Chapter 1: The Start of Something Big
Annabeth POV
"Percy, calm down." I commanded, following him off of the plane.
"Calm down!?" Percy shrieked. "We almost just died and you're telling me to calm down!?"
"Percy, you know that Zeus just hates your dad, it's not a big deal. Besides, Aphrodite made him promise to not kill us, the turbulence was just his way of having fun."
"That doesn't make it any less nerve wracking!"
"Oh Seaweed Brain." I said, rolling my eyes.
Marinette POV
"Adrien?" I asked as he walked up, carrying a sign.
"Marinette?" Adrien asked in return, noticing my sign. "You're here to get the exchange student to?"
"Well, one. Oh, I think that's mine now!" I said, noticing the blonde American girl and a raven haired boy next to her. I put up my sign as Adrien did the same. The girl walked up laughing.
"It's Beth." She said as the boy noticed the sign and also laughed.
"What?" I asked, looking at the sign. Annabelle Chase.
"My name, it isn't Annabelle, it's AnnaBETH."
"Oh." I said, feeling my face grow red. "Sorry. I heard that your name was Anna-Something, but I just assumed that it was Belle, not Beth."
"It's okay, Annabeth isn't that common of a name to begin with."
"You're handling this better than you do when Mr. D calls you that." The boy said as Annabeth rolled her eyes.
"Percy, you know that Mr. D has known me for more than ten years! That's why I get angry at him Perry Johnson!"
"Oh shut up Annabelle Cheese!"
"Well, at least he doesn't call your cousin Mango Cheese!"
"What?" Adrien asked between laughs.
"Long story." Annabeth said, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, you must be Marinette, right?"
I nodded. "That's me!"
"And I'm guessing that you're Adrien?" The boy asked as Adrien squirmed.
"That would be me!" Adrien checked his watch. "Shoot! Marinette, we have to get going back to my place for the stream, remember?"
"I forgot!" I said, rushing to grab Annabeth's bags as she smiled.
"I can grab them. Where exactly are we going?" She asked as we all walked out of the airport.
"My house. Marinette and I have a YouTube channel with our friends, Alya and Nino, called-"
"#4AwkwardTeens?" Percy asked. "I've heard of you guys. Our friend Rachel Dare watches you guys. She finds you comical."
"Well that's good." I said, sighing. "Anyway, we have to go to Adrien's house because our live stream starts in what, five, ten minutes, right?"
Adrien nodded. "Yeah. I believe that Nino is gonna force us to play an American horror game of sorts."
"What game?" Annabeth asked.
"Five something or another."
"What if it's FNaF?" Percy asked excitedly.
Annabeth shrugged as we got into the limo.
"Natalie, we need to get back to the house in less than ten minutes, is that possible?" Adrien asked as the car took off.
Natalie nodded. "Oh, I'm guessing that you two are the exchange students? I'm Natalie, Mr. Agreste's assistant."
Percy whistled appreciably. "Dude, you have an assistant?"
"She's my father's." Adrien said, looking down.
The car was silent for a long time until I spoke up. "Is it just me, or does this feel like the start of something big?"
Adrien looked up. "It does. These two are the first two exchange students-"
"That's not what I mean."
Annabeth sighed. "You mean that us coming feels like the start of something bad, don't you?"
I nodded. "Kinda. I just have a bad feeling..."
"Same here." Percy said, trying to read a book, but he was holding it upside down.
Annabeth rolled her eyes as she put the book the right way. "For Percy and I, it just comes with the territory. But I know what you mean. I don't exactly have a good feeling about this either..."
"Hey, in the end, everything will turn out fine. Just think positive." Adrien reassured us as Annabeth got out a book of her own.
"Not always." She muttered. We were silent the rest of the way there.
