I had just finished making breakfast when everyone came down the stairs.
"Morning Dad, what did ya make for breakfast?" Rainier asked sitting at the table
"Blue waffles, every ones favorite." That's wright I got my family hooked on my favorite food.
"Yes did I hear dad say blue waffles!?" Ara called running down the stairs
"Blue Waffles!" The twins yelled and I could hear them racing to get down here first. I only made blue waffles on special occasions and the last day of school is one.
"Percy you know how to get them all down here." Annabeth said putting her arms around me and putting her head on my chest. She was just watching our kids eat and talk about what they are doing for their last day of school.
"I remember being Rainier ad Ara's ages and getting ready to be going to camp, camp was all I could talk about the last day of school." I said whispering
"I think Rainier is trying to avoid it for Zanders sake. You know how he gets. Plus you have to remember that Ara didn't go last year." Annabeth responded. I looked at my youngest son, he was 8 and is a lot like me, he loves his family and will do whatever his siblings are doing. Then he is also a lot like Annabeth he loves coming up with new games for them to plan and uses his imagination all the time, we haven't told the twins about camp yet because I don't want to break that in my son, he deserves what I had and Annabeth doesn't want either of them to go through what she did.
"Guys the bus is going to be here any minute. Come get your lunch!" Annabeth called going to the island counter. She gave Ara, Kalia and Zander their lunch bags all of a special requested lunch for the last day then she gave Rainier money so he could buy his lunch from the cafeteria. Just as they got their shoes on the bus pulled up. The bus is supposed to just be for the kids in elementary school but we know the bus driver so he takes Rainer, Sky and Rose in as well. (The bus drivers Leo and he only does it as a side job he mostly does repairs at his auto shop with Calypso.
"Hey Leo! Have a good day kids!" Annabeth and I both called as Leo waved and the kids left.
"So Percy what are you doing today at work?" Annabeth asked since I haven't told her I had taken the day off to help her do laundry and help her make sure everything was ready for the kids. We are packing for Ava because this is going to her first year at camp. She wanted to go to another camp with a friend from school before she moved to England and we let her, but this year she is going to camp, we had to have Rainier, Amber and Chaz had to kill to many monsters this year for her not to.
"Well I took the day off to help you" I told her. I knew she also had to work well getting ready and she would be happy then I could also be there to take the kids to camp.
"Really?" She asked with disbelief in her eyes.
"Really." I said giving her a light kiss." Let's go check for laundry and find a suit case for Ara.
It was the last day of school and I was finally going to be out of elementary school! I couldn't stand being treated like a baby here, just because I have ADHD and dyslexia doesn't mean I can't do the work, or I'm more immature. We weren't even doing anything today, we have already had our grad so we were just hanging out and talking then we will have the drum out at the end of the day and that's it. Nothing important but it's the last day.
"Ara! I heard someone call. I turned to see Amber running towards me. Ambers one of my two best friends but she's also a family friend. Her parents have known mine since they were Rainier's age. So we have known each other since we were born.
"Hey Amber what's up?" I said getting to our seats
"Do you know what you're doing this summer? " She asked with a spark in her eyes I haven't seen before.
"No, I'm probably going to be at home a lot playing with Kalia and Zander, if you want to come over you know you are welcome any time." I said with a smile. Amber loves coming to our house, there is always so much noise and there is so much to do. But as I said that I could see the spark in her eyes die, her smile never faltered but the spark was gone replaced by something colder and harder.
"You know I would love to, but I'm going to camp again this summer." Now I know why her face fell, she was going away.
"Oh well I guess after today I'll see you when we start high school." I said trying to look happy while mean while I was going to lose my best friend for two months. Our teacher Mr. Stevens walked in and wrote two things on the board. Looking and rearranging the letters I saw that one side said Disney's Hercules and the other was some movie from some company I had never heard of.
As you can guess we ended up watching Hercules. Who wants to watch a movie they have never heard of over a Disney movie? I looked around the room as the movie started, Amber and Chaz where both on phones (mom won't let me get one! And it makes me mad that my two best friends have cell phones and I don't but I get one once the summers over for now email will have to work.) There where a few of the guys sitting in the back corner playing cards, a few of the other girls drawing and talking quietly. Some people aren't even coming till 2:30 for the clap out so there was only about ten kids here.
I stopped looking around and paid attention to the movie, it was a good one (Even if they got the mythology wrong).
