Okay, oh god, oh god, oh god. You guys must hate me. I am so sorry, this is inexcusable but I seriously have been busy. Please note that this chapter is short because it is all I could write. Next chapter is the Epilogue which I will probably post tomorrow or the next day and that will be longer.

Happy reading.

Annabeth

"Are you sure you're ready for this Annabeth?" Thalia placed her hand on my shoulder.

I shrugged my shoulders, "Yeah, I have to do this."

She pursed her lips and nodded, "Well good on you then."

I grimaced and swung my backpack onto my back. I was starting back at school today and I was going to tell our friends about my… situation. I was terrified at what they might think, but I needed them to know, I didn't want to live a lie.

Sally had re-enrolled me as Annabeth Chase, this was my first time since I was twelve that I had gone to school as a girl. I was wearing a dark blue button up blouse and black skinny jeans, with black lace up boots. I felt quite uncomfortable, what if people recognised me? What if I get teased? What if….

"You'll be fine." Percy rubbed my back, obviously sensing my nerves. I turned back and grinned at him, "Thanks Perce."

He took my hand and led me through the gates of Goode High School. We walked down the hall towards my new locker (Anthony's old locker) and whispers washed over us. Percy squeezed my hand and I smiled at him.

We continued down the hall until something hit Percy in the shoulder. We spun around and saw Luke and Ethan grinning at us. Luke clapped Percy on the shoulder and his eyes ran down my body, "Alright Perce! Got yourself a hottie!"

Percy gripped my hand so tight it began to hurt, "Piss off Luke."

Luke's eyes widened in mock disbelief, "Woah man, calm down. Got yourself a bitch and now you don't want to talk to me. Bro's before hoe's, dude."

Before I knew it Luke was up pinned against the wall and Percy's hands were clasping his neck. Percy glared, "I will smash your face in."

I placed my hand on Percy's shoulder, "Percy, it's fine. Stop."

He looked back at me, "But he called you a-"

"Percy," I smiled weakly, "It's okay."

Percy released Luke and Luke sniggered. Ethan grinned, "She's hot man. Wanna share?"

Percy placed his arm around me protectively, we turned to leave when Luke suddenly stepped in front of us. He cocked his head to the side, curiously, "Y'know, she looks kind of familiar…"

Ethan nodded, "I was just thinking that actually."

They began to circle around us, frowning. Then Luke froze, "Shit. It's Anthony."

Ethan frowned, "What?"

Luke nodded, "She looks exactly like Anthony. Exactly." He bit his lip, "Well except for the hair and the boobs and stuff."

Ethan's jaw dropped, "Oh my god, yes."

I was lost for words, my mind was blank. What could I say to them? I glanced at Percy, who was looking very pale.

Luke screwed up his face, "I don't get it, is-"

"I see you met Anthony's cousin, Annabeth!"

I spun around and saw Piper standing there smiling sweetly. Behind her stood Leo, Silena, Beckendorf, Jason, Thalia and the rest of my friends.

A smile spread across my face. Luke looked at me, "So you're that weirdo's cousin, huh?"

I shrugged, "Yeah. Also don't call him that, I know he isn't very good at standing up for himself, but I am."

Luke and Ethan sauntered off and I turned to Piper and the others, "How did y-"

Piper smiled, "I'm good at convincing people of things."

Thalia stepped forward, "I told them Annabeth, I hope you don't mind."

I shook my head, "That's fine, honestly. I was going to tell them anyway."

She nodded and stepped over to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"GROUP HUG!" I heard Leo shout and soon I was encased in countless arms and bodies. I laughed and through the mess of bodies I saw Percy smile at me from over Grover's shoulder.

I smiled back and mouthed three words, I love you.

He grinned and mouthed I love you too.

Okay, I have a lot to tell you all, so much has happened.

So I went overseas for two weeks during my term 3 holidays (Australian thing). So I couldn't update there because I didn't have my laptop or internet.

ATTENTION My Chemical Romance FANS! Something amazing happened regarding Gerard Way. So you guys know I live in Australia right. I don't know if you heard about the talk he did at the Sydney Opera house with Grant Morrison but I went to that! It was so amazing, I got a photo, I hugged him, and he signed my Killjoys comic. As soon as I walked away from the signing table I just burst into tears and my legs started shaking. It was the most incredible moment of my life!

Gerard means a lot to me because MCR kind of saved my life and they got me through a lot, so it was really incredible to meet him.

Also, I got my braces off yesterday! My teeth feel slimy and gross and I know have to wear a retainer at night for the rest of my life :( But that's okay, because I got them off!

Also I have exams this week and I have been studying for like 3 weeks so I have been focusing on that. I probably shouldn't even be uploading this and I should be studying. As I said though, no excuses.

Next chapter is the last chapter which is kind of sad, so how about some reviews? Please, I know I don't deserve it.

Love Emily xx

P.S I'm so sorry, I feel so bad!
