Percy pov:

4 years ago

My Mom and I had just moved to New York, and she had dragged me to the mall to buy clothes, something about "looking handsome for my first day in second grade", I didn't really pay attention.

"Percy we're here for clothes, not toys." nagged Mom.

I turned away from the remote control helicopter and followed her into some clothes shop.

"What do you think of these shorts Percy?"

"Yeah, fine." I mumbled.

"What about a t-shirt?"

"Great." I replied heading toward a basketball I thought I saw earlier.

"Percy! pay attention, you have to wear these clothes you realize."

"What does it matter?"

"You want to make a good impression."

"I do?"

"Yes you do, now pick one."

I continued following Mom around making up opinions until we left the store half an hour later with new trainers, jeans and a green polo shirt.

As we headed back to the car, my Mom at least 5 metres in front of me as I dawdled from display to display, I saw a girl, about my age with curly blond hair talking to a group of kids a few years older.

"What ya got there nerd? a book?, what a weirdo." one boy asked her, as I wondered over.

"That's not very nice." I said, as I saw the girl's bright red face with a stormy grey glare.

"What do you care?"

"Percy! come on we're leaving." called my Mom and I ran to catch up with her, turning back to see the girl heading over to a glamorous lady with two identical little boys toddling round her legs.

The next day I looked out my new bedroom window to see the same blond girl, sitting reading on her bed in the house next door. I guess we're neighbours.

Did you like it? I'm not sure if I should continue with this, reveiw please.
