Chapter 2 Percy
The clock was ticking. The room was dead silent, filled only by the occasional groans. Percy felt sweat beading on his forehead. His hand trembled as he read the words again: the words that decided his future.
"Chromosomes are located in a nucleus in which of the following?"
Viruses
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
Percy chewed the tip of his pencil as the gears in his head started shifting into overdrive. He thoroughly searched his mind for an answer that wasn't going to be there over and over again; you could almost see the engine smoke flooding out of his ears. It was the last day of college, and Percy's grades were doing terribly. If he didn't at get an A+ on this test, he would have to get an overall GPA of 9.5 next year. He couldn't do that! At the way this test was going, he'd be lucky to even get a C+! Percy was so focused on the test, when the bell suddenly rang, Percy yelped and dropped his pencil. When he picked it up, he, on a whim, just circled A as his biology teacher, Mr. McEvoy, a young, muscular man with black hair, and a former member of the legion, told everyone to pass their papers up to the front. Percy sighed with relief as he grabbed his bag and gave his test to as he went out the door. Finally! Summer break, and it was going to be great! He was going to spend his time with Annabeth and all his other friends at camp half blood, and this year it was going to be especially great, because he was going with the legion, and not only that, Piper had sent an Iris message a couple days ago that Leo was back! Hurray! With his head filled with thoughts of the great summer ahead of him, he met up with Annabeth at the front gate. annabeth smiled, making Percy's heart do a little dance routine inside his chest. Her grey eyes sparkled with amusement. "Ready to go, seaweed brain?" She asked. Percy nodded. "Just need to stop by the dorm and get my bag." Annabeth nodded. Same here. "Meet you at the barracks?" Percy nodded again. As Percy turned to leave, Annabeth called "and oh, Percy?"
"Yeah?" Annabeth sighed. "This time, PLEASE be on time for once!" Percy grumbled. "You're late for ONE date and your girlfriend never forgets it!" Percy jogged towards the boy's dorms , mentally checking off things on his mental checklist. Toothpaste? Check. Toothbrush? Check. Shirts? Check. He was so focused on this he was almost run over by Hannibal the elephant, who was carrying supplies for the trip to camp half blood. "Coming through!" Yelled Louie, the driver. Or was it John? Percy shrugged and kept walking towards the dorms. When he got there, he fished his keys out of his pocket and opened the door. He grabbed his bag and checked his watch. 3:10! THe legion would be leaving in five minutes! Percy yelped and sprinted towards the barracks. His feet pounded on the cobblestones as he made his way past Bombino's shop and through New Rome. When he finally got to the barracks, the vans were already packed and waiting, with Annabeth anxiously waiting. When she caught sight of Percy, her creased brow smoothed out as she sighed with relief. "Well? Come on! We're ready to leave!" Percy nodded, shoving his pack into the trunk of one of the vans along with all the gear to set up the miniature fortress that was to be their base camp at camp (Romans are VERY efficient packers). He jumped into the car next to Dakota, the kool-aid vampire, and centurion of the fifth cohort, and yelled. At the wheel was definitely the WEIRDEST creature he'd ever seen, and Percy had seen plenty of weird things in his demigod life. It's face looked like a demonic grandma, with grey, wrinkly skin. It had no teeth, no eyes, just eye sockets, but in the dead center of the left eye, there was a tiny, shimmering mirage, like an Iris message. At first, Percy didn't recognise the monster, but then, a memory arose inside his brain, which included a cyclops, three old ladies, Annabeth, a magic taxi, and a lot of screaming. "It's you! One of those sisters who drove the taxi!" The old lady cackled. "Yes dear," she said. "I'm one of the grey sisters, Pemphredo." Percy coughed. "Err, that's alright and all, but you, um, you don't, uh, have the eye, so how exactly are you going to drive" Pemphredo pointed at the light in her left eye. "You see this dear? The Romans rigged this modified Iris message that leads to the space right in front of it, so I can see! And the best part is, they say I can keep it! No more looking at things every other Monday!" Percy sighed with relief. "Oh good, because last ti-OH MY GODS!" The last part was from Pemphredo slamming the gas pedal and making the car bolt for the exit. Percy and the others screamed as Pemphredo, followed by the other two cars, drove across the valley and into the tunnel. When the entrance came into view, it flew open, and the cars somehow actually fit through, even though the door seemed to be way too small. Pemphredo suddenly merged into the traffic without hitting any cars, and no tires started squealing, so it looked like the mortals hadn't noticed. Pemphredo suddenly pushed the accelerator even harder, weaving in and out between cars, and at one point, somehow, JUMPED over a car, driving a speeding car full of screaming adolescents all the way to the other side of the country. New york.
