Jack
Do not believe my dad. He's only saying that so you don't discover your awesome hidden powers and become a bigger big shot than him. You may have heard of my father, Percy Jackson, who saved the world like, only two times from evil psychos trying to take over the world. Not a big deal. Even though it was against like, evil or earth itself. Yeah, it's pretty confusing, saving the world from the world… you know just forget about it. I say anything. Don't tell my parents. My name is Jack Jackson (yeah yeah. Jack Jackson. Very funny). I'm twelve years old, and way better than my dad. I saved the world when I was younger, so that makes me better. My seven year old sister, Melissa, the person standing next to me as I'm recording, is telling me to hurry up with the story or else she'll tell our dad what I said. Fine.
It all started when I woke up in our house and realized it was the first day of summer, and this year, I get to go to Camp Half-Blood for the first time as an official "happy camper" (tours aren't exactly the same). Melissa was sitting on me yelling in my ear to wake up. I slapped Melissa into submission and slowly got up. I went to the dinner table in my underwear since I was lazy. "Jack, get dressed, why can't you be more like Melissa?" my mother screamed over the oven, so I naturally ignored her. She saved the world with my dad and she's pretty boss too. Ever heard of Annabeth Chase? She and my dad dated since, the beginning of time. [ow, mom] My mom just slapped me saying that she's not that old, and she had dated my dad for nine years, blah blah blah, whatever, and a bunch of other boring details.
I ate breakfast slowly. You know one of those lazy mornings when you don't feel like doing anything active, then I got dressed and took a shower (no need to take off my clothes, they stay dry if i want them to). It started as a good day so I tried extra hard to keep it that way, no threats to drown my sister for being annoying for a good 30 minutes. We all got into the modern chariot of damnation and started to talk like normal families, well, sort of. One, the drivers only have one eye in total, so everyone is a bit busy crashing into the walls of the car. Two, we are a demigod family so we talk about unusual stuff like: "So how was the quest yesterday" (even though I don't go on quests yet,) and " Can I have a dangerous weapon that nobody my age can have?" (which is one of the most normal sentences demigod can say of my age).
We got off the car/ chariot of damnation, and found some people waiting for us. I was shocked to see, Piper McLean and Jason Grace, with their son, Evan, and their daughter, Claire. Then there was Leo Valdez and Calypso, who doesn't have a last name, with Tyler, Shawn, and Heather. Their three children. Frank Zhang and his wife, Hazel Levesque, must've come all the way from Camp Jupiter in California with the kids. Collin and Ashley Zhang. Wait, wait, wait, who was that girl about a few names back? Oh yeah, Claire. She was outstanding! Holy Poseidon, I'm not exactly wearing the best clothes ever, what if she thought I was stupid looking, ahhhhh! Then I cowardly ran for the lake and jumped in it, yeah, very heroic right? No, it was stupid. I got out, embarrassed, and greeted everyone. A few hi there and a few how's it going there, then the embarrassing hi, your hot! Then the running of the lake again. Well, I blew it, Claire is looking at me like I'm a madman; the perfect way to start camp, right? Anyway, I got a pretty good talk-to from my mom, then a pep talk about girls from dad, which I promptly failed by saying, "Why would I need advice from you? You lost Calypso to Leo of all people and got mom!", then all that ended up with a slap from all the girls at camp.
I was pretty disappointed by all this, I lost my chance at the hottest girl at camp (wait, I just got a glimpse of the Aphrodite cabin, so maybe not), all the girls hate me, and the girls who don't will probably tell their friends which cuts my future connection to any girls, even Aphrodite ones. I kinda also hurt dad's feelings. He's eating donuts by the lake muttering about Mom, Leo, and Calypso. Well, yeah. Then Chiron came (finally,) and led us all to the were the run of the mill cabins, except the added stuff, like the solid gold one (I've gotta get a jack hammer for a piece of it) and the Aphrodite cabin (hot girls, I've said enough).
Then there was the mess hall and the Big House. Although, I was distracted by Claire's awesomeness and couldn't focus much. According to dad, I'm not supposed to date yet… but as the mortals these days say, a lot, " YOLO!" (Apparently it means, you only live once, but technically, that's not true. I mean, Orpheus almost got his babe back alive until... he looked back...) As I was saying… the camp was over all awesome but there were downsides too, such as the schedule (I'm more of a no schedule person) and that girl named Constance Yukimura or something… Umm... Anyway, my sister is getting annoyed with me for taking so long and some asian dude with a bow and quiver with him (gotta ask mom about my weapon…) is walking towards me weirdly… his nametag said his name was Davis Yub or whatever. Anyway… my idiot sister is going to record now so bye and please don't stop reading because of my lame sister's boring you to death with all her smartness and whatnot.
