Percy POV:

I was lying on my bed in my apartment when I heard someone yell, or should I say squeal with joy, "Percy, time to get up. It's your last day of school." I groaned inwardly but didn't reply to my mom's response. "Come on, hon," she continued into my room, "last day, You've made it to the end of the school year."

Wow, I thought, I didn't think this school year could pass so quickly. Now you'd think that a kid that was on his last of his sophomore year would be excited for that, but I was anything but that. And I suppose you could probably guess why.

That time was coming. The time I would have to decide the fate of the whole world. It didn't help the fact that my best friend was still not talking to me since last summer ended. Oops did I forget to mention that I am Percy Jackson, and the world of mythology exists even to this day? Oh well.

I ended up going into school, but I don't really remember what happened during the day at all. All I could remember was walking. I guess I was distracted about something… Alright someone… I mean come on now. I thought we were best friends, but all I could recall was her leaving me on that hill. Sadness crept onto my face, and I hung my head down.

Now, though, I was on my way home after school. All I could feel was the lumpy leather seat of the subway and the pain that dwelled in my heart.

Once the train halted at my stop, I quickly got out and ran into my apartment. I just felt like staying there forever and forget everything but everyone knew that I couldn't do that. No. I had to go pack to go to Camp Half-Blood. Camp Half-Blood… a safe haven only to those who had an Olympian parent, but even now that safe have was slowly disappearing.

My mom was the only one to greet me when I got home. "Percy," my mom ran from the kitchen to hug me, "how was your day?"

I shrugged, "It was okay… I guess." The truth was nothing really happened. Like I said all I really remember was walking around. Where?? Only Zeus knows where.

She decided to let it drop even though a worried expression stayed splattered on her face, "Okay hon." she said.

I slowly trudged my way into my room, packing for what could be the last time. Just a few pair of clothes, ambrosia and nectar, the sand dollar my father, Poseidon, gave me, and I laid a hand on my pocket, and right as rain Anaklusmos was there.

As soon as I was finished packing, we set out in the car and headed to Camp Half-Blood.

The car ride there was uneventful, but I started to cheer up since I saw the tips of Thalia's Tree. Right until then though, my mother completely broke down.

"Oh Percy," my mom said, in between sobs, "please just try to be careful with the prophecy and all."

I nodded, "It's gonna be alright mom, don't worry." Though I wasn't sure myself what to expect of this summer.

I quickly gave her a goodbye kiss and hugged her, but when she hugged back she didn't want to let go, but we both knew that I had to go.

As the sight of her car quickly vanished, I turned and set forth up towards the old pine tree that was protected by Peleus, the dragon. He raised his head look toward me, but then realized that it was just a camper.

The sight of camp was something to behold. There it was. I was just so glad to be here, to be safe. But one thought, just kept nagging at me, bringing me down from my excitement… Annabeth.

It was nearly 4 o'clock now and I just wanted to get everything ready, so I ran into my cabin and dumped my backpack into one drawer. I said that I wanted to get everything ready, I never said neatly.

By now, I was tired and was holding off the meeting with Chiron, notifying him that I was here. There was no reason I was avoiding Chiron, it's just that… if I walked out I might run into… ah never mind. He'll see me at dinner so that would be good enough.

I was just lying on my bed when I heard the dinner bell ring. Oh great, I thought, dinner finally came(hint the sarcasm). I slowly made my way off my bed and headed off toward the dining pavilion.

As I entered I lowered my gaze to the floor so I wouldn't have to look at anyone. I felt weird, and I couldn't explain it. But as I was trying to come in unnoticed, Mr. D just had to ruin it for me and blurt out, "Ah, Peter has survived another year, hurrah."

Great now my covers blown so I just sat down at my table… alone. Normally I would retort back at Mr. D but right now I just didn't feel like it. The table was so empty without Tyson, but I guess nothing could change that though. He had to work and I had to train.

A plate just appeared in front of me and on it was the best looking steak I ever laid an eye upon. It literally made my mouth water, but I didn't want to drool in front of everyone so I sucked it back down. When the offerings came, I sliced off half of my steak, and threw it into the bronze brazier. Tonight I made a prayer to the gods. To an god really that could help me. To any god that could clear things up for me. Tonight though, there was no scent. The smoke was odorless, and I was left clueless.

I sat back down at my table and sighed. It wasn't until then that I could feel a pair of warm eyes bore the back of my head, though I didn't dare turn around. I just took one more bite of the steak and threw the rest into the fire. When I turned around to head toward the cabins, I distinctly saw a swish of blond curls that I knew anywhere, but I was already heading away from it and toward the woods.

Please review this is my first time and I just want to know if I'm any good or should continue. But Chapter 2 gonna be up anyway without reviews, but It'd be good still to get some. Chapter 2 will be good with chapter 1
