good to her and if she can't see that, then, screw her!" He smiled. "But the big thing is that what is your decision. Are you going to dwell over the past or look for to the future?"

He was right! I shouldn't keep dwelling over her if she dod that to me.

I straightened up and looked my father in the eye. "Thanks Dad. That helped a lot!" I gave him a huge bear hug. He kindly returned by hugging me back.

"Glad I could help. Now, wipe those tears away and put a smile on your face. Arn't you excited to see Percy?"

My face broke out into an ear to ear grin after hearing his name.

My Dad chuckled. "Im gonna take that as a yes."

I nodded my head quickly. He laughed some more before standing up. "Well, I better get back to helping your step-mom and try containing those boys. Good luck finishing up your room." He raised an eyebrow as he looked around the messy room.

"Hey! Im trying!" I said defensively.

He cracked a smile as he headed out the door.

I looked around my room and jumped up to get to work. I had new motivation to get this finished. All I wanted to do right now was see Percy.

So I set to work putting all my clothes in one box, and other other stuff, (e.g. Alarm clock, phone charger ect.)


While I was packing my stuffed toys, (Yes, I have a stuffed toy collection. Percy won't shut up about it), I was sitting on my bed and fell asleep. Once I woke up, I found myself tucked into bed with all my boxes that had previously been in the room that night, were all gone.

I picked up my phone from my nightstand and read the time.

6:21 am.

"Ughhhhhhh," I sighed out loud.

I reluctantly rolled out of bed and got dressed into the clothes I picked out last night. I was wearing a light grey T-Shirt with an owl on the front, dark blue jeans, grey converses and the navy blue jumper that I had 'borrowed' from Percy the last time saw each other.

I snuggled into the comfy jumper. Cracking a smile when I caught a whiff of that sea salt smell.

I imagined his soft, raven black hair, those sea green eyes that makes me melt at the sight of them.

I was jolted back to reality when I slipped over my T-shirt that I was wearing to bed.

I hit the ground with a thud as I cursed under my breath. "Ow!" I slowly sat up, then stood up while eyeing up the floor looking for anymore surprises. I sighed when I saw the rest of my clothes from last night. I gathered them up then chucked them into the box for all the left over stuff that I forgot to pack.

I shuffled to my phone on my nightstand at checked the time.

6:48 am.

I screwed up my face, remembering that our flight was at 10:45 am.

I put my phone into my, (Percy's) jumper pocket then headed downstairs.

As I suspected, I was the only one up. I opened the cupboard door but only found it empty. I tried the next cupboard. Empty again. I did this with all the other cupboards including the fridge only to have the same outcome.

"Great, now what am I going to eat," I said under my breath.

"I thought we should eat at the airport."

I looked up in the direction of which the voice came from only to see my step-mother standing there.

"What do you want?" I said while trying back to look at the empty fridge.

"Is that Percy's jumper?"

I looked at her confused, why did she change the subject? I decided to not question her and just answered.

"Yea, so?" I replied, raising my eyebrow.

"Oh no, just asking, considering that it goes down to mid thigh."

I smiled while looking down at the jumper. Percy always was quite a lot taller than me. He was also really muscular which added another size or two.

"Annabeth?" My step-mother, Sophia asked.

"Yea," I replied while looking back up at her.

"Im sorry that we got off on the wrong foot. I am not trying to replace your mother or anything, there is now why I would even think that. Your such a lovely girl Annabeth, I was just hoping that we could start to hang out more when we get the New York."

I froze. Was this actually happening? She was apologising? Wow.

"No, its not your fault. Its just that things were really starting to look up with my Dad and I, and then you came along with your two sons. I was just scared the he would forget about me." I was surprised that I was telling her all this. it just started coming out.

She gave me another sympathetic look. "No way, how could someone forget and amazing daughter like you."

I smiled at the praise. "Thanks, and I would love to hang out more in New York."

"Oh and before I forget, just reminding you that we are going to stay with our cousins while we are in New York until we find a place."

"Yep, cool!"

"Awesome, now how about I go wake your father and step-brothers and then we can start getting ready to leave."

I nodded. She smiled as she walked off.

Wow, that was interesting. Maybe I got her all wrong.


By the time we had got to the airport, boarded our plane, and took our seats, it was already 10:43. The flight attendants were coming around giving out pre flight snacks and drinks. I accepted some salty nuts and a bottle of water. The water and the salty nuts reminded me of Percy. The salty nuts because they are salty, and Percy smells like a fresh salty sea breeze. And the water because he's, well, in love with the water and he is the son of Poseidon.

