Every Coin Has Two Sides - chapter 1
Summary: Every coin has two sides. Percy Jackson is a starting varsity soccer player for Olympus high school. Jason Grace is a starting varsity soccer player for Jupiter high school. Both are handsome, popular, and hate each others guts. But when an accident occurs to the two boys during a soccer game between their rival schools, they get a better look at the opposite side of their coin. (AU -no demigods-)
Percy
The day was perfect soccer weather - not too sunny and just the right amount of wind.
I looked up to the stands in the stadium to find my girlfriend, Annabeth, waving at me. She was still in her soccer uniform and covered in grass stains, so I assumed she just gotten done her own game.
I turned back to the problem at hand; Jason Grace.
Jason is the only player who could ever best me. We are the top two players in the state. We've been competing against each other since the sixth grade when we were the only ones in our grade to ever make middle school varsity. We've gone to different high schools, but the rivalry never went away. We both start outside midfield, but we both can play any position but goalie. Which is dangerous because college scouts will be split between wanting one of us or the other. Which brings me to why this game is so crucial: if I can defeat Jason and his team, my college scholarship opportunities will be secured.
The referee blew the whistle to start the second half, the score still being 0-0, and I was off like a rocket, anticipating a pass from our strikers. The ball comes toward me in the air, and I control it, but then I was face to face with Jason. I feinted left and went right, towards the outside. I managed to outmaneuver him, and headed to the net, taking a swift shot, but the goalie snatched it from right above his head.
The goalie punted the ball, and suddenly Jason is at my side, racing to get the first touch on the ball out of the air.
The next thing I know, the wind was being knocked out of me as I collided with Jason, our heads smashing together from the momentum of the ball slamming into my chest. We hit the ground, and I blacked out.
A/N: Thank you for reading this story. I know it's short, but the next chapter will be up soon. The POV's will switch back and forth between Jason and Percy.
