Hello Rebels! I am back with another chapter, but at the end of this chapter, I have an important author's note, which I would like you all to read. No exceptions. Anyways, I do not own PJO/HOO and any other characters that I mention. I will say other things in the bottom AN.

Here's the chapter!


Piper's Point of View

Once we reach ours cars, I give Annabeth a hug, and hand her all her bags I was carrying. I go through JCPenny, and pull out the dress I got for her.

"Here, I got this for you."

"Piper, you didn't have to."

"I know, but it's like a welcoming gift into our groups of friends." She nods and hugs me again.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome." She turns and goes to Thalia's car. They both get in, and drive away. I say bye to the other girls, and go to my car. I start the ignition, and drive home.

Chapter Seven

Annabeth's Point of View

After we had finished our shopping trip, I drove home in Thalia's car. The drive from the mall was short, and Thalia, no matter that we had the windows down and the people around us were threatening to call the police. It was a very energetic car ride, but at least I still got home in once piece. When we reaached my house, I quickly popped open the trunk, and pulled out my bags. I went to Thalia's window, and she rolled it down.

"Thanks for the ride, Thalia. I'll see you tomorrow after school?"

"Yeah, tomorrow after school, in the lilbrary." I smile, and walked away. Once I reached the door to my house, I turned around to wave goodbye. She waved back, and drove off. I entered my house, and looked around. I heard no noise, and saw nobody around. I walked around the first floor, searching for my "family." I see no sign of them downstairs, and no sign that a dinner was prepared. I look upstairs, and once again see no sign of them. I sigh once I realize that they went to dinner, and had forgotten about me. I just hope that Rachel remembers to bring me some food to eat, as I had eaten nothing at the mall. I grab my keys, and open the door to the attic. I climb the short, steep set of stairs and enter the attic.

During my short amount of time in high school, I had gotten a few jobs to earn myself some money to live on. That was the money that I had used at the mall. I had only used about a sixteenth of the money at the mall. The money I had earned had been put in a jar at the back of my wardrobe that my dad had lugged up here when I first moved in. Over time, I had forgotten about how much I earned, and about a couple years ago, I realized that I could no longer fill the jar with money, so I had used a bit of it to buy some new things for my room.

I had bought two cans of white paint to paint in the interior of the attic. I had also stopped at the hardware store to buy some Christmas lights (it was winter when I went to buy the supplies.) I bought some art supplies and created some wall art for my room. I created a pillow based on the Fault In Our Stars. It said, "Some Infinities Are Bigger Than Other Infinities." It was also covered in silver glitter. I created some wall art based on Paper Towns, and I had a fleece blanket based on a character from the book Divergent.

I go to my dresser made from dark, polished wood, and open it. I get out a pair of leggings that I had bought a couple weeks ago with Rachel, and my Harry Potter sweatshirt with the words, "I Solemly Swear That I Am Up To No Good." printed on it. I pick up my book, Paper Towns, and begin to read from where I left off.

After about an hour, I hear knocking at the door to the attic. I call out, "Watch out!" I push the button that opens the door, and once it is completely opened, Rachel comes in, carrying a take out box.

"Hey. How was shopping?"

"It was fun, actually. The girls were really nice, and one of them even bought me a gift to welcome me into their group."

"Really? Can I see what you bought?" I nodded, and got up to retrieve the bags which I had placed in my dresser. I got the bags, and walked over to Rachel. I opened the bag from JCPenny, and handed her the dresses one by one, which she neatly folded, and piled into a stack. With every dress she saw, she would say something nice about it. I continued to hand her the articles of clothing that I had bought, until we reached the ones from Forever 21. Once I had handed her all of the items that I had bought today, she immediately said that she was going to pick my outfit out for the rest of the week, and that I was not allowed to object. I agreed, because there was no point in arguing.

I watched as Rachel had rummaged through the pile of clothing on the bed, and the other piles of clothing in my wardrobe. Suddenly, she stopped, and pulled something out from the back of the wardrobe.

"What's in here, Annie?"

"Uh, it's all the money that I've been saving for life. It's what I used to go to the mall today, and buy all of the stuff for my room. I've been saving for almost two years now." I say. She opens the jar, a glass mason jar painted with blue acrylic paint, and a cutout of the two clouds from the cover of the Fault In Our Stars, and her jaw dropped.

"Annie, how much is this?"

"I honestly don't know. I have a couple more boxes full of money on the top of the wardrobe. The money is all for college, and other stuff that I need, and no, you cannot have any." I say. I knew that Rachel was going to ask for some, because I saw a glimmer in her eyes, and a smile forming on her lips. "I'm also going to hide the money in a new spot so you won't be able to find it."

"Oh man! Okay, fine! Do you want me to get out so you can hide it?"

