Percy
I woke up to the sound of raindrops against my bedroom's window. I find it quite amusing, though; that it would rain at the day I would be leaving home for boarding school. I've been hearing a lot of meaning about rain but I only believed on one thing; I believe that rain means new beginnings.
After freshening up and getting ready, I head downstairs. As I was descending the stairs, I heard my mom and my step-dad, Gabe, having a dispute on a heated argument. Not wanting to be caught in between, I waited until either one of them calms down.
I've always hated Gabe. He's been a disrespectful, abusive and cruel step-dad. If there is an award for the "Most horrible step-father ever", I would nominate him and vote for him billion times. I hate him! Oh, wait. Correction, I loathe him! He is nothing but a piece of trash, always giving mom a hard time. He was barely sober, for fuck's sake!
Sensing that their argument goes on and on, I decided to interrupt them.
"Hi mom, Gabe"
"Good morning, Percy! Are you all set?" My mom sweetly smiled at me. I'll miss her smile. The next time I'll see her smile will be on Thanksgiving. Good thing I've brought a picture of my mom and I with me.
"Yes! Finally! The little scum will leave my humble abode" Gabe snickered.
Before I could retaliate, my mom gently pushed me out. Noting that my luggage is already in the trunk of the car, I grumbly walked towards the passenger's seat. I stared out the window while mom drove me to my new school.
It was a two-hour drive so by the time we arrived, it was already lunch time. There was this cozy diner two blocks from school so my mom and I went there. A waitress went and took our orders. As we wait, I can't help but think how this school year will go. Suddenly, my mom interrupted my thoughts.
"Percy, forget what Gabe said. He won't be the only one leaving his "humble abode"" My mom gave me a wicked grin.
"W-What?!" I yelped gaining the attention of a few customers. Giving a silent gesture of apology, my attention went back to my mom.
"When? Does he know?" I asked my mom excitedly. Finally, Gabe will be out of my family.
"Soon, Percy. I'll tell you when the time comes. Hopefully, we'll be spending Thanksgiving without Gabe." My mom happily answered.
"I can't for Thanksgiving!"
"I'll miss you, Percy" My mom said heavyhearted.
"I'll miss you too, mom"
After paying the bills, my mom drove me to Olympus High, my new school. I'm amazed by how huge Olympus High is. My mom dropped me in front of my dorm building.
My mom helped me get my luggage out of the trunk, which are two huge suitcases and a backpack. I faced my mom and hugged her. This could be my last hug for her until Thanksgiving.
"Be careful out there, Percy. Try to have as many friends you can have as possible, ok?" My mom reminded as she hugged me back.
"I know, mom. Also, be careful with that Gabe."
"See you on Thanksgiving? Take care!"
"Same to you, mom"
I waited until mom drove off before I went inside the dorm lobby.
If I was amazed by the exterior of the building, I can say I was mesmerized by the interior. Like, seriously! As I continue to admire the interior of the building, I kept walking forward until I hit something hard. I was expecting to see another person when I noticed I bumped into the reception desk. How embarrassing!
"Name please." The receptionist asked.
"Percy Jackson"
She typed my name into the computer and after a few minutes, she handed me a key.
"Room 310"
I walked into the elevator and waited. Good thing there are elevators here. I don't know how I would carry these heavy bags! I pressed the button '3' which says I'm off to the 3rd floor. Once I stepped out of the elevator, I sneaked on the hallway, not wanting to wake anyone up; as if someone would be asleep at this time.
"308 … 309 … ah ha!" And here I am, outside my home while I stay here at Olympus High.
As I entered the room, I was greeted by a common room. A flat screen TV hang on the wall, with a wide couch situated in front of the TV. A center table placed near the wide couch. As I close the door, two people emerged from the area where the beds are, a blonde and an elf. Four beds are placed in a huge area of the room. Wow! This dorm room really is huge!
"Welcome to the Argo II! And I am the Supreme Commander of the Argo II, Leo Valdez" An elf-guy exclaimed, with an impish smile. He has curly black hair, dark brown eyes, pointy ears, and boy does he look like an elf!
"Uhm, what's the Argo II?"
"That's what Leo calls this place. I'm Jason Grace, by the way", the blonde guy said. He has, well, blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and a small scar on the corner his lips. "I'll ask him about that later"Unlike Leo, this guy is tall! Maybe an inch taller than me. Also, he has athletic build, like I do.
"Nice to meet you, Jason and Leo. I'm Percy Jackson" I extended my arm forward. Jason shook my arm, and Leo, well; he flung himself toward me and greeted me with a bro hug.
"I thought this a 4-bed room. Where's the other guy?" I asked.
"Frank ran out of the room when Leo tried to use the stove over there. I think that dude's scared of fire or something" Jason merrily answered.
"I think that was quite funny though. I, a 5'6" scrawny guy scared an athletic-built guy with fire!" Leo guffawed.
"Dude! You might as well kill him with fire! It's not funny, you know. He may have traumatic experiences with fire or something." Jason scolded Leo.
"Yeah, Leo. Listen to your big bro!" I tried not to laugh. Seriously, Jason acts like he is a prince; so disciplined. "How long has it been when Frank ran out?" I seriously asked both of them.
"Now that you asked, he ran out few minutes before you came. Have you seen him, Percy?" Jason thoughtfully asked.
"No. I haven't met anyone aside from you two and the dorm receptionist, though"
"Really? Come on, Leo. Let's find him"
"What? Why me?! Oh, come on, Jason! I have lots of stuff to build"
"No you're coming with me. You accidentally ran the dude out." Jason pulled Leo out of the room.
And now, I'm alone. I guess I'll take this time to settle my things.
