*Percy's P.O.V*
The year was 2013 I think, I was in high school, first year too, fresh out of middle school. I went to Yancy Academy High or YAH as we called it, and by 'we' I mean the students. My mom is Sally Jackson and my step dad is Gabriel Ugliano, or Gabe, or as I like to call him behind his back 'Smelly Gabe'. He's a total Jerk and my mom has been married to him for the past four and a half years of my life. He also as a son who's name is Tyson, he's a pretty nice guy he's a foot taller than me and as huge muscles, but he's a softy, that's what I like about him, plus he hates his dad too, so double points for Tyson.
My mom married him because it was the only way that one of Gabes friends would help my mom keep the apartment that we live in, since he's the land lord of the building and Gabe is an old middle school friend.
My dad left us when I was pretty young, it wasn't his fault, his job called him off to sea and no one ever saw him again. I still have some faint memory's of him smiling and him and my mom singing a song called The Ocean, an old song by an equally old band called Led Zeppelin but I've heard from my mom that his favorite song is Achilles Last stand, also by the same band. The song is like ten minutes, I often listen to it to help me get connected to my father. To feel like he's still with me.
I have a friend, Grover Underwood, he's crippled. He messed up his legs in the 50 yard dash. We've known each other since the 3rd grade along with Annabeth Chase, who's my lifelong crash, and also a great friend.
Then we got Luke Castellan, whom Annabeth likes but he's like a grade ahead of us. Thalia and Jason Grace, their brother and sister and Luke's main friends, Jason and Thalia are in our grade. There's also Nico, who is a bit of a lone wolf type but we're all good friends with him. I'm not sure who he likes. And his sister, Bianca di Angelo who was held back so shes in her brothers grade.
Then there's Piper McLean, she has a dad that's a movie star, she doesn't really like to talk about him that much her mom is a beauty stylist and she use to be a model.
Then Leo Valdez who lost his mother in a fire at his dads car company, then his dad left to Tennessee and killed himself out of misery, so Leo got sent with his aunt who dislikes him.
Rachel Elizabeth Dare, Annabeth's friend, they've known each other since 5th grade when Rachel moved into the city.
Hazel Levesque who is Pipers friend and Hazel has co-co bean skin( Roasted co-co beans at that), I don't really know much about her, other than she's close with Frank Zhang. Now Frank Zhang, who is horrified of fire, and as one of the longest, widest family lines I know.
Calypso Kione, who has brown blond hair, she moved from California like Annabeth did. Annabeth likes to read and she loves buildings and history, her dad is a history nut, and she most always has a book with her.
Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano who I know nothing about but is dating Jason Grace since the 2nd grade.
"Mom! Where's my backpack! And my shoes!" I yelled.
"You put your shoes in the freezer, remember!? And your backpack is on the couch!" She called back from her bedroom. I was tried and a tad out of it. Don't blame me. Okay, maybe it was a little my fault.
"Thanks!" I called back as I put my frozen solid shoes on. "AH!" I yelled from the burn of the cold on my feet.
I grabbed my cell and backpack and slang it on. "Okay mom, I'm leaving for the bus!"
"Don't forget to give your mom a hug!" I ran back and gave her a hug. "Don't forget about tonight's dinner, Gabe is having some friends over and he wants you here. Okay?" Why Gabe wanted me there, confused my ADHD mind to all hell, but my mom was asking and I can't say no to her.
"Sure I'll make it, we have that project, and my partner is Annabeth." I looked at my mom hoping she would understand.
"Okay dinner is at 6:15, you can be ten minutes late. But no later, got it?" Gods I love my mom.
"Yeah got it, thanks mom! I'll see you at dinner!" I said as I pecked her on her cheek and went out the door.
I walked down the steps so fast that on my third and last set I tripped and slammed into the wall. I recovered and went out the door, which is one of the doors where you can spin around in, which is super awesome with the ADHD. After a hard day at school I can come home and spin in the door for at least ten minutes, but then I get dizzy and vomit in the flower pot by the door.
I get to the bus just as the doors were closing. "Percy, where the heck were you?" Grover asked without looking back.
"Sorry, I forgot my shoes in the freezer." I said grinning.
"I'm not even going to ask how you 'forgot' your shoes there seaweed brain." Annabeth said as she was sitting down in our spots at the back of the bus. She made the gesture for quotations for forgot.
"Okay wise girl." I said as I smirked in my seat. Our other friend, Frank, got on the bus along with Jason and Thalia.
"Percy did you bring your notes for our project?" She asked. Notes? Notes? Oh no did I forget them? I really hope they're not in the freezer, although they could be in the fridge or the pantry.
