CH 1

Every Tuesday I walk home from school. It was sort of boring but I didn't mind it; I had ADHD so little things like bees and flowers distracted me. But because summer was near it was really hot: 190 degrees (at least I think it is)! I hadn't eaten lunch and felt like passing out. The street I use to go home had absolutely no shade, so I took another way home. It was less common and longer but it beat staying in the sun. I saw some teenage kids behind me. Huh, I didn't know people lived on this street. They were loud; it wasn't easy trying to ignore them. The kid with messy brown hair and green eyes kept continuously clicked his pen (A/N I know he doesn't have a click pen but what would a regular pen sound like?) and a blond haired girl hissed 'stop that' and 'seaweed brain!' (I would've laughed at that if I wasn't sweaty and tired) All while the other boy next to them chewed on… a can?

Click Percy! *crunch* click Stop that! click *crunch* PUT THAT AWAY!

I really wish I didn't have ADHD. If I didn't I wouldn't get a heart attack as the boy (Percy?) put a cap on top of a glistening sword until it reduced into a pen. I stared in shock trying to find a logical reason when suddenly:

"It's not what you think!" Percy blurted out.

"Shut up! said the blonde girl "If you weren't playing with riptide and just waited-"

The other kid next to them bleated-wait-bleated? The heat is really getting to me.

"Um, guys" The bleater, I mean weird laugher, mumbled.

"WHAT, GROVER?" They both yelled, obviously mad

Grover pointed at me and my instinct told me to run ,which I did.

Almost to my house…. Grab my key….. Dang it! Dropped my back pack. In the split second I made a grab for it but Blondie (don't know her name yet, don't want to) held it up high.

"I know karate!" I screamed. In fact I didn't know a thing about karate but the punch I gave Percy would've made Jackie Chan proud.

I'M FREEEEE! I wish. Even with that distraction she was smart enough to grab my arm while Percy yelled "Hey!".

Blondie held on tightly "Wait, we're not going to hurt you. We just want to talk. No joking around, right guys?

They both nodded their heads as if forced to. I couldn't blame them though. She was smart and scary.

"I'm Annabeth" she continued as if this was perfectly normal to tell a complete stranger "That's Percy and Grover"

"We're what you call half bloods" Percy added

"Is that a cult or something?" I asked

Percy smiled "Hmm, first time I heard that. No, do you know who the Greek gods and goddesses are?

"Yeah, there's twelve of them and each control something about the earth right?"

"Exactly-

"But if that's just a myth" I cut in "So what's your point"

Annabeth sighed "Let me continue please! My point is that they're not myths they're real and in America right now"

I had to laugh at this. They were really good at acting

"But we're serious! You have ADHD right and dyslexia? All half bloods are like that." said Grover.

I wonder how they knew that. Did I post anything on the internet? Not that I remember.

"Judging by your face you do have ADHD and dyslexic. A half blood is the child of a god and a mortal. Do you live with your mom or dad?" Annabeth said all this in a voice that I couldn't argue with.

"Both! Now can you please let go of my arm?" I asked. This was getting creepy.

She let go, puzzled.

She asked "You mean your dad or mom with your step dad or mom?"

"No, mom and dad. Unless I have an invisible parent that's it. Nada. Goose egg. ZERO!" I screamed the last word at them.

And with that happy note I walked home, opened the door and laid down and went to sleep on the couch
