Before the sun even thinks of rising, a girl with blonde princess curls is cleaning the living room to her slighty large estate. The large pot of coffee she made an hour before was keeping her from passing out with exhaustion. It was already quarter of 7 she had to start cooking now she wouldn't be able to leave before her stepmother woke to give her more hate and random ass chores.

Too late, it was 7:10 and she could hear her stepmother walking down the stairs with a raspy "Annabeth" escaping her lips. Annabeth could already tell that motherdearest was hungover and that her chances of getting to school before 2nd period were diminishing.

She quickly texted her best friend Thalia to get her home work for her first 2 periods because she was going to be late again. But luckily her first period was latin with and her second was English with .

Pouring a big cup of coffee and grabbing the toast that just out of the toaster she headed over to her stepmother. " Here is your breakfeast, Mam.", she said with obvious fear in her voice. Annabeth still wasn't over the cruel things she was sent to bed with. She knew she was wanted and loved but hearing every day that no one would ever care or love you for five years has a toll on even the stgrongest people.

" There you are you stupid girl, I've been sitting here for nearly five minutes waiting for my food.", she chugged down the coffee, " Did you make your brothers thier breakfeast and lunch."

Annabeth nodded " Yes, Mam. They just left for school about ten minutes ago."

" I did not ask for there exact whereabouts." , she snapped back, " Now did you finish your chores, because you know if you didn't you won't be going to school and seeing your goth friend today."

It took all Annabeth's will power not to say something and defend her fiend but, she knew if she did she wouldn't be able to see Thalia for longer. She also knew Thalia wasn't goth she was just...punk. "Yes, Mam. I did. May i go to school now."

Mommy dearest just shook a dismissive hand at her. Annabeth took this as a yes and grabbed her bag heading out into the harsh fall weather. She was heading to school the only peaceful place she could think of, well after the library of course.
