At last I updated! Sorry guys, I realized I'm making it too sad. My life itself was too cranky that time. Well, I'll make it more interesting.

Chapter 3
Annabeth's POV
"So, how was your first day at school?" asked Piper.
"Oh fun!" I replied, "New lockers, classrooms, boarding room…..they are so cool!" Piper was an amazing friend. Cool! Life is
getting better!
"Yeah, especially when we both have to share the same room"
"That is fun but….." There was this other fat loser in our room who was stuck with her makeup and show-off and nothing else
which was extremely sick. "What was her name again?"
"Drew", Piper replied, "but don't worry. She usually flirts with the guys so she won't be with us most of the time.
We walked down the corridor giggling and laughing about really stupid things. Soon we parted ways to our lockers.
Piper's POV
Back to school again. And I'm so glad to have such a nice friend like Annabeth. But I always have a feeling that how much ever
happy Annabeth is, deep inside her heart, she is not. It is pretty evident as her eyes show her sadness. I walked to my locker
wondering what would have been the cause of her sorrow. My locker contained all sorts of unwanted things like broken pencils,
torn pages of old notes and so on. "Great!" I thought, "It time to clean up", when suddenly…
A hand from behind reached for my waist and wrapped me around. Familiar touch – I realized. Then that person leaned over my
back gently and kissed me softly on my shoulder. "Missed me, right?" that person whispered on my neck in such a way that it
sent a shiver down my spine. It was Jason.
He slowly pushed my head towards his face. Then I looked into his eyes. Those electric blue eyes, which I had longed to see for
2 whole months. I rested my head on his strong, broad shoulder. Then, he leaned forward and kissed me. A deep, passionate
kiss. Man, I loved him so much. "Yes", I replied softly, "I missed you too."
Suddenly the school bell rang. Drat! Does it have to ring now? I pulled myself away from him. I remembered my locket cleaning
business. I made a mental note to find some time later and clean it.
I started walking away. Annabeth had said she had planned something for both us. Planning? Now itself? We had just met but I
felt that she had to do to push away her sorrow, whatever it was. "Stop", he said. I turned around and looked at Jason.
"Where do you think you're going, sweetheart?"
"Going to my room", I said. Okay, I guess that was a little blunt coz he frowned. After few minutes of silence, he said, "I'm
coming with you." He put his hand over my shoulder, then slid it down along my arm and finally placed it on my waist. Electric
shocks ran all over my body. I blushed.
Annabeth's POV
I was left all alone after Piper left me. But there was so much to think about. First of all, the professors were so cool and
understanding. We had a quiz and I was glad that I could answer all of them correctly. Did I mention before that I have an
immense craving for knowledge? If I didn't, then yes I do.
I had promised Piper something special. Well, I am going to show my awesome cooking skills to her. Psst, I didn't tell her that.
Anyways, she promised she would be in our room even before I come. A competition? Cool, I love that. I was walking down the
stairs when Mr. Brunner stopped me. My Science professor, I thought him as the best professor one could get.
"You got all the answers right, Anna…"
"Annabeth sir, and yeah thank you!" I replied.
"Well actually, the questions were of very high standard, child. I just wondered how you could all of them so correctly."
I didn't know. I really didn't know. The answers just naturally came to me. "Sir I…."
"Oh, that's fine, my child. I just wanted to tell that I'm marveled for getting such a prodigy in my class.
He appreciated me. He just appreciated me. Whoa! After my mom's death, no one acknowledged me. My sister and I, we fought
for everything. And my dad never came home. I gave the look of a child who just got the biggest lollipop ever.
"Thank you, sir", I said again. Then I ran. Feelings of joy accelerated my speed. I looked back for a second to see a smiling Mr.
Brunner behind me.
I couldn't wait to go to my room and tell Piper everything that happened. Okay….I am sounding like a little kid. But I don't care.
This is the first time in three years that I smiled with content happiness.
"Piper, I'm home!" I screamed. Home? Yes, this is home.
"Whom do you think you're talking to", said an overly-squeaky voice. The smell of strawberry body lotion and some sick-smelling
perfume filled up the room. Following the stink, an over-sized girl with a bath-robe on and pink hair appeared. It was Drew.
Piper's POV
"They are so beautiful, aren't they?" I whispered.
We were lying on the lawn near the girl's hostel watching the stars. Our fingers were entwined. I was with Jason.
That was what I had always dreamt and wished for. A shooting star passed by.
Marveled by this, I brought myself closer to Jason. We had been here for hours together. But, I really didn't care. If life
permitted, I would be like this forever…
"So, how was time without me?" asked Jason.
"Jason!" I complained, "Why do spoil this beautiful moment."
