Yes guys, this Louise currently speaking. Yeah, yeah, here's chapter two of NEW LIFE. Also please forgive my errors. I'm writing this thing when I'm so freaking frantic right now. Also, bouncing with energy RIGHT now. And also, its night here.

Also if you read the first chapter, you'd know me and Mari DO NOT own ANY OF THE CHARACTERS THAT YOU MIGHT FAMILIARIZE WITH PERCY JACKSON. (Present OCS excluded.)

Anemone woke up to the sound of her alarm clock ringing. She groaned, not wanting to get up. The clock did not stop until Anemone slammed her hand so clumsily that it fell from the desk beside her bed. She sat up, kicking the covers, yawning and looking through the window. It was still dark outside, but she knew she had to get up. She stretched before unsteadily standing up, causing her to crash against her desk.

"Oh dear," she murmured, picking herself up.

-TIME BREAK-

Anemone rushed down the stairs about five minutes after the desk incident. She bolted to a stop at the bottom of the steps just to be knocked out (again) this time by her dogs Jenny and Erin. Both were large but cute, but Erin is a husky while Jenny is Golden Retriever.

"What's up, guys?" She asked them, standing up, petting the dogs. Walking towards the kitchen, she asked them. "Hungry? Let's eat."

-TIME BREAK-

"Here's your bacon and eggs." Anemone's mom said as she laid the plate of Anemone's favorite breakfast on the table. "Thanks a lot, mom." Anemone gushed as she dug her fork in the food.

After finishing her breakfast, she stood up and grabbed their dog plates and gave them their favorite snacks. She watched as her dogs ate up their food. Erin finished hers first, and now she whimpered for Anemone to give her water. Anemone chuckled before pouring water in her food plate. Satisfied as she finished her water, Erin ran for the doggie door her mom had built so that the dogs could go out and in of the house anytime they wanted. Jenny soon followed.

Anemone could hear the howls and the barks of her dogs as they played in the garden. Since their house was at the dead end of the street and they don't have much neighbors, she had no problem with her dog's noise. Nor did her mom.

She got up from her seat on the table, grabbing the plates off of the table and putting them in the sink. Then she sighed and climbed up to her room to get ready for school.

-TIME BREAK-

A few minutes after Anemone finished, a voice called out from outside their gate. "School service!"

She frantically dashed through the house, bumping and crashing as she arrived by the door in the nick of time to find her mom standing there impatiently, holding out her bags. "Thanks mom. Love you, bye!' Anemone rushed out of her house. "Good luck on your test!" her mom called after her as Anemone boarded the van.

Giving her bags to Jason, who neatly stacked in the back of the van, she went to her usual spot by the window, huffing as someone was already sitting there. "Excuse me, that's my seat," Anemone tapped him on the shoulder blankly as the boy about two years older than her age faced her. "Well, this seat is already taken. Go find somewhere else to sit," the boy snapped at her.

Anemone scowled before taking the seat in front of him. At least I'm still beside the window, she thought as she hooked her earphones in her I-pod and played a random song before slowly opening her duffle bag and took out her book. Opening it to the page she had previously marked it from the day before, she began to read.

It wasn't long before the three kids from yesterday boarded again. Anemone made space for them before noticing a a shock of messy and raven black hair suddenly appeared from the driver's seat and gave a thumbs-up at Jason, before Jason's mouth quirked upwards, giving the driver a thumbs-up.

Anemone watched as Jason sat beside her in the front before she tapped Jason on the shoulder "Uh, sir-"

"Call me Jason."

"Ermm, alright, Jason then. Who's the new driver?"

"Oh, him? That's Percy," Jason said blankly. Anemone's eyes fell to her book. Wasn't there a Percy AND a Jason Grace in her book? She hoped it wasn't Percy Jackson, oh please, don't let it be Percy Jackson-

"Did someone say my name?" The driver turned around and Anemone, even if she wasn't the girl who had a crush on, barely managed NOT to fangirl and die right there.

He was much more, as Emma would put it, HOTTER than he was described in the books. He had mesmerizing sea-green eyes, a timeless and unblemished face, tan skin and he had windswept raven black hair. Anemone almost drooled, and also all of the girls in the van were staring at them, except for the three high-schoolers who were staring at Percy like a he was a cute show dog.

"Anemone Dixon." Anemone managed a friendly smile but otherwise a stoic face as she extended her hand.

With one hand on the wheel, Percy managed not to crash the car as he shook Anemone's hand. "Percy Jackson," he grinned before he dropped his hand and turned his attention on the road, turning at the right street.

Anemone blinked before a horrible thought came to her. Did I seriously hold onto his hand?

Shaking her head from Percy's masculine charm and thoughts, she settled back to her books. She frowned at it, stroking the spine thoughtfully.

Anemone chuckled randomly, remembering snips of her conversation with Emma before smiling a bit sad. She and Emma were on different vans by the morning; the same van by the trip home.

She stared out of the window, frowning as she put her book back in her duffel bag and put her forgotten earphones and I-pod inside.

As the van pulled inside the enormous academy, Anemone was still staring outside, thinking deeply.

Her fingers were tapping, as random thought flew in her head.

Everything was still looked like the same. But why did was she freaked out by her new driver, her new fetcher, the three new high-schoolers and the new moody kid behind her?

"No one Ever Wonders why New Things Follow Everyday," she murmured, as she stood up with the students, filing out of the van. Anemone sighed, before stepping out of the van, sunlight blinding her.

Time to face the world. She thought, walking up the academy's large and beautiful gates

WHOOOOOO!