I started thinking about my amazing boyfriend. I didn't no how long I was out. All I know is that when I woke up, we were already up in the air and the seatbelt sign was off.

I turned to look at my Dad who was sitting on my right while my brothers were on my left. Sophie was sitting on my Dads right.
My Dad was sitting there, his hands gripping the arm rests so hard that his knuckles were white and he was starting to pick up a sweat.

I stifled a laugh. "Calm down Dad. I don't think Zeus would like to shot a Hero of Olympus out of the sky. Also, Athena would not be happy if he shot down her child."

My Dad seemed to relax a little but then stiffened up again when there was a slight bump of turbulence.

I cracked a smile then turned back to sit down on my seat probably. My step-brothers started poking me and annoying me. I shot them my best death glare then I shuffled around to try and get comfy then closed my eyes. It was going to be a long flight.


I woke up with a jolt.

There was a big bump and I heard the sound of the planes wheels connecting with the tarmac of a runway.

Once we had come to a stop, I unbuckled my seat belt and collected my things from the over head locker.

After everyone was off of the plane, we headed for the doors that lead out into the big city of New York.

We headed for a big black SUV that seemed big enough to fit four of us. As we neared the car, I saw a small figure leaning up against the door. She smiled once she saw us and speed walked over to my father and gave him a hug.

"Freddy!" The lady said.

My Dad laughed. "How many times do I have to tell you my name is either Fred or Fredrick. Not Freddy, Fredstar or Freds-monster.

She smiled as they pulled away. I finally got a good look at the lady. She was kinda small, about my hight and was wearing a blue T-shirt, black jeans and brown boots. She had the same colour hair and eyes as my Dad. I know who she is.

"Aunt Sandy?" I asked, taking a step closer.

"Annabeth!" She then ran over and gave me a hug.

"Oh look how you've grown." She said while pulling away arms length to examine me.

I smiled back at her. Sandy was my Dads older sister. They were really close as kids but then after College, Sandy moved to New York, but I always catch my Dad texting her.

As Sandy greeted everyone else, I loaded my bags into the back of the SUV when I noticed that my step-mother and father weren't doing the same.

"Do you want me to help you?" I said sarcastically.

My Dad gave me a nervous smile. What was that all about? I thought.

I gave him a confused look as he approached me. "Annabeth, while you were asleep on the plane, Sophie got a phone call. It was her new manager. You know, since she is now in possession of her parents company. They said that if she wants people to keep buying things from the company, she has t make people believe that she is not a step down from her parents."

I nodded carefully. Where was this going?

He continued after a deep breath. "If she wants people to trust her she has to go on a business tour all over the country. And I am going with her."

I stood there shocked. I can't believe he is doing this. We came to New York for her, and then once we lugged all of our stuff all over the entire country, he then tells me that him and my step-mom are not even going to be here for the first year? Ughhhhh! I can't believe I actually thought she was nice.

"Why? Why are you leaving me?" They were the only words I was able to choke out.

"Honey I'm sorry. I have to. I know its hard for-"

"NO YOU DON"T!" I interrupted. He was taken aback by my outburst.

"Sweet calm down..." He tried to put a hand on my shoulder but I stepped away.

I looked him in the eye then turned to face my step-mother. "YOU!" I shouted, pointing at Sophie. "You are the reason he's going. Its all your fault. Tell him he doesn't have to go!"

Sophie was about to say something but my Dad bet her to it. "Annabeth that is ENOUGH!"

I turned to face my Dad. He had a frown on his face but his eyes were soft. "Do NOT speak to Sophie like that." I winced at my Dads outburst. "I would have never told you if I knew you were going to act so childish."

I just stood there. Was I really acting childish?

My Dads face suddenly softened. "Annabeth, I didn't mean-"

"No," I cut him off. "Your right. I shouldn't have snapped." I turned to face Sophie. "I'm sorry Sophie." She nodded her acceptance then I turned back to my Dad. "Im gonna miss you." I ran up and gave him a hug. HE kindly returned. "Im gonna miss you to Annabeth. But I'll text you every night." We pulled away then gave me a kiss on the forehead. "Stay safe." "You too," I replied. And with that I headed over to the SUV and got in the front. The boys were fighting in the back. It was obvious that they had said their goodbyes on the plane. I didn't take my eyes off of the floor of the car as my Aunt got in and took me to my new home.

