Hey everybody! So this is my first ever story, and I'm pretty new to all of this stuff.. so bear with me. Enjoy :)
Disclaimer: I don't own the Percy Jackson Series.
Okay, hear me out.
You'll probably think I'm crazy or somethin' for saying this but, you know that "Greek mythology stuff?" And how there are gods and goddesses? Well, all that stuff is real. And sometimes, those gods and goddesses like to hook up with mortals and have kids, called half-bloods.
Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Freddie Collins, and unfortunately, I'm a half-blood.
CHAPTER 1
I guess you could say my morning was off to a rough start. As if showering with no hot water was bad enough, Me and my new best friend Grover just missed our bus to school. I was kind of worried that we missed our ride, because the sky was really dark and looked like it would start raining. And I hate walking in the rain.
"It's all your fault. If you would've hurried up we wouldn't be in this mess. And now we have to walk to school!," I complained.
"For the sixth time Freddie, I'm sorry," Grover replied, looking more annoyed than sorrowful.
Grover was a scrawny, crippled kid with acne who got picked on a lot. I'm guessing he was held back a lot because he already had a full grown goatee. Anyways, on the first day of high school I felt kinda bad for him because he was all alone at lunch, so I decided to sit next to him. Ever since then we've been best friends.
We had to walk through the creepy part of Manhattan filled with drug cartels and street gangs to get to Northdale High, my high school. Basically, Northdale High was a high school that helped "special" kids with learning disabilities- like me. You see, I was born with dyslexia and ADHD, making it almost impossible for me to learn anything; so that's why I have to go to this place.
Anyway, we were about two blocks away from Northdale when we got stopped by my one of my worst enemies, Peter Wilson.
"Well looky here! If It isn't Goody-Two Shoes Collins and Grover Underwear," Peter said mockingly.
"Uhm.. it's Underwood," Grover mumbled.
"What was that, Underwear?" Peter said, grabbing Grover by his shirt collar.
"Hey!" I shouted. "Don't you dare touch him!"
When I said that, thunder boomed from the sky as if on cue.
Peter let go of Grover's collar and walked toward me.
"You know, your friend has a big mouth, Collins," he said, backing me into an alley.
He pushed me in to the alley wall causing me to bang my head.
"Ouch.." I mumbled, rubbing the back of my head.
"Aren't ya going to fight back Collins?" Peter replied, getting ready to punch me.
And then, I did something really stupid. I punched Peter right in the face. Hard. Let me just say that might have been my worst idea ever.. Peter looked back at me, clearly pissed off. I thought he was going to beat me up on the spot, but he didn't. No, he did something way worse. He began to transform. At this point I was probably going crazy. I didn't get much sleep. Yeah. I'm just hallucinating. I tried rubbing my eyes; no good, he was still transforming. He started to look like some type of dragon-snake hybrid.
"Fredward Theseus Collins," he said, in a malicious tone. "I will destroy you."
Aaaand that's it for the first chapter. I know, very short. I promise I'll make the next chapter longer, I just wanted to start with something. Also, please feel free to review as it helps me a ton ;D. Thanks so much for reading and until next time!
