Teenage Rivals

"49 double cross on 1 on 1, break!", Percy Jackson broke up the huddle and strode casually to his offensive line. "Down...set, hike!" Percy yelled as he receives the ball from his center.

He grasped the ball, dropped back a few steps, and turned 90 degrees as he stuck handed off the ball to Jason. Shoving his way through the offensive line to be smashed by Charlie Beckendof

"Dammit Beck! Good hit it was softer than last week." Jason laughed as he slowly stretched and rose up from the ground.

"Calm down sunshine, if I meant to kill you, well you're already dead," Beckdenof walked away with a grin.

"Absolutely brilliant! Listen to me son, you keep hitting strong understand me? Percy and the offensive will do their thing and if all goes well we're onto State! Now everyone gather round!" Coach Hedge screamed as the team ran in and formed a circle around Beckendof and Percy.

"Now Beck do you think we can pull this off tomorrow? I already got the cannon primed," Percy gave a flex at his linebacker who looked down at him cause of his four inches he had on his 6'2 quarterback.

"Perce your my pal, I wouldn't lie to you but you know this school's history no way in hell am I gonna be an exception! Now Mr. Varsity Captain how hard do we plan to smash those little NBPS girls?" Beck snapped at his friend as he walked around the circle.

"Do I have to remind you of this schools motto?" Percy questioned with a smirk, he already knew his friend's answer.

"Quod excedat spem, Surpass the expectations!" The whole team interjected.

"Alright, so I expect nothing less than for us to make this game one to remember! Hands in everyone, Bulldogs on 3!" Percy declared. Waiting for everyone to close in.

"1, 2, 3, Bulldogs!" The team shouted.

"Alright thats it for practice I want everyone here tomorrow after school practice for snack, stretching, and then we get on the bus. Clear? Oh hey! Eat a big lunch and take it easy for next couple of days!" He yelled his players were almost off the field but they heard what he said.

As Percy walked into the locker room he noticed his locker was open, he thought nothing of it until he looked at Jason who had a satisfied look on his face. "What did you do this time Grace?", Percy said with a smile.

"Nothing, just texting your girlfriend..." He called as he went to his locker on the other side of locker room.

'What a stupid old joke,' Percy thought, but he knew what Jason was talking about, his best friend who just so happened to be a girl. He checked his iPhone 6 there was an unread message from her.

'Uh oh,' he thought. They message said "Good try Jason I know this isn't Percy, lol he doesn't want my nudes anyways :P I will see you later Percy 3".

"Perfect, way to go Jason and thanks for making me look like an ass!", Percy called as he exited the locker room, heading to first period.

Line Break~~~~~ Percy

As the last bell of the day rang, Percy strolled to his dark blue cadillac crossover. Once he was within 40 feet he saw someone waiting at his car. It could only be one person, Calypso. Texting and leaning on the car while wearing her cheerleader outfit stalling for her practice to begin. Even though she was captain of the squad she had a habit of being fashionably late. With her dark brown hair, almond colored eyes she was beautiful but Percy and her were best friends as close as siblings. Her stature was small, only 5'5" in height, lean, and small hips. She had a small nose to fit her face, small ears, flat stomach. She looked up once she heard his footsteps echoing on the blacktop parkinglot.

"Hey Babe," Percy yelled with a smirk planted on his face.

"You're really not gonna let that go? Just because we're close friends I'm gonna let it go. Anyways Babe," she snapped in a mocking tone, "Doesn't really matter if you call me that, I can handle myself," she said without looking up from her phone.

"Well lets see, you shower in my room, sleep in my bed with me, and wear my clothes...so you could say we are close friends" Still having his smirk on his face as he climbed into his car. After starting it, he slipped out hugged her, kissed her on the cheek and hopped back in the car.

"Ew! You're smelly and weird go away!" She squealed and pushed him away. He started to drive away. She watched him pull out and start to drive away.

"Wait!" She called but Percy was already turning out of the parking lot.

