Sophie's pov

The next morning there was waffles, syrup and orange juice all set up for breakfast. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, going down the stairs without bothering to comb my hair first.

"Morning Sophie!" Sally called out from the kitchen, the smell of blueberry pancakes filled the living room.
"Mworwming" Percy said, his mouth full of pancakes.
"Morning Soph, how're you feeling right now?" Annabeth asks, getting up from her seat beside Percy and walking towards me; already dressed.
"tired" I yawned.
"Well, I hope you're feeling better and ready to eat because Sally's pancakes are spot on." Annabeth said, shoving a piece of syrup drowned pancake into my mouth.

-time skip to after breakfast-

I got dressed and took the suitcase packed with my stuff that I left in the corner last night, I looked around to check if there's anything that I forgot to bring. Backpack, check. Clothes, check. Photos, check. Homework, check. Necklace, check. Some money, check.
So I took one last look at my now empty room, longingness flooded over me; don't cry. It's your last time to see your room so DON'T CRY.

I heard scattered chatter coming from downstairs so I put my ears flat to the walls and try to listen to it as much as I can; but I only managed to catch some phrases and words here and there.

".......care............until adoption..........go now?" Adoption????
"Yes............gonna go up............. find her...........go alone....."
Then there was footsteps coming up the stairs and in front of my room, I held my breath. Then the person knocked.
"Percy? Annabeth?" I asked.
"Can I go in?" the person asked, avoiding my question.
"W-who are y-you?" I asked, stepping backwards.
"Fitz, Fitzroy." he said, Fitzroy?? Who names their children Fitzroy????
"C-com-me in." I stuttered.

A boy with brown hair and striking teal eyes walked in, "Okay, you're going to come with me now; do you have everything?" he asks. I went through a mental list of things that i should bring, clothes.... my drawing book...... photos...... books........!!!! Books!!
"Wait!! I forgot my books!!" I went to the bookshelf in my room and shoved all the books into a bag and shouldered it.

We went down the stairs in silence, then when we're at the door.
"You sure you got everything? We're not coming back afterwards and everything else is either getting donated or sold." Fitz asks, he looks like he's the same age as me.... does he come to the same school as me? Maybe... he seems popular though....
"Sophie?"
"Huh?" I blinked out of my questions.
"I said do you have everything? We're not coming back afterwards."
"Ye— oh wait!!! Ella!! She's the bright blue elephant in a Hawaiian shirt!" I said, how could I forget her??
"Stay here, I'll go grab it for you." Fitz says, then ran upstairs to get it.

After securing Ella and my belongings, I took one last look at my house—the one where all my memories began from, and hugged Ella tight.
"You're doing great Sophie, be brave." I can practically hear my parents beside me saying those encouraging words into my ear and hugging me tight.

"Ready to go?" Fitz asks.
"As ready as I can be." I replied, then got into the car that will take me to a new place—a new beginning.

Another update today, woooooo!!
