Chapter 1: New Job
Annabeth's POV
"I need a job," were the first words I said as I came into Thalia's apartment.
Thalia and I go way back, since first grade. I remember accidentally pushing Thalia to the ground when my bully, Ethan, pushed me. She was mad until she realized I was being bullied, that's when she defended me. Since then, we became best friends. We basically did everything together since elementary, to high school. We always teased each other and goofed around.
Thalia was a punk-looking girl who always wore black. She was one of those people who would just stand out. She could defend herself, and with a very good heart defend others. She was pretty tall, a few centimeters taller than me, slim, and she had these electrifying blue eyes, they were beautiful. Her eyes would always stand out because of the amount of eyeliner she would put on every day; she tried to encourage me to put some on but I passed.
Me, on the other hand, had almost nothing in common with Thalia. I had a pretty athletic body, I wouldn't call myself neither skinny or fat; I had dull grey eyes, which I hated since they were so plain. Thalia told me that my eyes were beautiful and rare but I think she was just trying to make me feel better, that's how good of a friend she is.
"Oh I've been waiting for this moment! I've got tons of jobs, first order of business, I need an assassin, or a thief can work too," she said in a serious tone.
"No, Thalia. I need a real job, and why do you need a thief!? Much less an assassin!?" I exclaimed in a disturbed-but-humorous tone.
"Oh... forget what I said," she replied disappointed. "What kind of job do you need?"
"Well a typical job I can work at during summer. I don't know. A nanny? A waitress? Well your dad owns practically all the airlines in the world, plus you have tons of contacts; I'm sure you can get me a job... Right?" I questioned.
"You know I hate my dad, but if it's for you... then I guess I can make an exception," she said and gave me a wide grin. I grinned back.
"So you need a job that pays well, but just during summer?" she asked. I nodded.
"Preferably a pretty easy job that I can handle," I said as I sat down in one of the stools of her kitchen.
She had this massive, well-decorated penthouse for herself. The kitchen had a small bar area and a dining room next to it, while her bedroom was huge and the living room had a massive TV. The penthouse, in all, had great architecture and had very beautiful, expensive furniture. See, Thalia's dad, Zeus, was one of the richest men in the world that owned almost all the airlines in the world; but he barely had time for her when she was small so she really didn't like him.
Me on the other hand lived in a small apartment. See, I had lived in an orphanage for 16 years of my life. My mother abandoned me, and my dad didn't want me since he made a new family. So, my mother, being the nice soul that she is, sent me to an orphanage and I never saw her again. When I was 18 I moved out of the orphanage and into a small apartment I bought with my earnings; but I couldn't afford it any longer, so now I need a job since I owe the apartments a lot of money.
"Well I'll see who I can get you okay? Will you bother working at a bar?" she asked.
"If it's as the waitress or bartender no... if it's the showgirl... yes, I would bother. A lot," I admitted smirking.
"Kay, see you later my dad wants to see me in a 'family meeting' Ugh," Thalia groaned.
"Okay, bye Thals!" I said as I got up from the stool and walked towards the door.
Once I got to my apartment building, I got a massive surprise. As I entered my floor and towards my hall two men were removing my furniture.
"Hey!" I yelled at the people who were taking everything out. They only turned to look at me.
"Annabeth," I heard a cold voice say; I turned to see the apartment manager. She was a middle-aged, small, grouchy woman; she was wearing a white shirt with a sweater on top of it, black heels, and some black pants. Along with a bun with so much gel in it it could flood the entire Indian ocean. Horrible style by the way.
"Your renting time has expired, you haven't paid in a month I can't hold you any longer here. I'm sorry, but you have to leave," she declared straightforward in her normal cold, grouchy voice; somewhere in between when a teacher snaps at you, and when a librarian shushes you.
"But I don't have anywhere to go! Please I will pay soon!" I exclaimed hopelessly.
"I'm sorry you haven't paid in a long time. You have to leave. Take her stuff outside boys! Good-bye Annabeth," she said and walked away, her heels clicking a sound you would only hear from a witch. And she is a witch.
I walked outside following the men who were getting my stuff out. One of them gave me a sympathetic 'sorry' and walked away. I sat down next to the sidewalk frustrated and confused. Tears started to run down my cheeks. What was I going to do?
