"Olivia! you better get your ass down here or you'll have to starve for dinner tonight." James yelled.

I woke up feeling pretty tired. I looked at my alarm clock and it was 8:14 pm. I almost forgot it was Monday, I thought it was Sunday.

"Oh no! I'm late for school," I muttered while running into the shower.

I loved the water going on my skin. It heals my scars and bruises.

"Oliva, Hurry Up! Since you are taking forever, we are going to school without you. You have fun walking to school." Bloom said

My stepfamily is leaving without me again, isn't that great? Oh well, I didn't really want to ride with them anyway.

If you didn't notice this before, I'll tell you right now.

My stepfather is James. He loves to drink beer and alcohol. Whenever he's drunk, he uses me like a sex doll while my mom is not home. He always abuses me and makes me starve if I did something wrong. He will not hesitate to kick me out of the house to sleep on the streets. When he's not drunk, he just ignores me.

My stepsisters Trish and Bloom are smart, pretty, and extremely mean. They like to make fun of me about everything. They always have to remind me that I'm nothing, not good enough, ugly, weird, stupid, loser, and a freak. They treat me like a servant like Cinderella. (I really hate Cinderella.)

My stepbrothers Jacob and Alexander just treat me like I'm invisible.

On the other hand, my mom is the sweetest person. I want to protect her from my evil stepfather. She always makes me feel happy and safe. She often takes me to the beach to get away from James and his troublesome children.

"Olive, please get out of the shower. I know you want to stay in the shower, but you are already late for school." Mom said

Oops! I guess I lost track of time.

"Okay, I'm coming out," I said while getting out of the shower.

I wrapped a towel around my body and went inside my bedroom to put my clothes on. I put on short blue jeans with a dark blue T-shirt, red shoes, and my trident necklace. I made my hair into a ponytail. After putting my outfit, I grabbed my bookbag, eat my breakfast, and kissed my mother goodbye. I exited the house and went to school.

(My worst nightmare.) Eastern High School is a place where teachers don't really care about their students. It's like a battleground for Outcasts vs. Popularity. The popular people like to make outcasts like me miserable. My step-siblings are part of the popular group.

Another person who is miserable and an outcast is Isabella Rose. Isabella Rose has always been the gothic/emo girl who isolates herself from everyone. Sometimes she can be physically there, but she can be out of it.

Thanks to my step-sisters, I would always compare myself to other people because I'm never good enough. I would never be normal with the other students. My water powers are weird. My real father is a God who doesn't really care whether I'm dead or not.

Anyways, I went inside the school and found the hallway split open. It was not literally split open. I mean the students were getting out of the way, so the golden trio can pass through. The golden trio is the Queen Bee (a.k.a Alexis), Tina, and Mina. They look like a bunch of sharks making the fishes tremble in fear. The golden trio rules the school because they are popular.

Alexis and her followers stopped right in front of me.

"Oh look, it's miss water girl," said Alexis, "I'm surprised that you have the courage to walk these halls. Let me make this simple for you, so your stupid brain can understand. You are a Loser."

Alexis slapped me in the face. Tina and Mina laughed.

"I'm the Queen Bee. I own this school. If you can't get that through your thick skull, then I'll have to remind you. Tina, pass me a permanent marker. Now!" Alexis yelled

Tina quickly took a permanent marker from her purse and gave it to Alexis. Alexis wrote a word on my forehead and laughed at me.

"Yep, that word would totally fit you. Isn't that right girls?" she asked

I was too busy wondering what did she write on my forehead.

"Right, " they said

"Oh, let's humiliate her in front of the whole school just like we did to Isabella," Tina said

"What a wonderful idea, Tina. Listen up Losers! I hereby declare Olivia, a loser of Eastern High. Congrats Olivia, you are now part of the freak squad like Isabella Rose." Alexis said

Oh, she wrote 'loser' on my forehead. It's fine though because I could always rinse it off with water. Although Isabella creeps me out sometimes, she doesn't deserve to put up with these three.

"Ok, I accept my fate as a loser but leave Isabella out of this. I'm the one you want." I said

"Oh, you finally learned your place. You're trying to save everyone like some hero." Mina said

"Your brain is full of seaweed. " Tina said

Everyone started to laugh at me. I was beginning to tear up and just wanted to get out of here.

"What's wrong? Are you going to cry like a crybaby?" Alexis asked

Everybody laughed even harder.

"Hey, leave her alone," a voice said

"Who dares to speak to me like that?" Alexis asked

"I do, I'm Percy Jackson, who would like to put you in your place." He said

"Ha! How would you put our leader in her place? She is the most feared girl in school and everyone goes into their knees to beg for her mercy." Mina said

"I'm not afraid of her. I faced many things that are scary and she is just an amateur." Percy said while coming closer to the girls.

I was shocked how can he stand up to them for me. He didn't know me. I'm an obsessed girl who lives to learn about the water who has ADHD and dyslexia. I'm a freak to everyone except my mother.

"What are you going to do with me? I'm like a goddess has this school around my finger." Alexis said trying to sound confident but her voice is broken with Percy in front of her.

I saw Percy taking out a sword but to the mortals, it was a pen. Thank goodness that mist hides the demigod world from mortals.

He put the sword at her throat.

"Let me make myself clear, leave her alone or else I slice your throat. Oh, by the way, you don't have everyone wrapped around your tiny finger." He said with his dark gaze.

Alexis and her gang ran away from the hallway

"This isn't over Olivia, I'll be back to have my revenge." She said while going to class

Isabella came out of her hiding spot and Percy put his sword in his pocket.

"Percy, what are you doing at Eastern high school?" Isabella said

Wait! Do they know each other?

"Is this your school? It looks normal except the part when it has a Queen Bee ruling this school." Percy said

"That doesn't answer her question," I said

"Oh, I'm here to take you two to camp half-blood," Percy said

Camp Half-blood. What's that?

"Uh don't you remember that I am banished from that camp," Isabella said

"Yes, but the camp needs your help," Percy said

"Okay, but why do you need to bring me to camp half-blood," I said

"Because you are a demigod, I asked your mother and she said it was time for you to go to camp half-blood." He said

I already know that I am one but how can he talk with my mother like that. Though his name sounded familiar, I remember when my mother talked about me having a cousin named Percy Jackson. Now there he was standing in front of me.

Before I could say anything, I heard a monster growl and footsteps.

"We have to leave the school now," Isabella said

"We have to fight the monster" Percy said

"Leave"

"Fight"

"Leave"

"Fight"

———-

Jesus Christ can't they see that arguing is getting them nowhere

"Hey! Stop with the arguing can't you tell it's getting us nowhere. How about we fight the monster then we leave." I said

They both stopped arguing, looked at each other, then back at me

They nodded their heads

So we rushed to the monster.

"Oh no! it Alecto's sisters," Isabella said

"You mean the kindly ones," I said

"Finally, Percy keeps on calling them by their real name when they keep on telling him that names have power over and over again," Isabella said

"Hey! Whatever let's kill this monster and leave." Percy said

We charged and slashed the monsters quickly, The furies turned to golden dust.

"Whew, that was close," Percy said

"Now, we can leave," Isabella said

"Wait, before we leave. I have to go to use the restroom." I said.

"Ok, but you need to hurry up because we need to leave now," Percy said

"I know. I'll be quick." I said

I rushed to the bathroom to wash my face. When I got there, I finally saw the word loser on my forehead.

I frowned and quickly washing my face.

Once it got out, I went back to the hallway.

"I'm done," I said

"Good, let's go," Isabella said

Isabella holds me and Percy's hands then shadow travel to a tree standing on a hill.
