Percy's POV

I was having a very nice dream before I was very rudely awakened by a high screeching sound. I groan loudly into my pillow before slamming my hand down on my alarm clock. Somewhere in the confusing jumble of my brain I remember that I have school today. So I reluctantly get up and start getting dressed I hear a giant yawn come from outside my door and groan. My mom never yawns, so that must mean that Paul decided to spend the night, now don't get me wrong Paul is an awesome guy, and he seems to make my mom really happy it's just that when Paul comes over it means I can't skip school. Since he happens to be my English teacher he is so much harder to convince then my mom. As if reading my mind he yells from the hall "C'mon Percy you wouldn't want to be late for school." I can hear the smile in his voice so I say back "Yes I would" He chuckles and says "Come on your mom's still asleep" I nod not surprised and finally after throwing on a hoodie I head out the door.

The school comes into view too quick for my liking and I grunt as I get out of the car. My friends probably aren't here yet, they have normal parents. OK so I was wrong, one of my friends is here, not that I'm surprised Grover has always been a little, excitable when it comes to school, and even more so now that we're freshman. I personally have always thought it was because of Juniper but of course, he denies it. I wave over at him and he grins and waves back so I shout "G-man I don't know why you're here so early, you know Juniper doesn't get here until 7:45" He blushes and flips me off I laugh at him. He limps over to me, yeah I said limp he's always had it makes his gait look unbalanced so we called him Goat Boy. He's skinny and has a russet, brown colored hair and a strange thing he had a beard in 6th grade, so we always joke about him being held back. "Hey boys" says a sing-songy voice and Grover immediately blushes so I don't even have to look back to know who it is. "Hey Juniper, how are you." The girl, whose really quite beautiful is deeply tanned and she has a very down to earth look to her, of course I would never try to push in on my bro's crush, that of course is against the rules. Grover and Juniper have first period together so they left me and I just shrugged it off and entered the prison, I mean the high school.

I get to my messy locker and thankfully keep any papers from falling out of it. The locker next to me slams shut and I just get a quick look at blond hair held down by a blue ball cap before whoever it was disappeared. I shrug it off and head to my first class, Science. I walk in the class right as the bell rings, as usual and I hastily make my way to my seat. Red hair appears in my peripheral vision and is followed by a sickly sweet voice saying "Hey Percy." I look over already knowing what I'll find, a pretty girl sits beside me, her nose and cheeks covered in freckles and her eyes shining a bright green, she's wearing a pure white blouse and her white jeans are smeared with random paint colors, half of which I can't even name. She smiles sweetly at me and I grin "Hey Rachel, how are you?" She giggles and says "Percy I'm always amazing when I'm next to you, you know that." I grin despite myself and shake my head thinking to myself "this is going to be a long year."


A/N: This is my second chapter of my first fanfiction and I just want to ask what you people think of my story, and tell me anything I should work on or anything that ya'll think is already good. Any response is greatly appreciated, thank you.
