*SEQUEL TO MISS CLEOPATRA* 7 years ago, Drew Chadwick moved to Huntington Beach with his two bandmates that also happened to be his best friends. 7 years ago, Drew Chadwick met Annabeth Kade, and they fell in love. But a lot has changed in those 7 years. When Drew decided to leave Emblem3, the boys were crushed. They had lost not only a bandmate, but a best friend. The tension between the boys was more than uncomfortable, and Anna was forced to choose sides. But who should she choose? Was she supposed to align with Wes and Keaton, the boys she now called her step brothers- or Drew, the love of her life? Somehow, Anna made it work: living her life while maintaining a functional relationship with both sides. She had the perfect family, and the perfect boyfriend, and things finally started to seem good again. That is, until, her Junior year of college when Drew broke her heart. So imagine Annabeth's surprise when she runs into Drew three years later at the last place she'd ever expect: her best friend's wedding. And it doesn't look like he's leaving any time soon.

"I'm Wesley." "And I'm Drew." He nodded his head to the class. "Well boys, welcome to Huntington, but more importantly, welcome to World History I. The pair of you can take a seat in the back next to Annabeth." Oh shit. That's me. Meet Annabeth Kade. She's a Huntington Beach native savoring the little things that life has to offer. She expected her Junior year to be an average one- that is until the most popular guy in school decided to invite her to his Halloween party. But instead of attempting to blend, Annabeth decides to make a statement. She attends the party as no other than Cleopatra, the powerful Egyptian Pharaoh. When Drew arrives on the scene, Annabeth immediately catches his attention. What is it about Cleopatra that he finds so captivating? Is it the dark black wig? What about her piercing blue eyes? Or maybe it's the way she can command attention with just a simple look. The same question running through his head is one that everyone else would like to know the answer to: Who is Cleopatra and where has she been hiding? Annabeth doesn't like being the center of attention, which is why Cleopatra is the perfect alter ego. Every once in a while, she can slip on the black wig and become someone else. But being Cleopatra doesn't give her an escape for long, because Drew is on the case, determined to find out who she really is. Hey guys :) Haha I kind of suck at descriptions, but please check out my story! It'll be interesting I promise.
