Chapter 1

At least I didn't get kicked out of Goode High, and now my three cousins, Nico, Thalia, and Jason are coming to school with me. Nico is a emo kid with pale skin and dark hair, while Jason is the exact opposite with blonde hair and blue eyes. Thalia, Jason's sister, has black spiky hair and goth clothes.

"Hey Paul, could you drop us off near the back?"

"Why, Nico?"

"I probably shouldn't tell you considering you are a teacher."

So here we were going into the rusted back door, hating life because summer just ended.

Once we were inside, we saw the "hunters". They were evil and sexist maidens. Their leader Artemis hates me, and wants Thalia to join her group, even after she took my girlfriend, Annabeth, away from me. UGH. Annabeth. She played me for her pleasure then left me. Artemis' more reasonable family members include, Zeus and Hera, her parents, and Apollo her twin brother. Apollo was pretty cool, even if he is a player. On the walls, there are so many posters about learning and such, but I can't read it due to dyslexia. The tiles were painted over the summer and is a blinding white.

"Hey Perce!"

"Yo Beckendorf how are you?" Beckendorf works for his father as a metalworker and because of this, he has a bulky form that allows him to be an amazing football player. His real name is Charlie but he doesn't let anyone, but his girlfriend Selena call him Charlie. Speaking of Selena, she is the head cheerleader and that is how they got together.

"Fine, even if my annoying little brother, Leo, is coming to Goode High School now." Leo also works with Beckendorf in the metal shop, but he is still quite scrawny. He is actually very funny.

"Gods! Beck could you please keep the PDA to a minimum with Selena?"

"You are such a slut Selena." Artemis exclaimed.

SLAP!

- Line Break -

Well now I am suspended. Damn. I didn't even last a day this year. As a punishment, I have to somehow apologize to Artemis. I was even suspended from the swim team. This would be a long week. They had called in my mom. I couldn't face the disappointment anymore so I fled to my room.

I was just so pissed that Artemis thinks that she can do anything just because her family is rich.

A week later and I'm finally back in school. I avoid Artemis, but the principal wanted me to apologize. Ha! Like that would ever happen. I was behind on everything and since I am dyslexic, English is the worst subject. And, Artemis sits next to me in that class.

"Well your finally back, boy."

"How observant..."

"Listen to me. You can flirt later." Both of us blush at that. Why would I ever like Artemis.

At lunch, Thalia sat with Artemis. That deserter. Nico's sister was also there. I sat with Nico, Jason, Beckendorf, and Leo. Leo was playing with a piece of scrap metal while Jason was playing with a gold coin.

"Percy, Annabeth is coming over."

"Hey, Percy. I wanted to apologize." Annabeth stuttered. Tears appear in her gray eyes, but I won't let her hurt me again.

"Whatever." On the inside, I was crying over my broken heart.

"Would you like to go to the movies?"

"SO YOU CAN JUST BETRAY ME AGAIN? JUST LEAVE!"

"Way to go Percy!" Nico high fives me.
