Chapter 1 - the preparation

Percy

"PERSEUS JACKSON!" I woke to the sound of my mother's angry shout. "GET UP NOW. YOU HAVE SCHOOL IN 20 MINUTES!"

I sat up abruptly, banging my head on the wall and groaned. Today was the first day of my second year at Goode high school.

Here are a couple things that you should know about me: 1st of all, I'm a demigod - yeah I know, I didn't believe it either, but I am. My father is the Greek god of the seas, Poseidon. The 2nd thing is that I have never attended the same school for more than a year, ever. It's because I'm the son of one of the 'big three' - the name given to three brothers, Zeus (God of the sky and king of the gods), Poseidon (God of the seas and my dad) and Hades (God of the underworld and the dead) and I attract quite a lot of monsters, occasionally making me blow up things or causing water fountains to explode.

Anyway, as I was saying, this was my first day of my 2nd year at Goode - an achievement that may or may not have to do with the fact that the principal is also my stepdad, Paul Blofis. Not blowfish but Blofis. I used to make that mistake quite a lot when he first started dating my mum; it's a very easy mistake to make.

"PERCY, ARE YOU DRESSED YET?" Came my mum's voice from the kitchen. "Umm, almost. I'll be there in a minute" I lied, scrambling out of bed. I had the quickest shower in the history of the universe, before throwing on some black skinny jeans, a green t-shirt and white vans.

As I walked into the kitchen, I could smell pancakes being cooked and my mum was standing by the stove, applying the blue food colouring.

The blue food was quite a long story. Back when I was younger and didn't know that I was a demigod, my mum was married to a horrible man called Gabe. Since he always reeked of alcohol I called him 'smelly Gabe'. My mum was only married to him because his smell masked me and kept me hidden from monsters.

One day, on my 11th birthday, my mum baked me a blue cake but it went a bit wrong and smelly Gabe said that no food can be blue, so my mum had especially made sure that everything she cooked from then on was blue. That is one of the many reasons that I think that she is amazing - she is stubborn and has a rebellious streak which I have definitely inherited.

"Morning mum" I yawned as I hugged her. She smiled and piled a plate with blue pancakes "you better eat this quickly, you have to leave in five minutes".

I sat down and inhaled the pancakes, causing my mum to give me a disgusted look. I just smiled innocently, grabbed my bag and walked out of the door. I got into the elevator and pressed the bottom button - we lived on the 9th floor of a 15 floor apartment in the middle of New York City.

One of the best things about living in New York is the fact that it's close to camp. Camp half-blood is exactly what it sounds like - it's a special camp for demigods where we train so that we can fight monsters and stuff in the outside world.

Camp half-blood is special for another reason as well - it's where I met Annabeth, my girlfriend. We met when I was 12 and first arrived there. We went on a quest and became best friends pretty much straight away. On my 16th birthday though, we started dating after admitting how we felt about each other.

I miss Annabeth like crazy. She lives all the way in California so I haven't seen her in 2 months! We still talk on the phone but it isn't the same and I haven't tried iris-messaging her since the incident when she was walking down the street and I scared an old lady out of her wits. Oh gods, that had been so embarrassing!

The elevator dinged and I got out and found my car in the parking lot. It was a present from my dad, (yes - Poseidon himself) a sea green jaguar with white leather seats and a convertible roof. It was the .ever.

I got in and started driving to school.

Annabeth

"BRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! BRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! BRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!"

I smashed the 'snooze' button on my alarm clock before I remembered. Today was the first day of school. At that thought I scrambled out of my bed, sprinted into the bathroom and jumped into the shower.

I was going to Goode high school - the same one that Percy goes to, although he doesn't know that I'm coming. I thought that I could surprise him. It had been so hard not to tell him over the phone when he asked me when he would get to see me again.

My dad had been offered a promotion with his job, meaning that he wanted to move to New York to be closer to his office. I was ecstatic because it means that a: I am closer to camp, b: I am closer to Olympus - it's over the Empire State Building and I am the official architect since it got a little destroyed in the Titan war a year ago, and c: I am closer to Percy!

Percy's mum, Sally, doesn't know either but since his step dad Paul is the principal, he does know. I am very glad that he's managed to keep it a secret - today is going to be awesome!

I stepped out of the shower and got dressed into a summery white top, dark blue denim shorts that cut off mid-thigh, white converse shoes and the beautiful owl necklace that Percy had bought me for my 17th birthday. The owl was the symbol for my mother, Athena the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. It was quite ironic though because my mother HATED Percy due to the rivalry she had with his father, Poseidon.

I went downstairs where my step mother, Helen was setting the table. I got along much better with her now, because she had really got used to the fact that I was a demigod and had accepted it. My two younger brothers Bobby and Matthew (they were 9 year old twins) were having an argument about something as usual, my 1 year old little sister Maggie was getting her breakfast everywhere but in her mouth and my dad was looking all over the place for his keys. It was a completely normal morning.

After my dad found his keys (they were in the fruit bowl) and went to work, I sat down and had a piece of buttered toast, before leaving the house with Helen wishing me good luck with my surprise and my brothers making kissing faces behind my back - really?!. I walked to the end of the street and waited for the bus that would take me to school.

So there's my first chapter! I hope you liked it.
