CHAPTER ONE
"Dude I cannot believe that you are moving. What am I gonna do now?" Luke Castellan was sitting on the bed of Percy Jackson's now completely empty and bare room. Luke was a guy most girls would consider hot. With his dirty blonde hair, muscles, blue eyes and good looks. His best friend, Percy Jackson was moving away to San Francisco and he was still not quite over it.
"You're gonna be fine, Luke. It's not like you don't have other friends here." Said Percy, looking up from the cardboard box he was taping up. Now, Percy Jackson was also quite hot. People just didn't look at him much when he was beside Luke, the most popular boy in school. Percy had raven black hair, six packs (from swimming) and sea green eyes. He was kinder than Luke who sometimes unintentionally used people. He was sad about moving but also happy because Thalia his cousin was in San Francisco and he hadn't met her since childhood.
"Percy, are you done with those boxes. The taxi is here." A voice shouted from downstairs. Luke stood up and helped Percy carry the box downstairs to where Sally Jackson, Percy's mom was standing. She was a very kind woman. She had brown eyes and curly brown hair. She was Percy's whole life. She smiled when they came down.
"Are you ready to leave Percy?" she asked.
Percy nodded his head and looked around the apartment. He would miss being here. All the fun he and Luke had, all the parties and all the cozy times spent with his mother. But the apartment in San Francisco would be bigger, if not the same. Sally smiled again and went outside to give Percy and Luke some time to say goodbye.
Luke hugged Percy as soon as his mother turned her back and went outside. Percy hugged back.
"I'm going to miss you, dude." Said Luke
"Me too. I will call as many times as I can." Percy said, when they broke apart.
"And if you see some hot chick there or hook up with one, make sure to send me a picture." Luke said, laughing. Percy laughed too.
"I wouldn't dream not to take your advice first, dude." Percy said. They walked outside where Sally was waiting. All the boxes and suitcases were loaded in the taxi. Luke squeezed Percy's shoulder and said, "Call me as soon as you reach."
Percy nodded. Sally came over to Luke and hugged him, and then kissed the top of his forehead. Then, she and Percy sat in the taxi. Percy waved to Luke and he waved back, griming and trying to act playful but down in his heart he was sad. And Percy knew that.
When Luke was out of sight, Percy looked ahead.
A new adventure of his life was about to begin. He was just going to spend time with Thalia and her friends and stay clear of girls. Especially of girls.
Boy, he was so wrong…
