Percys POV
Hi my name is Percy Jackson Im a first year in a private highschool, I moved to this town recentley so I don't
know anyone who will be at my school so it's gonna be tough for me but I planned on giving it my best.
"Percy get up" My mom Sally called but I've been ready for an hour now. I walked out of my room and my mom said
"Percy your gonna be late hurry up"
"Mom I'm already ready I'm leaving now so don't worry" I said grabbing an apple and my keys to the apartment
we where in and headed outside. I walked to the school it was only ten minutes away, As I was walking I saw
some people wearing my school uniform gang up on another kid wearing the same thing.
"Please just leave me alone" said the kid.
"Not until you give us your lunch money punk" one of the bullies said.
"Fine j..just don't hurt me" said the kid reaching into his Pocket fishing for his money.
"Hey leave him alone" I shouted *Crap what I do* I thought I had no way to defend myself let alone someone else
"Oh yeah and what are you gonna do about it" said the tallest most likely there leader.
"I'll kick the crap out of you" I said *Dammit Percy, what are you saying* I thought it was like I had no
control of what I was saying.
"Yeah that would be a sight" said the shortest of the three.
"So kid come on kick the crap out of us" the leader said arms arching to either side giving me an open invitation
to try. I ran like hell at him dropping my bag and clenching my fist he went to grab it but right before my
fist connected with his ready hand I turned mid run and spun through the air elbowing him in the face sliding
under another one when I landed and rolling kicking him in the ass and jumped up just as the third swung at me
I grabbed his fist and using his momentum swung around and kneed him in the kidney. All three men where down in
under ten seconds I grabbed my bag and went over to the kid and squat down to me level with his face.
"Hey man you okay" I asked concerned.
"Yeah thanks, How did you do that" he asked. I stood up and reached out my hand he grabbed it and I pulled him up
"No idea it just felt natural" I said
"Kicking the crap out of three of the top martial art club members felt natural" he said
"Apparently, Name's Percy by the way" I said putting my hand out.
"Grover" he said shaking my hand.
"Well Grover it seems like we are at the same school" I said
"So it does but I've never seen you before" he said.
"I'm new I just moved to town" I said
"Oh well in that case if your ever looking for a friend you got one in me" he said smiling.
"Yeah making friends, guess kicking ass is always a good first impression" I said laughing at the end.
"As long as your doing for the right reason yes" he said very seriously.
"Yeah man I know, never use violence unless necessary" I said.
"Good because I like you but I couldn't be your friend if you used violence to get your way" he said
"Nah man I'm a kind person until just now I didn't even know I could fight" I say.
"So you just threatened them and kicked there asses without knowing if you could really do it" he said
"Yes now let's head to class" I said hearing a bell ring.
"We still got ten minutes till the next bell so let me introduce you to someone" he says.
"Oh and this someone who might he be" I said taking a peace of candy out of my pocket and popping into my mouth
I offered one to Grover as well.
"She not he and her name is Thalia she's a first year like me and I suppose you are one to" he said and I nodded
"She was captain of the middle school archery team and trying out for the one they have in school as well" he says
"Cool so when can I met her" I ask.
"Right now" a voice from behind said and I just rolled forward on instinct moving into a fighting stance.
"Whoa man calm down" she said holding up her hands. I straightened.
"Sorry about that" I said "Name's Percy and I presume your Thalia" I said looking her over she was beatiful but
in a gothic way she was dressed in her shcool uniform but everything else was black she even wore gloves.
her eyes where an electiric blue, over all beatiful but not my type.
"Nice to meet you Percy and if I wanted to hurt you I would have done it with a bow an arrow a hundred feet
away" she said winking at me.
"Sorry I guess I'm a little jumpy" I said and Grover chimed in.
"Thalia you should have seen this dude I was getting mugged for my lunch money like usual when this guy shows
up and kicks three guys asses in ten seconds" he said smiling at me.
"Huh how much they get off you Grover" she asked fishing for something in her pocket she hauled out a wallet
*Does she normally give this guy money* I thought.
"Nothing Perce here stopped them before they got a chance" Grover said still smiling.
"Well then Percy looks like we're both in your debt" she said.
"Why are you in my debt" I ask "And does he get jumped a lot" I said pointing at Grover he frowned at that.
"I'm in your debt because I usually end up having to pay for this guys lunch and I guess that answers your
second question as well" she said and smiled at me.
"Oh Grover what class you in" she said turning around looking at him.
"1-B you" he said.
