"Um, Leo, Piper, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, and... me, Nico." Nico answered.
                          
I sighed. 'My usual bullies.'
                          
"We came to wish you a happy birthday. Will you let us in?" Piper asked, using her charmspeak.
                          
"First of all, I'm not letting you in. Second of all, my birthday was 5 months ago." I said.
                          
"No, today is August 18th." Leo argued.
                          
"No, 5 months ago was August 18th. It's January." I said back.
                          
"Dude, if it's January, why are we at Camp?"
                          
'Schist. He's got a point.'
                          
"If it's August, why do I think it's January?" I retorted.
                          
"Because your calendar is messed up...?" Piper said, but it sounded more like a question.
                          
"Hah, nice try. I'm still not letting you in."
                          
Before they could argue, I turned the volume of my radio back on, which was now playing a different song.
                          
"We are all living the same way, the same way.
                          
We are escaping the same way, the same way.
                          
Circling...
                          
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh..."
                          
"Don't make me kick down this door!" My ex-girlfriend threatened. Yes, we broke up. At least, I think we did...
                          
I ignored her and I sang along with the music, just to taunt her.
                          
"You don't have to hold your head up!
                          
Round and round,
                          
I won't run away this time, 
                          
'til you show me what this life is for.
                          
Round and round,
                          
I'm not 'gonna let you change my mind,
                          
'til you show me what this life is f-"
                          
Suddenly, the door exploded- yes, exploded, revealing 7 furious looking faces.
                          
'Well, I'm dead.' I thought. 'Probably shouldn't have ticked them off.'
                          
I was about to sprint away, when I noticed the 7 furious faces, turned into 7 shocked faces.
                          
"Percy...?" Annabeth ask hesitantly.
                          
"If I told you I was Carlos, Percy's long lost twin from Mexico, would you let me leave?" I asked.
                          
Suddenly, I found myself being hugged by 7 people. Yes, all of them were hugging me, including Jason... It was kind of- No, it was awkward.
                          
"Um... Can you please stop hugging me?"
                          
They obeyed and stepped back, looking at me like I was a puzzle they were trying to solve.
                          
"What?" I asked.
                          
Annabeth's eyes widened. "Oh my gods..."
                          
"What?" I asked again.
                          
"The spell broke." She answered.
                          
"What spell?!"
                          
"But Hera said it would last 2 years, not one." Hazel said.
                          
"What are you talking about?!" I demanded.
                          
"I don't think it even lasted a year." Annabeth said back.
                          
"Can someone please explain to me what's going on?!"
                          
"You don't know why we've been treating you badly, right?" Annabeth asked, causing me to nod.
                          
Annabeth facepalmed. "That's why he thought it was January!" She muttered to herself.
                          
Leo, Jason, Nico, Frank, and Piper joined me on this one. "What?"
                          
"I'm guessing the spell broke 5 months ago, and when it did, it left Percy with no memory after his 17th birthday."Annabeth explained.
                          
I threw my hands up. "Finally! I've been trying to tell you guys but you wouldn't let me explain!"
                          
"Wait, if the spell broke 5 months ago..." Piper started. "Then that means we've been bullying Percy, not him."
                          
"Him?! Was I possessed or something?"
                          
Frank shifted uncomfortably. "Well..."
                          
And he told me everything.

(A/N: I think I rewrote this chapter 6 times. And I mean the WHOLE chapter. At one point, I had 900 words, but I didn't like how it sounded so I started all over again. Also, the first song in this chapter is "All Alright" by Fun. and the second song is "Round and Round" by Imagine Dragons.)
