Demigods of Jericho Middle School: Book 1, The New Girl

by PercyIsTheNewHarryPotter

When a new demigod appears at camp, Percy's not the only one turning heads. And when this new girl proves herself to mark the sky's fall, the campers all know she's more than just a demigod. She sacrifices herself to save the camp: but it's still under attack. She appears again, back from the dead, with an old enemy, a new ally, and her boyfriend. Can they stop the enemy?

1. How Can This Happen To Me?

A/N Tianjiao Wang is a sixth-grader attending Jericho Middle School(JMS). Her nickname is TJ, or sometimes Teej. Notable features: always wears a headband with wolf ears(compliments of her visit to Great Wolf Lodge) and wears prescription teal glasses. You pronounce Tianjiao as tin-jow, Yeung as young, and Aryan as R-ree-yon. Others, self-explanatory.

Tianjiao's POV

I slumped in my chair as my math teacher, Mr. Bush, droned on and on about fractions, decimals, and whatnot. Doesn't he know we learned this in fifth grade? How can this be the highest level of math for sixth grade?

( Funny, though. A guy called Chestnut Bush teaching math. He should be in a greenhouse.)

I glanced at the clock. Only four more minutes until the bell rings to start the weekend.

As my mind wandered off, I moved onto more important things: specifically, Percy Jackson. Wouldn't it be awesome for all those things to exist? For now, I was stuck with Mr. Bush. I straightened my wolf ears. Besides me, my only friend in math class, Ethan Yeung, was almost dozing off. I glanced at my watch. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… BEEP!

Yes, our bell sounds like a beeped-off curse in a video. Ethan snickered as he thought of all the curses that could fit in that beep. Everyone shot up and ran out the door. I had just reached the door when Mr. Bush stopped me.

"Ms. Wang," he said, meeting my eyes. "I believe you question the Greek Gods' existence. Others disregard it completely." I nodded slowly, pushing up my glasses. "I believe it's time to tell you," he continued. "Your friends, like Mia Shu, Diana Sun, Gingko Chen, Allan Choi, and Ethan Yeung, are demigods. And you are a special one: a hybrid." He looked for my reaction. I wasn't giving him one. This was too straightforward.

"So," I asked, changing the topic. "Are you a satyr?" "A faun, actually," he chuckled. "But instead of begging for donuts, I learned the Greek way: bringing demigods to camp."

"Gleeson Hedge retired to the Wilderness School, while I retired to JMS. OK, back on track. You truly have a powerful aura. It's a wonder you haven't been killed by monsters already."

I shivered, remembering the "close encounters" I had.

When I was seven, a statue of an eagle chased me through Queens. That was the main reason my family moved to Jericho.

When I was eight, hyenas with U-shaped teeth had talked to me, threatening to eat me if I didn't stop "the threat".

When I was nine, green flames had engulfed me, to no effect.

When I was ten, for my double-digit birthday, a dude in a tux with ONE FRICKING EYE came to my school during recess and gave me a golden coin, a drachma.

When I was eleven, a pure-black pegasus swooped down to me, speaking in my mind: Hey, you smell like Boss! Got any donuts or sugar cubes?

This year, nothing exciting happened… yet.

"Since the principal would wonder, I'm just giving you directions to Camp Half-Blood. I'll call your mother. She knows about this world. However, Tianjiao," he warned, using my full first name. "You're a hybrid. You might become an outcast since many campers are not yet ready for your existence. Well, good luck." And with that, I found myself outside the school, ready for my first lesson: surviving, which excluded getting into trouble, destroying things, and just causing havoc. Lucky me, I exceeded at all those things. I deserved an A+.