I dialed Thalia.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Thalia, I've just been kicked out of my apartments, I don't have anywhere to go," I said through the sobs.
"Oh Gods, take the spare key to my penthouse, you can stay there until you find a place," she kindly offered
I smiled, "Thanks Thals, I can always count on you."
I wiped away my tears and grabbed my most important objects, then told the men to put everything else next to the dumpster. My furniture was trash anyways, no one wanted it.
"I'm here!" Thalia exclaimed as she entered her apartment. It was 7 PM. "I'm sorry they kicked you out Annabeth," she said sympathetically as she sat down next to me on the couch.
"It's really alright, I hadn't paid the rent I couldn't find a job anywhere; you were my last choice," I admitted as I sat up from the laying position I was in.
"The good news is... I found a job for you!" she screamed enthusiastically.
"Really!?" I exclaimed, clearly excited.
"Yup, and you can stay there, like to sleep," she replied.
"What kind of job is it? Where? When?" I questioned happily.
"It's a maid job, in the Blofis residence, and you can start tomorrow," she said. My smile grew wider.
"That actually sounds great! Thanks Thals your the best!" I exclaimed giving her a big, heart-warming hug.
"I'm not the hugging type but I'll make an exception for you," she admitted and returned the hug.
"Well, what do you want to eat?" I asked as I pulled away from the hug.
"You want some pizza?" she asked. I nodded.
"Sure, Pepperoni please," I replied and changed the TV channel.
"Kay, I'll order it," she said and headed towards the kitchen phone.
Once Thalia and I finished eating we watched a few movies and then went to bed. Honestly, I was really tired after everything that had happened today.
All night I kept thinking of what to expect tomorrow. Where my bosses going to be mean? Were they strict? Nice? I instantly forgot about all those thoughts once my eyes closed. I fell into a deep sleep.
Riiiiiing!
I woke up by the annoying alarm clock I had brought from my apartment. I sat up and walked towards the guest room bathroom. I took a quick shower and then changed into a white tank top with some skinny jeans along with my grey converse.
I walked into the kitchen and made a quick breakfast for both Thalia and I. I quickly ate my breakfast and then left a small note explaining that I had gone to work early.
I walked outside and took a taxi to the address Thalia had given me for my new job. Hopefully this goes well.
As I arrived in the taxi I caught my breath. The house, well mansion, was beautiful and huge. The architecture was amazing. The gardens contained different sections with different types of flowers in them, it had a huge pool in the back that you could easily see. I paid the cab driver, who seemed as stunned as I looked from the view of the house, and made my way toward the door. The gate was opened so I just went in and rang the doorbell.
The door opened, and revealed a man in a very fancy tuxedo-looking suit. He must be the butler, I instantly thought.
"Hello, I'm here for the maid job. I'm Annabeth Chase, my friend Thalia Grace recommended me," I said formally.
"Oh yes, yes! If you would please come in and I'll show you to Mr. Blofis' office," he smiled and opened the door for me to come in.
I gasped as I came in, the entrance hall, was huge; it had two sets of stairs which connected in the top and a hallway that must lead to the bedrooms. The hall also led into two other hallways and a beautiful living room under the stairs.
"Follow me, this way M'am," the butler called and led me towards the left hallway. He stopped in an office door.
He knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Blofis, there is a young woman here by the name of Annabeth Chase who claims the new maid job."
"Let her in please, Henry," a voice in the inside replied and the butler, Henry, opened the door revealing an office-looking room.
I walked into the room, a man was sitting in his desk reading something. He had dark brown hair and hazel-colored eyes. He put the paperwork he was reading down and signaled me to sit down.
"You must be Annabeth," he kindly introduced, smiling. "I'm Paul Blofis, you need the new maid job right?"
"Yes, I do, Sir," I politely replied.
"Great, I will have Mary show you around, she's one of the most experienced maids and now a cook," he announced and then turned towards Henry who was standing next to the door. "Will you please call Mary, Henry?"
"Of course Mr. Blofis, Excuse me," Henry responded and walked out of the office.
"So Annabeth, do you have experience in this?" he asked.
"Yes, I have a bit of experience, about two years ago I worked as a maid for a few months," I replied.
"Why did you stop?" he questioned.