"Um I think I have them.. in my freezer." I said rubbing my neck. She looked at me and shook her head.
"Oh Percy, why do you have to be such a seaweed brain?"
We got to school around 7:20 the bell was just ringing so I had to run to class, but of course, someone had to stop me so they could talk. Happens. Every. Time.
"Hey Percy!" I heard my name being called by a red hair girl, Rachel.
"Yes?" I asked her as fast as I could without seeming like I wanted to get the hell out of there.
"Um I heard of an opening in the school play, tryouts are um next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. And if you try out you get extra credit. So what do ya say?" She said pulling her hair behind her ear.
"Yeah, sure, but um, Rach? Can I go now? I have class in about a minute and it's a two minute walk there soo, is that all?" Fast non-thought decisions is what I'm good at.
"Yeah that's all, bye Percy." She said as she skipped off holding her books with both arms against her chest.
I ran like a mad man to my first class, but even then I failed to get there, and failed is an understatement. RINNNNNNGGGG! The bell went off with a piercing sound. I turned the corner and fell into my classroom. I got up, swept at the pebbles on my shirt and said, "Um hey class, teacher. Sorry I'm late." I sat down at our table, Grover and Hazel were in my science class.
"Hey guys." I said as I pulled the notes from my backpack.
"Geez, you sure are late a lot today."
"Grover, I need to tell you something, and it is very important. I am always late." Of course that wasn't fully true, I mean, I do get to places a tad late but I make it on time. Sometimes.
"That you are Percy." Grover said laughing a bit.
"Okay class today we are learning about weather, and how clouds form." The second he said weather I blanked out, the only things I heard was stratus cloud and rain and water which made me shoot my hand in the air. "Yes, Percy Jackson?"
"Can I go to the restroom?" I said moving my foot to trap the flow.
"Yes, fine go." I got up and left the room, we had about twenty minutes left of the class. I went to the bathroom and went in a stall. That's when I heard Luke Castellan and who I thought ,by the voice, could be Chris Rodriguez. "Dude you said you'd pay me by now!" Chris said a little above a 'talking' voice.
"I will." Luke said his voice tight, his voice was tougher than the last time I talked to him.
"I need that money by Friday, that means you got three days left man."
"Okay I will. I have a friend that I can ask. She'll pay me, I just have to lie." What the hell is going on out there? Someone left the restroom. The stall next to me opened and someone walked into it, but they didn't sit, they slammed their fist into the wall and I saw it move toward me, there was dent that looked like a very messed up fist. I almost fell of the toilet, and that is a sentence I thought I would never say.
"AGHH!" He yelled, now I know it's Luke. My palms had gotten sweaty from holding them together for so long. Five minutes had passed, no one had come nor had anyone enter the area at all.
"Who's there?" Suddenly I saw Luke's feet move from their old spot and they left the stall and I heard him push open the doors behind his them he made his way to me. I crawled under the stalls so I could get away on my third stall over I got on the seat and pulled my legs up. My heart beat was getting faster in anticipation. His feet made their way towards me. I closed my eyes hoping I wouldn't die in a bathroom and a seat that people use in ways I like not to think about.
One more stall. "I know your there kid." My eyes widened. I had only heard him call one person kid.
"Percy." He pushed open the stall door. I heard my name, it kinda stung to, like someone punched me in the chest with both fists. The stall was fully open... and the look on Luke's face, just by looking at it I know I was screwed. He walked up to me and grabbed me by my collar. Man! He had some big hands, I honestly never noticed that before. I guess when you're about to die, you tend to notice the little things.
"It's not what it looks like, I was um, using this here toilet." I lied.
"Sure, then why is there nothing in there?"
"Um I peed?"
"Why wasn't there sound?"
Crap. "Um, when I pee, I pee really quietly." And that's when it happened Luke, for the first time, punched me in the side, although I think he was aiming over a little to my gut. "You missed." I said, and the second I said it, I regretted it. He punched again and this time, he didn't miss. I really wish he'd miss. Because the second time hurt a helluva lot more then the first wave did. "AH!" I yelled, which I tried to hold back. But you try to get punch and not make a noise. It's hard. It's as hard as Medusa's stone victims. Yeah, I just used Greek mythology to to describe how hard something is.
He dropped me and left, I crawled back to the stall. I vomited in the toilet. Not my day. Three class periods passed and I had slept two of the three. I walked out feeling miserable, I went to the sink and washed my face off and looked in the mirror and had a little talk with myself.
You look like crap.
Thanks man.
I know, your welcome, but you are going out into the halls and act like none of this happened, don't tell anyone.
I think I'm gonna-
Don't even THINK about it!
But-
No!
Why!
Nooo!
