Me: Wow. It's been a year. So I finally decided that I should probably revisit this horrible fic now.
Fang: So basically, Jade is trying to tell you guys that she's rewriting this typical 'Percy comes to Annabeth's boarding school to pick her up, earning jealous looks and stuff'.
Me: uh... yea. this is really really OOC so... excuse it
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, and this is as if HoO never happened, but my other story did. As to who Mia is, you'll just have to keep checking in on 'I'm Finally Going Crazy' to find out. For now, she's just a really close friend, like Thalia.
Annabeth POV
Last day of school! I think as my phone wakes me from an otherwise perfect, dreamless sleep.
There's this pre-conceived idea that I, being a daughter of Athena, would actually enjoy school somewhat. You're right. Maybe I would, if I wasn't dyslexic, hyper-active, and if the lessons were in ancient Greek. Truth to be told, I couldn't wait for summer to begin.
A nice, quiet summer of camp, hero training, Percy, and no quests.
Screw that, it wouldn't be Camp Half-Blood if it weren't dangerous. But at least Kronos is gone, the Flock is safe, and nobody sees any imminent danger in the immediate future. At least, that's what I think.
Stop that! I chide myself. Today's my last day, Percy will come pick me up, then it's Camp Half-Blood! To Hades with boarding school!
I shower and get ready in record time, which is impressive, since my record is being good to go before my roommates even stir in their sleep. Of course, me getting ready is what wakes them up every morning.
"Shut up, Annabeth. Some of us are trying to appreciate rest!" I smile, that's Emma for you. She's one of my few friends here.
"Annabeth is up; she is waiting for her love; when will he arrive?" Dani's a daughter of Apollo who will be coming to camp a week later, because she wants to visit her mom first.
"Alright, I'm up! No need to torture us with your so-called 'poetry' about Annabeth's boyfriend," Emma sits up. "Speaking of which, you still have to prove to us that he's real."
"Hmm?" I ask.
"Because," Dani says. She came to camp last November, when I went to check on Olympus. She has also yet to meet Percy. "He seems too perfect to be your boyfriend."
Dani and Emma look at each other and say in unison, with air quotes, "With his 'wind-tousled dark hair, and sea green eyes'."
"I don't need to prove anything."
"Whatever," Emma gets up and walks out the door in her pajamas, "I'm off to see Eric." Eric is Emma's boyfriend.
I turn to face Dani. Now that Emma's gone, I say, "You don't think Percy's real? You've heard people talk about him at camp."
"Oh, I know he's real. I just don't think he's your boyfriend."
I glare at her. "You think whatever you want."
"Alright~" Dani says with a weird smile on her face. "He'd better be here to pick you up today."
"Just don't expect him to be on time."

I was enjoying one of the few good things in life, namely a muffin for breakfast when I hear a voice say, "Hey there, darling."
I groan mentally. It was Dylan, the school jock who makes a reputation of breaking girls' hearts. Sure enough, said monster slides onto the cafeteria bench next to me.
See, Dylan and his gang think of me as a game. I never accept any requests to hang out or to go see a movie, or whatever. They think I'm playing 'hard to get'. I know they're annoying morons.
Anyways, they're trying to outdo each other by seeing who can get me on a date first.
"So, I was thinking that, like, since it's the last day of school, that, like, you would drop the act and catch a movie with me?"
"And I was thinking that, like, you're an idiot, and I have, like, a boyfriend."
Dylan scoffs, "Come on, Annie bell. You know you want me."
"I think not. And it's Annabeth."
And with that, I walk away, leaving the jerk dumbfounded.
As I was walking down the hall to my first class I hear a hiss, "There she is!"
Then Minotaur horns tipped hand reaches out and grabs me by my collar. I sigh as the hand struggles to drag me into the girls' bathroom.
Not again. "Maya, let go of me. I told you already, I'm not trying to steal Dylan from you! And I already have a boyfriend," I grit my teeth so I won't lash and take her eye out.
Maya is the head cheerleader, who has had a major crush on le monstre since freshman year. She thinks that I'm what's keeping them from getting together. I guess she just doesn't get that guys don't like girls who throw themselves at them.
"Listen here, blondie. Dylan is mine. I saw you two at the cafeteria this morning, and you just couldn't keep your paws off him."
I roll my eyes. Is that the best she could come up with? "You listen, vlacas. I'm gonna put with you and your wannabe boyfriend one last day, and then I'm never seeing you again. So say all you want." I start walking away.
Maya narrows her eyes at me. "I'm not done with you yet."
"Braccas meas vescimini!" I toss over my shoulder.
That was fun, I think as I walk away from a totally confused Maya. If only my whole day could go like that. Pfff. I wish. My life will never be that easy.
Biology passes like a breeze. Our teacher didn't realize that we would have classes on the last day of school. Which we really shouldn't. Anyways, he didn't have anything planned for us to do, so we just got the whole block to hang out and mingle.
Well, the rest of the class was hanging and mingling.
I, on the other hand, was sketching renovation designs for Athena's temple on Olympus. Of course, I had saved the best for last. I was thinking of making it a modern version of the Parthenon. Still with ionic columns and all that, but made of iridescent or translucent glass. And the calculations for the statue had to be just perfect, too. The weight of the whole original statue rests on the shield, but it would prove to be a slight difficulty concerning the-
"Hey, babe."
I groan and slap my palm to my forehead. "Shut up and walk away."
"I was thinking that-"
"Goodbye~"
As I walk away, I hear multiple shouts of "Oh daayum," and "Ooooh, you just got burned."
I smile a small smile to myself and almost skip to my next class.