"Just tell me, Piper", he insisted, "Did that loser Octavian cause any trouble to you?"
I had my own problems. But only Jason and I knew that. Octavian is this guy next door. Ugh! I don't want to talk about him. He
is this awkward guy who loves teddy bears. Yes, I'm serious. I DID say "teddy bears". The story changed when he found me
more pretty than his teddy bears. Ever since that, he forces me to become his girlfriend. No ways, I have Jason with me. Okay,
maybe I am being harsh. I mean, he does have feelings for me. But, he can't force me into being something.
"Jason thanks for being so caring. I….I..." I hugged him tightly. I wanted to kiss him but come on; I can't be so moody every
time.
"He's being forcing you again", Jason asked.
"No Jason, he vacated and left. And I really don't care a damn about where he went", I replied.
He smiled. No competition for him. That made me laugh.
Suddenly, my phone rang. It was Annabeth.
Annabeth's POV
"Drew?" I asked, "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be…." I stopped. How can I ask her why she wasn't flirting
with the people outside? Ugh! Disgusting.
"Yes, my roommate. You wanted to ask me something. Go ahead", she ordered. Jeez! How can I ever survive this?
"No Drew", I said, "I'm so stupid. Got used to talking to my sister so, well I'm not going to disturb you so….."
"I am fine, babes. Just tell me what you wanted to tell. I'll leave you", she said.
Babes! That disgusted me. "Okay, I was just going to say that aren't you supposed to be…..in bed? As I said, I'm stupid" Oof! I
just escaped the hands of death.
"Okay! I understand. So now just get, I mean move aside whilst I watch my favorite Tv program.
I guess she meant get out. I sat on my bed and took out my phone to text Piper
Hey Piper, its me Annabeth. Remember our plan? Come quickly.
I looked at the message. Should I send the message or not? I deleted it. I mean, Piper is just acquainted with me. And I didn't
want to disturb whatever she was doing. I was just tossing my phone when..
"Are you ready kids "Aye Aye Captain"
I Can't hear you "AYE AYE CAPTAIN"
Ohh...
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea
"Spongebob squarepants"
Absorbant and yellow and porous is he
"Spongebob Squarepants"
If nautical nonsense be something you wish
"Spongebob Squarepants"
Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish
"Spongebob Squarepants"
READY
Spongebob squarepants
Spongebob squarepants
Spongebob squarepantsSPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
AH AHH AHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH..."
Seriously, Drew's "favorite tv program" was Spongebob Squarepants. Ugh! I guessed life would have been much better at
home.
Tring….Tring… my phone rang. It should be Piper. Unfortuantely, it was my dad.
DAD! Why would he call me? I just wondered how our conversation would go….
ME: Hi dad!
DAD: Hi Annabeth! How is your life there? I hope you're fine…..
OR
ME: Hi dad!
DAD: Oops sorry Annabeth. Instead of deleting your contact, I called you. So, BYE! **cut**
The thought just made me shudder. Well! I was prepared for the worst.
"Answer the call already!" screamed Drew. I realized the phone had still been ringing. I answered the call.
ME: Hello?
DAD: Hey Annie dear! How is life there?
Weird! Maybe it's like the first thought. Okay…
ME: Hey dad, I'm…
DAD: Life is awesome out here. So, do you want to talk to Sue?
ME: Sue? Dad I quite don't remember her
DAD: Oh! I forgot. Meet your new mom, Sue.
**from the back: Honey!**
So, dad remarried anyways. Chuck me out, fool.
SUE: Hello Annabelle.
ME: Annabeth ma'am.
SUE: Yeah whatever. Call me Sue for I'm not your teacher. Hahahahahahaha!
Very funny.
ME: So, what's up?
SUE: The sky of course! You should know that. And don't use your pocket money for unnecessary eating reasons. By the way, I'm going to be a mommy.
I was frustrated.
ME: Good luck, bye.
I cut the call and started to cry.
It was far worse than my second thought. I really wished my dad had cut the call like what I had thought before. Now my dad's
starting a new family. Unnecessary eating reasons? What was that suppose to mean?
Suddenly the phone in the room rang.
"Pick the phone, Annie", ordered Drew.
"I WON'T", I screamed. I must have been too harsh because Drew actually attended the call hurriedly.
"They're asking for you, Annabeth", said Drew. Reluctantly, I took the call from Drew. Then I fainted.
My sister was lost.
How the chappie? Boring? Interesting? Funny(no ways)? Romantic? Review please! I'm not a very big fan of Jasper but still I wanted to give it a try. I hate cliffhangers. Sorry guys :D
So please review, write whatever you feel even if you're a guest.
:D