All I Know is that I have two cousins who are twin girls around the same age as me. I really hope they are not the stuck up type.


Once we arrived, I was speechless.

The apartment was huge. Well for an apartment I guess.

When you walked in there was the kitchen and dining on your right, the living room was straight forward and there was a hallway and stairs on the left. I am guessing the bedrooms are upstairs and the bathrooms and laundry and that are down the hall. The couches were a nice grey and there was a 50 inch flat screen TV. The kitchen looked fairly big and the dining table was a nice oak wood.

After Aunt Sandy had put down her things, she then grabbed mine and my step-brothers bags form our hands and placed them beside the door.

"Skylar! Birdie! Im home!" Aunt Sandy called.

At first, nothing happened, then I heard scuffling coming from upstairs and two girls about the same age as me came running down.

The one I saw first had long chocolate brown hair that was hanging loose down her back. She had hazel eyes with a hint of orange. She was wearing a plain light purple sweater and white jeans that were folded up ever so slightly at the bottom. She had purple slippers on and was holding onto a phone in her right hand. She looked about the same height as the second one. The second one looked almost the exact same face and hair wise. She had the hazel/orange eyes and chocolate brown hair. Except her hair was tied up in a loose bun. She was wearing a baggy indigo jumper with about 7 starts spread out over it. She was also wearing grey sweat pants and fluffy bed socks. I could tell the first one cared more about her appearance than the other one. Then I suddenly remembered that they were twins.

"Birdie, Skylar, you two remember Annabeth, Bobby and Mathew right?" Sandy asked.

"Umm... No, not really. But I have a vague memory of them. Well Annabeth. I don't think I have ever met the boys. Sorry." The one in the sweat pants stated. The other one just looked me up and down and scoffed.

Great,I thought. Another one of those.

"Don't worry about it." I said, waving it off. "I have only vague memories as well."

She smiled a bit. I think I am going to like this one better.

"Well, let me do the introductions for the boys." Sand said. "Girls, this is Bobby and Mathew." She pointed to Bobby and Mathew at their names. "Boys, this is Birdie and Skylar." She said, introducing the sweat pants as Birdie and the rude one as Skylar.

"Hi!" The boys said in unison.

The girls waved back.

Everyone stood in awkward silence for a couple of seconds until Sandy broke the ice. "Ok, girls, how about you show your cousins their rooms they will be staying in and help them settle in. But be back down in 20 minutes for dinner."

"KK," Birdie said happily. Skylar had somewhat perked up and now had a smile peeking at her lips. I couldn't help but wondered about the sudden change in mood.


Once my brothers and I picked our bags back up, Birdie and Skylar led us to our rooms. Later that day I found out that the boys were going to a boarding school in the eastern part of New York. Yea yea I know they are ten, but apparently it is a really good school and it is to far to drive every morning, so my Dad found them a place in the boarding house. I was fine with it I guess. I mean, they are boys. And those boys are my brothers. (Nothing against boys BTW :))

The boys were staying here for 5 nights before heading off to the school. They seemed fine with it. Their only condition was that they be put in the same room. Shocker!

Anyway, after Skylar had lead the boys to the room they would be staying in for the first couple of nights, she joined me and Birdie in the room I would be staying in.

The room was fairly big. When you first walk in you see a queen sized bed in the middle with one nihqgstand on the right side of the bed. There was a dresser directly in front of the bed and there was a desk that sat on the left. I liked it, it felt cozy.

We just stood there in awkward silence. "So... How've you been?" Skylar asked, breaking the tension.

Birdie and I stifled a laugh, happy that she broke the tension and laughing at her failed question. "Good, I guess. Even though I have only been here a couple hours, I already like it better than San Fran!" I said laughing a bit.

The twins laughed. "So you want sit and get to know each other a bit more before dinner?" Birdie said gesturing to the bed beside her.

I nodded then sat down. Birdie and Skylar doing the same so we made a small circle on the double bed.

"So, who wants to start?" Birdie asked.

No one seemed to volunteer so Birdie reluctantly started. "Well, my name is Birdie-" She was cut off by Skylar and I laughing.

"What?" She questioned. "I didn't know any other way to start."

Skylar and I stifled our laughs again before Birdie continued. "I am on the varsity soccer team and I am at an average level with my school work. I am currently single and I am not looking to change that. My favourite subjects in school are PE and English."

