Chapter 2

Annabeth's pov

I walked into music two minutes before the bell rang and took a seat. The rest of the band, well those in this class - so Thalia, Piper, and Hazel - sit on my right and there are three empty seats on m left. Right before the bell rings three boys come running in with the teacher own their heels. Ms. Aphrodite (my aunt) who is also the teacher is wearing a teal and grey tank top, short shorts, and ankle high silver gladiator sandals. After she introduces herself she proceeds to yell at all the boys in the class for staring. Next she tells us to look to our left and our right to see who we are sitting next to because the are the seats we are in for the rest of the year. I look to my left because I know that Thalia is on my right. When i see who is on my left i almost die. I swear this kid is following me. The thing sitting next to me is none other than the idiotic Percy Jackson and his band of weirdos Leo and Jason. I nudge Thals and Piper to get their attention and when I do I gesture to my left and they stare in horror at the boys until Aphrodite announces that we will be put into groups based on our singing level. After we are down the excel group consists of me, Thals, Piper, Jackson, Valdez, Grace, Seline who I've yet to meet, that idiot RED, and a brat named Drew. Each group is given an assignment where they have to write a song using the instrumentals she provided us. Since class was ending soon we decided to meet at Starbucks after school to work on the project. Aphrodite told us she would give us a theme our song had to incorporate tomorrow and sent us on to our next class. Wahoooo, on to math (note that sarcasm). In my math class I was joined by Hazel, Thalia, Piper and Juni, and the full band of Half Bloods also blessed us with their presence (again note the sarcasm). All the girls in my math class were swooning over THB, and so I thank the gods for colored contacts so we weren't noticed. In my math class we were not allowed to choose our own seats so with my luck I got stuck at a round table. On my left was Thalia, on my right was Percy, next to Percy was Jason, next to him is Piper, then Leo, and finally Thalia next to me. Math was really boring and then we got homework. After math it was time for Ancient Greek with Mr. Brunner, yes, this is a class I can't wait for. In ancient Greek I have Thals (who is in all of my classes), Hazel, along with Percy (again), Frank, and Leo. Our teacher is really nice, and in the class we first do a quick warm up on the board to see where everyone is with speaking greek. Luckily Artemis made us all learn fluent greek so we had no trouble with the question which was πως σε λένε? Which translates to what's your name. When he called on me I answered Ανναμπεθ, Thalia answered Θάλεια, and Hazel answered Φουντουκιά. The boys were trying to show off so they all said το όνομά μου είναι and then their name which translates to my name is. We also went over all the names of the gods and goddess and the realms they preside over, it turns out that the only people that knew all of it were in our two bands. The last thing we did was get a project. The project was that we had to choose an Olympian to research and then present a presentation on in two weeks. For my project I choose Athena who my mom happens to be named after, Thalia chose Artemis, Hazel choose Demeter. The boys chose the following Percy-Poseidon, Frank-Ares, And Leo-Hephaestus. After Greek class it was time for lunch. Finally.

When I walked into the lunchroom I put my stuff down at the table my band mates were sitting at and left to get some food. I was walking back to my table when I saw a girl I recognised, Selina I think her name was, got up on the stage at of end of the cafeteria. "Hello, as you know I am Selina. I am here to introduce to you two new bands that just recently joined our school, also as you know due to tradition these new bands will each perform one song to show us what their made of. As you all know these songs can be original or a cover of a song. We will start with the boys first come on up boys." when she finishes Selina walks off stage back to her seat and THB get up and get on stage. Many people are cheering waiting for this performance. This should be interesting. Percy grabs a mic stand and tries, but fails to settle the crowd. " What's up Goode High!" When he said this the crowd went absolutely nuts. "Today we will be performing an original song. Now keep in mind that we have yet to show this to a crowd." At this the crowd cheered for them to start chanting THB, THB. "Let's get this started shall we." There's one last cheer from the crowd as the band finishes setting up. "This song is called Good to be Alive." Nico on drums, Frank playing bass, Leo helping with the drums, Jason on up singing, and Percy as lead singer.

Good to be Alive-Andy Grammer

Percy,Nico,Jason,Grover,Leo,Frank,All

The song started with a little bit of drums and Leo clapping, then Percy started singing.

(P) uhhhh,ohhh, alright,uh-huh I've been grindin so hard trying this stuff for years.

(L) Uh-huh

(J) And I got nothing to show just climbing this rope right here

(N)And if there's a man upstairs he keep bringing me rain

(L)Uh-huh

(F)But I've been sending up prayers and something's changed

They were all taking turns singing while clapping to the beat. Most of the crowd was clapping to and I have to admit that this is a pretty good song but we can do better. Then the music changed and there was still clapping it was just quieter and now there was some piano too. All the performers minus percy started to move back to their places fading to the background leaving percy in the front.

(P) I think I finally found my hallelujah, I've been waiting for this moment all my life now all my dreams are comin true yeah I've been waiting for this moment

Percy held out moment for so long I thought he was going to pass out it was very impressive. While singing this note Percy was holding onto the mic stand for dear life

(P) Feels good to be alive right about now.

Percy starts dancing around the stage carrying the mic with him.

(All minus percy) Good, good, good,good to be alive right about now

The boys start coming forward leaving their spots forming a line with Nico first holding his mic, then leo,grover, and lastly percy, with jason and frank handling the music. The crowd was really getting into it now clapping to the beat and some dancing.

(N) I was dead in the water nobody wanted me

(L) I was old news, I went cold as as cold could be, but i kept throwing on coal tryin to make that fire burn.

(G) Sometimes you have to get scars to get what you deserve

(P) I kep moving on and now i'm moving up dang, I'm feeling blessed with all this love

While they sang this they passed Nico's mic down the line. When Percy said love he made a half heart with his hand and that was the signal to move back to their spots and continue playing.

(P) I think I finally found my hallelujah, I've been waiting for this moment all my life now all my dreams are comin true yeah I've been waiting for this moment

(All minus percy) Good, good, good,good to be alive right about now good, good, good, good to be alive right about now

(P) Hallelujah let that bass line yeah, say hey, and it's good to be alive right about now

Now Jason and Percy were standing in the front next to each other with percy's mic

(P) I almost can-cannot handle it

(J) I could get u-could get used to this

(P) I almost can-cannot handle it

J) I could get u-could get used to this

They kept tossing the mic back in forth as they sang, Jason walked back to his mic stand leaving Percy in center stage with the mic

(P) I think I finally found my hallelujah

(All minus Percy) Hallelujah (6x)

(P) Feels good to be alive right about now

(All minus Percy) Good, good, good, good to be alive right now

(A) Good, good, good, good to be alive right about now (4x)

(P) Alright

The song finished and the crowd went wild, jumping and cheering. I looked over at the Muses and smile they look back and return the smile. "Well they've yet to see us, let's blow the roof off this place." Thals says. I think, 'Oh, this will be too easy.
