CH.1 Magic
Percy Jackson was no ordinary 10 year old boy almost 11 but things happen that turn him off the right path and into the left path...see what I did there? Anyone?... Never mind. The day started out normally for Percy but that would soon change.
"Goodbye honey!" Sally Percy's mom called out from the house it was summer and where does Percy get to go. Summer school the worst place on earth for anyone. Percy's friend this year was a tall Mexican American kid named Julius Leo Cordova but he goes by Julian.
The reason Julian was in summer school was his method of ditching classes. Get one teacher to sign a hall pass or tardy slip with no date or time and he'd use it for anything. Once he got out of trouble by faking an asthma attack.
But enough about him for now because this story is mainly about the weirdness of Percy's life and how it was just about to get weirder.
As Percy walked to the school a couple a guys were beating up this kid, he was a chubby boy with a toad hopping out from his pocket and out towards the street. The boy called out in what he assumed was a British or was it considered English?, accent, "Trevor!"
Percy ran up to the guys yelling at them, "Stop it, Idiots!" The two guys turned and Percy definitely recognized them as two of the bullies from his school the previous year.
"Hey look it's Jackshit."
Percy just stared before opening his mouth and saying probably not the smartest things, "Is that the best you could come up with, but hey I'm not the greatest with insults either. Maybe we can all attend a seminar together." Seeing the fist rushing towards his face Percy closed his eyes and put up his arms in front of his face thinking, 'I guess that's a no.' But before the kid could lay a hand on him the cement ground erupted with water like a geyser propelling this nameless bully into the second and then into the gutter.
The other boy had ran before. 'That kid never even thanked me! And either I'm crazy or I just did something unexplainable... Let's just go with I'm crazy.'
