Chapter 1: The incident

Hi, my name is Percy Jackson and I'm here to tell you my side of my story. You see, I was once a happy guy, with a happy family and a happy girlfriend. That is, until the day of the incident. My father was Poseidon Jackson, my mother was Sally Jackson and my girlfriend was Calypso.

I was 16 years old at the time of the incident and it was the end of sophomore year of high school; my father was driving and we were going to our annual road trip, somehow I convinced my parents to bring Calypso with us, and I thought I would be the best vacation I'd ever had. Oh but how wrong I was.

I was happily chatting with Callie when suddenly our car went out of control, we had no idea what was happening. Our car went off the road and slammed into the trees nearby. I only heard a crash sound and instantly my vision went black.

According to the hospital I was unconscious for 3 weeks, in some sort of comatose state, and to my surprise I got the news that my parents and my girlfriend were dead. I was totally devastated; I barely eat and I had nightmares every day. Of course, I don't remember anything about the crash when I'm awake, but when I'm sleep, the events are repeated on my head over and over and over again.

I am currently on silent treatment, I do not speak to anyone unless necessary. I live by myself since my uncles wouldn't take me in, nice family I got huh? But despite my uncles hating me, my cousins are my best friends, basically they are the only ones that I speak to, and they're my only friends. You see, I'm not a popular kid at school, and I'm constantly bullied regardless what people say about me or how they insult me because I don't talk to them, I focus myself on getting good grades and try to get a scholarship for my Marine biologist degree.

After a long and horrible second summer without the people I most care about, the first day of senior year came around. I'm pretty excited for 1 thing: it's 1 less year before college, but at the same time it's going to be a long year without Nico and Thalia, since they already went for college. So, I'll just have to survive for 1 year all the bullying, sounds easy enough right? Well it isn't, you wanna know why? Because every time someone bullies you, your self-esteem lowers more and more, until there's nothing left for you. It doesn't help either that I'm not athletic at all, only when it comes to swimming, but I don't let people know that, I just simply don't want attention. Oh and don't forget that I have myopia and have to use glasses, of course, how could I forget? I literally have to switch glasses every once in a while because the bullies aka the football team, have to break them. So overall? I'm the typical "Nerd" guy. I also got Dyslexia and ADHD but I managed to overcome my dyslexia, that's like literally the only achievement I have in all these years. So, as you can see, my self-esteem is pretty low.

Anyways, I'm walking around my school before anyone arrives because I like to be earlier so I don't get noticed and hurt before the beginning of the day, so it's around 7 and school starts at 7:45. I got my schedule and went to my assigned classroom, before entering I bumped into someone; I flinched and instantly covered my face, reflexes I guess. But the person didn't actually hit me like I thought it would happen, she just stared at me with a worried look. Her name? Annabeth Chase, popular kid, head of cheerleaders and #1 GPA of the school, people would think that because she's blonde she's stupid, but no, she's so brilliant that she would make Einstein jealous. Nah just kidding.

"Sorry for bumping into you" She said

I quickly grabbed a pen and a notebook, tore a page from it, and wrote "It's ok, it was my fault, and I wasn't paying attention, blame the reading"

"Why did you write it instead of saying it?" She asked

"It's kind of personal, I rather not write about it" I wrote her

"Okay, no problem then, I'll be on my way" She said with an awkward face

And with that, I went my way to my seat. I sat there in silence until the bell rang, and our teacher came in. I tried to focus on my classes, but I couldn't help but notice again that I talked to Annabeth Chase, well, not really talked, but you know what I mean. There is no way in hell, that I'll be that lucky to talk to her again, or whatever.

Lunch came by and it was time for my "Splash" of the day like Luke and his gang love to call it. Which basically consists on they pushing my head through the toilet, pretty cool huh? Lucky me, toilets are always clean, thank the gods of Olympus. Oh yea, I forgot to mention you guys, I'm a Greek Mythology freak. Anyways moving on, it was time for my splash of the day and it came with a little surprise, a punch in the face.

