Percy's Sister.
I sat in my hot pink bedroom, packing my backpack. It was the last day of school! I had almost made it through a year without getting kicked out! I sighed, flopping backward onto my bed. One more day, I thought to myself You can do this!
"Brooklyn! Hurry up, dear! You're going to be late!" My mom called up. I groaned, reluctantly standing up.
"Coomming!" I called. I kicked my pink soccer ball across my room, knocking over my flower vase. Water and roses spilt on my freshly vacuumed carpet. Uh oh. Shrugging, I decided to clean it up later. I walked into the bathroom and checked my reflection. My dark ocean-blue eyes looked back at me. My shoulder length black hair shimmered in the light. I smiled, revealing my perfect teeth.
"Brooklyn Marie Anderson, get down here! I can't drive you to school so you have to take the bus!" I frowned. I hated the bus!
I walked out of the bathroom and headed toward my door. Before I walked out, I took one last look around my tiny room and got a strange suspicion that I wouldn't ever see it again. Don't be silly, I thought to myself, stepping out the door.
I rushed down the stairs, taking them two at a time. I skidded to a stop and casually walked into the kitchen. My mom was standing at the stove flipping pancakes. She wore her nicest dress and lots of makeup. Her short brown bob was curled like perfect. She was going to a job interview. She wanted to be an editor at the local press. She glanced at me and smiled.
"Only one more day, honey. You'll be fine." She assured me. I wasn't so sure. Taking my seat at the table, I grabbed my fork and started on my first pancake. I heard footsteps behind me and turned. My little brother, Thomas, had come down the stairs. He was dressed in a navy blue polo and khaki shorts. His curly brown hair and green eyes, made him look just like mom. He smiled at me and took his seat.
"Thomas, sweetie, you have to take the bus, okay?" My mom said. His eyes widened. He had never taken the bus. He was scared to death of the idea of no seat belts. I ruffled his hair.
"Thomas, it will be fine. Just sit by James and hold on to him." I said. He smiled at me.
"Okay." He agreed. I finished my pancake and started to put my shoes on. I glanced out the window and saw my bus driving down the street. I ran to the front door, grabbing my backpack.
"Mooom, I'm leaving! Good luck! Bye Thomas!" I yelled. I ran to the street just as the bus pulled up. The driver opened the door. He smiled at me and said,
"Well, come on!" I climbed into the bus and found a seat next to my best friend, Samantha. She jumped when I plopped down beside her. Oh Sam, I sighed. You're such a scaredy-cat! After sharing hellos, we launched into telling each other every single detail of our morning. I giggled when she told me she had put her shoes on the wrong foot and tripped on her carpet.
"Oh, Brooke, I can't believe it's the last day of school!" She grinned happily. "We're so close!"
"I know! I can't believe I haven't gotten kicked out yet! Usually I get kicked out halfway through the school year." I sighed. Oh, well. At least nothing can go wrong on the last day of school, right? I had no idea how wrong I was.
The bus pulled up to the school. We all poured out and rushed up the stairs to the front door. Sam and I walked through the doors and split up to go to our classes.
"Talk to you later, Sam!" I called to her back. I turned and ran straight into a boy about my age. He had black hair and sea-green eyes. He apologised to me and helped me up. He's kinda cute! I thought. I smiled at him.
"It's okay." I told him. I held out my hand. "My name is Brooklyn, but you can call me Brooke."
He shook my hand. "Percy. Percy Jackson." I frowned. There wasn't a student at our school named Percy.
"Are you new? I haven't seen you around." His smile wavered. He let go of my hand.
"Oh, I'm just visiting. I don't go to this school. I came here to, uh, check it out. I might go here next year." That was a total lie, I thought. This school doesn't allow visitors. The bell rang. "Oh, I got to go!" I cried. He nodded. I started to run off.
