Hey fellow Fanfictioners, this is my first PJO FanFic and I'm not promising that it will be great but thank you for reading! PJO for life, and if you haven't already figured it out I do not own PJO that honor belongs to Rick Riordan alone, sadly...
My Brother Drives Me to School:
I have never been one for blaming others but I have to say this right out loud this time it WAS Percy's fault! HE said he'd pick me up from school and take me straight home, but what does he do? He goes and forgets about me. I mean is that any way to treat your half-sister? No it's not, but if you want to disagree with me then go ahead and be my guest, it's not my fault if you get soaked, oh wait, maybe it is...
Hello, I'm Andromeda Jackson, half-sister of Percy Jackson, and daughter of Paul Blofis and Sally Jackson. Paul and Sally are married, but my mom chose to keep her maden name, so I also took it as my last name, but my dad doesn't seem to mind. Percy is my mom's son with another man, and I really love him, he is the best brother in the world, even if he does forget to pick me up from school sometimes. Anyway I'm 14 and Percy is 30, even though he has always looked 18. My mom and him say that he has some rare disorder that stopped him from aging appearance wise, I think it's something more but I'm not really sure, so I don't press the issue. I have two other younger siblings the oldest of them being 14 year old Princess, Maggi. And the youngest of the two is Mason, he is 10 years old. See it's weird in our family because Maggi and Mason both have light brown hair and brown eyes, while Percy and I have deep Black hair, and mesmerizing sea green eyes. Percy and Mason don't seem to care, I think thats a guy thing, but Maggi and I are so close to the same age ( she claims that she was born first and therefore older, and not my age, like I own the number), she says I'm an outcast, and I'm probably not even my Father or Mother's daughter, and that really hurts. Percy tells me not to worry about it because Maggi is just being a brat, but I sometimes wonder if Maggi is right, I mean I know Sally is my mother, she gave brith to me, but what about Paul, my father?
So lets start out right. It is the last day of school of my 8th grade year. I did not want to get out of bed even though I knew that it was my final school day, I dont even know why I bothered, I mean I had already been kicked out of the school 3 weeks earlier. But of course I had to go. Percy peeked his head into my room, " Meda. Meda, you have to get up. I know you don't feel like it, but it's the last day of school, mom is making blue pancakes, and I'll drive you to school so you don't have to take the bus, hell, I'll even pick you up after school." That was a very tempting offer, I mean the no bus part, I hate that bus. First because Maggi rides it, cause she goes to my school, and all the kids hate me and make fun of me for having ADHD and Dyslexia. And Maggi doesn't try to stop them, she eggs them on. She is so rotten when we aren't in front of are parents. I don't know why she hates me, she just does.
So I opened my eyes and sat up. "Percy, If you want me to go to school you have to leave so I can get changed."
"What, oh yeah sorry. Be down in 15 minutes please."
"Fine!" I shouted to him, since he was now down stairs. I got out of bed and put on my Dan Young Jr. High private academy uniform on. Every student had at least two school uniforms, the boys had three, a slacks and jacket, shorts and polo, and jeans and a sweater. The girls had tights, a skirt, and a sweater/shirt, and slacks and a jacket. Maggi always wore the skirt ensamble, and I the slacks one. I did not do skirts. I pulled half of my hair up in a clip, and quickly brushed through the rest of it trying to get my hair to lie down flat. I pulled on my shoes, brushed my teeth, grabbed my bag and raced down stairs.
Paul was already gone, but my mom was still here. She was placing plates down infront of Mason, Maggi and Percy. She saw me and placed a plate for me and herself as well. "Good morning sweety."
"Good morning mom, morning Percy, Mason, Maggi." each gave their collective good morning and started shoveling food into their faces.
"So, Perce, are you still driving me to school today?" I asked between bites. I wouldn't normally have to ask anyone this right after they told me they would, but Percy is forgetful. And I had to make sure that Mom thought that it was okay, I mean it would be but still had to make sure, you know. Anyway more than that I was happy to see Percy, he isn't around all that much and he always leaves for the summer, so I try to get as much time with him as I can. Mom had looked away just then and Maggi sneered at me and I could tell that her face said, I-doubt-it-there-is-no-way-brother-Percy-would-take-you-to-school-and-not-me-after-all-I-am-the-favorite-twin. And in a way she was right, Mom probably wouldn't let Percy take one twin and not the other, she thought that we were the best of friends. Also Maggi was the favorite twin, loved by everyone more, except for mom and Percy. Mom loved us both equally, which really ticked Maggi off, and Percy loved me more, claiming that I was more like him, which made me happy. Percy was the only one who ever took my side in things, and also the only one that could make Maggi behave.
When mom turned back around to talk Maggi stopped her sneer and put on a pouting face. "Mom why does Andromeda get to be driven to school by Percy and not me, he is my favorite brother too." Mason laughed in the back watching TV totally oblivious to what was just said.
"Well Percy can take both of you." My mom said trying to be fair and not realizing how unfair she was being.
"I had promised Meda that I would take her if she got up to go to school and she did, so I'm just going to be driving Meda, Sorry Maggi." Percy shrugged like that settaled the matter and went back to eating. Gotta love Percy He sets people straight and doesn't even care if he is being rude in the process.
"Mom just said that you could take me! Please don't be mean! Don't lie!" Maggi sobbed puting on her best drama face and earning a full scale reaction from our mother like she had wanted.
"Percy, I said you would take both of them you can't be so cruel to your sister, she loves you too and wants to spend time with you before you leave for the summer. How about you drop both of them off and I'll pick them up. Now is that better Maggi?" Mom asked as Maggi stopped fake crying.
"Yes thank you Mom, Oh, Percy, Andromeda we better hurry or we will be late."She smiled a sickly sweet fake smile at us both and dashed out side to get into Percy's car. Slowly I followed flashing pleading eyes to Percy and scarffing down the last of my food. I had so little say in this family.
Now that I think about it if I would have known Percy would forget to pick me up, and what would happen afterwards, I think I might just have stayed in bed. But there is no changing that now.
End of chapter one, this is my first offical Fanfic and I'm not that good so thankyou for reading. Review Please!
Cookies for who ever can guess what Andromeda's name has to do with greek mythology, other than being an ancient greek name!
