Cammie's POV

"MOM!" I scream as I stomp into her office. "Why in the world is there a new dorm across the hall from my room?" Tomorrow all my sisters will come back to school for the year. The Blackthorne Boys will also be rejoining us for the fall semester. I know for a fact that as soon as everyone gets back they will be asking for answers. The least I can do is try to get something out of my mom, the headmaster.

"Cammie, honey. Please don't scream. I'm right here. I can't understand you when you're screaming. What were you saying?" she asks clearly annoyed.

"Why is maintenance moving beds into the empty spare room across from my dorm?" I repeat in a much calmer voice.

"We are getting some new students for the year. They are transferring for the this year and possibly next year." I spin around to see none other than my Cove Ops teacher, Mr. Solomon, standing in the doorway. "I expect you to make them feel welcome, Cammie."

"But you never—"

"This is a special occasion, Cammie. I expect you to treat it as such. The new girls' names are Annabeth Chase, Hazel Levesque, Piper McLean, and Thalia Grace. Some new boys will be coming with Blackthorne, as well. Percy Jackson, Nico di Angelo, Leo Valdez, Jason Grace, and Frank Zhang will also be joining us for the year. If that is all, your friends await you." My mom says, indiscreetly telling me that's my cue to leave.

As soon as I step into my dorm I'm attacked by three girls. "I. Can't. Breathe." Liz, Bex, and Macey finally back away only to start bombarding me with questions about dorm across the hall. I hold up my hand signaling for them to shut up. When they're finally quiet I answer all their questions. "Four girls and five boys are transferring into our grade for the rest of the year. The girls are staying across the hall. Satisfied?" They all nod. "Now that that's out of the way, how were y'all's breaks? I want to hear all about it."

We spent the hours leading up to dinner chatting. We didn't even notice that the four new girls we had just talked about had just arrived.

Annabeth's POV

We finally made it. After who knows how long in a car (Chiron thought it bet not to risk Nico, Percy, and Hazel on an airplane) surrounded by ten other ADHD kids, we'd finally arrived at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, and I can say we were all excited. After all of the yelling at Chiron about having to go to school in such poor condition, he finally told us that this school is a school for spies, which made us all thrilled to go. All eleven of us walked into the school with only minor stares. Piper, Hazel, Thalia and I walked into our dorm to unpack. "Wait!" They all turn to look at me like I'm crazy. I roll my eyes. "This is a school for spies. Don't you think we should check for bugs?" They nod and we do a thorough check and find more than a few bugs put in some of the strangest places. We throw them away and continue to unpack. After I'm done I sit on my bed to think.

"What's up, Annabeth?" Thalia asks me clearly concerned.

"Nothing Thals" I lie. After Tartaraus, my friends have become more protective of me than ever. It get's annoying. They don't need to know everything.

"Nice try, Annie. I know you, and I know that look on your face is full of worry. What's wrong?" Dang it. There's no use lying now.

"There's more than I few things I'm worried about," I admit. "I'm probably most worried about sleep. The only way I've been able to get over the nightmares is by sleeping with Percy. But now we go to a boarding school. It's not like I can just sneak into his dorm and cuddle up with him in his bed. I'm sure to get caught. Then there's the fact that we have to lie to a bunch of spies, which in itself is close to impossible. I'm also worried about camp…"

Piper and Hazel come over to me and give me a big hug. "Don't worry Annabeth. We'll take it day by day. We'll get through this but now it's time to meet up with the boys for dinner. And I can say I'm hungry"

Percy's POV

After unpacking, the five of us meet the girls in the entrance hall and head to dinner. By the time we get there, all of us are almost in tears from all the jokes we told and Leo's hyperactivness. People stared as we got our food and sat down at the end of the sophomore table. I sat next to Annabeth and she rested her head on my shoulder. "Can we talk outside for a minute?" she asks so quietly I could barely hear her.

"Guys, Annabeth and I need to talk. We'll be outside if y'all need us," I whisper as I lead Annabeth out the door into the entrance hall.
