Chapter 1
All that she had ever dreamed of.. was right in front of her.
College.
A word so strange but so familiar… Her child hood dream. To go to one of the best Colleges in the United States and become one of the greatest architects.
To build something permanent… something that would last for years so that generation after generation could appreciate it.
Annabeth Chase, standing in front of Columbia University in New York, with her head held high strode into the gates of the university with her hand clasped warmly yet reassuringly around her boyfriends. Percy Jackson.
The Percy Jackson. Who saved the world numerous times, along with her help- well he couldn't have had saved it alone, could have had he now?- but the mortals didn't have a clue about it, because of the Mist. As much as it saved it from exposing the godly world to mortals which saved up a lot of explaining, Annabeth sometimes hated it.
Back to the topic now… As Annabeth strode into the university along with Percy- who got in with a sports scholarship and wanted to study oceanography so that he could join the Navy later- she could imagine her college life come across her eyes..
Acing every test, coming first in class, helping Percy in his studies, graduating with honours and getting a job at one of the best firms in upstate NYC and making her mom Athena, the goddess of wisdom proud. Just the usual.
She went into the Admissions office and collected all her information which included her dorm information, her new keys and some information about her new roommate - who was a demigod, Chiron made sure of that.
Being a freshmen it was compulsory for them to stay in the campus, and it turns out she and Percy were in the same dorm hall, at the same floor, just 5 doors away at Furnald hall, one of the best at its make.
As they walked to their dorm hall, they started to decide what they will do for the day and finally they concluded that they would finish unpacking and settling down in 2 hours and they will go to the activities fair and grab a bite to eat later.
After they bid each other goodbye, Annabeth found her way to her door and stood outside, thinking how her roommate will be like, thinking whose god's daughter is she, do they even know each other, have they ever shared any activities at camp….. such question were running through her brain at top speed. Finally she called quits, calmed herself down a bit and inserted the key she got into the key hole and braced herself, to know who was standing behind the door, someone she could be best friends with or someone she had to put up with for the next 3 years of her college life.
As she opened the door, she prayed to all the gods that she knew, even Hera, that it was not anyone for a certain cabin she despised going to the most. When Annabeth finally opened to the door, she couldn't believe her eyes and she thought she would go into a perpetual shock mode after the things she saw.