"I'm in 1-B as well how about you Percy" she asked.
"Yeah Perce what class you in" Grover said.
"First don't call me Perce it's Percy and if you have to be formal about anything Perseus, and second I'm in
the same class as you two" I said
"Cool so we all gonna sit next to each other, Wait your full name is Perseus" he said tripping up in himself.
"As in like Greek mythology Perseus" he said
"Yes if you want to look at it like that" I said
"Dude that's awesome maybe your a reincarnation of him or something and that's why you can fight like that" he said
poking me as if I was some alien.
"Who knows maybe now lets head to class" I say as the next bell rang.
"So Perce will you sit next to us" Grover said walking into the class.
"I suppose but won't the teacher move us, and I said stop calling me Perce" I said
"Yeah the teacher will move us by tomorrow but we can sit where ever for today" Thalia said so we all sat down
I looked around there where people of all kinds tall and short, muscular guys and nerdy guys, the girls in this
class all looked pretty cute even the ones with nerdy glasses managed to make them look cute. I let out a sigh.
"Something wrong Perce" Grover asked
"Dammit Grover I might as well stop trying to get you to call me Percy shouldn't I" I said
"Yes it would make things easier" he said laughing.
"And for something being wrong, no everything is just fine it's just I fell odd here that's all" I say
"That's because your new you'll fit in soon enough" Thalia said I kept scanning the room.
"Percy what are you doing" Grover asked
"I say he's already checking out the girls and the competition" Thalia said
"Ha-ha very funny, no I just want to get a look at every one..." I trailed off as I connected eyes with a
beautiful girl she had blonde hair with princess curls and striking eyes but when I looked into them they seemed
sad, she was smiling so no one could really tell unless you can read people I wanted to go over there and ask
what was wrong but I knew that would make me seem like kind of creep or weirdo to the people around her, she
caught my eye and quickly looked away.*dammit did I scare her or she shy no that can't be it she's surrounded by
people maybe she's scared of men* I thought.
"Perce what's wro... Oh you got your eye on Annabeth huh, you poor, poor fool" Grover said
"What don't tell me she's in this class dammit" Thalia said.
"Calm down girl it's not like your next to each other" Grover said.
"So what's the story here" I asked amused with how Thalia reacted.
"Her and Thalia used to be friends but the went there separate ways last year and Annabeth ended up stealing
Thalia's boyfriend" Grover said.
"Close Grover she never stole him he cheated on me but when we made him choose he choose her she broke up with him
the next day and came crawling back to me but I left him there on the floor" she said.
"So I don't see why you hate each other" I say
"Because she knew that I was going out with him" she said getting mad.
"Okay I'll leave it at that" I said and she calmed down.
"Thank you" she said, the teacher walked in and wrote his name on the bored Mr. Zeus he wrote Grover started laughing.
"Dude what's so funny" I asked
"You and Mr. Zeus" he said I looked at him blankly.
"Dude Zeus is the godly parent of Perseus" he said and laughed again I laughed to.
"Okay class... " the teacher started when he noticed me and Grover laughing.
"You two what's so funny" he said pointing at us.
"Nothing sir it's just that my friend here is named Perseus" Grover said and I fell out of my seat laughing
as he went on.
"and your name being Zeus well it's just funny that's all"
"How so" the Teacher asked.
"Because..Because Perseus is the first Greek demi-god and Zeus...Zeus was his Godley parent so having him in your
class well I'm sorry it's just funny" Grover said Laughing the whole time.
"Well I suppose that is quite funny" Zeus said laughing a little.
"But still can you try and stop laughing long enough to get through class" he asked
"We'll try" I said getting back in my seat, I looked around and saw a few people looking at us.
"Thank you" he said and went back to the front.
"Okay class now normally the teacher would assign seats on the second day of class but this year each desk is
given a number which is up on the board as you can see" he said I looked to see that the desks where in
five rows of five starting from front to back left to right the numbers went from 1-25.
"Each student will come up in a haul out a number and then return to there seat after everyone has there number
then you will head to that seat" Zeus said. we each went up one by one as our name was called Grover got number
20 and Thalia got 21.
"That's good I'm sat behind you" Thalia had said, I was the last to be called.
"Perseus Jackson" Zeus called out an gave a small smile probably remembering what we where laughing at earlier
I hauled out number 5 back row by the window not to bad.
"Sorry guys" I said as I sat back down showing them my number.
"It's okay Perce just another chance to make friends" Grover said.
"I suppose" I said.
