Why couldn't I be normal for once. I've been kicked out of almost every school I've been to. I'm just a freak. But I have made it through my 9th grade year and today was the last day. And I knew I couldn't mess it up. For some odd reason, I was almost happy to see my half-brothers Travis Stoll, Conner Stoll, and Luke Castallen. But going to Camp Half-Blood was not on the top of my to-do list for summer. But I should anyways since I need to prepare for battles and I might even get to go on a quest or two. But the biggest reason I didn't want to go was because of Percy Jackson. He was an awesome guy, but he was sort of a crush to me, but he's together with Annabeth. And anyways Annabeth isn't one of my favorite people after she thought I was on Kronos's side and tried to kill me. That was scary. She has apologized every time I go back to camp. But at the thought of seeing Percy's face made me giggle.
"Jenny, come down here!" mom called from the kitchen.
I sighed and got out of bed. I knew one thing. I didn't want to have mom come up and get me to come downstairs to see whatever she wanted me to see. When I finished getting in my clothes, I rushed downstairs so there would be no more yelling my name. When I entered the kitchen, someone instantly came behind me and covered my eyes.
"Um, mom what's going on?" I asked almost laughing.
"Just hold on," mom said in a kind voice.
A few more steps later, she let her hands go and uncovered my eyes. I opened my eyes to Luke. I screamed and ran up to him. I started to cry as I buried my face in his chest. He wrapped me in a hug, and started to laugh when he felt the tears soak into his shirt.
"Why are you crying?" Luke said.
I looked up into his face. He was smiling and looking down to me.
"Because it has been so long since I got to see my favorite brother. And this is the first time he's not trying to calm down a whole bunch of half-bloods to quiet down."
This made us both laugh. I let go of him and he let go of me. I turned to look at my mom to see her expression. She was smiling and almost started to laugh. Don't
