*Annabeth's Pov *

I was annoyed. I hated these 'girl meetings'. They were stupid. They were for girls 10-16 years. They supposedly 'bonded' us. Or something stupid like that.

I walked into the room and saw Rachel Dare sitting on a chair, at the front next to the owner of this place. She was with one of the head guards, miss dumbass, as the boys and I call her.

When all the girls were there, Dumbass introduced the owner and Rachel. I didn't listen to that part. Gods of Olympus, I've been here for 13 years!

You may be wondering why I said Gods of Olympus, right? Well, as well as a nerd in disguise, I'm a mythology freak. The one thing I'm certain of from my past, is that I'm at least part Greek. I know for certain that my friends are half Greek as well.

The owner stood up.

"I'll just cut to the chase, your all going to an all girls boarding school." He said.

I froze.

All my friends were boys. Girls either hated me or thought I was weird and didn't come close. I was perfectly fine with that. I had Percy, Jason, Grover, Leo and Nico. I was happy. who needed more friends?

I couldn't stay here. Not when I would be sent away from them. They were my family, I'd never had one. But to me that hadn't ever mattered, as long as I had them. Even if they were nuts (Leo) or pretended they weren't emo (Nico) or- you get the idea.

I made up my mind. I was leaving. Leaving this wretched place and never coming back. ever.

I knew the world was a horrible place, with lots of danger at every turn. Leo had told me of his adventures and so had everyone else, san Percy, as he has been with me for like, 12 years.

I wonder what would become of them. Would they do any Epic pranks? Would they get in trouble constantly? Would they continue going to the beach at midnight? More importantly, would they let me go?

I mean, I know for a fact, that they would miss me. I mean, we know almost all each others Secrets and ideas and plans and stuff.

I decided, that I'd leave tonight. I'd announce it to them at the beach, as they would probably yell at me, and then we'd all get caught.

I walked out of the room, towards them.

I knew my posture was different, like something had changed about me. I tried to look the same, so I wouldn't break down in front of everyone.

"What's wrong? What happened? Annabeth!" Percy asked me.

I just stood there, shacking, silent tears started dripping down my face. Percy stood up and hugged me. I collapsed, if Percy hadn't been holding me, I would've fell.

They were all shocked, I mean they've never seen me cry, and some pretty painful things have happened to me. like I broke me arm, sprained my ankle and the guards used to tease me about my parents.

And here I was, crying in my best friends arms.

Percy carefully put me down and sat me in his lap.

"Annabeth? Can you tell us what's wrong?" Jason asked me.

I took a deep breath.

" have to to to go to a a all girls bor boarding sch school in in a a week." I stuttered.

Then, all Hades brook loose.