"Nah, I'll do it later. You can get back to what you were doing before." She smiles, and goes back to rummaging through my closet. After about five minutes, she comes over to me, and holds up an outfit. In her hand is my new plaid flannel, a pair of black jeans, my new beanie, some black Converse Chuck Taylors, and the new elephant necklace I got today.

"How about this," Rachel asks.

"It's great. Yeah, I'll wear, not that I have much of a choice anyways."

"Try it on; see how you feel." I go behind the changing board that I had set up in my room, and quickly change into the clothes. They feel comfortable, okay. I walk out, and give Rachel a thumbs up, which she returns. When we were kids, we came up with a sequence of signals, and the thumbs up meant okay. I go behind the changing board and change into my regular outfit.

"Okay, well, Annie, I'm not sure what else you're going to do to your appearance tomorrow, but I have to go see what I'll be wearing tomorrow. When you finish your dinner, just throw it away. Bye!" She walks out, and almosts falls on the stairs. I chuckle quietly, and shut the attic door. I turn around and go to my dresser. I pull out the jar of money, and boxes from the top of the dresser, and set them on my white desk. I reorganize the clothes that Rachel had thrown on my bed. Once I had finished that, I pick up my keys, and turn the small remote that controls the door to the attic around. On the back of the remote, I placed an incredibly small button that opens a small compartment placed in the wall of the attic. The button is incredibly small that you have to really look if you want to find it.

I find the button, and push it, opening the compartment. I quickly place the jar, and boxes of money in the compartment, and close it. I go to my bookbag, and pull out the planner that Rachel got me. The planner is a grey/white chevron spiral book with a black 'A' in a small white cloud in the center. I open it, and write myself a small note saying that my money is now in "The Box." "The Box" is what I call the compartment.

I get back to my book, and continue reading for an hour, slowly eating my dinner of General Tso's chicken, and some rice, with a glass of lemonade. Once I finish, I throw away my trash, and set the glass on my nightstand for me to pick up tomorrow. When I finish reading for the day, it is 10:00, so I close my book, and get up. I walk downstairs to go to the bathroom to brush my teeth, carrying down my toothbrush and toothpaste. I quickly finish what I have to do in the bathroom, and head back upstairs. I get in my bed, and turn off the lamp.

As I stare at the stars on my ceiling, I wonder about what my plans for tomorrow are. I know I have to meet up with Thalia in the library, and I have to meet up with Percy in the library, but at 7:00 in the morning, not in the afternoon. But, what about music? Music will be different now that they know what "MP" looks like. I can't just hide myself from them. But, I can at least keep my name a secret from them, except Percy and Mrs. Monu.

I keep thinking about tomorrow until I fall asleep.


I wake up just as my alarm clock blares it's constant beeping, signaling the beginning of another day. I quickly get up, and head downstairs to the bathroom. When I get in the bathroom, I quickly do my business, brush my teeth, and wash my face. Once I finish, I run back upstairs, and shut the door to the attic. I get dressed in the outfit that Rachel had chosen for me. It's not my typical choice of clothing for school, since it doesn't have a hoodie to wear over my head, but it'll have to do. I get my bookbag, and a breakfast bar from my stash, and head downstairs to begin my walk to school.

...

I get to the park, and I see Percy standing in the parking lot, looking around. As his head passes me, he stops, and starts walking in my direction. "Annabeth!" I sigh and walk to him, meeting halfway.

"What Percy?"

"I wanted to give you a ride to school. That way we can arrive at the same time for our study session, and not have to wait for each other." I contemplate my choices, as he does have a point.

"Alright. Let's go."

"Great." We walk over to his car, and climb in, heading towards one of the places where I don't feel as safe as I do in the attic.

We get to the school in about five minutes. We get out of the car, and walk to the entrance, leaving a comfortable silence in the air. We reach the library, and begin working on our work, trying to get Percy to answer correctly.

"This is pointless. How am I supposed to know what any of this means?" Percy exclaims.

"Shh, Percy, you need to study this at home too, so you can know what to do the next day." I look at my watch. "It's getting late, and I need to stop by my locker. That's it for today. I'll see you later, Percy." I get up, and help him pack up his stuff. I leave the library, and see something I was not expecting to see.


Hello Rebels! I have finished another chapter, and I hope you liked it. I apologize for the wait, and I would also like to say that you may want to expect irregular chapters. It takes me a while to write the chapters, and then to edit them, and then to publish them, that I start to write on part on one day, and the last part on the next day. I apologize, and would like to say that the next chapter will be sometime in between Friday, through Sunday.

Here is the important thing that I was telling you about in the first AN:
You have all been saying that I am copying the story Hidden by Lilianne Chase (I apologize if I misspelled her name). After five of you said that I am copying her story, I checked it out, and read it. As it turns out, my story does seem like hers, so I will be changing it up a bit. I hope this makes you all happy. If I find another review saying that my story is like Hidden, then I will most likely delete this story. Just so you know.
