Hi guys…. Haha I guess you can say I was busy… and I obviously haven't died contrary to some beliefs. So anyways the mark of Athena came out…. I cried at the end…. Anyways here is my second shot at a fanfic of my favorite series!
(Trin's POV)
My life was what you could call normal; I mean I had a mom that loved me…. I had… well yeah I guess that's the only thing that's constant thing in my life. I'm one of those 'trouble maker' kids but really I've never done anything wrong… technically. I just happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. I know what you're thinking, likely story; but I swear I didn't want my math teacher to end up hanging from a tree, things like that just happen….to me anyways… so I have ADHD which makes it hard for me to focus in school. I mean the teachers could try to make it interesting. It's not just the ADHD; I'm also dyslexic which doesn't make learning a piece of pie. The worst thing is that summer is over, sophomore year of high school… yippee?
I'm not the friend type, people just tend to shy away from me so I was kind of shocked when this new kid went and sat next me in homeroom. I stared at my desk choosing to ignore him; I knew he would go away if I was silent for long enough, people never stayed. Not even my own dad, but that's a whole new story. Even if he stayed he would ignore me and tomorrow he would sit with someone else, new kids want to feel accepted and I sure as hell wasn't going to be his welcoming basket of fruit.
"Hi, my name is Percy, Percy Jackson. I'm new here….hey are you even listening…Hey!" I had gotten up ready to spare him from the embarrassment of holding a conversation with me. He would immediately be excluded and would never have friends. I wasn't going to let that be my fault. "Umm hello? Am I not worthy? Where are you going?" I lifted my head to tell him that I was sparing him but my eyes caught in his eyes, his gorgeous sea green eyes that matched the ocean perfectly.
"Ummm…. Hi…" I stammered… did I really have to leave? Pshhh no! I was being rude to this lonely new kid who was all alone in this school! I had to make him feel welcome, even if it killed me! "My name is Catrin; everyone just calls me Trin though. Uhh so you're new huh? Where did you used to live?
The boy, Percy, smirked and I swear my heart skipped a beat "so you do talk!" I blushed and ducked my head "Haha sorry, I used to live in New York City" my head shot up.
"NO WAY! Why the heck are you here! This town is dead boring the headliner news is Jimmy Clark learning to ride his bike! Why would you leave the city for this?"
"Well you could say I was sent here… I mean my mom! She wanted to move, why she picked Dunstable, MA is beyond my comprehension though…. What about of you? Have you lived here your whole life?" Percy asked. I was dumbfounded, this guy, Percy whatever, was hot. I mean he was like Greek god stunning! His hair was dark and longish so it fell into his bright eyes. His skin was deeply tanned and he had the right mix of a muscular and lean frame. Why the heck was he talking to me? I was a no body, the friendless freak that couldn't even get passing grades. Yet the craziest thing was that this conversation didn't feel forced, he wasn't trying to be nice it was so… natural.
"Yeah I've lived here forever. I'm pretty sure the only thing that changed is…. I can't think of anything… wow that's sad…" I said getting more comfortable. I think this year just might be okay, for once school had a silver lining in the form of a new green eyed friend.
