Chapter 2 – Dam! I spoke too soon!

~2 days before at Camp Half-Blood~

Annabeth's POV

Beep, Beep, Beep.

I groaned. I didn't want to wake up. I just wanted to lie there and…..whoa! I shot up and looked at my clock. 7:30am.

Dam it! I thought Annabeth Chase you are really getting lazy!

Ok so many of you might think that 7:30 was too early for an average person. But I'm not your average person. I'm Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena. And today I'm finally going to my dad's in New York to stay there for the scholastic year. Yipee!

I silently got out of bed, not wanting to wake my cabin mates. Then I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, did my hair, put on some clothes, got my luggage and went out.

I went to the Big House where I found Chiron and Mr.D playing chess. And apparently Mr.D was losing because he had less pieces of his color! Not a good sign. Last time he lost, the events after it were not pretty. Enough said.

When Chiron saw me he smiled and said "Ready to go Annabeth?"

"Yeah definitely." I said with a smile. The I looked around, searching for a certain someone. "Is Thalia inside?"

"Uhhh…no. I think she's still asleep," he said, a bit confused.

I sighed, put my luggage inside and went to the Zeus' cabin.

Thalia's POV

"Thalia..Wake Up dam it!" We have to go."

I was woken up by a really loud knocking and some yelling from outside. If it where anyone else, I would have shocked them away. But I recognized the voice to be Annabeth.

Why was Annabeth already awak?" I thought as I looked at my clock. 7:40.

My eyes widened. "Oh Shit." I sad over and over again. I went to let Annabeth in and she did NOT look happy with my late waking.

"Uhh…morning." I said with a smile, trying to not make her any angrier.

She rolled her eyes, sighed and entered my cabin. I sighed out of relief. She wasn't very mad at me. And so she helped me pack. While she packed my stuff, I went to change, brush my teeth, did my hair….the usual morning routine.

When I came out, Annabeth had already 2 bags at her feet. I just stood there, jaw dropped. Dam that girl's fast.

Annabeth and I were going to start a new school in New York. She's staying with her dad and I'm staying with my mum. This is the 1st time I was going to do a whole scholastic year somewhere (whoop-di-do) because I'll have Annabeth with me. When I used to go alone, I used to escape and never go back because the others pick on me and I couldn't make friends. But now with Annabeth, I'll have a friend.

"Uhh…thanks," I said a bit sheepishly.

"C'mon lets go," she said with a slightly annoyed voice. "We have to be on the road by 8:00 and its.." she looked at her watch. "..7:55. Let's Go."

I went over and gave her a hug. She sighed and hugged me back.

"Yes! Got away with it!" I thought. But then.

"Don't think you'll get away with it this easily. Someday, you'll have to do something for me." She said, with a slightly evil grin.

"Dam it! I spoke too soon!" I thought.

And with that, we left for the Big House. But before we went to get something to eat. When we finished we went to the Big House.

When we got there, Chiron bid us farewell and Mr.D said something like "good riddance" which for him is a pretty good goodbye. In front of them was a chess set and apparently, Mr.D was losing. I gulped. It's a good thing we're leaving.

We got inside the Camp van and Argus drove us to New York. At about 9am, we arrived in New York. Annabeth got off first and I told her I'll see her next Monday. I got off, told Argus to take care, he responded with a grunt and I went inside.

When my mum saw me, she ran over and gave me a bear hug.

"Thalia, I've missed you so much," she said.

"Uhh…hi mom." I said a bit confused and she let go. She knew I was coming today. But I guess she was really happy to see me. I saw her 2 year ago in person and a few Iris messages here and there. I didn't visit because since I'm a daughter of Zeus, my scent is the strongest among half-bloods and monsters used to attack really often. But now, since I'm 17, Chiron taught me how to hide my scent better.

Anyways, we went up to my room, only to find it exactly as I left it. Green day posters everywhere. A couple of posters of Billy Joe marked with lipstick here and there. Hey, I was nuts about him!

"Thalia, do you want something to eat?" my mother asked.

"Naaa…we ate at camp. I'll take a nap," I said, yawning a bit.

"Ok sweetie," and with that she started to leave. But before she left, she turned around and said with a smile "Oh and by the way, I bought you a new alarm clock for school so you won't wake up late."

I smiled. "Thanks mum," I said and gave her a hug. Then she left and I slept a bit.

I thought maybe this would be a normal year. But boy, was I wrong!