"Cool," I stated with a smile. "Who's next?"

Skylar put her hand up. "I'll go." Me and Birdie nodded.

"Well, I will just state the things that Birdie did. I play Volleyball but not for competitions, just for fun. I am also quite into fashion." I figured that was the reason why she looked me up and down when I first walked in. I mean, I am not exactly the type of person to care about my looks. "I am at average for school as well as Birdie. I am currently single but I do have a really big crush." She blushed at this comment, but then quickly continued. "My favourite subject is Art."

"Really? Art?" I asked. Maybe she was somewhat into architecture.

"Yea, just the painting side."

Well that killed my hopes. No one is really that enthusiastic about architecture as much as I am. Some people hate it. I do not like those people.

I looked over to the twins and saw that they were giving me an expectant look.

"Well...?" Skylar asked.

"Oh yea. Right. Well, I am quite into all sports but do none competitively. At my old school, I was the top student of all of my classes. I go to a camp every summer." (I didn't really want to say what it was called.) "And my favourite subject in school is Maths and Architecture."

Skylar raised an eyebrow at me. "Smarty pants aye?" She said.

Birdie hit her arm. "Seriously Skylar?" Birdie exclaimed.

"Ow! Just asking!" Skylar protested.

I just rolled my eyes as the two continued bantering.

"Well if you..." Birdie drifted off. She then turned her attention back to me. "Wait, Annabeth. You didn't say if you were single or not."

I froze. I didn't know if I wanted to tell them about Percy. I know you are probably saying, Why is it such a big deal? Well I tell them about Percy, they will start asking so many questions like Where was your first kiss? Where did you meet? How long have you guys been dating? Do you love him? I mean, most of the answers to the questions are all related to the whole 'demigod life' thing. So... I just decided to tell them I did but and come up with some lies.

"Well-" I was cut off by Sandy calling us down. "Dinners ready!"

"Coming!" Birdie shouted back.

"C'mon guys!" She said practically picking us up. "We're having tacos tonight!"

I laughed a little before getting up and making my way downstairs.


After dinner, I went back upstairs and checked my phone. I had three texts: One from Thalia and two from Percy. (Leo made a chip to put into any phone so that we dont attract monsters).

Thalia had asked me if I was settling in in New York alright and if I had seen Percy yet. I told Thalia about me moving to New York so she wouldn't stop by my old place in San Fran and see that there was an old couple there instead of my family and I.

I texted back saying that my cousins place and New York is pretty cool and that I haven't seen Percy yet. I was going to text him later tonight.

I then checked Percy's texts.

He had asked me what I was doing in the first one and then corrected a spelling mistake that was in the first text in the second one. (A/N: Sorry if that was confusing) Because other wise the first text said 'What are you glueing?'. Seaweed Brain, I thought.

I was about to reply saying that I was sitting in my cousins place in New York, (I never told Percy. I was planing on telling him when I had arrived and was settled in. Shorter version: Now), but just when I was about to send it, Birdie barged into my room.

"Annabeth!" She exclaimed.

"My finger was just about to hit send when she came in. "Yea?" I asked.

"Have you been to Greece?" She asked, clearly baffled.

"Yea... I went with my friends last year." So we could save the world from and angry earth goddess and total destruction. But I decided to leave that part out.

"OMG! I have always wanted to go there!" She said while doing me on my bed. I put my phone back down onto my nightstand and turned my attention back to Birdie.

"Only for like a couple of days." I replied, shrugging my shoulders.

"Better than nothing!" She squealed. "Tell. Me. Everything."

I laughed a bit. "What is it about Greece that you really like?" I asked. "I mean, I love Greece for the architecture and history behind each ruins. But Im guessing you have different reasons?"

"I have always had a fascination for the amazing white sand beaches there. Ever since we learnt about Greece at school." She stated.

I suddenly realised something. I didn't even know what school I was going to tomorrow. "Speaking of which, what school is it that I am going to?"

"Oh, you don't know? Ha! Funny. Anyway, you will be coming to school with me and my annoying twin, Goode High."

I literally screamed in my head.

Goode High? Like the Goode High? Like the one Percy goes to? I did a mini happy dance in my head and couldn't help the grin that was forming on my face. Birdie seemed to notice.

"What are you smiling about?" She asked.

I smiled even more. "Oh nothing."
