Chapter 4
We arrived at JFK Airport in New York several hours later.
"Let's get our luggages and get out of here." Thalia said.
We nodded and head to the baggage claim. We waited for our luggage and after we got everything, we came out of the airport to find paparazzi surrounding us and flashing pictures of our arrival since we didn't use a private jet, Bianca said it'll draw too much attention, and a man waiting for us. He took our luggages and motioned us to get inside the car.
"Hello girls, My name is Quintus, Bianca called and asked me to pick you up, and send you to your apartment." Quintus said.
"Actually, could you drive us here?" I asked him while handing him the address.
"Sure, No problem" He replied.
He changed direction and drove faster. It was quick ride since it's around midnight. He dropped us at the destination i gave him.
"Here we are!" He told us.
He took out our luggages and we went out of the car.
"Thank you Quintus" I said, as he went back inside the car and drove away. We went inside of the house, well, Mansion, while carrying our luggage.
"HOME SWEET HOME!" Thalia screamed.
This mansion is a mansion we bought before we became international superstars. With our money, well, our parents' money, we bought this mansion. It's been months since we lived here, because of the tour that's been going on for a half year. This place is where we started making a band, and the studio is on the next block.
"First things first, WE'RE GOING SHOPPING TOMORROW!" Piper squealed.
"no, we just went shopping yesterday" I objected. "We have to go to our apartment and unpack our stuff there."
Piper started arguing with thalia and I, but finally, she won.
"HA! yes!" Piper mocked us.
"How about we go to the apartment first? Since the mall doesn't open until eleven." I suggested.
Piper agreed hesitantly.
I plop down on the couch and took out the brochure Bianca gave us and read it through. Oh no.
"guys.." i warned them
"what?" Thalia asked, pissed
"We're going to Goode High School" I told them.
"and?" Thalia asking the point.
"And we only have a couple of days left till school starts. Including today."
"WHAT?"Piper asked "We need our break!
"Our break has been taken by the tour princess" Thalia said.
Piper huffed, and she called Bianca. You could tell what they did. Yes, they argued. for hours. Bianca finally gave up and Piper was displeased by Bianca's answer. There's nothing that we can't do, only to blame our dearest parents.
Thalia
I woke up early that morning. Unusual of me, but what can I do? I didn't much sleep last night and I was dying to get out of New York, I don't want to go to school.
I was hungry since I was up late last night and I have nothing to feed on. I noticed it's still 6 a.m. Oh schist. No store is open this early. I decided to take a jog in the nearby park. I wanted to have some company so I went to Piper's room.
"Pipes, hey wake up.." I shook her
"Thalia, what time is it?" She asked.
"Uh.. 6 am?"
"6 a m ? Go back to sleep Thalia! I don't want to have eyebags."
I went out and get into Annabeth's room.
"Annie, wake up!"
"mmm? Oh hey Thals," she checks the time "what makes you awake this early morning?"
"I'm just hungry and we have no food, so I wanted to jog and take a stroll around here, wanna come?"
"Sure, piper coming?"
"Nah, she needs her beauty sleep"
"Get ready and meet you outside in.. Let's say five minutes"
"Great!"
I went back to my room, brushed my teeth, got my navy blue jogging pants on along with a white sports shirt and black adidas running shoes, I look snatch my ipod from my drawer, got my headphones and waited in the living room for annabeth.
A few minutes later, Annabeth came from her room wearing grey sport shorts and training shirt and nike sport shoes, an ipod shuffle with earpods in her hand. "Ready?"
I nodded.
I took a sticky note and wrote "We're off jogging, meet us in our apartment at 8. Lock the door!. -T&A" and stick it with a magnet to the fridge.
We put on our earphones and headphones and jogged towards the central park.
xXx
We reached the apartment after jogging to find Piper cleaning the apartment. She told us that she was coming here.
"Hey Pipes!" Annie greeted.
"Thank gods you're here. Please clean up, I'm tired." She dropped her vacuum cleaner.
Piper sat down on the couch, and I looked around. It seems like she's got half of the job done. Impressive.
"Hey guys, why don't we pick our room first so we can move in easily and tidy up without these boxes around here" Annabeth suggested.
"Sound great" Piper commented.
"Dibs on the nearest one to the kitchen!" I shouted while lying down on the dusty couch.
Okay I'm sorry, I like sleeping and I love eating besides, Im the one who got up the latest usually so its faster for me to get to the kitchen.
"Pipes, you want the left or the right one or the furthest one? near the laundry place. Our rooms are just across each other." Annabeth called out from the hallway.
"I'll take the left one. It has a bigger wardrobe and an extra room connected to it." Piper said.
"Great! Its settled. The furthest one is a guest room so it's either for Sil or Bianca." Annabeth said.
We started moving our boxes to our room, unpack and began cleaning the house, making sure every inch of the house is spotless. It was a tough job, but hey, we're going to be in high school and we get to do everything according to our decision and not Bianca's.
"Guess we're going to go to high school tomorrow." Piper huffed.
"Let's study our 'character' and our profile" Annabeth suggested.
We opened our profile report. I stated reading mine

We exchanged our profile to check out each other's.

Our profile is very different from each other's. There might be a chance that we won't having some same subjects
"It's okay I guess?" Annie spoke up.
"Yeah totally. Wanna go out and look around times square?" Piper proposed.
"Yeah, we have to 'get used' to New York. We've been here 'all of our lives'" Thalia said.
"Well yeah, we've been to NYC for a few years back remember?" Piper told her.
"Well let's just check 'em out." Annie ended the convo.
Annabeth (because I accidentally wrote it in her POV and was too lazy to change it back)
We put on our disguises, we really didn't want to wash our hair and tempo dye them at the moment so I sticked some clip-on shocking pink highlights in my hair on different sections and placed blue contacts in my eyes.
I came out using a grey shirt with flannel, ripped jeans and sneakers. I tied my hair in a messy ponytail and put on a Yankees cap until its right on top of my eyes. Casual, just my style.
A few minutes later Piper came out with Thalia. Piper was wearing a skinny denim jeans with a long soft pink shirt and a brown, thin blazer on, she was wearing leggings and combat boots and a small purse was hanging at her side. She curled her hair and added extensions to prevent people from knowing her choppy brown hair and had black contacts with some brown sunglasses on.
Thalia, on the other side was wearing a white oversized shirt and burgundy jeans with black flats on. She had some moss green contacts and her choppy jet black hair was also extended and was put in a neat sock bun. She was holding her phone and a pair of shades on one hand, with sets of bracelets on the other. Very unlike of her.
"That took almost an hour, do we have to do this everytime we go out?" Thalia whined.
"Sadly, yes." I answered her.
She let out a frustrated groan and we left our apartment.
