Hi Lovely's,

My goal is to add a chapter at least once a week, this is the goal not the promise since well life is life and things happen. Again, I have no real plans for this story. I do like input of what you wish would happen.

As the last week of the summer approached the camp was in a hustle getting their belongings together and spending the last couple of days with their friends and siblings. Throughout the following week campers would start to make the journeys home and to their mortal life's. As exciting as this was for the campers they were also scared because chances were that some of them wouldn't make it back to camp the following year. The year rounds however for them nothing was going to change except for the fact that they didn't have to fight as hard for their favorite items at dinner time. But for other year rounders, this was the end, it was going to be their first year out in the world, time to grow up.

It was Katie and Miranda's last day of being year rounders, they were about to move into their new apartment and their new lives. Waking up at 8am the girls began loading their belonging to their brand-new Nissan LEAF that their mother had given them for going to college. They loved it because it was not only pretty but was awesome for the environment, and them being daughters of Demeter didn't think it could get any better. They didn't have many bags, only five between them, five bags to mark all their belongings. Thankfully their fathers had given them enough money to furnish the apartment with whatever they wanted, as well as the rent. However, for them to continue helping the girls, Katie and Miranda had to each get a part time job and maintain over a 3.0 grade average which they didn't think would be hard.

The girls planned to leave by 11 since it was an hour and a forty-five-minute drive from camp to their apartment and the furniture they had bought online with Annabeth's laptop would be arriving between one and three.

At 10:50 the girls began hugging their siblings and wishing them luck for the next year, and expressing how much they had hoped to see them the following summer. Making their way to their car, Travis Stoll came running up.

"Katie." He said panting.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, worried that something had gone wrong that would delay their leaving.

"No!" He proclaimed, and without giving her a second to respond he took a quick step forward, and pulled her forward for a kiss.

Katie was shocked, unable to move. WHAT?! What was going on? Was Travis Stoll kissing her? Kissing her? He pulled away looked at her for a second and turned and ran off.

"What the hell?" A shocked Katie turned and looked at Miranda who was looking at her with a mirrored expression.

"One last prank?" Miranda speculated with shrugged shoulders.

"What the hell?" Katie repeated still in shock. Miranda just laughed, grabbed her arm and drug her towards the car.

_An hour and a half later_

With the winds rolled down and Bon Jovi blaring from the speaker all thoughts of Travis's kiss had escaped Katie's mind as see screamed, 'Livin on a pray' at the top of her lungs. With Miranda laughing beside her repeating "Lemon on a Pear". With horns honking all around them and the bustle of life as people hurried about their days. This was so much different than what the girls had been used to. Open land and hills was all they had ever known but that didn't stop them from being ecstatic about everything. They were going to live their lives to the fullest and it started right now. (I know that as demigods get older their scent gets stronger, but I'm not going to swing it that way. In this story as demigods age they stop getting attacked and can live normal lives.)

Pulling into the garage below the apartment building, everything began to feel more real, they were really doing this. In an explosion of emotions, the girls made their way to the office.

A middle-aged woman that looked like she never outgrew her college years was stationed behind a desk smacking on some gun. Katie knocked on the door, and the lady looked up.

"Hello", the lady smiled. "You guys must be, Katie and Miranda Gardener?"

"Yes ma'am" Miranda smiled back.

"My name is Samantha. I am the manager of this apartment, if you ever need anything you can come to me. Give me one second to pull your file." She shuffled though a filing cabinet before pulling up a folder. "Your apartment is a two bedroom on the seventh floor, room number 705. The elevator is right around the corner and once you get up to the seventh floor, you will make a right and it will be on your right."

"Thank you", the girls said in union.

Samantha handed the girls each a copy of the key and the hustled to the elevator.

"701, 703, 705. This is it." Miranda said jumping up and down. "Ready?"

"READY" Katie squealed.

Putting the key in the lock and pushing it open the girl's eyes enlarged. It was beautiful! ( /94913/glamorous-luxury-two-bedroom-apartment-floor-plans-photo-design-ideas/ ) Each girl had their own bedroom, bathroom, and huge closet. They couldn't wait to start decorating. But until the furniture arrived it was empty.

It was a little past 1:30 when the girls decided to order a pizza. Half pineapple for Miranda and half mushrooms, onions, and sausage for Katie. While the girls waited for the pizza and furniture they picked which room was whose. They both really loved the room on the right side of the apartment with a sliding door to the patio, so they decided to flip a coin for it.

"Call it in the air," Katie said as she flipped a coin into the air.

"HEADS!" Miranda yelled before the coined bounced on the floor.

"Tales. I win." Katie Smiled.

"Fine." Miranda said with a fake pout.

Not long after there was a knock at the door.

"Is this the Gardner residence?"

"Yes sir."

"We have a truckload of furniture; would you like us to bring it up?"

"Yes please." The girls were gitty with excitement.

The pizza arrived as the men were bringing the girls furniture up and setting it where they asked. The girls were on cloud nine. After the men had left the girls plopped down on the sofa and ate their pizza.

It was almost eight by the time the girls had unpacked and made their beds. Miranda had gone with a more modern sleek room ( /bedroom-ideas-for-college-girl/bedroom-ideas-for-college-girl-photo-9/ ) with more white and grey, while Katie's room was more classy. ( /classy-bedroom/good-classy-bedroom-best-20-classy-decor-ideas-on-pinterest/ ).

They were so excited, they had done it. They were living on their own in the big city and they were going to do it with style.

_Page Break_

Travis pulled into his parking spot in the apartment building that he was going to spend his next four years in. I had been coming up to the city to get his apartment ready for the last week, so he already had everything he needed there, he just had to go in. He had a studio apartment since it was just him and made it out to be his own personal bachelor pad. Passing by the office he waved to Samantha the manager than stepped in the elevator and made his way up to the seventh floor and room 704.

So that's it for this chapter, I'm sure all of you can see where this is going. Like always I like input and what you would like to see.
