It had been 2 years, 3 days, and some amount of hours until this story was last updated. But eventually HotShot had gotten ahold of himself and read over the story, deciding that he would come back.

If anyone is here, then hi.

I have no words to say out of embarrassment.

When I first thought of the idea for this story, I was so excited and wrote the first 3 chapters impulsively.

I got some reviews, and some favorites, and I was super excited about continuing this story.

After Chapter 5, though, I was just scared, and had no idea how to fill the remaining 240 days with actual content that you guys would like.

I'm back. I have an idea for how I'm gonna take things now, though I'm still very impulsive.

If anyone who read this story 2 years ago is reading this, thank you and I love you guys.

With that being said, the next chapter:

Day 15

Secrets

3rd POV

Everyone has secrets. Sometimes, they're easy secrets, like a middle school crush. Sometimes, they're hard secrets, like you have a secret fear of spiders. Some secrets are meant to be shared. Some are meant to be kept as a secret. It doesn't matter what kind of person you are; you're bound to have some secrets.

Annabeth, growing up alone, has plenty of secrets. She loves to keep them bottled inside her; it's just knowledge that she and she alone knows. Here are some secrets that Annabeth would prefer Percy never found out about.

1: Annabeth actually loves the show Pretty Little Liars. Although she may look cold and calculating on the outside, she is not one to hate a comedy drama about a group of girls. On a completely offhand note, she also likes Mean Girls and Pitch Perfect.

2: Annabeth says that she likes classical music. She is actually a diehard Swiftie who also likes country music like Zac Efron and Luke Bryan. She went to a Zac Efron concert when she was 13, and almost got killed by a pack of hellhounds. She doesn't do concerts anymore.

3: Annabeth has liked Percy ever since their first year at camp together. Apparently, her first hormone rush was when she saw Percy fight Ares, and turn towards her and Grover when he beat the god. She admired his courage in battle, loyalty to Grover, and natural leadership and friendliness with all the other campers. The good looks were just a bonus.

4: Annabeth did nothing but cry when Mt. St. Helens exploded for two days. She didn't eat, didn't train, didn't read, and didn't come out of her cabin. She even missed an episode of Pretty Little Liars.

5: Annabeth is slightly less scared of spiders ever since Arachne, but she acts more scared in front of Percy. Just so he can act all protective and be the knight in shining armor, protecting his damsel in distress.

6: Before Percy, Annabeth never told anyone about the real story behind her parents. Not even Luke and Thalia knew the real story.

7: She really, really, was happy at Percy for not getting it on with Reyna. Honestly, she thinks that Reyna is the most beautiful girl she has ever seen, with the obvious exception of Aphrodite.

8: Annabeth's biggest fear is that she will be like her own mother, too busy and caught up in her work to actually spend time with her kids. But don't tell Percy that she's already thinking about their kids.

9: Annabeth secretly keeps tabs on every girl Percy is friendly with, even her friends. This is the sole reason why Annabeth will never let Percy use Daedalus' laptop.

10: The last 15 days of her life have been the worst 15 days of her life, even worse than the day that she found out Luke had been a traitor, even worse than the days she was alone after running away from home.

Not the best chapter emotionally, but I had a lot of fun writing it.

Next up is a Percy chapter then an Annabeth/Sally interaction.

Question of the Chapter:

Who would be your all-time PJO+HOO golden trio?

Mine is, of course, Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia.
