   A knock on her door pulled her off from her dreams.

Damn... at the best part...

She dreamed about Jason just like every night. She turned over and placed her pillow over her head, momentaly forgetting the day's importance.

"Evelin, wake up. We are supposed to be in the project room in half an hour! Don't ignore me!" Anabeth knocked at the door with annoyance.

Evelin's eyes opened forcefully and she stood up immediately with her heart racing. She opened the door and Anabeth got in.

"You're still not ready? You sure love to sleep a lot!"

"It's not my fault. You and Beck are killing me everyday and it's the first day off I have! "

"Yeah, yeah, get dressed. .. we'll get late."

"What should I wear? What am i saying! There is no reason for me to worry over clothing..."Evelin gulped and looked at her wardrobe.

"Evelin... I know it's hard for you but... try and concentrate on something else, okay? Like our clubbing tomorrow. "She suggested and rubbed her back.

She took a deep breath and wore simple clothes getting her inspiration from Anabeth. She decided it would be fun to imitate her clothing style so she wore black jeans and a dark blue blouse. In addition she put black make-up pencil in her eyes to give strength in her look.

"I wanna see Beck's face when he'll see you." Anabeth laught as they walked down the corridor.

Anabeth was no emo asmany would guess from her painted blue eyes and hair and her tatoos. It's just that she enjoyed that look.  In fact she was the exact opposite from emo; always cheerful and full of energy.

"I think I drunk too much coffee this morning.... is it my imagination or am I seeing too Anabeths?" Beck asked James while rubbing his eyes. "Evelin please tell me you didn't decided to become a second Anabeth! I don't think my body can take anymore punches... ow! "Anabeth punched his arm.

"No." Evelin laught. "It's just for today."

"Thank God. It doesn't suit you really..." James said. "It darkens you too much."

"Wow thanks!" She said ironically.

"No problem. Now shall we go on? "He laught.

"Sure. "

The project room was twice the size of the library and the exercise room together and hundreds of people had already found their seats. A big stage was placed in the front. Evelin noticed her mother in the front row, waving her hand gesturing towards the four empty chairs besides her and Steven. Next to Steven Evelin recognized the man who was sitting next to her during the council meeting, the one with the black hair and green eyes. They moved towards them and Anabeth suddenly became stiff.

She sat next to her mum and Beck sat next to her. James sat between Beck and Anabeth, who was sitting at the last seat in the row.

"Hey sweety, good morning!" Her mum gave Beck, James and Anabeth a good morning and they nodded towards her smiling.

"Evelin, I would like to introduce you to my dear friend Timothy here. "Steven gestured towards the man next to him.

"But you can all me Tim." He smiled and gave her his hand.

"Yeah, I remember you. You stopped me from attacking that Minerva- granny in the meeting. Thanks for that." She shook his hand.

"Anytime. I see you're already friends with my daughter. "He pointed towards Anabeth who clenched her teeth and folded her arms on her chest.
