I don't own PJO!! GIVE IT AWAY
Yeah!! 4th fan fic. I'm still working on Forest in the sky… but I wanted to start this story!!
Not-So-Happy Birthday
I pushed the radio off of the night stand and popped out of bed. Another boring day of school was hot on my heels.
Oh yeah…Almost forgot to introduce ma' self.
My name is Cade. I have a nice little house in Boise, Idaho. An extremely BORING life and a positive attitude. (You can tell from what I've written…huh?) I trudged out of my room and tossed a few eggo's into the toaster and flicked around the channels 'til I found sports center. My sister was sleeping in… (And I didn't bother waking her up…) and my parents were at work. It was left with me and my dogs. All of them stared up at me begging for mini waffles. I couldn't resist.
"GOD!! Frickin' Yankees…" I muttered to my self as I 'Accidentally' dropped a chunk of waffle. Browning, my slim chocolate lab got there first… but Ruger, my hyper black lab pup leaped on him. Shady… My fat lazy one that is supposedly a lab just sort of watched the fight from nearby.
I tossed on some clothes, and grabbed my back pack. I followed my normal route to school, and tried to count how many people looked at me funny. As you guessed… I'm total Mr. Popularity…NOT! I lost count somewhere around fifteen, and held my pride as I caught up to Justin. One of my only friends.
"Hey! Dude!!" He greeted me. "There's a new kid today. He should be here any second…" we both turned to the door. Justin knew all the gossip because inside he was really popular, and EVERYONE liked him. He was a straight a student to… almost immediately as we looked… a kid who looked about sixteen walked in. He had curly hair, and a Rasta cap. He had extremely hairy arms and soft brown eyes. And even though it was summer, he wore jeans and tennis shoes. He looked nervous, so Justin and I went up to him.
"You new?" Asked Justin.
"Yeah…I'm Jesse. Nice to meet you." He spoke.
He shook hands with him and turned to me.
"Nice to meet you to…" He said.
"Yeah…" We shook hands and we walked with Jesse to all of our classes.
…………………………………………………………………
I walked into my house greeted by my dogs. Then a wrapped box hit my face.
"Happy Birthday dork!!" yelled my sister Chandler as I walked in.
"Birthd-OH YEAH!!" Okay…I've had a few stupid moments in my life, but nothing prepared me for that. I forgot that today was my birthday!! I was finally thirteen. Even though I'm not sure that's a good thing.
Now every birthday is fun…unless you eat too much cake, and you start a chain reaction of puking. Seriously! You puke… the kid sitting next to you freaks out and chucks up pizza, then the next…and it goes on and on. But that's past the point. Somehow my parents made this birthday UN-fun. They looked nervous and jumpy the whole time. I just ignored that and opened presents. A new red hot chili pepper album… a stuffed fish (From Chandler…) a chocolate bar, and a new red sox hat. I walked into my room. Okay, I don't want to brag or anything, but I do get EXTREMELY good grades. Straight a's. And I had a knack for solving problems. I also like animals, but one especially. I LOVED owls. I have no clue why, but I do. I relaxed in my bed and listened to some music off of my new sound track. I was planning tomorrow.
Morning routine…
School
football practice
practice bass guitar
Look up videos on youtube.
eat dinner
go to bed
Average.
I met up with Justin like usual, and we went to our first class… social studies.
"Okay class. STOP TALKING!! Today we are going to learn about Greek Mythology. But first I want to see what you know." Mr. Durk looked around.
"Who knows who fought in the Peloponnesian war?" Without thinking, I raised my hand.
"Cade?"
"The Athenians and the Spartans." I said casually. Where the heck did that come from?
"Correct…" The class started whispering. I noticed Jesse had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Well, Mr. Cade. Do you know one of the main heroes who fought Troy?"
"Achilles…" I said without thinking.
"How about the Minor god of the sun…"
"Which one?"
"The one who starts with an 'M'…"
"Medea." The class was in an up roar now.
I could go all day, but thunder sounded in the distance, and rain tapped on the roof.
The average rain storm morphed into a demon storm in seconds, and got worse every minute. It was like something was fighting with the sky. It was lunch, and Jesse caught up to me.
"Hey Cade? Are you ADHD or dyslexic?" I raised an eyebrow at the random question.
"I have controlled ADHD, but I'm not dyslexic." Jesse thought for a second.
"Do you have weird dreams a lot?"
"Yeah…Why are you asking me these questions?"
"Cade, I think you are someone special… but I don't know…" Thunder roared like a lion, and a brilliant flash of lightning struck the road across the street.
The rest of the day went pretty normal, and I got as soaked as a fish as I walked home. But the thing was, I never GOT home. I (Not even in a thousand years!) Wasn't ever prepared for what happened next.
A LITTLE BORING…BUT BEAR WITH ME!! THE NEXT CHAPTER IS VERY EXCITING…AND THEN WE CHECK ON AUDRIA.
