I may only live once, but once is enough.

#YOLO… I hate that thing. There's no point in it. It's like an excuse for doing something stupid.

Yeah, I know. You're probably all surprised like, "No Way! The SEAWEED BRAIN thinks something's stupid?" But I'm not all fun and games, you know. I'm smarter than I look. No one seems to get that. The name's Percy. Percy Jackson. And I was the savior of Olympus. Twice. But they threw me away like trash. For a freaking son of Hades.

Flashback

It was just another day at camp. I was out canoeing. The day was cloudy though, and the waves seemed a little higher and harsher. Then Thalia came running, and she seemed really freaked out. "Percy! A satyr came back with a new demigod. A bunch of monsters are after them!" I jumped of the canoe and landed clumsily on the ground. "Owwww…" Thalia smirked at me, before pulling me up. "Come on, doofus!" We ran towards the entrance of the camp. A bunch of telekhines, a Hydra and the Minotaur was running towards a satyr and a passed out demigod. I groaned. That guy just doesn't stay dead, does he? Annabeth came up beside me. "About time you got here, Seaweed Brain." I just rolled my eyes and watched the satyr struggle up the hill with the guy slung across his shoulder. "They aren't going to make it." Annabeth glared at me and muttered something under her breath. "What?" Annabeth rolled her eyes and muttered something again. Thalia jabbed me with her elbow. "Quit muttering, Percy." I protested, "That wasn't me!" But then the satyr tripped and fell, and the monsters gained even more ground. I couldn't watch anymore. I pulled out Riptide and ran towards the monsters.

~End of flashback~

The kid's name was Jacob. He got claimed as a son of Hades and everyone treats him nicely. He had looks that would make any girl sigh. He had these dark blue eyes, and a six-pack. He didn't wear as much black as most of the Hades kids did. But he was a complete and utter jerk. I mean, I saved his life and everything, but he just hates me anyways. He always hangs out with my friends and these days, they don't seem to like me at all. Every time I try to talk to someone, they would smile awkwardly then make up a excuse and leave. Everyone except Annabeth, that is.

I tried to tell Annabeth how I felt but she was reading…

It went something like this:

Percy: "Annabeth, Jacob hates me!"

Annabeth: "Mmhmm."

Percy: "…"

Annabeth: *flips a page in her book and continues reading*

Percy: "Sooooo…. Sally died today."

Annabeth: "Mmhmm."

Percy: "I like candy."

Annabeth: "Mmhmm."

Percy: "I read a book today."

Annabeth: "WHAT?!"

Percy: "Nothing. I'm gonna go now…"

Annabeth: "Mmmph."

Soon, I felt like even Annabeth was avoiding me. Then I caught them at it. Jacob and Annabeth were on the beach, making out passionately. I felt my heart drop. I let the box fall out of my hand, and then I walked away. It was clear that no one wanted me. I went inside my cabin and found a newspaper on my bedstand. 'Man and wife found dead in fire.' There was a picture of my mom and Paul, laying side by side, both of them burnt badly. I took a step back and dropped the newspaper. Words were swimming around everywhere but I felt numb. This wasn't happening. No, no, no. I repeated the word over and over again in my head. I knew I couldn't stay here. I was messing everything up. I grabbed a bag and stuffed everything I have in there. I was about to leave but I found I couldn't. To leave without a word seemed cruel. I groaned and pulled out some paper from somewhere. I found a pen and started writing.
