A fading god redone! I made some changes from my original version. Hope you all like~

Percy's POV

For the first time in the entire school year I heard my alarm clock go off. Groaning I rolled out of bed. I yawned and headed into the shower. As the water ran over me I felt more awake. I walked back to my room and changed into a gray t-shirt with a surfer on it and jeans. As I was packing my school bag I found the sand dollar my father had given me on my 15th birthday. I fell back onto my bed staring at it. I turned it around in my hands. What is this for? 'spend it wisely?' what did that mean?

I heard knocking at my door. "Percy! Time to get out of be-" My mom entered the room and I sat up. "Oh! Your already up. I guess your excited for your last day of school. Tomorrow I'm taking you back to Camp Half-Blood! AND you haven't seen a monster all year! Aren't you excited? I made blue pancakes!" She scurried out of the room. I got up to follow her. I thought to myself – didn't she say the same thing on my last day of Merriweather? I laughed to myself. I walk to the dining table and ate my breakfast.

"Honey, whats that?" She pointed to the sand dollar that I was still clutching in my hand.

"Oh...Gift from dad. I got it on my 15th birthday. He told me to spend it wisely. What can I buy with a sand dollar?" I looked up at her for an answer. Her face told me she had none. The doorbell rang. I walked to the door to see Rachel in the door way. If you didn't already know, Rachel helped me and Annabeth on a quest into the labyrinth. She can see through mist so she was my monster look out. I grabbed my bag. I hugged my mom good bye and walked to school.

As we were walking it began to rain. Rachel ran for cover but I just laughed. Water wouldn't wet me unless I wanted it too. She scowled at me and pushed me into a puddle. I laughed again emerging completely dry. She tried to push me again but this time I grabbed her arm and pulled so that she fell in instead. She was fuming. I cracked up again. By the time we reached school she was drenched to the bone.

As soon as we stepped through the door the bell rang. Rachel ran to our next class. I decided to walk. Why should I run? I was failing all my classes except gym anyway (who could fail gym seriously? Its not that hard show up in uniform and kick or throw the ball at least once!). It had barely been a minute since the bell rang when Vice Principal Dikkens grabbed me by the shoulder. "Do you want after school detention on your last day of school Mr. Jackson?" I shook my head then bolted as fast as I could to class. If Rachel hadn't assured me that Dikkens was 100% human I would have thought he was a manticore. He was just plane evil like that.

I made it through the day. Not one explosion. Or surprise attack. When I got to my apartment I tried to open the door with my key but it was already unlocked. I walked in side to find my mom already home. "Hey mom!Whatcha looking at?" she scrambled to pick up all the papers on the coffee table but one piece of paper dropped onto the floor. It was from Goode. What do they want? I didn't destroy the school! I opened it. It read:

Dear Parent of Perseus Jackson,

Your Son is not welcome at Goode next year. He failed more than the four allowed courses. We wish you and your son the best of luck next year.

Vice Principal Dikkens

I ripped up the paper. Oh my gods! That man hates me! Now I wish he was a manticore! "Honey, did something happen at school? Where you attacked? Oh please tell me they are just using your grades as an excuse!"i turned to look at my mom. She didn't seemed worried. "No mom. I wasn't attacked. I actually flunked out of school. And ya know what? Its actually pretty cool. For once I didn't get kicked out of school cause I blew it up!" I smiled. My mother started laughing and sent me to my room to pack for camp.

A couple of hours later I had I arrived at camp half blood.

I hugged my mom goodbye and promised to send her lots of Iris-messages. I jogged down the hill where I met Grover. He ran up and hugged me. "Dude, You made it back! Your not dead!" He had this grin that spread from one cheek to the other with his teeth blaring through it. I couldn't help laughing. "G-Man! Stop smiling. And yes, I am not dead. But I did get kick out of Goode." Then someone jumped me. I grabbed Riptide from my pocket a twirled around.

"Come down Seaweed brain. Its only me." Annabeth smiled and hugged me. "So whats this I hear that you got kicked out of Goode? Any monsters?"

I laughed. "No, believe it or not I wasn't attacked once this past school year. I actually flunked out!" I must have seemed proud because this was the next thing Annabeth did: she hit me on the backside of my head and said "Whats there to be proud about?"

She smiled and we all walked towards my cabin. When we walked past the Athena cabin, Annabeth headed inside. We waved goodbye, but Grover began to pester me with questions.

"Dude, When are you gonna tell her?" Grover raised an eyebrow.

"Tell her what?" Damn that empathy link.

"I get those vibes. Percy, you like Annabeth."

"Grover, I do not like Annabeth. Ok its just a little awkward since mount St. Helens. Ok?"

"Oooooo! What happened?" We arrived at my cabin.

"G-man. Gotta go! Tell you all about it later!"

He called after me. "You can't dodge the question forever! I will find out! Mark my words!" I slamed the door. Dinner came and went. I was tired. I fell asleep as soon as my head hi the pillow. For once in a long time, I drempt.

Ok, readers. I think this came out a whole lot better the second time around. Constructive criticisms appreciated. See you all in the next chapter!
