Chapter 1:
When I woke up I felt like I couldn't move. I opened my eyes and realized I could only see a small amount of light. Why am I in a locker? Percy thought. Just then did he hear the people laughing outside? "Hey Jackson! You having fun in there? Ha-ha" someone said. Who are they talking to? Wait a second, who am I? He didn't remember anything. He started banging the door of the locker and started struggling to get out. "KIT! Get him out of there NOW!" said a female´s voice harshly. "I was just joking, common you know we are just playing around" someone, probably Kit, told her in a playful voice. She didn't answer, and even though I couldn't see, I knew she was giving him a killer look. "What a party pooper" Kit muttered and then I felt the door open.
I had to blink twice before my eyes adjusted to the light and I could see everything in front of me. There were five really scary looking guys eyeing me coldly. They were all wearing dark clothes; they struck me as bullies or criminals. I supposed the one in the middle was Kit; he had dark brown hair and reddish eyes. Talk about a killer look. Besides him, looking at me was a really cute girl, she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt and she was holding a guitar. What struck me the most was her straight, blond hair that shined like the sun and her blue eyes that were filled with worry. "Umm, thanks" I said in a shy way and all the guys started laughing. The girl ignored them "Are you okay? I'm sorry Percy; I just left to go to get my guitar. When I came out and you were gone I knew this punks where involved." What had she called me? Percy! That's my name! Perseus Jackson!
I noticed the guys were leaving and I was glad. "Perce? What's wrong?" she said. She was wearing a confused look on her face, probably the same one I was using. "Do I know you?" I said. She gave a small laugh "Yeah right Percy, stop kidding?" The last part came out as a question, the look on my face probably showed I was serious. "Percy. It's me! Why don't you remember me? I'm your best friend Lauren!" her lower lip started to tremble. She took a deep breath and said "Common, lets skip class and get some pizza. Maybe if we keep talking you will remember something. At least I hope you do."

When we got there she looked like she had an idea. I noticed she still had her guitar. Without thinking I said "Do you take your guitar everywhere?" She looked at me and an amused smile crossed her face. "Yes, but you used to bug me with it all the time. Saying I was one step away from singing every single conversation." Then she sighed, probably because she wanted me to remember. "Well, let's see. You started going to the academy 2 months ago. The academy is the school we go to. It's for kids who have a hard time in normal school. Learning disabilities or simply ADHD, just like you and me." She paused and looked at me to see if I remembered something. She sighed again and kept going. "We became best friends on your first day of school when I saw you stand up for James when Kit was about to throw him in the trashcan. That's why they bully you now, because you stopped then from bullying someone else. Anyways, I backed you up and they just left. Obviously you became James' hero and we started hanging out ever since."The way she said hanging out got me thinking. "Are we, umm, together?" As soon as I said it she blushed. "No, you asked me out but I declined." Without thinking I said "Thanks but I still don't remember anything" She was about to say something else when we heard someone scream. We turned around and saw Kit enter and hiding behind the counter. Before we could ask what was going on something came in. "A hellhound" I said under my breath and wondered how I knew that. Somehow it heard me and turned to look at me.
