2 Years Later…

Annabeth

The sky was a stormy gray color, with wisps of lavender and green in the dusk. I saw my reflection as I looked out the window at the thickening crowd outside.

They were all gathered there for the new concert of the Kentucky Music Program initiates. And, more specifically, the ones that had come from our school.

The curtain was closed, so I couldn't see who the members of the band were.

"Attention, all students please make your way down to the grounds, where we will be watching a special show from the Kentucky Music Program's musicians…"

After hearing the Secretary's voice on the intercom for the fourth time, I sighed and decided to go down.

Out the door, down the stairs, with the rest of the students. Outside, it was kind of humid, despite the beautiful sky. Soon, I was sweating. This wasn't going to be a good concert. And I had already told myself not to get my hopes up. Percy was not going to be there.

An excited buzz was passing through the crowd, but I didn't seem to share it. In fact, I almost felt...disappointed.

Soon, a blue-haired announcer came onto the stage.

"WELCOME ladies and gentleman of Goode High School to our official Kentucky Music Program High School concert!"

The crowd cheered. I let out a feeble, "Yay."

The blue-haired guy raised a hand and the crowd immediately fell silent. "My name is Sebastian, and I am happy to introduce to you the concert. But before that, let me tell you that it has been an honor working with the greatest musicians of your school. And keep in mind, that you may soon be one of those great musicians. But you'll hear more of that after the concert. So ladies and gentlemen, here are your musicians…"

The curtain slowly started parting, and only the silhouettes of the musicians were visible. But a spotlight shone on each one in turn as Sebastian called out their names.

"David Wheezer!"

The crowd cheered for a guy that I recognized as one of Percy's friends. He had sandy hair and a wide grin .

"Peter Dase!"

Another cheer for a blond guy this time.

"Nico di Angelo!"

Cheers and another spotlight. The dark-haired boy looked like a bat-extreme sensitivity to light.

"Jason Grace!"

Another one of Percy's friends.

"Rachel Dare!"

The familiar girl with crazy red hair grinned mischievously at the crowd. The Princess of Punk all the way. If only Thalia was here…

"And last, but certainly not least, Percy Jackson!"

The loudest of all the cheers came for the dark haired, sea green eyed, percussionist. I looked up at the stage in shock as the familiar troublemaker grinned down at all of us.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for your musicians from the KENTUCKY MUSIC PROGRAM!" Sebastian had to shout the last three words because the crowd of students had already started applauding.

When the noise had finally dies down and the lights became dark once again, we heard the music start to blast from the speakers…

"Some legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold…"

The crowd whooped its approval for the song. Apparently the Peter guy could sing really well.

"But you will remember me, remember me for centuries.."

During the rest of the song, the crowd sang along, and soon, I found myself doing the same. This was kind of enjoyable.

When the song was finished, I found myself cheering with the rest of the crowd, rather lightly, though.

When the crowd became quiet again, the next song started.

"Am I wrong, for thinking out the box from where I stay? Am I wrong, for saying that I choose another way?"

Instead of cheering again, the crowd started singing along. I did the same, a smile tugging at my lips.

At the end of the song, the familiar applause and cheers. Then the next song.

"I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones, Enough to make my systems blow. Welcome to the new age, to the new age. Welcome to the new age, to the new age."

Something seemed familiar about these songs, but I couldn't tell what. So I just enjoyed myself, laughing and dancing to the music with all of the other students.

After Imagine Dragons came Maroon 5.

"I really wanna love somebody. I really wanna dance the night away."

The crowed cheered again, before singing along.

Then, in the middle of the word love, it hit me.

These were all of the songs Percy and his friends had played whenever I had come into their room. The thought made me smile a little bit wider.

But when the song ended, I knew that that was the last of the familiar songs. I thought the concert was going to be over, until I heard another song start up.

Oh her eyes, her eyes

Make the stars look like they're not shining

Her hair, her hair

Falls perfectly without her trying

The students in the crowd raised their arms and swayed them to the rhythm of the music.

And in the middle of the song, I swear my heart had stopped.

Because Percy had stared right at me.

I stared back at those sea-green eyes, and then the moment was over. He went back to his percussion.

At the end of the concert, the crowd roared its approval, and Sebastian came back into the center of the stage, in front of the band.

"Now, did you guys like that?!"

The crowed cheered and whistled.

Sebastian grinned. "Well, if you liked that, then you will certainly like our very next announcement. Percy, take it away."

Percy walked out from behind his set of drums and took the microphone from Sebastian.

"Thanks, Sebastian. And hello Goode High!"

His voice had become deeper, and so much had changed about him. He was slightly taller, more muscular, and his features seemed more defined.

So much had changed in the two years I hadn't seen him.

"Now, two years ago, I was a student just like yourself, who loved music. And I have a very special announcement for those of you who love music as well."

"Now, Peter here is an excellent singer, but we need a female singer to join the group. Rachel here is better at playing her guitar. No offense, Rach."

The crowd laughed, and Rachel grinned.

"So if you have a passion for dancing in the mirror and singing in the shower, then be sure to meet us after school in the ensemble room. Keep in mind that we're only going to be here for one week, before we're off to Kentucky again, so come in ASAP!"

The crowd applauded and cheered.

"And we're looking forward to see all of you again, all of our friends that we haven't seen in...um...a lot of days!"

A few students near the front yelled "730!" at him.

"Yeah. So make sure to look for us throughout this week at school. Tomorrow's Sunday, so practice your singing skills and be ready on Monday! Other than that, good night, Goode High!"

The crowd clapped again, before starting to head back towards the school. But some burning thing in my heart told me to go backstage, to say hello to the boy I hadn't seen in 730 days.

So I started to walk briskly against the crowd, towards the stage. Slowly, I got faster, and soon I was running. I clambered up the steps of the stage and headed for the curtain, when Sebastian stopped me.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't pass the curtain…"

But I went around him, and stepped up to the curtain, pulling it open.

A/N: HAHA CLIFFHANGER!

I hope I'm killing you right now. :D

Anyway, thx for all of your reviews and everything. It really means a lot to me.

And if YOU want a shoutout in the next chapter, find out how many times I said the word 'crowd' in this story. I really think I overused the word. Make sure you include the one in this author's note.

And let me see at least 8 more reviews until I post chapter 11, kay? Tanks.

See you guys next chapter! Bie!
