I still don't own anything except for this really cool looking keyblade…on with the story.
Percy POV
So there I was chilling in the back waiting for the club thing to start when my Spanish teacher walked and clapped his hands.
"Alright everyone settle down. So this year is going to be th-." He started until the girl from earlier said "Mr. Shue we have a new member." His eyes scanned the group until they landed on me. "Hello, Percy nice to see you again, come on down and introduce yourself. I got up and went to the front of the room. Everyone's eyes were on me. I had no idea what to say until Mr. Shue asked me where I was from.
"Well, I'm from New York City, I lived in different places around it, nice to meet you all." Some people clapped as I headed back to my seat when Mr. Shue continued on with a little speech which I zoned out on until he asked everyone to start with warm ups. Everyone stood up and started making weird noises and stretching. The Guy with the Mohawk next to me was doing them half-heartedly, so I looked at Kurt and the girl whose name I found out was Mercedes. As I continued to look around I saw the cheerleader I noticed early with two others who were all talking among themselves. Once "warm ups" were done Mr. Shue said what this week's lesson is. 'Whoa lesson, what is-'then my phone started to vibrate in my pocket. At the top it read mom I hit decline and unlocked my phone. I texted my mother I was fine and put my phone back in my pocket. The kid next to me laughed.
He said "aw looks like someone is a momma's boy." I looked over at him with my eye brows raised. "Yeah what of it." Hey I'm not ashamed of it, my mom's the best person in the world plus I forgot to tell her I'm staying after school, what can a say, with my track record I understand. "Look I tend to get in trouble…a lot; she was just making sure I didn't set fire to a band room…again. He just gave me a weird look and then turned forward again. He would sometimes give me side glances. Once we were dismissed I started to make my way out the door when Mr. Shue called my name.
I turned around and he was standing by the piano looking at papers. "I need to talk to." So I walked over by him and he looked up over to me "so how was your first day of school." I gave him a very weird look and said "Fine."
"That's good, so are you enjoying it so far." Well I mean as much as you can enjoy a place that is a cliché high school movie." He laughed a little and then continued to speak. "Well I just wanted to talk to you about glee club. We have rehearsal after school and we have competitions our first one is in a couple months. I figured that Kurt and Mercedes have talked you into it. In order to perform we need fifteen participants. I watched you today and from what I saw it looks like you do not have any idea what you're doing, so I understand that you are okay with being a back ground person. I want people to be part of glee and enjoy singing so if you want I will try to help you. We already have people who can sing and not dance or the other way around. We can work on it after rehearsal if you want, just let me know." He gave me a smile and walked back into his side office.
I walked out of the school thinking about my options. I could see myself being in there with everyone. Kurt seemed nice and Mercedes was not too bad the cheerleaders I might have to watch out for who knows. Mr. Shue is nice enough and I might take him up on his offer. Who knows this Lima situation might not be so bad after all. I was walking through the neighborhood when I got home my mom was sitting at the kitchen table on the phone when she saw me she smiled and continued talking on the phone. I waved and went straight for the fridge and got out the milk and started to pour it into a glass. I turned around and mother hung up the phone. She turned and looked at me.
"So how was your first day." She looked at me with the optimism that somehow didn't get passed down to me. She sat back down at the table waiting for my reply. I put the milk away and replied "It was not the worst first day I've ever had, it was actually one of the better. I got dragged, literally, to a club. That is where I was at." I said as I sat down across from her. "I remember the text so what is the club?" I was thinking of a way I could explain what it was exactly. "Well I joined a glee club." She had a confused look on her face. "What is that exactly?" I took a deep breath. "Well it's like a choir, we sing and dance at competitions and school functions…and sometime randomly during lunch…apparently." She started to laugh and them noticed the look on my face. "Are you being serious Percy I never thought that you woul- you never talked about in the past, I'm sorry sweetie for laughing."
"Its fine mom I'm just as surprised about it as you are, but I guess if the club makes it to nationals then we go to New York, since that is where it is." She had a little sad look on her face. "Percy you are supposed to stay away from Olympus and take a break." She said as she got up. I was mad, who cares really, I don't need a break I just want to go home and if being in this club makes that happen so be it. I got up to. "Why does it even matter if I'm in New York or Lima ,Ohio. Either way monsters are still gonna attack me, I'm a demigod no matter where I go trouble will follow, it is just a matter of time before I get expelled from McKinley High any way." I yelled and started to run upstairs until my mom called after me. "Percy, I am sorry that you had to be taken from your life, this is hard for me too. I had no intentions of moving here and either did Paul. Poseidon came and talked to me one day when you were at camp. He did not tell me the specifics, but the gods wanted you to leave New York, for whatever reason I thought it best not to argue so the gods actually made this happen." I slowly came down stairs and gave my mom a hug. "Percy I know after what happened this past summer you wanted to stay with your friends, but I did not have a choice when Poseidon talked to me he looked really tired and was not like himself, so I said yes." I pulled away from the hug and gave her a small smile. "I'm sorry I got mad mom, I am just tired of being the gods's pawn that is all." I kissed her on the cheek and started to go up the stairs again and spoke. "I do think that I'm gonna go through with the glee club though some people seem really nice, I am probably going to take up Mr. Shue's offer." And then I went to bed.
So this is my second chapter. And I changed so much it is crazy. Hope you liked it.
