Goode High School

01.

Annabeth's POV

The obnoxious sounds of arguing wake me up. I sit up sleepily and rub my eyes.

"What the Hades, Reyna!" Thalia's voice rings out loud and clear.

I get up and join Thalia by the bathroom door. "Reyna," I call. "Hurry up. Some people actually want to get to school today."

"Done." Reyna walks out of the bathroom and smirks at a scowling Thalia. 

"Gods help me or I swear-" Thalia begins.

"Just go in, Thals." Thalia grumbles and marches into the bathroom slamming the door behind her. I sigh and go to wake up Piper.

"Pipes, get up!"

"Okay." I hear Piper get up and start to choose her outfit. I turn around and head to my room to grab what I'll need when it's my turn.

"Reyna! It's your turn to make breakfast!" I call to her.

"Ugh, fine." Reyna stomps her foot before heading down to the kitchen. Thalia exits the bathroom and Piper enters it. 

Soon we're downstairs eating our breakfast. Thalia and Reyna are watching the news and Piper is scrolling through her phone. I shake my head.

Piper smiles. "It's time." 

"I'll go first," offers Reyna.

Ten minutes later, Reyna reappears. She's wearing a purple cold shoulder top with a pair of white skinny jeans. Beige gladiator sandals are on her feet and you can see the tattoo of "hope" written on her ankle. A set of bangels adorn her arm and her hair has been pulled into a fishtail braid. She has minimal makeup- only a light coat of gloss and some mascara.

"How do I look?" Reyna demands.

"Pretty," I say.

"Good."

"Thalia, it's your turn." Piper smiles wickedly and Thalia groans but follows her anyways.

Minutes later, Thalia is shoved in front of us. Thalia has a black tank top on and an olive green jacket over it. Her bottoms are a pair of distressed skinny jeans and a set of black flats adorn her feet. You can notice her tattoo "faith" on the outside of her ankle; a black choker is wrapped around her throat and her eyes pop. Her hair is straightened.

I sigh. It's my turn and as usual I'm nervous. Piper spins me around and shoves me onto a chair. My head hurts as the scent of perfume overwhelms the air. 

Soon, I'm done. I check myself in the mirror. A tight gray tee shirt clings to my torso and I'm wearing a denim jean skirt. I'm given a pair of one inch ankle boots and I begin to protest, but think better of it at the look Piper gives me. The tattoo on my wrist is visible. "Trust"- the only word that kept me alive through Tartarus.

My hair is in a half bun. A coat of mascara covers my eyelashes and lip balm is on my mouth. My camp necklace is on my neck. Piper grins widely and shoves me out of the room. I roll my eyes and take a seat next to Reyna.

Checking the time, I realize we have about forty minutes until we have to leave. Piper comes out faster than I thought she would. 

Piper opts for a white pleated skirt and a peach colored peasant shirt. Her shoes are one inch wedges and she has feather earrings. Eyeliner and lipgloss are on her face and her hair has been curled in to ringlets. Her wrist tattoo says "live". A ring with an electric blue stone is on her right index finger.

The school looms in front of us as Thalia swerves to avoid hitting a pedestrian.

"What in the actual Hades, Thalia!" screeches Reyna as I pale.