"I needed to continue with school, so I quit and finished high school, to where I got my diploma. I'm planning to go to college in a few years when I have enough money, so I need a job," I answered.
"Well you seem like such an educated young woman, you have the job. Mary will tell you the rules of this place and a few other things," he said giving me a warming smile.
I smiled back, "Thank you so much, Sir, you wont regret this."
"Mr. Blofis, did you call me?" said a light-brown haired lady with dark blue eyes. She was around her thirties but very beautiful for her age.
"Oh yes, Annabeth, this is Mary. Mary, Annabeth. Will you please explain the rules and show her around?" he asked her.
"Of course, Sir, Excuse me. Annabeth, follow me dear," Mary smiled and I followed her saying a polite 'Excuse me' on the way out.
"Okay dear, first things first. The rules, no relationships in between the bosses, staff eat in the kitchen table, and you need to wear your uniform at all times unless your told not to," Mary quickly explained as we walked into the kitchen, which was in the right hallway.
"This is the kitchen, if you need anything you can come and see me here. Follow me dear," she said as she lead me towards the living room. "This is the living room, the door over there leads to the movie room, and the one over there is a restroom"
We walked upstairs and then walked into the left-side hallway. She then started to show me the rooms
"The one over there is the Guest-room," she pointed to a room on the far corner that led to another hallway.
She led me through the hallway showing me who the rooms belonged too.
"That is the main bedroom where Mr. Blofis, and Ms. Blofis sleep in; the one over there is Mr. Blofis' daughter's, Ally's, bedroom; and that one is Mr. Blofis' son, Percy's, bedroom," she explained.
She led me through the whole house and the backyard, which looked amazing. The house, in total, was so beautiful.
"The residents who live here are, Mr. Blofis, Mrs. Blofis, Percy Jackson, Ally Blofis, Baby Tyson Blofis, and Mr. Blofis' nephew, Luke," she explained. "The staff would be me; Henry, the butler, who you already met; Hazel, maid; Katie, maid; Anthony, the driver; George, the gardener; and Juniper, another maid. That's it, your uniform is in the staff bedroom and whatever questions you have look for me in the kitchen, good luck sweetheart."
She gave me a warm smile, I smiled back; and with that she walked off.
I walked upstairs towards the staff bedroom. It was a small bedroom with two bunk beds. It was pretty nice space, it had a bathroom in the far corner. I changed into the uniform which was sitting in the bed with grey covers. I guess that's my bed, I thought. The maid uniform was a simple pink french maid uniform.
I walked out the door and started working. I took some of the dirty clothes in the bedrooms and put them in the washing machine. This place was a really big house, pretty complicated to clean.
I grabbed some of the dirty towels and walked towards the laundry room. As I turned the corner I bumped into something and everything fell out off my hands.
"Oh I'm sorry Katie… Who are you?" a voice said.
I looked up. There was a guy around his 19's or 18's standing there staring at me. He had jet-black, messy hair and the most beautiful sea-green colored eyes I've ever seen. He looked at me curiously.
I ducked down to get the towels and then stood up. He was still staring straight at me.
"I'm Annabeth, the new maid, sorry I bumped into to you. You must be… Mr. Jackson?" I questioned.
He suddenly came back from his trance, "Oh yeah… You don't have to call me Mr. Jackson, just… call me Percy," he said rubbing the back of his neck nervously. Why was he even nervous? I'm just a maid, not the first-lady.
I nodded. "Excuse me," I said and walked off towards the laundry room.
I swear I heard him mumble 'stupid' but I might have been imagining it.
Once I got into the laundry room I removed the soaking-wet clothing from the washing machine and put them over in the dryer. I placed the towels into the washing machine and waited.
I was soon into deep thought, a certain person with sea-green eyes washed over into my thoughts. I couldn't help it but feel some sort of connection to him.
"Who are you?" I heard a voice say. It sounded like a little girl.
I snapped out of my thoughts and spotted a little girl, about five or six, with black hair and hazel eyes. She had her hair in a really messy braid which looked like she did it herself.
"I'm Annabeth, the new maid," I gave her a warm smile and to my surprise, she smiled back.
A/U: Did you guys like it? Hopefully you did! This will be a bit like Opposite's Attract considering the social levels. I know you guys hate being judge by a social level and it is so last year, but let's admit these stories always contain drama in them!