"Catch ya around, Brooke!" He called after me. I smiled. I slammed open the door to math. (A/N Just gonna say here, I don't go to school. I'm homeschooled, so I honestly have no idea how a normal day at school goes. So if i say something that doesn't happen, or that is wrong, plz tell me! Thx!) The teacher, Mrs. White, glared at me. I stared back at her, almost laughing. She couldn't do anything to me since it was the last day of school. I skipped to my seat and plopped down.
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted by Miss Anderson, we will be reviewing Algebra today. So if we take X and. . ." I tuned her out. I thought my favorite place: The beach. Mom, Thomas, and I would be going there for vacation tomorrow. I was so excited! We were staying a week in a cabin by the water. I couldn't wait to boogie board, and swim, and surf. . .
"Miss Anderson!" Mrs. White snapped. I jerked my head up. She was glaring murderously at me. I shrunk back into my chair. "Would you care to answer my question? Or would you like to get back on the train to la la land?" The class giggled. I blushed. Mrs. White loved to embarrass me.
"Could you repeat it, please?" I asked with forced politeness.
"If you can do a equation, such as 5 multiplied by 4, one way, then reverse it and it comes out as the same answer, what is it called?" I frowned. What was it? I thought frantically. I didn't want to give Mrs. White the chance to embarrass me again. I brightened. I actually remembered.
"Associative property." I said clearly. She frowned. I swear she was hoping I got it wrong.
"Correct." She mumbled. "Class dismissed. I jumped up and ran out the door. The rest of the morning went by quickly. Soon lunchtime came around. I found my usual spot and began to empty my lunch box, waiting for Sam. The someone sat next to me. I glanced over. Percy! I thought. He smiled.
"Hey," He said. "How's your morning been?"
"Fine, except Mrs. White. Why is she so cruel?" I growled. He nodded.
"She snapped at me, 'No running!' except I was walking through the hall. How weird is that?" Just the Sam came over. She froze when she saw me sitting next to a boy. She quickly regained herself and sat down next to me. She glanced at me.
"So, who's your, um, friend?" She asked. I blushed. She leaned in closer. "He's cute." At this I blushed even more. The bell rang. I jumped up.
"Sam and I have gym next. What do you have, Percy?" I asked him. He looked at me.
"Gym, too." He answered. I smiled. We all walked to the gym and found a place to sit with the other 10th graders. (A/N I think this is Percy's grade. Correct me if i'm wrong!) Our coach came walking out. Mr. Walker was a world-famous sprinter in the Olympics. Emphasis on was. Apparently he put on some weight, because now it looked like he could barely run a few feet. He blew his whistle, shutting the group of noisy teens up.
"Awright, kiddos, time to play!" He bellowed. I grimaced. This guy had one volume, and it was let's-blow-everyone's-eardrums! volume. "Today we're going to play sharks and minnows! We have a, er, visitor today! Percy, please stand up." Percy stood and glanced at the other kids apprehensively. Coach continued.
"Percy can be the shark! Awright, you minnows, line up!" He yelled at us. We all stood. Percy stood in the middle of the court and looked at me. I gave him a little thumbs-up. He smiled. He really is cute! I thought.
"Awright, when I blow my whistle, you go, got it?" He cried. We all mumbled our okays. He blew his whistle. I took off across the court. I sprinted as fast as I could. When I got to the other wall I was breathing pretty hard. I glanced back to see how Percy was doing. He was tagging kid after kid. Man, he's fast! I thought worriedly. By the time the remaining kids got to the wall, over half were sharks. Uh oh. Coach blew his whistle again, and we bolted from the wall. I glanced back and saw Percy right on my tail. No! I thought, putting on some more speed.
Suddenly the whole floor shook and I fell to my knees. Percy froze. Then the wall exploded and a dozen armed ladies ran in. I gasped when I looked down, realizing that they didn't have legs. Where their legs should have been were two snake tails. They slithered in and Percy yelled something in another language. The snake-ladies laughed.
"No, son of the sea god. You are not our target." They cackled. The my blood turned to ice as they pointed toward me. "She is."
So what do you think? Like it? Hate it? Let me know! If I don't get any reviews I won't continue! I know it's kinda short but I will make up for it in the next chapter. PROMISE!
