Chapter One-

Welcome to Enka High School

Yup. It's another school. Far away from New York (my home), my boyfriend and the people I love. Joy. Why did my dad have to move again?

And now I have to go to a stupid school with a stupid nickname. Yeah, that's right. Enka Stinka.

Even worse I have to go to the school in the middle of the year! That's when everyone's already made friends (not that I would make any.) and know all the teachers expectations.

Well I show up at Enka high school, and they dump me right in gym class. Just like that. They said I had already missed 1st block so I hope that class was stupid.

Anyway I'm walking past these girls in gym class and I over hear their conversation. "You can't say he's hot if the book doesn't say that! You can't see him!" One girl with bright blue eyes and light brown hair said.

Fighting about books? I thought. Lame. I mean I love books and all but not that much. "Well I don't care! Percy Jackson is still so freaking hot!" one girl with intense brown eyes and medium brown hair yelled. Percy Jackson? No way…

I stormed up toward them. "Um, hi. I'm new here and I happened to hear your conversation. How do you know about Percy Jackson?" I questioned them. The third girl in their party answered my question. She had long dirty blonde hair and misty green eyes. "Have you not seen the movie?" I shook my head.

"Have you read the books?" She asked again. "no" "Wow. That's sad. My name is Sydney. What yours?" Asked the one with brown eyes. "Annabeth." I told them. "Rose" Said blue eyes.

"Elle" Green eyes said. "OMG! Rose, SPJS!" Sydney yelled. Rose and Sydney both squealed. "huh? What's SPJS?"I demanded. "It stands for Spastic Percy Jackson Syndrome!" They sang together. Elle rolled her eyes. "We said that cuz your name is Annabeth and there is an Annabeth in the book. And Percy end's up going out with her!" Sydney squealed. "You've never heard of Percy Jackson and the Olympians? Like at all?" Rose asked.

I shook my head. "I've only heard of the person." "You know someone named Percy Jackson?" Sydney said wide-eyed. "Yup he's my boyfriend." I told her. "SPJS!" Rose yelled. Sydney didn't squeal in agreement, she just raised her eyebrow at me. "That's weird" Elle commented.

I glared at her. How dare she call Percy and me weird? I mean, we're defiantly not normal but… "Well you should really read the books! Look I've got the first book right here."

Sydney took a book out of her bag. With my dyslexia it took me a while to make out the cover. The Lightning Thief, I read. There is no way in Hades I could read this whole book with my dyslexia. But I so wanted to know if it was about my Percy… "Could you read it aloud? Now?" I asked weakly. "Why? Can't you read?" Elle snorted.

"Yes! I can read. It's just really hard on my eyes! I have dyslexia." I said defensively. Sydney looked at my as if I was crazy. "What? What did I do?" I demanded. "N-nothing. It's nothing." She said rubbing her eyes.

"Okay I'll read it aloud. But it will take a while to finish the book." Sydney explained. I nodded. "Well come Sydney. Read! I want to hear the story again." Rose yelled.

"Shh! You don't have to yell!" Elle said. "Ok here we go. The Lightning Thief. Chapter one, I accidently vaporize my pre-algebra teacher." Sydney started. "I love the names of the chapters." Rose cut in. "I'd love to vaporize my math teacher!" Elle said evilly. " Me too!" Sydney cheered. I had a feeling these girls did not like math.

"Continue." I demanded. "Fine. Look. I didn't want to be a half-blood. If your reading this because you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe whatever lie you mom or dad told you about your birth and try to lead a normal life." Sydney read.

"He's just a constant downer, huh?" Elle interrupted. Rose giggled and Sydney and I rolled our eyes. "Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed painful, nasty ways." Sydney continued.

"All right go up stairs! Get on out of the dressing room!" Yelled the gym coach. Then did I finally realize that I was the only one not wearing a gym uniform. Then Sydney answered my thought. "Don't worry they won't take off grade points for you. Since your new." "This sucks! We just started the book!" Rose complained.

"Well come on. I don't want to get yelled at" Elle said as she headed out the door. Rose, Sydney and I followed. As we headed out the door I saw Sydney hide the book under her shirt.

I raised my eyebrow at her and she shot me an evil smile. I smirked. We got up to the gym and the coach was already shooting out orders.

"Okay, today we're gonna play dodge ball. All the sporty chicks on one team and all the people who could care less on the other" Okay, so maybe he didn't say the last part but that's what it sounded like to me. I'm just glad they took all the boys in another room.

I hated how their always yelling at girls like we're weaklings. As soon as the game started Rose, Elle, Sydney and I huddled up.

"Okay, now where were we? If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this happened. But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if you feel something stirring inside-stop reading immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a matter of time before they sense you too, and then they'll come for you." Sydney read.

"Ohh Weee ohhh" Elle whispered. "Yes cause at this very moment their coming for you!" Sydney teased and pointed at me. I laughed. She didn't know how right she was. "What who's coming for her?" Rose asked. Clueless. "The monsters! Duh?" I smirked. "How'd you know that? We didn't even get that far yet." Elle stated.

Sydney examined me as if she knew who I really was… "Uhh, I guessed?" I hoped they buy it. "Oh" Rose said. Briiiiiiiing! It was already time to go to our next class. I left the girls and headed for my next class. Math.

I love math. Mainly because it was super easy. But guess who was in my math class. That's right, you guessed it! Rose and Sydney.

They were talking when I walked in. When they saw me they smiled and waved me over to the empty seat next to them. I sat down asked them if we could read the book. "Not with out Elle." Rose told me. Elle is on a different team, I think.

Yeah that's right my stupid school breaks up grades into teams. So stupid.
