Hello, My name is Austin-Dean. I am the author of this story and I want to tell you what my time as a member of the fantastic world of Percy Jackson would be like. if you want to talk please feel free to IM me.

It is the May twentieth in two thousand and eleven it is nearing the end of the school year. I am looking forward to the school trip to the museum; there is a huge section of ancient Greek things on display. I have a problem with English class the words blur together while giving me a headache. Thanks to Mr. Burner I am passing the class, he got me interested in ancient mythology my favorite is Greek then Roman then Egyptian along with Japanese, finally is the legends of King Arthur. I do really good at history I enjoy the wars and the discoveries in science. Even though I am somewhat fat I enjoy gym class, I am slowly losing my fat.

I get out of my moms nineteen sixty-seven Chevy impala and head into school, my first period class is Home Eck with Mrs. Ella, we are learning how to repair clothes. From there I head to art class with Mr. Osborn, I am working on clay pots that the teacher can fire in the class's kiln. In third period, we make fried ice cream with the help of Mrs. Ella who also teaches Home Eck. The rest of the day goes by until I get to English the last class of the day.

After I give Mr. Burner my essay on the Odyssey with Odysseus, he has us watch the old version of Clash of the Titans. I learn every myth ever ledged I can find, from the Spartans to Achilles and the Trojan War. One day a new kid named Grover shows up to class, he is a nice guy but his crutches make him slow. I see him being bullied by the James Dillon Quarter back on the football team; I run up and push James over causing him to focus on me instead of Grover.

Then Mrs. Dodds walks over to stand behind Dillon with a smirk that I frankly do not like. She drones on about how young men should not push each other and so she gives me detention after school. I go to lunch to sit by myself again when I see a girl with red hair and freckles sitting in the corner crying. I walk over to her and I sit down next to her, she cries for a long time before she sees me sitting there.

"What do you want?" She says with tears running down her pale skin.

"I want to know why a pretty girl like you is crying." I tell her.

"Every one thinks im ugly." She says crying more.

"I don't think you are ugly Nancy, I think you are kind of cute." I say whispering the last part, but Nancy herd it anyway.

She gives me a kiss on the cheak and walks away. I hang out with Grover during the last class then I report to dention with Mrs. Dunlap. Mrs. Dunlap is a kind lady and always gives me hard candy when she sees me. She tells me that I remind her of her son, I can tell she misses him a lot. I notice that Nancy is also in detention I wonder what she did. The hour passes quickly so I get my homework done except English.

"So what did you do this time?" Nancy asks me with a small smirk.

"I defended Grover from one of the football players." I tell her.

"It is good that you defend people, because most wont." Nancy says.

"Are you excited for the trip to the museum on Friday?" I ask her.

"Kind of, I mean it gets us out of school for a day." Nancy says.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" I ask her.

"That would be nice, Thanks Austin." Nancy says with a smile plastered on her face.

We walk for a couple blocks then I hear Nancy's stomach growl in hunger, she tells me that she did not eat lunch. I offer to get her something to eat at the coffee shop on the corner, she tells me that sounds nice. She sits at a booth as I head to the counter to get the order, the lady at the counter looks like she is in high school. I order Nancy and me a Green Tea and a breakfast croissant; she tells me that it will be seven dollars and fifty cents.

I take out my wallet and I give her the money and go sit with Nancy. I look at Nancy and I see that her hair comes down to her chin, her eyes are a bright green and her freckles are prominent across her the bridge of her nose. I notice she is getting red in the cheeks then I realize that she caught me staring. Suddenly my cheeks feel warm and I cannot look her in the eyes, but I look down when I feel something touch my hand. When I look down, I see that Nancy is holding onto my hand and my cheeks get even warmer.

I thank god that the lady brought us our food and drinks, and I sit there sipping on my Green Tea. Nancy thanked me for the food then we walk onwards. We reach her house then I walk her up the steps, she uses her key to get in and asks me if I want to come in. I tell her I can only stay for and hour but she seems happy with it. She introduces me to her mom who is a firefighter for the city then she drags me upstairs to show me her bedroom.

She turns the bronze knob on the door and it swings inwards, the room is somewhat messy but the falls are painted a nice blue color and her bed is huge. I sit at her desk and she sits on her bed, we talk a lot but I do not mind. When it is time for me to head home, she hugs me tight and gives me a kiss on the cheek, I walk home with a stupid grin on my face but I do not care.

Nancy's Point of View

I wave good-bye to Austin as I see him walk down the steps and on to home, I smile at the silly grin on his smug face. I walk back inside and help my mom make dinner tonight. For some reason I feel really happy and my dad notices it.

"So honey who is that boy who brought home tonight? He seems like a nice young man." Mom says to me.

"His name is Austin Mom, me and him are friends from school. He walked me home and bought me a tea and a croissant scence I did not eat lunch." I say to her.

"Well I saw how he looks at you and it was the same way I looked at your mom when we first met." Mom tells me as we serve the spaghetti.

After we get dinner cleaned up, my mom has to go to the fire station for a meeting so I head to bed excited to see Austin tomorrow at school.

Austin's Point of View

I get home and say hi, I love you to my mom I get some dinner and go to bed before Gabe can get home fro work at his garage. According to Grover he smells like moldy pizza beer and bad bo, trust me his breath is worse than his beatings. He smells like he never herd what a toothbrush is used for. I hear my bedroom door open and I see Gabe standing there with a beer bottle in his greasy hand.

"You worthless little shit, if it wasn't for you I could actually get some but Sally won't because she thinks you will hear us. Well I am going to solve that problem tonight by cutting of your fucking ears." He says to me slurring his words.

I grab my baseball bat and swing at his chest but he is so fat that it does not really hurt him. He laughs at my expression and swings his beer bottle at my head. The bottle hit me in the side of the head knocking me down, I feel really angry then suddenly there is a knock at the apartment door. Gabe leaves to answer it, which gives me time to lock and barricade my door.

When I open my eyes, I see that it is the morning so I peek my head out from behind my door and I see the coast is clear. I quickly get dressed and eat breakfast before the school bus gets here.
