"Here you are, you'll be well taken care of here." Bethany smiled giving me hot cocoa.
"Thanks." I croak.
I took a sip. Hmmm.
"What did the headmistress say?" I ask after a pause.
"When they get your results we'll find out." She checked my temperature using the back of her palm.
"You're no longer hot. I think you just need some rest. I know something frightened you and I'm not gonna ask. I just hope you know we're good people here. If your results don't turn up right, I'm sure you would still be welcome to stay a few more days until you decide where to go."
I take a gulp of hot cocoa not caring that it's burning my tongue.
I look at Bethany with her orange-red hair and green eyes. They weren't sea green but pretty close.
The prick in my chest and I swallow back my fear.
I know I'm safe here, thankful that I knew of this place.
"I really appreci-"
"Ms. Smith."
"Madame Dianne?" Madame Dianne, European red head, Freshman head teacher had a smile on her face, a sheet of paper in her hand.
"I have in my hands Ms. Chase's results. The headmistress would like a word with her."
Bethany gave me a reassuring nod.
I stand from my place on the rug beside an old style fireplace and followed Madame Dianne to the headmistress' office.
She knocks twice on the door and enters.
Headmistress Aggie was not your typical stereotype of strict headmistresses in schools like this. She was young and dresses her age which I guess is around 26. With her brown hair and blue eyes and young face that has smile lines I'd say she's pretty happy with what she does.
"Have a sit sweetie." She motions to the pretty fluffy chair in front of her modern desk.
I sat.
"We had your test check." Madame Dianne gave me the sheet in her hand.
I read it.

NOTES: Annabeth claim to have Dyslexia and ADHD, despite this she is in fact qualified for a Holly Prep Scholarship. She will be granted prior passing the private interview with the Headmistress.
"We are very Impressed. Your results are just wonderful. Considering the last minute notice, I'd say we are about to have a very bright student join Holly Prep."
"If you would have me. I just want to ask one question."
They both nod.
"Do I need any guardian to sign papers or..?"
"No, we have alot of students in Holly Prep that just wandered here and when qualified was given a place, no questions asked. Though, Of coarse we ask basic questions that I would like you to answer in our scheduled interview tomorrow morning 8 AM sharp. Madame Dianne will escort you to one of our guest bedrooms. When you pass the interview and I am certain you will, all you have to do is choose if you want to stay and you become a resident student here because the scholarship not only covers uniforms, tuition, books and other supplies but also dormitory residence and the like."
I nod. "Okay."
"Do you have any more questions?"
"Not at the moment."
"Well, then, Madame Dianne lead the way. Good Night dear."
"Good night ma'am."
Bethany waited for me outside the guest room I am going to stay in.
"How was it?" She asks happily.
"It was well." I said.
"I hoped so. I have your bags in there."
"I say." I was guarded.
I didn't want to get attached so much. It might end up just like Stacey...
"Would you like me to help you unpack?"
"No thanks. I got it."
Bethany nodded.
"Okay then, good night Annabeth."
"Good Night." I reply entering the room.
ELLO!
I know there's a bit of confusion but I always do my best to answer your question in the next chapter.
Now I may not be able to update a chapter next weekend or the weekend after because I have college entrance exams on August 25 and 31... Sunday and saturday so Just a heads up.
Replies.
Pepper1244 -Here, a tissue:) Aww...I hopeI didn't ruin in to you too much...if I did you were warned but I'm also still sorry.
Mayhaah- You're on a sugar rush...I think that's enough sweets for now.
RANDOM dude -thank you! You are awesome too as for the crying just let it out...you'll feel better. :) You're filipino right? I am so happy that there's no school on Wednesday too and Monday next week.
dakota845- uhh...sorry? I hope this huge lollipop compensates for that!
Les 3 Magnifiques- Thanks so much. I hope you enjoyed the reading.
rocketeer-girl- hey gal pal glad you caught up on that...:) I'm happy you enjoyed the movie, i love logan too. As for the guy...I'd say just see where this takes you if he really is just using your awesome smartness I's say you should thank him for making you know how awesome you are but then just do your best to try to get over him. I spent 9 months getting over this guy I liked that liked my friend...If I could do it you can too. Just enjoy feeling the butterflies...the right guy will come when both of you are ready but if you are meant to be with your crush right now...then let fate take it's course the gods know that's what we're doing with percabeth...I mean Annabeth hated him at first because he was annoying but then after some time they are the best couple I could ever ship. So hang in there gal pal. I'm still always here to listen although replies take long though. Now, I am honored how you actually gave this fanfic a chance like that, it makes me warm and tingly inside:)OH! and thank you sooooo much for the fiction press fic suggestion. I really loved the story and it is now on my fave list in my fictionpress account so thanks! In the previous chapter Percy and Annabeth was...waaaayyyy...doooooown...there...? you know and after everything all percy wanted was to make sure sh would still be alive. He wasn't permitted to wish himself and her out of tartarus it had to be one of them and he chose to save her. That was his one wish.
alyaJackson- Yeah:) Happy Anniversary Percabeth too:)
Thanks for the reviews. I haven't been getting the best reception...well, the best number of reviews but I do appreciate every one you guys took the time to type down.
Guys kindly like this page of mine.

Just replace the word dot with a real dot.
I recommend you guys to read 'The fault in our stars' and 'Looking for Alaska' both by the author I am sure hates happily ever afters JOHN GREEN. He is so awesome it's just his books are beautifully saddening at times. I also recommend 'beautiful disaster' and 'walking disaster' by JAMIE MCGUIRE. Listen also to 'beautiful disaster' by kelly Clarkson it fits the book perfectly.
I assume that'll keep the wait for my next update a lot more bearable.
Stay safe Filipinos and maligayang Buwan ng Wika!
Percabeth fans happy Anniversary to Percabeth. Happy Anniversary to the battle of Manhattan and to those where it's still August 18, happy Birthday Percy!
Please review on the way out. You'll get blue sour strips/sour candy bacon.
