CHAPTER 2:
Annabeth's POV:
Early in the morning, everyone was ready. I was obviously the first one up, as usual. I was beyond excited and couldn't wait. I actually attempted to style my hair, which of course failed, so I just left it in a ponytail.
It was 8:00 am, Argus would be here at 9:00.
At first, we tried to figure out our living arrangements. I mean, where would 12 demigods live in such short notice? Of course, the gods came to the rescue. Turns out, they were already planning a similar situation for us to go to high school, and had previously designed and built a house for us.
By 9:30, the whole gang was on the bus and on our way to our home for the next school year. Everyone was chatting, but I silently sat by myself, staring out the window.
The gang included Clarisse, Chris, Travis and Connor Stoll, Grover, Thalia, Nico, Jason, Piper and Leo. It was a huge group.
Around a couple hours later, we arrived at our destination. Everyone, and I mean, everyone was gobsmacked.
The house was probably the biggest mansion we've ever seen. It was definitely a good architectural model. Its probably because Athena would know that I wouldn't live in a place with horrible architecture. It had at least 6 floors, and a gigantic back yard and front yard.
When we all came back to our senses, we made our way to the front porch. There was an attached note:
Dear demigods,
It has come to our attention that you need a regular, mortal high school experience. We have done our best to make you feel at home, as a reward for the countless things that you have done to help Olympus.
You each have one room, designed by your godly parent. The whole house has been made with efforts of all Olympian and other gods.
Best Regards,
The Olympians
I felt honored, to have our house designed by the gods. I couldn't believe we would be living here. We all went in explored. About every minute, we'd hear a: OH MY GODS THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!
It took us a full half an hour to just see the first floor, which had an indoor pool, a theatre room, a garden (for Katie mainly), a public library (for me) and others.
After we explored the whole house, it was already early afternoon. To go over it, this is how the house was.
First floor was a miscellaneous floor, with a pool, garden, library, cinema, golf course, washing room, trampoline park and other stuff like that. The second floor was the training room. Of course us demigods needed enough training to stay fit and be able to kill monsters. The third floor was the armory, where Ares supplied us with high quality weapons. The fourth was our rooms. The fifth was the dining room and kitchen, where we could have any food we wanted. The sixth was the shrines and the computer labs and the arcade. The seventh and final was the rooftop. The house also had a basement, where 14 cars stood. All 13 for all 13 demigods and Grover.
We decided to leave our personal rooms for last, because the gods had said there were surprises and built by our own parents.
We all separated. My room was covered by a grey door, with white letters: ANNABETH. The minute I entered the room, my jaw dropped.
It was my dream room. It had grey and white walls. The walls were decked with books. I had a gigantic desk, perfect for studying. My bed was grey. On my bedpost, there was a letter. Along with that, an engravement of an owl. My mother's patron animal.
I gingerly took the letter and read it.
Dearest Annabeth,
I hope you love your room. I designed it to fit you. How'd you like the architecture? I designed it. You have done so much for Olympus, along with that Sea-spawn. I wanted to reward you. I didn't approve of him at the start, but it seems that you two are very compatible.
As a gift, I grant your relationship. I apologize for a lack of my mothering skills, you truly are the bravest and most intelligent child of Athena.
Athena
My eyes watered up, Athena had written that. I put the letter in my bottom drawer. The rest of the day passed uneventfully. School would start the next day, so all we did was relax and prepare ourselves.
By dinner, everyone was in a frenzy.
"Guys, I just received an Iris Message from Calypso! She's coming to Goode with us!" Leo immediately said when he stepped into the dining room. I clenched my jaw, Percy had told me about him and Calypso. How she loved him. I only hoped that her love was forgotten, because I did not want to compete for Percy's love. This was not The Bachelor. (A/N TV SHOW REFERENCE!)
But then again, Leo did like Calypso. And its possible that she would reciprocate his feelings.
I felt good for Leo, he wasn't going to be the 'odd man out' anymore, or so he calls himself.
When I went to bed that night, I couldn't help but think about Percy's reaction. It's so good that I'll be seeing my Seaweed Brain again.
A/N Hey guys. Another Perciless chapter. So sorry! I promise next chapter there will be! I will probably be updating very often on this story. So please follow! Thanks for the reviews I got. I decided to add Caleo. Calypso223 THERE YOU GOOOOOOO! :)