"See you later!" He called leaving his best friend with a pissed off look on her face. He felt kinda bad rushing out of their she looked like there was more to tell him but he needed to get back to his house. After the 10 minute drive home Percy got to his house.

"I'm home!" Percy shouted as he walked through the door of his blue 2 story house and waltzed straight into the kitchen. His mom was on her laptop with her purple earbuds playing some of Johnny Cash's music.

"How was your day bud? Did you do well in practice this morning?" His mom questioned with a big smile on her face.

"Yea mom I am all set for the game tomorrow night and don't worry I'm not leaving the house tonight. Coach said to take it easy, hey where is Casey?" Percy asked always being the protective big brother to her. She was in the whole I'm a social butterfly stage since she was 11 years old. His voice was echoing off the inside of the fridge as he dug around, he removed his head and took out leftover steak and potatoes.

"Good I like to know you aren't being too reckless and is Calypso coming over tonight? I wanted to make a special dinner for your game tomorrow and since I am sure she will be I planned ahead. Also Casey will be at home with Paul after her cheerleading practice," She said still typing away on her laptop. "Calypso and you have been friends since you were four. I know I say this often but I wouldn't be shocked if you guys go to the same college, date, and then...well," his mom blushed "get married and start a family..." She said softly, know that this conversation didn't sit well with Percy. It was one of Percy's touchy subjects. He glared at her, but dropped his stare as the microwave beeped.

"Mom I told you I don't have those feelings for her, just cause we hang out...you know its out of the question..." He sighed. "She is basically my sister and I seen her naked so many times it doesn't...Ugh I am letting you get to me again." He complained. "I would prefer if we didn't have this conversation anymore," he called as he trudged up the stairs to his room. He caught of glimpse of his mom laughing at his blushing face.

Percy entered his room, set the plate of food on his desk, threw his book bag on his bed and hopped into the shower. Thinking about what his mom said to him.

'Why is she always like that, prodding at me knowing me better than I know myself' he thought. He let of a big breath of air as he stepped out of the shower. He gazed into the mirror looking at his muscular self. A six pack on his stomach, firm pecks make up his chest, big biceps for arms, and muscular legs. He walked over to his dresser, pulled out a grey v-neck, red plaid boxers, and white khaki shorts putting those on before sliding on a pair of green flip flops. He slid down into his desk chair, and started to eat his food. After the first few bites, a notification popped onto his phone. Hearing the familiar text tone, he pulled his phone out of his pocket. His eyes were full of satisfaction as he read the message.

'Percy my car broke down...Can you come pick me up? - Calypso,' the message said.

'Can I get a please Callie?' He responded.

'... Please,' She replied, he could tell she was pissed.

'I'm on my way send me the place where you at,' He sent as he got up from his chair. "Mom! Calypso's car broke down I'm gonna call her a tow truck and bring her here!" He yelled as he was leaving the house to get into his car.

"Be safe out on the road!" She replied from the kitchen.

He started the car and pulled out of his driveway. He got the text from her.

'I am at Moroni Beach,' was the message. He knew exactly where he was going, it was a familiar spot for him, the perfect party location. A nice part of the beach where the tide never hit too high. Rocks blocked the view to look into the dish from the left side of the beach. A beach cabana was on the far side of the dance floor, where people put the alcohol. The smooth limestone dance floor that was 40 feet each way with the bonfire in the middle. The wooden pier on the end of the beach, a prime location for meeting girls and doing stupid things. Not to mention the crystal clear waters that you can see through. One of the only beaches in Los Angeles that had that clear of water.

'Man there were some great parties there sophomore year...' He thought recalling all the times he went to that beach, well as much as he could remember from the drinks. After 15 minutes of driving on the Freeway, Percy took the exit off and found the beach gravel lot. He spotted Calypso on her phone as usual, being a social butterfly. She glanced up at him while he pulled onto the lot. He heard faint music as he got out of the car. He smirked, 'of course...this was the only way to get me out here when his coach said to take the night off,' he mentally face palmed.

