*DISCONTINUED* Annabeth Chase is a famous singer who is 16 years old. Becoming a singer has been her lifelong dream and she finally accomplished it 1 year ago. She has been going on tour and living the dream, but now she wants to take a break from h...
I sat up before she could scream more and said, "I'm awake, I'm awake."
"Great. I thought I would have to get some water."
"No no. There's no need for that."
Thalia laughed. "Good." Then she walked to the door before turning back. "We have to be at the airport by 8:00 if you want to make it on time. The flight is at 10:00, and getting through security and everything else will take some time. The airport is packed, so there most likely be fans there."
I forgot! Today, I'm going back to New York to attend school again! I made the announcement yesterday at an interview. I looked at the time. It was 7:00. Only an hour to get ready. Better be quick!
Flashback (Yesterday)
"Let's bring our special guest, Annabeth Chase!" said Hermes Caduceus, the interviewer.
I walked up the steps and sat on a couch opposite to Hermes.
I flashed a big smile at the camera and greeted all my fans.
"Hello, Annabeth. How are you on this sunny California day?"
"I'm doing wonderful. How about you?" I replied.
"You know, just the normal. But I have one question I've been waiting to ask you all day." He said before pausing to see if it was alright with me.
"Ask away."
"I've heard some rumors from many different sources. Is it true that you're quitting your singing career to return to school?
"Not quite. Yes, I plan to continue my studies as a normal teenager surrounded by kids my age. However, I will not be quitting my career, more like taking a break. I'll still be writing new songs though and I might do a few concerts just not as frequent and hopefully, there will be a new album by the end of the school year."
"That's great to hear. I hope you'll have a fun experience and I can't wait to listen to the new songs you're working on." Hermes checked his watch. "I'm afraid our time is up. Until next time."
He shook my hand and said bye to the camera. I did the same and walked backstage to be greeted by Thalia ushering me outside to get in the limo so we could head back to the hotel.
End of Flashback (Present)
I stepped out of the black limousine and stood before the airport doors. Fans were huddled against line dividers trying to get close to me.
Thalia stepped out after me and the driver opened the trunk to hand us our suitcases.
Thalia shook me awake. The plane had stopped moving and people were making their way out. "We're here." she whispered sounding very sleepy.
I rubbed my eyes and stood up. I grabbed our bags and walked out with Thalia trailing me, so I wasn't out of her sight.
Some people asked for autographs but I wasn't surrounded by many of them just trying to touch me.
Thalia dragged me out of the airport muttering words under her breath like, "Gonna be late... he's waiting...ughhh..." and some other words I couldn't hear.
Soon, we were outside and many cars drove past us. I was about to call for a taxi when a white Mercedes SUV pulled up.
A man came out. He had sandy-colored hair and intense brown eyes that shimmered with intelligence, much like mine.
"Dad!" I exclaimed before running to hug him. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too, Annie." he replied embracing her. His voice was just like I remembered, calm and confident. I missed everything about him, his smile, his jokes, especially when he would try to spend as much time with her and her brothers considering that he always had work.
"You ready to come home?" my dad asked. I simply nodded. Thalia went in the car and so did I.
I run out of our car to meet my brothers, Bobby and Matthew.
They were already outside with Helen, my step-mother.
I wrapped the twins in a bear hug and squeezed Helen.
Thalia was already playing tricks on the kids like taking a coin out of their ears or pretending to have broken her thumb in half.
Dad was lugging our suitcases into the house and I took mine out of his hand.
I walked upstairs and opened the door to my bedroom. It was just like how I remembered. The walls were a light gray. There was a shelf filled with books next to her door, paintings on the wall above her gray bed with white and gray throw blankets, a white nightstand, a mirror to one corner of her room, and a desk next to a window with white curtains .

My dad put Thalia's suitcase next to the door and went to the kitchen to make us a snack, while I dropped mine on the floor and lay on the bed.
Thalia came in soon after and we started talking about school tomorrow at Goode High. I couldn't wait to see my friends.
