Yes, I know you all probably hate me for the wait, but the only reason I have is soccer try-outs and writers block. Honestly, I didn't think that this story would be so hard to write! Looks like I stand corrected. Yes, I have ideas for this, but I am having trouble forming them into chapters. Don't worry though, I won't stop. The worst thing that could happen is that chapters get shorter or it takes longer to update.
Thanks guys. Review and read on!

"Good morning, class. I have graded your quiz, and I must say I am very disappointed. Only one person got a would-be A! Miss. Chase seems to get the summer is over, why don't the rest of you?" Ms. Dodds said. My face got red as everyone turned to stare at me. Ms. Dodds began to pass out the quizzes. As she inferred, I got a 100.
"Today I would like to go over the quiz, seeing most of you need a major review. Now, if you would turn your attention to question one-" She began to go over the question. I zoned out. I already knew how to do the problem, didn't I? Suddenly, a small piece of paper landed by my foot. Cautiously, I picked it up and unfolded it.
Pay attention! -P
I smiled and scribbled down on the paper.
Why don't you? -A
Making sure Ms. Dodds was facing the board. I tossed the note to the desk diagonal from me. Percy turned around and rolled his eyes.
"Jackson! Stop making googly eyes at Annabeth and pay attention!" Ms. Dodds scolded. We both blushed deeply and the class laughed. What? Did Ms. Dodds just smile? That's surprising.
An hour later we finished the review. Class was finally over! It's boring when you already know everything! We piled into the hallways to our lockers and I took out everything I would need for choir. Huh, no Octavian smart Alec comments yet? Strange.
I walked into the choir room and Mr. Williams immediately pulled me out into the hall. I didn't even get to set my stuff down yet!
"Um, yes, Mr. Williams?" I said.
"Annabeth, have you thought about the solo? WIll you do it?" He asked.
"Um,"
"Before you answer, I want to say I have never heard a student sing the way you do. You are a beautiful vocalist. This could be a great opportunity for you! Ok, go ahead."
Hey. What the heck!
"Ok, I'll do a solo." I said. Mr. Williams smiled.
"Great! After class let's talk about what song you'll do."
"Ok." I smiled on the outside, but on the inside I was panicking. I barely talked in class! How did I expect myself to do a solo? I sat down in a chair at the back row and class began.
"Good morning, class! Today We are going to start on some songs for our upcoming concert. We are going to sing at the October dance! How fun will that be? Now, don't worry, we won't sing the whole time. It will only be the first half of it. Now, I am passing out some songs. Please! Do not lose them!" The songs came down the rows.
Titanium
Fireflies
Count On Me
Don't Stop Believing
My Heart Will Go On
One Day More
Cruise
God Bless The Broken Road
What Makes You Beautiful
Gold
Safe
"As you can see, we have some work to do. Ready? Please take a look at Titanium. We are going to sing all the way through. Here we go."
You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
Cut me down
But it's you who has further to fall
Ghost town, haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
Stone-hard, machine guns
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard, those bulletproof glass
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
We finished, and I realized everyone was looking at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Really people? OUt of all the kids in the class Annabeth was the only one I could hear! Come on people! Run it again!" I sighed. Really? No one else was going to step up and sing? Oh well. The song started and I started singing.
When class ended nothing had changed. We only sung Titanium, and I was the only one singing. If no one stepped up before the dance we were in some trouble. I waited until everyone left, then went up to Mr. Williams.
"Good work today, Annabeth. Glad to know at least one person will take this class seriously. Now, what type of music do you usually sing"
"Theatre." I answered.
"Theatre? Well, what song do you have in mind?" I thought for a moment.
"Well, maybe On My Own from Les Miserables."
"On My Own? Yes! Yes! That would be an excellent choice! It applies to middle school as well! Then it's settled, then? You will sing On My Own?" I smiled.
"You bet!" He gave me a high five.
"Thank you Annabeth! This is going to be a heck of a show! Can you start coming down during lunch? Maybe start today?" He asked.
"Sure. No problem." And with that, I walked out of the room, and big grin on my face.
How was that? I'll try to update soon! Thanks guys! Review please:)
