My name is Perseus Jackson. Everyone calls me Percy, except for Annabeth. She gets a kick out of calling me "Seaweed Brain." It seems strange but, my dad is Poseidon. The Greek god Poseidon. With the fish and coral. And the Cyclops army and mermaids. I'm not crazy. I've found out that the world we live in is not the same as the world you believe. All those famous people, the weird kids in school; They are not the people you think. Most of them are the children of Greek gods. That popular girl in school that is so pretty you drop your pencil next to her just to get close to her? Daughter of Aphrodite. The hulky kids covered in black that spend days in the school mechanics shop? Possible children of Hephaestus. Most people are normal, like I hope you are. But, in case your not, if you begin to feel a pull in your stomach, a feeling like what I have to say about my story sounds strangely familiar, stop reading. Now. Forget you found this. If not, good. Keep reading and go on with your normal life and pretend everything your reading now is fiction. I'm jealous of you.
To start with, I have an amazing mom and a pretty cool stepdad. Paul Blofis (I call him Blofish...much funnier right?), AKA stepdad, and my mom, Sally Jackson (she wanted to keep her last name), are in an argument about some pretty nasty stuff in the front seat. What about? You will find out later.
The day I discovered who I am was insane. I realized my best friend, Grover, was a goat. I was chased by a monster, killed a monster, and winded up in an amazing place named Camp Halfblood. Then, I met Annabeth, my now girlfriend. Ever since then, my life has been a rollercoaster of events and near-death experiences. But, I still make it a point to go to camp every summer. And that's where I'm going now. While Mom and Paul talk about monster reproduction. But before we get to now, let me clue you in on what life as a half-blood is like. Like, after football practice.
