Hey! I am really starting to get into this story. I have written about four chapters and will upload each one of these next 4 or more every time that I get 10 reviews. So it will be like, 13 reviews total = chapter 3, 23 reviews total = chapter 4, 33 reviews total = chapter 5, etc. all the way to chapter 8. I am very excited to improve my writing while working on this, so if you have an suggestions or see any problems, please let me know! Also, sorry that I haven't had Annabeth or any of the other characters but they will be soon. I am sort of just going with the flow with this story, so I have written it where Thaila will apparently be next to make an apperence Oh, and I don't own the PJO series.
Chapter 2
"Hey!" They all screamed, scaring the crap out of us.
I think I jumped about a foot in the air when I heard 4 people scream, at the tops of their lungs, the greeting. I quickly turned around to block my Achilles Heel and my hand immediately went to my pocket, feeling for Riptide.
Now, normally I am not this jumpy. I have been fighting monsters at the most random of moments and facing the most unexpected for the past 5 and a half years of my life, so I have learned that you must always be prepared and all that and am hard to scare. This is why it sent all 6 of my friends into a laughing fit when I jumped. Together there were James, Liz, Rachel, Jaz, Dylan, and Shane.
"Oh, haha very funny." I said sarcastically, "What is this, sneak up on Percy day?" This sent Rachel and Liz into a fit of giggles while everyone else just smirked.
"Perce it's that every day, we just don't normally succeed. What's with you today anyway, getting scared at the slightest noise?" Dylan asked.
This is where I went into a loud rant. "Why do you guys try to scare me every day , anyway? And I was not scared! Just startled. It wasn't exactly a "slightest noise" when four people screamed right behind me! And it's not my fault that I have this weird feeling. Plus I—" This is where Rachel cut me off.
"You have a weird feeling too!" she gasped, "I have had it since this morning, what do you think it is?" This kind of freaked me out. If I get a weird feeling then I can shrug it off as paranoia left over from the war and not being attacked in a few days. But Rachel is the Oracle. If she gets a weird feeling then something is about to happen, good or bad.
"I… don't know. How 'bout you Dylan? Any weird feelings?"
"No" This didn't really make much of a difference. Dylan is still learning how to use his demigod senses and powers, so he really doesn't count. That was when the others decided to but in.
"I'm not having any weird feelings either!" declared James, "And I am always right so nothing will happen today. Calm down, guys. It's not the end of the world." Dylan and Rachel shared looks of doubt and then looked at me simultaneously as if to say "you never know when your around, Percy, it could be." I just rolled my eyes.
"What is your schedule like?" Liz asked, completely out of the blue. I gave her a strange look then attempted to read my schedule.
About 2 minutes of silence and me making no progress, Liz ripped the paper out of my hands and read it aloud.
"First period; English – Mrs. Walker. Second period; Earth and Space Science – Ms. James. Third; PE – Coach Henderson. Then you have lunch, next is Mythology with Mr. Grace. Fifth you have Mrs. Patty with Algebra 2. Ooooh then you have free period and last and certainly least is Marine Biology with Mr …. Jackson? Odd. Oh and I have third, lunch and fifth with you."
"Gee, that fantastic" I said, sarcasm dripping off my words, yet she replied with an energetic smile. I turned to Rachel and asked what classes we had together.
"English, PE, and Mythology. It looks like we all have PE together." She said.
"Mythology will be fun" I grinned "and Marine Biology." That sent Dylan, me and Rachel into fits of laughter while everyone else just looks at us weird. As I headed off to my first class, I thought that maybe this year wouldn't be too bad. Rachel is back, my stepdad is the principle, and I have great friends. It would be relaxing, easy.
Boy, was I wrong.
Extremely wrong.
By lunch I was tired. I had PE with Coach Henderson for the last hour, who liked to push me as hard as possible since I was so much more physically fit than all the others. While I may not get injured physically because of my Achilles Curse, I still get extremely tired after I stop all of the exercising. Even that has been getting better because of how hard I have been training the past year due to all the sports and camp over the summer.
Anyway before PE I had two teachers yell at me. One of them was English for not even being able to read the practice material that we had to go ever after break as easily as I should have. When I told her I was dyslexic, I got detention for lying. The other was because I snickered when she was talking about the material we would be covering this semester. But who wouldn't when she was going on and on about the "Layers of the atmosphere" and how "the world revolves around the sun." I was sitting there picturing a very smug Apollo as she said that one saying "She is completely right. Very smart teacher." That was my second detention in the first 4 hours of school.
By this time, I was ready to just go to the lunch room and fall asleep on the table. So I did just that. And it was little wonder that I didn't notice someone sneaking up on me yet again, chuckling evilly. Until I felt the electricity flowing through me, that is.
Hey, sorry its so short. Its about 900 words. But next chapter will be in Thaila's POV, so I hope that makes up for it!
