I KNOW I KNOW I'M SORRY its been almost a year I went away for a while then I just got so busy with school and stuff (bumped up my average 4% are you proud of me?) but I am back now and I will be writing at least a chapter a week for you guys all summer long.
Amber's POV
"Amber! Get up! Your going to be late on your first day of school!"
"Ugh" I replied shoving my face further in the pillow.
"Amber! NOW!"
I turned to see my mom standing there in all her glory staring down at down at me hands on her hips while she waited for me to show some sign that I was awake. My mother was only someone I could dream to be like when I was older, though she was in her mid forties she had a stomach flatter then mine from her 6 days a week work out schedule. She was the COO of a major company and she did all of that while also managing my Dad's private medical practice. I could never be like her, I am more like my Dad, I do well in what I am passionate about which is academics and volleyball and that's about it. Neither of us care much about the importance of eating healthy or giving a shit what other people think, na we leave that to my mom and my sister.
I finally got out my bed and let my worries cloud my mind as I got ready. It's times like this I wish I was an outgoing and loud person, it would make the transition from a small little private school in Vancouver, Canada to a large public school in Manhattan much easier, unfortunately that is not the case. I grew up in my small little private school with 50 kids a grade MAX up until this summer when I finished grade ten, the summer that changed everything. I ended the school year thinking grade 11 would be just the same, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my mom would get that job offer, never did I imagine that over the course of a month my life would be turned upside down and I would end up in New York City. My parents told me I would make new friends but lets be honestly, I was a introverted girl who loved to read, had a 90% average I would be dupped a nerd immediately.
As I letting these thoughts run through my mind I got ready for my first day of hell, I picked out my favourite pair of high waist jean shorts and white loose T shirt that said "Don't text him back". I tied the shirt with a hair elastic and tucked the end into my jean shorts as it was a little loose on me as I had lost weight over the summer. I straightened my hair and put on a little concealer and some mascara. Satisfied I walked downstairs grabbed the fruit smoothie my mom left for me and my backpack and started my walk to my new school.
15 minutes later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I arrived at the school 15 minutes later with the help of google maps, taking a deep breath and walked through the doors of the school. I knew I needed to find the office I just needed to find someone to ask. Thats the shitty thing about me, if I am with my closest friends I will do the most embarrassing things possible no problem but asking a stranger for directions NOPE. I finally settled on the attractive boy waiting outside the washroom. I walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder
"Hi, sorry to bother you but can you tell me where the office is, I'm new here and need to get my schedule" I said nervously.
"Actually, I am going there in a second anyway I'm just waiting for my girlfriend, you can walk with us if you want?" he said giving me a genuine smile.
"Oh thanks, my name is Amber by the way" I said relaxing a little.
"Percy, nice to meet you" he said casually.
A moment later the washroom door opened to reveal a girl, she looked like a stereotypical California girl but her eyes ruined the stereotype, they were a stormy grey.
"Wise girl this is Amber, she is new here and she needs to go to the office to so, after me!" He said throwing his hands up and marching down the hallway causing both "Wise girl" and I to giggle at his antics.
"I'm Annabeth by the way, sorry seaweed brain can be a little dramatic sometimes."
I laughed "That's quite alright my friends back home are much much worse"
"Where did you transfer from?" Annabeth asked as we trailed behind Percy.
"I actually came from a small private school in Canada." I said "You can imagine this is quite different from what I am used to" I said gesturing around the hall.
"Yeah I can, I am originally from California and I remember how overwhelmed I was when I first came here, don't worry you get used to it" She said reassuringly.
"We. Are, Here!" Percy said dramatically ask we stopped in front of the office. The receptionist did not look amused.
"You three all new?" She asked gesturing towards the three of us.
"Well there new" Percy said pointing at me and Annabeth, "but I was told I need to check in because I missed most of last year— "
"Names?" She said monotone, it was clear this women wasn't having a good day so I just got to the point.
"Amber Jones" I said
"Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase" Annabeth said
"Go through the door on my left and wait there" She said not even looking up from her computer.
"Great thanks" I said following Percy down the hall once again.
"After you" He said holding the door open for Annabeth and I.
I entered the room stared in shock at the person in front of me, he stared back an equally surprised look on his face.
"LIAM?"
Hey guys, leave a review let me know how you liked it, personally I think my writing style has changed a lot and maybe I need to rewrite the first couple of chapters, let me know. Until next time.