After that I went and had lunch on a table alone, like always. I actually didn't mind though, I always spend my time reading or doing something productive with my life and if I get lucky, one day of these assholes will work for me, and that will be the greatest day of my life.

I was minding my own busyness and my phone buzzed

Hey kelp head, how are you holding up on your first day?

-T&N

I rolled my eyes before answering

Like you wouldn't know, it's going pretty smooth, actually, Luke managed not to break my glasses on my first day, pretty impressive I have to say, although I got a surprise punch on my daily splash. Besides that, everything is great! Notice the sarcasm. I'll talk you guys later, I'm about to go to class. I love you guys.

Okay kelp head, take care of yourself, don't let them get to you, we love you too.

I know what you'll say, pretty cheesy, but when those 2 are your only family, all cheesiness is allowed, so sue me, I already have nothing to lose.

Pretty soon, school was over, and I rushed to the exit not wanting to get beat up after school, but my luck isn't really good like I said before. I was already surrounded by 4 guys and all I could do was enduring the punches, they broke my glasses (again) and got a kick in the stomach along with a black eye. Good thing I always keep a new pair of glasses on my backpack.

As I entered my apartment, I rushed to the bathroom and cleaned up my injuries, I always keep some bandages. And again, I ran out of bandages and forgot to buy some, so I had to go to my neighbors to ask for some. Ding dong, and I heard someone saying "COMING"

The miss opened the door and said "Oh hi Percy, how are you?" She looked at my eye and saw the injury "Oh my god you got hit again? C'mon in and let me treat that for you"

"It-It's ok Miss Chase, I-I c-can take care of it myself, you don't have to worry" I said looking defeated and really nervous. Since my parents died, Miss Chase has always been there for me, and unlike her daughter, she's one of the 3 people in the world that I actually talk to, because she always comes to my apartment bringing me dinner and I'm really grateful to her for that.

"Nonsense, c'mon in! And don't you dare decline me dinner mister" She said and I couldn't help but nod.

After she cleared my injuries, I was about to go and tell her some lame excuse about homework or something like that because I didn't want to bother her much. But she already made a place for me in the table.

The table was made for 4 people, I'm guessing Mr. Chase, Miss Chase, Annabeth and I. I was very, very uncomfortable being around Annabeth, because she was really pretty and well, let's face it, she can date anyone, she won't waste her time with me.

Dinner went slow, like REALLY slow, it was some sort of awkward silence, except for the part where Miss Chase asked Mr. Chase about his day at work. So Annabeth decided to break the ice, it was more like mutual conversation since Ms. And Mr. Chase were busy with their own conversation.

"So, what's your name? I didn't quite catch it today at school" She asked

"My name is Percy Jackson, and I'm not surprised that you don't know me" I wrote her

"Percy? As in Thalia's cousin?" Well, considering my cousin was pretty popular, I'm not surprised she knows her, but how did she know that Thalia is my cousin?

"Yes, how do you know her?" I asked her curiously

"Well, she's my best friend, I'm surprised that I've only seen you today at school" She told me with a surprised face.

"Well, I'm not surprised honestly, I mostly keep myself hidden in school because of Luke's gang, they always like to beat me up, Thalia and Nico always defended me, but this year I'm on my own at school."

"You know what? I'm gonna talk to that worthless human being tomorrow and fix that" My eyes widened

"NO NO NO NO, Don't do that please" I was almost begging at this point "That will cause me more damage, and I will not like that, although I can endure the bullying at this stage, I don't want it to be worse, please." I told her and she nodded, but with a worried face.

After dinner and thanking Miss Chase for it, I went back to my apartment and went to my room. As soon as I laid my head on the pillow, I felt asleep.

Well, this was some sort of idea that I had on my mind going on, and I didn't want to lose it, so help me out here with messages or reviews.

'Till next time!