And that's how the conversation went with myself. RINNNNGGGG the bell rang thorough the school.
I walked out to lunch after lunch I had 5th hour, which was FAC, or Life Skills. Either way, I did not, I repeat, did not like it. The rest of my classes I had my friends or at least most of them.
I got in line for the blue food. My mom had called and requested there must be a blue food line for me, and of course this is an inside joke. MY step-dad, ugh, do I have to say it? Step-dad? Ugh I'm just going to call him by his name. So anyway Smelly Gabe said once to my mom that there is no such thing as blue food. They got into a discussion, but my mom never raised her voice. But ever since my mom has gone way out of her way to get blue food. That's the awesome part about my mom, she doesn't fight, or yell, but she proves her point. I guess it's her way of saying, he doesn't own her.
Annabeth was in-front of me along with Grover. They have all their classes together, I only have half of mine with her. "Hey guys."
"Percy, where did you go?" She asked turning around to face me.
"Um the bathroom?"
"Dude, it must have been a big-" Grover was interrupted by the sound of Jason running past us to get to the other line that had chicken pasta. "CHICKEN PASTA!" He yelled as he waved his arms freely back and forth.
"He looks way to happy about lunch." I commented.
"I think that's an understatement." Annabeth said.
"CHICKEN!" He said as he hopped in line. Piper was chasing behind him with Leo and Calypso behind them walking. For the past two weeks Leo had been talking to Calypso a lot more.
"Hey guys, oh look! Blue food! What do we have? Blue cheeseburgers? That um, sounds super unsafe.." Leo said wide eyed, but despite what he said he jumped in line and Calypso shrugged and got inline too. The line moved forward by six people.
"If this food kills me, you are in deep trouble. I'll get you back " She said.
"Wait.. wait. If your dead, how exactly do you plan on getting me back?" He laughed with his head tipped back. Then he came around with a straight face.
"You are impossible Leo Valdez." She said rolling her eyes.
"I know, it's a natural born talent. I am, the impossible Leo." He smiled again and did a head tip to the side.
"So Leo, what's up?" I asked.
"Oh the same old thing, the ladies want a bit of team Leo." He said with a grin.
"How's that going?" Annabeth asked with a cocked eyebrow.
"Pretty slow, there's not a lot of ladies on team Leo... I need advertising, a banner maybe?" We all laughed. We got our food and sat down at the awesome table, at least we thought it was. At the Table sat Nice, Annabeth, Grover, Jason, Thalia, Frank, Piper, Hazel and Reyna.
"You know we have a test on um Thursday right?" Jason said.
"We do?" Hazel asked.
"I heard we did, but I really hope it's on this awesome chicken pasta. This stuff is like lighting in my mouth, it's shockingly good."
The hours passed, Global, and English and Life Skills. Then the end of the day arrived we split up and got on the buses. Annabeth and I got off early so we could get on yet another bus to get to the library.
"I found my notes." I blurted.
"Did you now? Let me guess were they in the stalls? The school freezer in the teachers lodge?" She listed several other ones that I didn't even know a school had.
"No... they were in my locker."
"Okay pull 'em out." I did so and we found some books and the Middle East. I thought back to when Luke said: "Okay I will. I have a friend that I can ask. She'll pay me, I just have to lie." And then something hit me. I literally mean something hit me. Annabeth's book.
"Percy?" She asked
"Um yeah?"
"Could you work?"
"Sure." I worked. But then something really hit me, and it wasn't her book, it was who Luke meant.
"Annabeth? Can I ask you something then I promise to work."
"Sure seaweed brain." She said smiling.
"Did Luke ask you something today?"
"Yeah he did, he said he needed a fifty, so I gave him one. How did you know?"
"Annabeth, did you ask what it was for?" I looked into her eyes.
"No, Percy what is it?"
"He... I don't know how to say this, he's in trouble."
"What kind of trouble?"
"Money trouble."
"Luke, money issues? No way." She shook her head like that the idea of Luke with no money was Crazy which I guess was true, it was crazy. See Luke's dad Hermes, owns the worlds largest shipping company in the world. And every year, twice a year,Luke gets a check with 2,000 bucks on it, which makes me think, how much money does Luke owe?
"I'm telling the truth Annabeth, you gotta believe me."
"I... I have to go, I'm not feeling so well." She got her books and left, leaving me alone with the papers and three books on the Middle East.
Three things bothered me, what is going on with Luke? And how deep in trouble is he? And would he pull Annabeth into his mess?
BOOM! Hope you like it! Also Most of the chapters how based of of songs, also the Chapter names are named after the songs. If you want to say anything just put it in the review and I promise I'll answer, or at least I'll try too.
