Normal. The word was never used to describe me, not even before this crazy train wreck happened. I was always an outcast. People shunned me for my entire life. Not even my dad wanted me. He left me with my mother when I was just a baby... and I hated him for that.
My eyes were the biggest problem. While other kids had green or blue eyes, mine were blood red with a slit for a pupil. Saying that they were intimidating, was an understatement. Most people were paralyzed with fear if they locked eyes with me. Therefor, people avoided me like the plague.
At school I was the person who sat alone. Other kids would sit on the floor before they sat with me. They would part ways in the hall, leaving me a clear path to my next class. That's how I knew that they didn't just dislike me, they were afraid of me.
Most people would think that fear is the same a respect. Most people are idiots. They didn't respect me, they hated me.
The only person that wasn't like the rest was my best friend, Zach Morris. He was 230 lbs of pure muscle. He's also a starter on the varsity football team... even though he's a freshmen. He keeps his brown hair cut in a short military style and has an obsession with camouflage clothes. People often mistake him for a war vet and walk up to him and say "Thank you for your service." It's always extremely awkward.
The two of us are polar opposites. While he's very serious and competitive, I'm loose and laid back. I keep my jet black hair long and shaggy, and won't hesitate to kick back and relax wherever I'm at. Like I said, polar opposites.
Because he was friends with me, people hated him too. He had the potential to be extremely popular, and I let him know it. Yet, he stayed with me for some reason. I had asked him before, why he didn't join the it crowd, but never got a straight answer. He simply said that it was us against the world.
A/N: What do ya think? It's my first fanfic so don't hate me too much. Reviews and criticism are appreciated. The next chapter is where things get interesting. Let me know what you think about my OCs and the plot (once it thickens). I'm also going to let you guys decide parts of the story, so always read my rants!
Also, I (sadly) don't own the Percy Jackson series. Only the plot is mine.
