Chapter 1

Percy's P.O.V.

I stretched, waiting for my best friend Annabeth. We were starting sixth grade, and we were very excited for middle school. I stood on my tip-toes, still scanning the school grounds, looking for her. "BOO!" Someone yelled behind me. I jumped, turning around to see a laughing Annabeth. She looked so pretty, I thought. With her curly golden blonde hair, her intelligent grey eyes shinning with laughter.

"I so scared you, Seaweed Brain!" She kept laughing, and I frowned. "Shut up." I grumbled. "So, ever find out who your dad is?" She asked, and I shook my head. When I was born, my dad abandoned me and my mom. I hated him with all my heart. Someone came up behind Annabeth, wrapping his arms around her. I glared at the figure. She yelped, turning her head to see Luke, as he went besides her.

"Hey Annie, nice to see you again. Hey Percy." He spat my name, but Annabeth didn't seem to realize that.

Luke Castellan was Annabeth's other best friend, and I know that they both like each other. In the crush way. Luke was one year older than us, in seventh grade, and very strong and tall. He pretended to be Mister Friendly with me when Annabeth was around, but when she turned her head, or wasn't there, he'd shoot me glares or start fights with me.

He's a sneaky little rat, so he makes sure that when Annabeth comes near, it looks like I started. She gets pissed at me and ditches me for Luke. "Hey 'Beth, want me to show you 'round?" Luke offered. Annabeth grinned brightly, then glanced at me. "Um, sure, Perce, want to come?" She asked hesitantly. My face fell.

I could tell that she wanted some alone time with Luke. I tried for a smile. "No, I'm sure I can find my way around." I told her, and she nodded, walking off with Luke. I shook my head. What did she see in that jerk? He was mean, and a bully. Soon lunch came, and I was walking down the hall, when I saw Luke and some of his buddies beating up two kids.

One looked like he was in my grade and the other looked like he was in seventh. The one who looked my age had black hair and pale skin. His dark eyes furious, but weak. The one I guessed was in Luke's grade had a wispy beard coming out. He had brown curly hair and sad brown eyes. His lip was busted and the other guy had a black eye. "Hey, Castellan, get away from them!" I shouted at Luke.

He turned on me, smirked. "Oh yeah? What're you gonna do? You're scrawnier than my grandma." I clenched my fists, wanting to punch his face in. "Go away." I spat, and Luke just smiled. "No." He replied. I walked up to him and punched him in the nose. "I said, go away!" I pulled my fist back, ready to punch him again, but he slammed me up against the wall.

"now now Percy, let's not do that again." He shook his head, then kneed me where no man wants to be kneed. I crumpled to the ground, groaning. Luke and his friends burst into laughter as I groaned in pain on the ground. They walked away, but not before kicking me. Once they were gone, the two guys helped me stand up. "Thanks bro." The guy with black hair and pale skin said. I smiled at him.

"No problem. I'm Percy Jackson." I held out my hand and he shook it lightly. "I'm Nico di Angelo." Nico replied. I turned to face the other guy. "You okay?" I asked, and he nodded. "I'm Grover Underwood, seventh grade." He offered his hand which I took. "Luke's an asshole." Nico glared at the ground. Grover nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he took my best friend away from me." I told them.

"Dude, that's gotta suck." Nico looked angry while Grover looked sympathetic. "C'mon, let's go eat lunch. Its been a while since I've eaten lunch with friends." I suggested and they both brightened. "We're your friends?" They asked eagerly. "Yeah, let's go." I started to head to the cafeteria with them. I saw Annabeth holding her lunch tray, looking for somewhere to sit.

I strode over to her. "Hey Annabeth, wanna sit with us?" I asked, gesturing to Nico and Grover. She looked at me guiltily. "Sorry Percy, I'm eating with Luke. You... can come sit with us." She offered, but I knew when I wasn't wanted. "Nah, I'm fine. See you around." I turned around sadly, waiting for her to call me back. Waiting for her to apologize. She didn't and that's when I realized that maybe she wasn't my friend anymore. Maybe she didn't like me. I loved her, I knew it.

