Hey guys! I'm really sorry that it took two months to update. But I've been really busy, and every thime I tried to draft a chapter I never got it right. Eventually I got this, though, so I hope it's good!

Now to answer some questions:

I know I am the best: Annabeth's mom died of leukemia. I though I mentioned that in the last chapter, but maybe I didn't. Sorry! And about Percy, you'll just have to wait and see when he comes in... Which is my way of saying that he's in this chapter. Thanks a million for reviewing!

I would also like to thank Spring Flight, FangirlShipperShadowhunter, and RoyalAmber for reviewing in addition to I know I am the best.

Again, thanks for reading! Feel free to review with constructive critisism, questions, or compliments! Thanks!

Practice, they say, makes perfect. And for me, practicing piano didn't exactly make me perfect at it, but it made me good enough to get into Julliard with a decent scholarship.

I'm one step closer to making you proud, mom.

As happy as I was to get into Julliard, and as much as I wanted classes to start NOW, My first day on campus wasn't so bad. Here's how it went:

I stepped into my dorm room. Cream colored walls. Two windows. Two beds against one wall, two desks in between the beds, and a closet on the opposing wall. There was also a dark green bedspread on one bed, and a matching lamp on one of the desks. The bed and desk were both on the left side of the room, so figured the right side must be reserved for me.

There was also a girl and boy, sitting on one of the beds, looking at the boy's phone.

I cleared my throat and the girl looked up. Dark, olive skin and chocolaty eyes. Long, brown hair. She was really pretty, but not I-wear-so-much-makeup-that-you-can't-see-my-face pretty. She was I'm-naturally-pretty-so-I-don't-have-to-try pretty. The kind of pretty that everyone wants to be but nobody is.

"Hi!" She said. "Are you Annabeth?"

"Um, yeah," I said. "How'd you know?"

"Becuase I looked on the dorm roster and saw that I was supposed to be roommates with a girl named Annabeth Chase. I'm Bianca diAngelo, by the way. Nice to meet you." She smiled.

"Nice to meet you too." My eyes shifted back and forth between her and the boy, silently asking who he was. He was still staring at his phone.

She followed my eyes. "Oh, sorry! This is my little brother, Nico." She poked his cheek. "Nico, be nice and say hi!"

He looked up. Nico had the same olive tone skin, but his eyes and hair were the darkest shade possible. Very black. "Hi," he said. "Sorry if my being here freaked you out. I'm just waiting for my cousin to bring me my wallet because I left it at his dorm yesterday." He paused. "I hope you don't mind if he brings it here?"

"No! Of course, I don't mind." I smiled, too. Nico was actually really nice, and so was Bianca. I was just glad to have a friendly, respectful roommate and not a creepy goth. There was a knock on the door. "That's him," Nico said. He stood up and brushed past me to open the door.

On the other side of the door was Nico and Bianca's cousin, who was, well, a boy. But I tried not to focus on that. He smiled.

He said, "Nico!"

Nico said, "Percy!"

They fist-bumped.

Their cousin is a boy. The boy has black hair and green eyes. But I already knew that he was a boy so I shouldn't be surprised.

Why am I thinking so strangely?

Bianca smirked and looked at me like, Boys, right?

I blinked and nodded. Smiled.

"So, where's my wallet? Cough it up."

The boy (Percy?) pulled a black leather wallet out of his pocket. "This one?"

"Yes. Give it here."

Percy tossed it at Nico's head and laughed. He peered over Nico's head; Percy was taller that Nico by about four inches. "Hi Bianca!"

She stood up. "Hey, Perce." He squeezed past Nico in the doorway, who was counting the bills in his wallet. He probably thought Percy had tried to take some. He walked over and gave Bianca a hug.

He looked at me and smiled. "This is my roommate, Annabeth," Bianca said.

"Nice to meet you." His eyes trailed downward. Was he checking me out? My heart seemed to be trying to beat it's way out of my rib cage.

"Guys!" Nico hollered from his spot at the door. "We should go eat. It's lunchtime!"

"You can come eat with us, Annabeth. We'll show you around." It was Bianca.

I tore my eyes away from Percy. "Okay. Thanks," I said. "Where are we eating?"

We ended up eating at a little diner on-campus that had five-star quality sandwiches.

And, for the record, five-star quality guys who happened to be named Percy. NOT that that's what I was focusing on.

After Bianca and I got back to the dorm, she helped me unpack my duffel bags full of stuff. We had an interesting conversation.

"What'd you think of Percy?" she asked.

Crap. "Um, he was nice. I wasn't really paying any particular attention to him."

"Oh. Okay. I was scared you like him or something. Most of my friends who meet him do, you know." She laughed. "I'm glad you aren't boy-crazy. Too many girls are. Plus," she added, "he has a girlfriend."

"Oh. He must hate being liked by everyone, right?"

She laughed. "Yeah. He's always complaining about it. Even complains about his girlfriend." She wrinkled her nose. "Come to think of it, they've been fighting a lot lately."

"That stinks. What's her name?"

"Rachel Dare," Bianca replied. "She goes here, too. For art, not music."

"Hey!" I complained. "Music is an art. But I know what you mean.

"What are you majoring in?" she asked.

"Piano."

"Cool. I'm here for dance and choreography. Nico doesn't come to school here- he's only fifteen- but Percy does. He's studying music theory. Likes writing songs."

When we were done unpacking my stuff. Bianca had to leave for something (she wouldn't say what), so I was left by myself. This gave me some serious time to think about Percy.

I came to this conclusion: I never really like liked Percy, which is good because he's off limits. But we can still be friends, right? Right?

No. Wrong.

That's all for this chappie! I hope you enjoyed it!

Also, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should include Percy's POV in the story. I don't know If I want it to be just from Annabeth'so POV. Review and tell me what you think!

Thanks again! See you next chapter!
