''psst…Annabeth get up, it's time to get ready for are dreaded classes.'' I bolted up slamming my head into something hard. ''ahh Annabeth jeze it's just me!'' '' dam you have a hard skull.'' I moaned while opening my eyes to see Thalia hovering above me.

'' what time is it?'' I asked. ''well its 8:30. '' Answered a voice by the door. I looked over and saw a beautiful girl standing there. She had her dark brown hair pulled into a braid over her shoulder with a feather intertwined with the braid. She had gorgeous eyes that seemed to be like kaleidoscopes changing to every beautiful color in existence. She had great cheek bones and by the look of it she was Cherokee. She was wearing a pair of blue pre ripped skinny jeans, a pink flowing tank top, and white wedges. To add onto her outfit she had bangles and pink dangling earrings. (Outfit on my profile)

''Well Annie –'' ''don't call me Annie!'' ''- meet my personal alarm clock, Piper Mclean. Piper is here for playing the bass guitar and acting.'' '' oh well it's nice to meet you piper but I have to get in the shower if I don't want to be late.''

I walked down the hallway to school with Thalia and Piper. After I got out of the shower I dressed in a grey tank top, jean shorts, and black flip-flops. I also had bangles on with a pair of dangling black earrings. (Outfit on my profile)

I looked over to Thalia and saw she was wearing a outfit that completely went with her personality. She had on black combat boots, ripped black skinny jeans, and a black leather jacket.(outfit on my profile)

'' so were going to social studies with Mr. Swallie- the-great and don't call him anything else!'' we walked up to a mahogany door and entered inside. '' alright those are the nerds, the want to be's, the jocks, the ones who get picked on which my friends and I try to stop, sadly the Barbie's, and the populars. We sit with the populars but were not self-centered jerks. We try to help everybody possible and try to make everybody feel like there part of something.'' What if there like the populars at my old school? They might hate me and then I will feel left out like usual.

We walked up to a group of good looking teens. There was a fellow who was dressed in all black and looked like he was Thalias other half, there was a cute girl who looked a little younger but I guess she wasn't who had cinnamon colored hair with warm gold eyes, a cuddly panda looking man, a blond superman, a Latino looking elf who looks like he would set anything on fire if he had the chance too, and a stunning boy who made my jaw drop completely. He had stunning green eyes that you could get lost in. he had raven hair that hung right below his eyes making me want to run my hands threw them. OMG IS THAT A 6 PACK! Calm yourself Annabeth, calm.

''hey Thalia who's this?!'' asked one of the girls. ''this is my new roommate Annie!'' ''don't call me Annie!'' '' fine, meet Annabeth. Happy now?'' ''very!'' I totally forgot about the others who were watching are argument like it's a tennis match.

''well it's nice to meet you Annabeth. I'm Leo smoking Valdez, if you're lucky I will let you join my fan club. Now I'll pick you up at 8 for our date alright.'' I laughed and said ''in your dreams!'' He pouted but his sadness didn't reach his eyes.

''face it Leo, not all da lady love you.'' Joked one of the guys. '' well since that's over I'm hazel, that's Nico my brother; Thalias boyfriend, that's my boyfriend frank, that goof ball is Percy, and that's Jason pipers boyfriend; Thalias brother.'' She said pointing out everybody.

''its nice to meet you all.'' I said and sat down while the teacher entered the room. '' we have a new classmate and I would like her to come up and introduce herself please.'' Said the teacher.

I walked up to the front of the room and looked around. There were girls glaring at me (my guess because I was sitting with the populars) and boys staring at me making me feel uncomfortable. '' um hey. My names Annabeth chase and I moved here from San Francisco, California.'' I stated and walked back to my seat by Thalia.

Next I had music with Mr. Apollo. My new friends and I walked into the classroom and may I say that the room was huge. It was filled with every instrument possible. But there in the middle off the stage was a magnificent looking grand piano that was just calling my name to play. No Annabeth, nobody needs to know, just remember mom. Just remembering her I was sent into a flashback.

''mommy, mommy, please I want to go play the piano! Please!'' '' not now Annabeth.'' Of course I being the immature little girl I was ran across the street to play the piano that was just beckoning me forward. As I ran I didn't notice the huge semi coming towards me. I turned around hearing my mother screaming my name and froze like a deer caught in front of headlights. The semi slammed on his brakes but the tires slid on a patch of black ice. As the semi closed in on me I felt myself get shoved out of the way of the semi. The last thing I heard before passing out from the pain in my head were I hit the ground was my mother's ear splitting scream.

''ANNABETH! COME ON! ANNABETH!'' I heard Thalia screaming my name with fear evident in her voice. I opend my eyes to see Thalia and my new friends hovering over me. I killed her. My own mother, if I wasn't that stupid she would still be here with me now! I got up and shoved my ways out of the classroom running down the hall to who knows where.

I stopped outside an empty room and walked inside. There was a huge stage and tons of chairs. By the look of it, it was a stage they use for performances. I walked around the room and deiced to plop my butt up on the stage. I looked around but noticed something. There on the stage was another grand piano.

I need to get over this fear. It's not my fault. Don't listen to the voices of you step mom or dad. Listen to your own thoughts everybody said it wasn't my fault, but it's still hard to believe it. JUST GO TO THE FLIPPING PIANO AND PLAY! MOM WOULD WANT YOU TO PLAY! SHE ALWAYS TOLD ME TO NEVER GIVE UP, DO IT FOR HER!

I stood up and walked over to the piano and sat down on the bench. My hands were shaking as I placed them on the keys. I put my hands down and tried to play but I couldn't. '' I-I can't!''I screamed out to no one.

''what can't you do?'' asked a masculine voice. I turned around to see Percy at the door. ''n-nothing" I stuttered out. He walks up to me and sits down on the bench. ''what's wrong and don't lie Annabeth." "My mom that's what's wrong! I can't get over her death! I feel guilty, about everything! I try to play but the guilt holds me back every time!'' I cry out to him while slamming my head down on the piano.

'' Annabeth, I may not have known you long but I know you're a fighter. Just try, you can accomplish anything as long as you put your mind to it. Whatever is stopping you, you need to fight over it and come to the terms that what has happened has happened. Your mom will always be in your heart. Do what you want.'' Percy said. He's right I have to come to terms that she's gone and I know she would want me to play. ''okay. Thank you Percy really it means a lot.'' As I hugged him which surprised Him and I both. I pulled away blushing and looking down.

'' we should probably get back to music everybody's looking for you.'' I nod and stand up. We walked out of the classroom.

I don't know what just happened but I do know that Percy is somebody I can trust. It feels like I have known him all my life even though I have just met him like 3 hours ago. I can't wait for the rest of the year. But first I need to handle what is about to go down when I get back in class.
