Chapter One

"Bradley, wake up!" shouted Ernest.

Ernest is my step-father. He met my mom after my real father left when I was a baby.

"Alright, I'm up!" I shouted back annoyed. I got out of bed slowly, put on some shorts, my Italy soccer jersey, and my Nikes.

"Bradley, you better hurry, Percy is probably starting to worry about you." My mom said as she handed me a warm pop tart.

"Thanks, see you after school." I replied.

There he was, my best friend, Percy Jackson sitting in the same parking place as always. He was inside his 2012 Dodge Challenger, a crazy fast car with an awesome paint job. The body of the car was a sea green color with a black trim and bronze tridents painted on both sides of the car. He was wearing his favorite orange t-shirt that said Camp Half-Blood on the front side.

"What took you so long, I was beginning to wonder if something happened to you?" Percy asked seriously.

"Why so serious Percy?" I asked because Percy is usually really laid back, but for the past couple of weeks he has been really protective of me.

"No reason, come on, get in we're going to be late."

I opened the car door and got in.

"Bradley, you know how I go to a camp in the summer after each school year?"

"Yeah, Camp Half-Blood, right?"

"Yes, I was talking to your parents and they agreed to let you come with me this summer to Camp Half-Blood."

"No way, Percy, that's awesome!"

"Alright we're here, try to stay out of trouble and I'll see you in gym class."

"Alrighty then, see you there."

Mr. Kuban's class didn't go so well for me. I've had trouble all year in all of my classes since I am dyslexic and have A.D.H.D. I couldn't concentrate on Mr. Kuban's lesson to save my life. So, I just sat there and imagened what Camp Half-Blood would be like. I did this for what seemed like a life time, then the bell finally rang. I grabbed my things, ran down the hallway towards the gym. Percy was the first one there as usual, considering that his first class is right across the hall from the gym.

"So, did you learn anything in Kuban's class today?" Percy asked sarcastically.

"Not a thing, I just sat there and zoned out." I replied. We both laughed at this since we're both dyslexic and have a hard time learning.

"Alright class, today we will be playing indoor soccer." Announced Coach Clark. "Pick your teams and begin when everybody is ready."

We picked our teams and were about to begin when one of the gym walls exploded and a dozen of these giant dog things came through the smoke.

"No, not now!" Percy screamed over the explosion.

"What are those things?" I demanded.

"Hellhounds, just stay close, okay." He grabbed a pen from his pocket and clicked it, then a three foot long sword appeared in his hands.

Percy fought off most of the hellhounds, but he looked like he was getting tired and he couldn't hold them off forever. I ran to the utility closet and grabbed a metal baseball bat. I turned and ran back to the gym and found Percy with his back to the wall. I started pounding away at the hellhounds desperately trying to draw some of them away from Percy.

"Percy, I could use some help over here!" I screamed as I batted away a hellhound.

"Hold on!" Percy yelled as he formed his own miniature hurricane around himself and destoryed every last hellhound before they could even react.

"How did you do that and where did you get that sword?" I asked completely baffled.

"No time to explain we have to get out of here now!" Percy replied as we sprinted out of the school and towards Long Island Sound.

We arrived at a hill near Long Island Sound when the sun started to set. I looked at Percy, who's face was lit up with a sea green light.

"What?" I panted. He didn't answer, instead he crack one of his huge smiles.

"Come on, it has been a long day." Percy said as he took me to a house near the top of the hill. The humongous door creaked open slowly.

"You can sleep here for tonight, I'll come get you in the morning." He point across the room at a couch with a blanket and a pillow sitting on the coffe table. I started to protest, but Percy walked out of the house and closed the door behind him. I wanted to go after him, but something told me I shouldn't. So I laid down on the couch, put the pillow under my head, and covered myself up and fell asleep instantly

This is the first chapter of my first book on fanfiction. I thought it went pretty well and sorry about it being short, but I promise the next chapter will be longer and more entertaining.
