OFF TO COLLEGE

A/N: So I started college, and I was like, "Wow! What would happen if Percy and the gang go to college? I know they'd spend all year at Camp Half-Blood, but it would be fun to twist the plot around a bit."

Hope you like it! And…

Luke is actually alive in this one. Aww…sorry

Disclaimer: WOULDN'T IT BE TOTALLY AWESOME IF WE ALL OWNED PJO? Yeah, it would be totally awesome!

CHAPTER 1: THE ACCEPTANCE LETTER

Percy's POV

I was still stuck in my mom's apartment with her and Paul Blofis. I'm saying I don't like them. I'm saying sometimes they get on my case and I get on theirs, and we all get annoyed with each other.

It wasn't until February that I got an acceptance from the Demigod College. I kind of looked at it and thought: Why would I get a letter into college? I'd been kicked out of every school I've ever attended—well except for Goode.

I opened it at the dinner table so Mom and Paul could hear the news.

Dear Peter Johnson (I know your real name is Percy Jackson, but I'm so lazy that I just decided to annoy you, like you annoy me…like all the time),

Congratulations! You have been accepted into the Demigod College, the college where all demigods eventually go, no matter which other schools you've applied to!

At this college, you will learn the fundamentals of archery, crafting weapons and armory, and fighting skills. We will provide dorms for you, free of charge. Actually, the whole college is free, which is disappointing because I ran out of money to buy Diet Coke, and I needed some. Oh, well, I guess I could just wave my hand and it'll appear.

Please print and sign your name below the line. We're kind of forcing you to go here anyway, so you don't really have a choice.

Ha-ha, sucker!

Sincerely,

Dionysus, Olympian Council #12,

Official President of Demigod College

My handwriting sucked, but I printed and signed my name below the line as Mr. D instructed. Then I put it in a returning envelop and sent it off to him.

"My baby's going to college!" Mom yelled, standing up and giving me a hug. "I had total faith in you, honey!"

"I did, too," said Paul, "even though you go a C- in your American Literature class."

I glared at the pair of them. "Okay, the smothering can wait until I get to my dorm, right?"

"Yeah," said Paul. "It's her you have to worry about." He gestured to my mom, who was in tears. They were all over my new shirt that read: I SURVIVED POSEIDON'S RAGE—MOUNT OLYMPUS.

Dionysus' POV

Stupid campers going off to this dumb Demigod College crap! Gods, I hate my job!

I'd asked Zeus for a job that wouldn't require any work, and he told me the president's position needed to be filled, so I took it. Little did I know that I had to do ALL the work and not just some.

There was a knock on the door, and Chiron walked in. "Dionysus," he said, "we can't have you just sitting on your fat you-know-what all day, can we?"

"I guess you're right, Chiron," I sighed dramatically. "What are you teaching?"

"The Basics of Greek Mythology," Chiron replied. "Some of these campers still don't know that Artemis is older than Apollo?"

"She is?"

"Yes. You didn't know that either? My goodness, you should probably brush up before the school year starts."

"Chiron, I'm a FIGURE IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY! I don't need to know all these stupid facts!"

Thunder rumbled in the distance.

I glowered out the window. "Oh, shut up, Zeus!"

A/N: Okay! What did you guys think so far? Go easy on me. I haven't been on here for a few years, so it'll be weird getting back on. But I've missed it so much.

I actually did go to Mount Olympus in Wisconsin Dells this summer and I have a shirt that says I SURVIVED POSEIDON'S RAGE. I didn't go into it; I just wanted a T-shirt that proves I'd been there!

In American Literature, I actually got an A in it, but we all know how Percy is, so we'll just pretend that he did poorly and his class.

Oh, yeah, that "Sea of Monsters" movie was better than the "Lightning Thief" in my opinion. REVIEWS ARE WELCOME, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS STORY. I want to make the gods teachers. I know it's already been done, but I need some ideas.

-Icy!