"You know if you wanted to drag me out here for a party you have succeeded I shouldn't have fallen for this. If you don't need a ride then why am I here? you know we are supposed to rest up before big games," Percy said as he glared at her, realizing she was wearing a purple and black bikini.

"Yea well get over it I am not letting Coach Anger Management keep my baby from going where he wants," she teased looking up from her smartphone.

"Yea well if I am here I might as well spend it with my friends and some hot chicks," as he said it, he saw Calypso slowly form a mischievous grin.

"Perfect lets go sweetie, they are expecting you!" She grabbed his hand and they raced down the hill. He slowed her down as they walked hand and hand to the cabana. He gazed around seeing the familiar people he called his classmates. As he continued to sift through the partiers he caught a glimpse them and grinned, he stared at Beck and Jason as they sat at a table drinking sodas. Percy knew he shouldn't have stayed, he wanted to go back home or maybe go see a movie but his legs subconsciously started to move toward his friend's table.

"Hey Percy!" A girl shouted at him as he tried to move through the crowd. Unfortunately as soon as she said that everyone turned and the music volume lowered.

"Percy!" Everyone shouted as the music switched to a more electronic type compared to the pop songs that were playing. Beck and Jason got up from their seats and as they walked to meet Percy, Beck threw a Dr. Pepper his way. Percy caught the soda with ease and sat at the beach cabana bar. They sat across from him with different drinks in their hands.

"So...what happened to the whole we're gonna take it easy tonight?" Percy asked in between sips of his soda. He looked at them for a few seconds before Jason spoke up.

"Well we were gonna stay in to rest, but then beck got a text from Katie over there," he pointed to Katie Gardner who was dancing by the bonfire. "She said there was gonna be a party tonight we couldn't miss it cause the girls from Sierra were coming," he said with a big grin. Percy smirked at him. "Then I told Beck and he said he was down for a party but he wasn't gonna drink," Jason told him still smiling.

"Beck you came on your own? Why didn't anyone stop Callie from tricking me? You guys know I rest up on days before big games. Especially since we're so close to state," Percy said without taking his eyes off of the soda can. He glanced up to see Beck watching girls and Jason staring at him. "You know what...fuck it, lets go and do something," throwing his soda away "but no alcohol at all or I will make sure you don't play tomorrow!" He stared at Jason and Beckendof.

"Ugh fine cause I know coach will do what you say..." Jason pouted at the ground.

"Yea yea Perce but come on lets go already the party just started and I hate to watch parties happen." Beck was already looking at the girls walking around.

"Beck serious no alcohol...got me?" Percy asked him.

"Yea I heard you the first time now let me go dance" he said as he left with a wink.

Line Break~~~~~ Artemis

"Get up you idiot and get this girl out of your dorm! Now!" Artemis yelled at her older brother, as she glared daggers at his half naked body the naked girl next to him. He groaned as he got up from his warm bed.

"Little sis not cool we didn't even get to sleep in today!" Apollo whined as he threw on his clothes. "We were going to get up...maybe," he continued "What time is it anyways?," he asked as he glared out the window.

"11 pm, you would know if you didn't drink and whore yourself to sleep yesterday night..." She snarled at him. "You have missed morning practice for football, 2 quizzes, and you have not done your homework in 5 days! I am about call and tell dad to pull you out of this school next time this happens, keep it together! And if you get a girl pregnant before you're married I will castrate you!" Artemis stormed off furious with her pig brother.

'How could he just sleep with every girl he wants, most don't even go to our school and are just ones he finds at parties while he get piss drunk and can barely get home. On top of that he can't do school work when he's not here. Boys are such fools and ignorant horn dogs,' she thought as she ate her cereal and got ready for her classes.

After grabbing her bag and finishing her food, she left her dorm and walked to the quad. Northern Beach Preparatory School, one of the best private high schools in the country. The school had a small but efficient campus complete with dorms, outside food court and indoor, a quad, and in dorm lounges. As well as a football stadium, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and an auditorium.

