After Piper and Annabeth left, the new video successfully on YouTube, Percy, Thalia, and Nico were forced to get ready for school the next day.

"Ugh! I don't want to do this!" Thalia complained.

"You don't want to do this? I don't want to do this." Nico agreed.

"Why do we need to go to school in the first place. With the amount if money we have, we could never work for the rest of our lives and still be able to make a good living and pay for our kid's to go to college." Percy whined.

"Yeah. But at least Piper goes, right?" Thalia asked.

The two boys nodded. "At least."

Boy, did they not know what was going to happen that day.


"Okay, class." Mrs. Parks said once the bel rang and everyone was present. "We have a special announcement! How many people here have heard of The Big Three?"

Many girls started talking about how the lead was "so hot" and all of that nonsense. The boys nodded their heads.

Piper smirked. "Yeah. They're really nice and sound so much better in their private sound booth in their house then they do on my phone."

People stopped talking and stared at her, eyes wide.

"What?" Annabeth asked innocently, joining in on the fun. "We know them. We've been to their house before."

People taped, jaws dropped.

"Darn right, you know us!" Percy exclaimed as he walked into the classroom. "Nice to see you again, Piper. Annabeth." He nodded to the girls in turn.

"It's Percy Jackson! No way!" People whispered. Piper stood up.

"Hey, Percy! How's it going? Write any new songs?" She asked.

Percy nodded. "Yes, actually. We're gonna play it here." He muttered the last part so that only Piper could hear her.

Piper grinned. That'll make the girls here flip. Do it!"

Percy smirked.

Then Thalia entered the room.

"Hey Piper! It's been, like, a whole day! Twenty four hours! Doesn't it feel like so much longer?" She asked, grinning.

Then it was Nico's turn. Everyone was whispering as Piper walked up and first bumped him. Annabeth got up and hugged Thalia too. It looked a little forced for the TB3 member, but she went with it no less.

"Okay!" Mrs. Parks "You didn't let me finish." She turned to Percy, Nico, and Thalia. "Their parents have made them go to school. And, weirdly enough, they will be going to this school. In this class. Now, without further ado, I present to you, TB3!"

"Dramatic, huh?" Piper whispered to Thalia. Thalia chuckled. "Still not as bad as some people we've talked with."

"Good luck." Then Piper and Annabeth sat down.


"Okay. We'll be singing a new song. You are the first people lucky enough to hear it, so please tell us what you think. Come on, let's get started."

They started talking and whispering. In about five minutes, Percy and Thalia had guitars, Nico had portable drums, and Percy was situated at the mike.

"This song is called Centuries."


(Bold is Percy, italics are Nico and Thalia)

"Some legends are told

Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries

Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah

Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams

No, it's nothing wrong with me

The kids are all wrong

The stories are off

Heavy metal broke my heart

Come on, come on and let me in

The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints

And this is for tonight

I thought that you would feel
I never meant for you to fix yourself

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah
Remember me for centuries

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there is a light
My shadow's over you 'cause I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah
Remember me for centuries

We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah
We'll go down in history hey yeah
Remember me for centuries"

(Centuries by Fall Out Boy)


People were clapping. Girls were staring. Boys were grinning at Thalia. And Piper and Annabeth were smiling. Percy was out of breath.

"Good job, guys. Now, can you please put those instruments away and sit down with the class? The seats there" Mrs. Parks pointed to the three empty seats in front of Piper and Annabeth. "Will do. Thank you."

Percy flashed her a charming smile and set the guitar to the side. Thalia did the same. Nico was working on his drums, moving as fast as lightning and still managing to be neat. They had had to to that over and over and over again. It wasn't that surprising, Piper realised.

Then Percy, Nico, and Thalia were sitting in front if her, pencils out, ready to take notes. Piper raised her eyebrows.

This was going to be one hectic school year.
