This is the second chapter. Just to let everyone know: sorry for any spelling or grammer errors. I typed the chapters on my iPod.
Frank II
It was an average school day. I attended class after class not talking to anyone. I was labelled a loner and a loser. I didn't play any sports and didn't participate in any of the school functions. James and Courtney on the other hand were one of the most popular kids at school, for their grades.
James was the JV starting quarterback. So naturally the football team respected him and followed him around. The JV cheerleaders threw themselves at him just because he was the quarterback. He refused to be seen with me because it would hurt his reputation at school.
Courtney was the head cheerleader which of course caused the whole football team drool over her. Many had asked her out but she declined all of them. Some just wouldn't get it through their heads.
I was walking down the hall when I saw Jacob Anderson, the Varsity quarterback, hitting on Courtney. He was sweet talking her just like in the movies. Courtney just rolled her eyes and made to leave. Jacob didn't like being turned down, thanks to his big ego, and grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her up against the lockers. I was finally within hearing distance and listened to what they were saying.
"You will go out with me tonight," he said still pinning Courtney against the lockers.
"I told you, I already have a boyfriend and I don't like you anyway. Now please let me get to lunch Jacob."
"Not until you agree to go out with me."
I walked up behind Jacob and tapped him on he shoulder. He turned around surprised to see me standing there.
"I believe that Courtney told you to take a hike," I said to his face.
He was a couple inches taller but definitely stronger than me. He gave me an evil sneer and turned all the way around to face me.
"Stay out of this runt. This doesn't concern you. Go back your hole that you live in and stay there. No one wants you here."
Jacob didn't scare me as much as he thought he did. I felt a tingling sensation in my hands as I grew angrier. The next thing I knew Jacob was twenty feet down the hall sliding on his butt. The front of his shirt was charred and his hair stood up all over the place. The air around me smelled of ozone and the tingling in my hands was gone.
"This isn't over DeMarco! When I'm done with you, you'll wish you were never born!"
"Drop dead Anderson!"
With that I grabbed Courtney's hand and walked, more like dragged her, towards the cafeteria. I heard Jacob swear at me and then run off in the other direction. I glanced over at Courtney and there was a little shock in her face from what happened with Jacob. We were almost to the cafeteria when we were stopped by a security guard.
"Frank DeMarco?" he asked me.
"Yeah?"
"The principal wants to see you in his office right now."
Great, just what I needed. I told Courtney to go eat lunch and that I would meet up with her later. She declined and came with to the principal's office. I have never been to the principal's office so I got us lost. Just as I was turning around from walking into a dead end, Jacob and about half the football team were standing in the hallway blocking our way.
"I told you you wouldn't get away with making me look like a fool," Jacob said.
"You do that on your own," I retorted.
He snarled at me and then turned to his team. He whispered something to them that I couldn't hear. Jacob turned back around with an evil grin on his face. Just then, the group started growing in size until they were about seven feet tall. They all had razor sharp teeth and looked that a muscle magazine cover model, except I'm sure that they could've easily beat those guys up.
"Kill both of them!" Jacob yelled.
The eleven of them came charging straight for us and of course I panicked. Just as one of them was about to slam his fists over my head, he froze and turned into a pile of dust. The others turned around and I looked in between them to see what was going on. Standing about ten feet away were a boy and a girl about our age. The girl had bow in her and the boy had a three foot long bronze sword in his hands.
The giants then turned their attention to the others and attacked them. At first the teenagers held a good fight against them but the tables turned. The boy lost his sword and a giant flung him down the hall. The girl's bow was snapped in half and she now had a knife in her hand. A giant snuck up behind her and grabbed her arm and twisted it. She screamed in pain as she dropped her weapon.
"Annabeth!" the boy screamed as he ran back from the other end of the hall. Just then Jacob grabbed him and pinned him to the floor.
"I know where your Achilles' heel is Perseus Jackson," he chuckled as Perseus' eyes grew wide.
"NO! Leave him alone!" Annabeth screamed at Jacob.
He grabbed Perseus' sword and raised it above his head. As he was bringing the sword down, I did the stupidest thing in the world: I charged at the giant.
"Frank!" Courtney shouted as I neared Jacob. He looked up, stopping his previous action, and saw me coming towards him. I hit Jacob with a full on football tackle. Jacob lost grip on the sword as he hit the ground. I grabbed the sword out of the air and stabbed Jacob right in the heart. Before he was completely dust, I turned around and faced the rest of the giants. I raised my right hand and charged up as much electricity as I could. The built up electricity blasted all the giants in the face causing them to shake violently and then vaporize into dust.
I looked at the three people, all of them staring back at me. I walked over to boy
"Here this is yours," I said handing him the sword.
"Thanks," he said grabbing the sword.
I was about to walk over to Courtney when I felt extremely light headed and fell onto the cold, hard floor. The last thing I saw was Courtney running over to me, then everything went black.
I don't know what you you think about this, but I will if you review. I know you want to. :)
P.S. I still dont own PJO.
P.S.S. Constructive cristism is welcome.
