a/n hello by now I'm sure you've realized how much music influences my writing since all my songs have music in them(music is my life), well here's another! It's the typical Percy is a pop star kind of story. Most of the songs will be Jason Mraz because I LOVE him! So enjoy…or DIE! Just kidding
Chapter 1
Percy POV
As I grabbed my guitar and walked on stage I was greeted by the familiar blinding lights and screaming fans. Without a word, I stepped up to the mike stand,
I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter
In this ge-generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top,
Mix and I mingle
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
Ha La La La La
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha La La La La
It's all about the wordplay
Ha La La La love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops,
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay
Ha La La La La
L-listen closer to the verse I lay
Ha La La La La
It's all about the wordplay
Ha La La La love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
Well I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
That always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the rhymin' and the timin'
Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're climbin'
'Till I'm running out of air
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head?
Are you listening to a single word I've said?
Ha La La La La
Listen closer to the words I say
Ha La La La La
I'm Stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah The Mr. A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I'm stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because of
The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love
For the Mr. A to Z they say
is all about the wordplay
I performed a few more songs then when the concert was over I went to find some Advil for my pounding headache. That's the worst part of my job, the headaches I get from the loud music and fans and the stress. Maybe I should introduce myself…
My name is Perseus Jackson, but I prefer Percy. I'm about six foot one and I have a natural tan. I get my looks from my dad, we both have black hair and green eyes the exact color of the sea. When we get mad they get dark like the color of the ocean during a storm. When we are calm or happy they are the color of the sea when it is calm and the sun is setting. According to all the gossip magazines my eyes are my best feature. My favorite color is blue and I'm an amazing swimmer. Hmmm, I feel like I'm forgetting something, something important…oh now I remember! I'm a world famous pop star, I'm not stuck up about it though…at least I don't think I am. I grew up in a relatively poor home. My mother is Sally Jackson and she is the nicestperson in the world but she had the worst luck. The only good thing that ever happened to her was meeting my dad. My dad is Poseidon Jackson, the famous marine biologist. My parents weren't married before I was born, when they found out my mom was expecting me they got engaged. About a month before they got married my dad had to go on a trip and was lost at sea, not dead but lost. So, my mom had to raise me on her own and even though they never got married she still used my dad's last name. When I developed an interest in music she worked multiple jobs so I could take guitar lessons, if she hadn't been willing to do that for me I wouldn't be where I am now. On my twelfth birthday I got the best present ever, my dad came home. He had been stranded on an island in the Atlantic Ocean for eight years. He only survived because the natives on the island accepted him into their tribe. One day he heard a ship and ran to the coast, he flagged them down and told them who he was and they brought him back to civilization. He spent the next four years traveling around, trying to find my mom and me. I was just about o blow out the candles on my blue birthday cake when the doorbell rang. When my mom opened the door she immediately knew who he was and jumped into his arms. I on the other hand had never met him and was therefore VERY confused about who this strange man was and why my mom was so excited to see him. Now, four years later, they are happily married and I have the close, happy family I always wanted, despite the fact that my dad and I have to travel a lot.
Now I'm 16 and I want to get the high school experience I missed while I was on my world tour. My mom is really happy that I'm going to be staying home to go to school; she never said anything but I could always tell she was upset that I didn't go to high school. Tomorrow I start my junior year at Goode High School with my cousins, Nico and Bianca Di Angelo and Thalia Grace.
Thalia is also 16 and she's the daughter of my dad's younger brother, Zeus. He owns a few airlines. Her mom was a TV star in the eighties; she even had one of those big fluffy hairdos! She died a few years ago in a car accident. Thalia had a brother, Jason, but he went missing when Thalia and I were four. After Thalia's mom died Zeus remarried and his new wife, Hera, hates our whole side of the family, especially Thalia.
Nico is 15 and Bianca is also 16. They are my Uncle Hades' kids; he's my dad's older brother. Their mother was Maria Di Angelo, she died when lightning struck the tree next to their house and a part of the house collapsed on her. Uncle Hades remarried a woman named Persephone and though she didn't like Nico, she was pretty fond of the rest of us. Nico and Bianca both have olive colored skin, black hair, and dark eyes. Nico wears a lot of black and skulls but insists he isn't emo. Bianca wears a lot of silver and she almost always wears her favorite green hat.
Apparently Thalia and Bianca are excited to set me up with their friends and that makes me a bit nervous but I'll get through it. They have also been bothering me about joining band and the swim team. I'll probably try out for the swim team but I'm going to school to take a break from music so I probably won't do band. I'm definitely not looking forward to being swarmed by girls but my cousins promised to keep people away from me.
Crap it's already midnight! I have an hour long ride back home and I have to get up at six tomorrow!
a/n tada!
