Ok... so I'm not the best sister in the world. I mean, I've almost lead my brother into certain doom more than once. But what happened that winter... what happened that winter was DEFIANTLY worse than ANYTHING I've ever done.
Hi. My name is Breecy Tidal. My mother is Maria Tidal, a marine biologist. My dad is... ok this is going to sound weird but... my dad is Poseidon, the god of the sea. I am a demigod. My half brother is Percy Jackson, and this is the story of how I almost got him killed.
We've all done bad things right? I mean, there's no WAY that I could be the only kid in the world who almost got her brother killed. Right? RIGHT?
It started on the last day of school before winter break. I'm a freshman at Goode High School. It was only a half day, so we would get out at noon. At arround 11:30 my ADHD started acting up, so all I wanted to do was get OUT of this school and go run around... well who knows where. See, I was already excited. Once we got out of school, I was headed straight for Camp Half Blood, AKA my absolute favorite place in the world. All the teachers were passing out exam scores, and as usual, the only exam I wouldn't have to come up with an excuse for the grade was science.
Once the bell FINALLY rang, I was out the door, backpack shouldered, and jacket in my hand. I got on the bus and sat in the back, where hopefully no one would talk to me much. We got to my stop where I would walk to Percy's apartment. Mrs. Sally was more than happy to take me to camp. My mom...gods how to say this... my mom's... different. She's ALWAYS worried about her work, so she never really has time to just talk. Mom knows that I'm a demigod and all... but I don't think she cares. I mean, this morning I told my mom bye and that I'd see her after summer was over. She just said, "Ok, honey. Don't die, ok?" I think it was a joke. At least... I'm hoping.
I got to Percy's and he was already there. (He takes the Sophomore bus.)
"BREECY!" Sally yelled. Percy's lucky to have her as a mom.
"Hey, Mrs. Sally."
" 'Sup Tidal?" I heard Percy yell from in his room.
"Hey, Perce!" I yelled back.
We got all our bags together and loaded into the car. Sally drove and Percy sat in the back with me, which was nice since I hadn't seen him in four months.
"So Breecy," Percy started, "how's school? How's life?"
"Hmm. School... been better." I leaned close to him so Sally couldn't here, "Exams last week."
"Ah." He said like he understood. "And life... how would that be? Make any new friends at Goode?"
"Um...no. Not really. I don't exactly fit in."
Percy nodded, "Yeah, but that's what camp's for. Great friends that WON'T try to bring you down."
"And Clarisse," I added.
Percy laughed, "Yeah her, too."
The ride to Half~Blood Hill was pretty smooth from there. We got to the border and told Sally bye. We walked across the border and immediately I started to take it all in. The lake, the woods, the cabins. I loved it! All of a sudden Annabeth practically tackled Percy with a hug.
"Percy! Oh my gods I missed you!"
"Hey Annabeth!" he replied dropping his bags and hugging her back. "How've you been?"
"Amazing!" She said pulling away, "Taking SO many classes!"
"Haha. I believe it."
"Hey Annabeth!" I said. I basically considered Annabeth a sister to me.
"Breecy! How are you?"
I laughed. I didn't really want to get into detail. I mean technically I wanted to say, Great! I only made one locker room explode, and only got attacked a minimum of once a week!
But I just said, "I'm good."
We walked toward the cabins to unpack. Annabeth told us she had to go unpack, herself and that she would see us at dinner.
When we entered the Poseidon cabin, I officially felt like I was back home. I crashed on my bunk and Percy did the same. And for a moment, my life wasn't hectic, I wasn't alone in the world, and I had a home.
And that lasted for about a total of five minutes.