Artemis was a girl in control of her desires, she had never dated a guy, kissed, or flirted. She knew from experience that men were pigs and only wanted what is on her chest and between her legs.

'Stupid boys who know no more then what their dick's tell them,' she thought as she sat down in the front row of her English class, still frustrated at her brother. She always dreaded the class because of her dyslexia, but she managed if she concentrated on what she was reading. Math was an easy subject to her, she was in AP calculus. Most teachers classified her as the shy, smart, girl who never misbehaved or said much in class. A buzzing noise brought her out of her thoughts, it was Silena.

'Are you out of class yet? Nico and Will want to go to a party before the big game tomorrow.' Her message said. Silena Beauregard, her best friend, continued to amaze her ever since she was a child. The sexiest and the girl with the best body according to Apollo and his stupid friends. That made her cringe, thinking about her brother and what the boys do with girls that can't control themselves or don't know any better. Then there was Nico Di'Angelo and Will Solace, those boys had been true friends since the start of 8th grade. Nico and Will decided they would come out and tell everyone that they were gay. Not too much off a shocker to Artemis and her friends, they were always sitting next to each other and they were really cute together. No one made fun of them, they were happy and they brought out the best in each other.

'Hello earth to nerd?' Another messaged came onto her phone. Artemis still in a daze subconsciously pulled up her phone to check it.

"Ms. Artemis!" Her English teacher yelled. She jolted up and slammed her phone down onto her desk.

"Yes?" She tried to look innocent.

He smiled at her, knowing she didn't want to be embarrassed in front of her peers. "Ms. Artemis I was going to ask you why you were not focused on our lesson. This is English II correct? Are you not a sophomore like the rest in this classroom? Are my lectures not intellectually provocative towards you? I suggest you tell Silena to wait till you are out of my class," he said with a smile. The whole class was chuckling, most pleased to have a break in the lecture.

Once the bell rang, Artemis rushed outside bumping her way through most of her classmates. Whipping out her phone she called Silena, eager for the news.

"Hey what were you talking about? Thanks to you Mr. Chiron chewed me out for texting in class," She stated. She really wished they were talking face to face.

"Yea well let the old man teach while we stay young! I didn't know you were in that class," she complained. "Anyways there is a party tonight, Moroni beach. We are going to it because I need to get laid and you need to meet someone!" She yelled the last part.

Artemis grimaced at the very thought of having a boyfriend. She didn't hate all guys she knew although some were genuine like Nico and Will, but every non-gay man she met was a snob and a complete asshole to her. Men loved her of course, like a magnet to metal no matter where she traveled she was gawked at, flirted with, and treated like a queen. Boys tripping over each other just to get near her, she despised it all of it. Especially guys she knew, countless 'Fuck offs, go away, leave me alone, etc', were said and they still never realize she won't date those scumbags.

"Yea...I don't know Silena every guy I meet is exactly the same. They want slutty girls to bang, not girls to actually have a meaningful relationships with," she muttered as she passed the food court.

"Well its not like you're open to guys so you never know if you will meet the right guy," she argued.

"Cause I know how they are, they think I'm hot and usually under some influence then they get shot down. I try to hold my morals above being a sex doll," Artemis replied bluntly.

"Ouch I felt that one Arty, I think you just called me a whore! I thought we were friends!" She kept going putting on her crying act.

"Oh are we really going here? Right now? Don't try to guilt trip me into this party, midterms are this week!" Artemis was trying to sound confident and hold her ground. She knew she wasn't going to win this fight, she never won.

"I have no one to tell me if I look good. Please!" She cried, extending the please. Artemis knew that Silena had no problem of confidence. The girl would walk around naked everywhere if she could.

Artemis reached her dorm still listening to the pleads Silena spewed out. When needed she could make am excuse for anything.

"Fine. I will go to the party,". She replied to a quiet Silena.
