Everything Makes Sense.
Percy POV
I was in the middle of a peculiar dream, in my dream I was son of the Greek god of the sea Poseidon leading the forces of Olympus against the massive army of the Titans on the streets of Manhattan, Yea weird right. Now you must be thinking Greek gods, Battles in Manhattan, Yea I'm one of those kids the kind that has an obsession. My obsession is on the Ancient Greek gods and I'm pretty sure that I inherited it from my mum who is just obsessed if not more obsessed don't ask me where it comes from all I know is that I inherited her obsession. Any way about me my names Perseus Jackson (See what I mean about being obsessed with ancient Greece) or Percy for short any way I would love to tell you that I'm a typical twelve year old with lots of friends who's attended the same school for years on end with two loving parents, but that's not the case you see I have ADHD and Dyslexia this makes it hard for me to get along with other kids leaving me with little friends and causing me to constantly fight and being labelled as a trouble maker I've been kicked out of so many schools I can't count them all, When it comes to my parents there's my mum Sally; what can I say she's the best mum in the world she's kind and always smiles even in the worst of times she works at a candy store and goes to writing seminars when she has free time. Despite the fact that she works a reasonably low paying job there's always plenty of money, I asked her where it came from once but all she said was that it was from "an old friend" despite my pushing she wouldn't elaborate any further. You know when I said that she was obsessed with all things ancient Greek while it goes further than that believe it or not she's also obsessed with celebrities with Greek names especially the ultra-rich, ultra-Powerful Olympia family but hey who am I to judge. During my life I've had two step fathers the first was smelly Gabe an overweight, Gambling, Alcoholic who mistreated mum and me until one day mum had enough and made a call to this day I don't know who she called but Gabe didn't bother us again, I actually saw him in the street once he took one look at me with a terrified look on his face turned tail and ran (I mean seriously I was 10), My other stepdad is my mums current husband he's kind and hardworking. He's a teacher at some really fancy school uptown Goode, it's so fancy that they don't even offer scholarships to the tuition which costs literally 100 Grand, It's the kind of school that the Olympias go to. You could imagine my surprise when my Mum told me I was going to be attending this year I mean seriously how we could afford it I guess that Paul got a discount for being a teacher and all. The last member of my family is my father who I never met, I've asked my mum about him but all that she tells me is that he was an important man who set out on a long sea Voyage to never return. Any way there I was having this amazingly realistic dream when I was awoken by my mum "PERCY! WAKE UP YOU"LL BE LATE TO YOUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" Okay mum I yelled back at the top of my lungs. I wanted to get to school early anyway because unlike many of my previous schools GOODE had a massive pool complex that had been donated by the second oldest Olympia Brother Poseidon at the end of the previous year turning quite a few heads I should add considering that Poseidon Olympia is completely childless. I quickly had a shower ate breakfast and gathered my things before jumping in the car with Paul who drove me to Goode parking up at the student entrance he told me quickly that if I needed anything to look for him and also that he had made sure that I was in his home room. What surprised me most about Goode was that as I was walking towards the front gate I Noticed a large pack of Paparazzi and Press camped out obviously hoping to snap a few pics of the richer pupils and their parents, Hoping to avoid the scrum I went to walk around the edge of the pack when a photographer yelled out "there's one" turning around to see who they were talking about I found a dozen cameras and microphones in my face reporters where screaming asking me questions calling me "Mr Olympia" I had to hold back a laugh as I tried to explain to them that I was of no relation to the Olympia clan. It took a while but eventually all but one of the Paparazzi realized I was just some nobody and moved off to wait for the arrival of someone actually worth their time. The one remaining paparazzi did not look like your typical gossip columnist if I had to guess I'd say he'd be an investigative reporter. "The resemblance is uncanny" he said "You sure you're not related to them" "Yes sir no relation" I said "What's your name kid" was all that he said, what compelled me to reply to this stranger I don't know "Percy… My names Percy Jackson sir". Looking at the time I realized that if I wanted a swim id have to hurry "Sorry Got to go I said to the reporter as I ran to the pool you see ever since I can remember I've loved swimming it's my dream to swim competitively in the Olympics and so far I'm doing well working towards that goal, I've yet to meet anyone who can lap me arriving at the complex I'm amazed, everything that I've ever wanted in a pool is there, It's almost as though this entire complex was built for me, That thought makes me laugh due to the fact that its utterly ridiculous. After about 15 minutes swimming I drag myself out of the pool get changed and head to the school office to get signed in. There I meet the schools headmaster Mr Brunner he introduces himself and gives me the same boring lecture of why Goodes different and how everyone cares blah blah blah like I haven't heard that before but it's what he says after that catch me by surprise "I noticed on your file that you have ADHD and Dyslexia, Well you don't need to worry yourself Percy some of our most popular students have ADHD and Dyslexia here at Goode you can be assured that no one will bully you about it". While I doubted that no one would bully me it was good to know that there where others here at Goode with the same condition. "Would you like me to show you around? Mr Brunner asked, "No thanks I think I can find my own way around" I replied. And with that I set off to find my homeroom before the bell rung to indicate the start of the school year. The thing about Goode is that unlike most schools it goes right through from ages 5 to 18 so here I was a stranger amongst kids who had known each other for most of their lives it made me feel out of place. Walking into my new home room just as the bell rung I gave Paul a nervous smile as I sat down in a seat towards the middle of the room. Any chance of Conversation with my stepfather was lost as by now kids were streaming into the room. After about five minutes of which I spent sitting in awkward silence before Paul stood up. "Welcome back Class we've got some general housekeeping to attend to before anything else". "Okay then first off today we've got a new student starting here today" Paul said smiling at me. "Class this is Percy Jackson" He said Gesturing towards me "Who would like to show Percy around and miss out on first Period" No hands went up forcing Paul to look over his Roll finally deciding on a student to show me around Paul looked up " Luke, You can show Percy around" Paul said Smiling.
