So basically, I edited quite a lot of the last chapter so if you want, you can check it out again.
Also, I live in Southeast Asia and my country follows the british system so like o' levels and a'levels and secondary schools and stuff, so I have no idea how American schooling system works so correct me if I'm wrong.
And one of the reviews said that I should lengthen my chapters and I will in later chapters but it will still be quite short cuz both sides haven't met yet, and I want to separate POVs right now. Next chapter will definitely be much longer.
Again, disclaimer: I do not own any of the series.

Percy didn't know what Annabeth was talking about, she had always been way smarter than he was but what he did know was that Annabeth looked really cute that day.
Her nose was wrinking in that really cute way of hers and her eyes were sparkling from whatever she was talking about -- must be something about architecture, and there were a few stray strands of blonde hair in her face which Percy really wanted to brush away.
He was about to reach out for those strands of blonde hair when Annabeth glared at him.
"Are you even listening, seaweed brain?" She huffed.
"Of course I am, not my fault you look so cute, you distracted meeee--" Percy whined, giving her a cheeky smile.
Annabeth rolled her eyes, giving him a fond look.
"I was just saying, a new museum opened in Brooklyn, can we please go? Please? And the architecture of that place is bound to be amazing, I heard it was based off one of Frank Lloyd Wright's unfinished pieces of work-- he is one of the greatest architects of all time, I have to see it and the museum is about mythology and--"
"Okay okay, we will go."
Percy didn't particularly like museums much, they tend to be boring but when Annabeth goes into one of her rants, it means she really wants to go.
Percy can't possibly deny her that, the look of happiness on her face was so rare ever since...Tartarus.
He shuddered at the thought of that gods awful place. He cleared his mind, trying to focus on Annabeth and not on the traumatic memories of that place.
Percy would give anything to make Annabeth happy, if going to a boring old museum makes her happy, he will glay bring her there.
"Where are we going again?" A familiar voice came behind them.
Leo was standing behind them, grinning with his arm around Calypso's shoulder.
Annabeth rolled her eyes at Leo, but said fondly, " Fine, you guys can come too."
Leo had just came back from being, well... dead, so Percy knew Annabeth was still sore and a bit hung up about Leo's death, and to be honest, he too felt that way. He couldn't blame Annabeth for wanting to spend some time with Leo as well. Plus, he wanted to make it up to Calypso.
"Great! Callie has never been to a museum before and you said that this one has mythology in it, right?"
They then started to discuss details and well, Percy didn't really pay much attention to it and he could tell Leo was zoning out a little too. He just knew that Annabeth and Calypso would be able to handle it just fine.
Percy followed Annabeth with Leo and Calypso behind him up the sidewalk. A huge tower-dome-looking thingy appeared down the street and Annabeth seemed to walk even faster, her eyes starting to light up in excitement.
They soon arrived outside the museum. Annabeth looked up at the building with awe in her eyes as they waited for Leo and Calypso to catch up.
"I can't believe I'm finally here! The dimensions for the top part of the tower is extraordinary and..."
Percy had no idea what Annabeth was talking about again, although he did try to listen since she looked so excited, but after she started rattling off numbers, Percy gave up.
Luckily, Leo and Calypso finally reached them, cutting off Annabeth's ramble.
They were walking into the museum when a loud honk sounded behind them. Percy turned around to see a large bus pulling up and students of high school age filing out of the bus.
"I can't believe these students get to come here on a field trip, I never got to..." Annabeth huffed.
"I'm pretty sure we were a bit too busy saving the world to go on school field trips, wise girl," Percy teased Annabeth, making her huff and roll her eyes at him.
"Yea, saving the world is a full-time job, man!" Leo gave Annabeth a playful shove, causing Annabeth to glare at him which made Leo take a step back.
The demigods (and Calypso) made their way into the museum with a large crowd of high schoolers walking in behind them noisily.
Percy looked at the students behind him and wondered how life would be like if he had a normal life. Would he and Annabeth still have met or even be together? He hoped so, but if he didn't, then maybe he would've rather be a demigod as awful as that sounds.
But still, these students must have such normal, uneventful lives- the most interesting thing to them was probably the latest gossip and their biggest worry was maybe exams, not something as stressful as saving the world or anything.
Yes, Percy, they lead such normal, uneventful lives *cough*
I know its so short but next chapter will be much longer, I honestly should have combined this chapter with the first chapter but its well, a bit too late for that. I'm gonna try updating by the next two days, I know I was super late on this one, I'm so sorry.
See ya!