I just sat down next to Grover and Nico, and soon this really pretty girl comes over to sit next to us. "Uh... h-hi." I stutter. She smiled flirtatiously at me, scooting closer and closer. "Hi, I'm Rachel." She gave me a bright smile. "Er, hi Rachel, I'm...uh, Percy." I held out my hand, but she just laughed and hugged me. I stiffened. I looked at Luke's table and saw Annabeth glaring at us. Huh, I wonder what she's mad about.

"So, do you want to go to the movies maybe?" She asked, but I was already shaking my head. "Sorry Rachel, I have to hang out with some friends." I answered and her face fell. "Oh, okay. That's fine." She gave me a weak smile and walked off. I watched her go when someone new came to the table. "Hey Bianca." Nico said, as the girl, Bianca, ruffled his hair. "Hey!" He protested.

I smiled slyly. "Is that your girlfriend, Nico?" I asked, trying not to burst into laughter. Nico looked at me in shock. "Ew! She's my sister!" He looked grossed out and I blushed. "Oh, sorry." I muttered. Bianca let out a laugh. "Hi, I'm Percy." I gave her a smile that she returned. "I'm Grover." Grover nodded to her, while chewing. "Come on man, we gotta go." I pleaded with Nico. "Yeah man." Grover imitated me and Nico chuckled. I pouted. "Aw, wittle Percy pout is so cute." Nico cooed while pinching my cheeks.

I blushed again. They both laughed and this time, I joined in. These were real friends.

One Year Later

"Travis! Bro, I heard what you did to the gym teacher! It was awesome!" I clapped Travis Stoll on the back, and he grinned proudly. "I know dude." He puffed out his chest. I pushed him lightly, and he pushed me back, but not lightly. I crashed into someone and made them drop their books. "Oh my gods, I'm so sorry." I rushed to grab all the books and shoved them into the person's hand, only to see grey eyes staring back at me.

"Oh." I narrowed my eyes in distaste, and walked over to where Travis was. I heard her calling my name, but I didn't turn around. Me and Annabeth grew apart. She started hanging out with Luke and his friends and I hung out with my friends. The bell rung indicating that the school was over. I rushed home because my mom had called me, saying that she had to tell me something really important.

"Mom, I'm home!" I called. "In the kitchen!" She called back. I walked into the kitchen to see her with a tall guy. The guy had black hair and bright sea green eyes. My mom took a deep breath. "Percy, this is your dad." My mom told me. I looked at him, frozen. He gave me a small smile. Then I went ballistic. "WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT YOU? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'VE HATED YOU FOR ABANDONING ME? US? DID YOU EVER CARE ABOUT ME?" I screamed at him and he flinched.

"About that, I'm so sorry Percy, I wasn't in my right mind. I'll never do that again. I swear on the River of Styx." He smiled as I gaped at him. How did he know my obsession of Greek mythology. "Your mom told me that you loved the Greeks. I bet you'll freak even more when you hear my name." My dad smiled. I looked at him, curious. "What is it?" I asked. "Poseidon Jackson." He answered and I almost fainted.

"That is awesome!" I shouted and he laughed, then turned serious. "Listen Percy, I know you like it here in New York, but can you come with me to L.A.? My family's dying to see you." Poseidon asked out of the blue. I looked at him in shock. "its only two years, then you'll come back." He pleaded and I looked at my mom, who was just smiling. "Uh, can I say goodbye to my friends first?" I asked and Poseidon looked shocked. "Y-yes, of course. We'll leave tomorrow." He decided, thanking me. I just smiled.

T=Deciding wasn't the hard part, I've always wanted to go to Cali, it was telling my friends.

Uh oh, poor Percy. I'm so happy that he stood up against Luke. Annabeth's so oblivious, don't you think? Please review!
