5 More Years Later

Percy's POV

"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Percy, Happy Birthday to you!" All of my 'sisters' sang in unison. Today was August 18th, A.K.A. my birthday.

Mom said that she had something big to tell me. She said that it would, change me forever. Imagine that being said by the Wizard of Oz. Harper, one of the hunters, told me he had a very loud and powerful voice. At least, the guy that played him in the musical she saw did.

I blew out the candles of a blue iced cake that Mom had conjured up for this very moment. I've always liked the color blue. Probably because it's the color of the ocean when it's clear. I love the ocean.

Just then, Mom came up to me. "Percy, are you ready to find out what the big surprise is?" Mom asked me with an evil glint in her eyes. It was a very tiny one, but it was still there.

"Yeessss?" I said hesitating and questioning.

"Your going to be going to a boarding school called Yancy Academy this year."

I gapped at her like a fish.

School? Why? If it were to recruit hunters, a girl would be better.

"Why?"

"Well you see Percy, the hunter never age. The reason you do, is because you are male. If I were to send you to school, you would have to age through out the year or people could get suspicious. I want you to find girls that could be potential hunters, once you do, Iris Message me and I can send one of girl to come and retrieve her."

I thought about it in my head. I guess I'll have to 'take one for the team.' As they say, there's no I in team. But the wise words of Zoe Nightshade say, 'Yeah, and there's no u either.'

"Fine, I'll do it." I said giving in.

"You didn't have a choice." I turned around to see, you guessed it, Zoe right behind us.

I stuck my tongue out at her.

"Stop being so childish. You make me want to vomit." she said sarcastically with a hint of laughter in her tone. I couldn't help but smile.

"Just because your an elder to me doesn't mean you have to act like one." If looks could kill, I would've been killed, reborn, then killed again.

"Sorry, sorry! I take it back. Just stop looking at me like that. It's like your trying to kill my soul." I said waving my hands in front of my eyes.

"Maybe because I am. You've been a very bad boy Percy Jackson. Watch your back. The gods don't like you." She made her voice really low so it sounded like a creepy murderer was after me.

"Enough you two. This is a birthday party. That means, no scaring the birthday boy and party more." Phoebe said with two plates of cake in her hand. "Have some cake."

She gave each of us one plate and walked off to were the rest of the hunters were dancing to a radio that Mom had also summoned for the party.

Speaking of Mom, she must've walked off as soon as Zoe and I started our exchange.

That reminds me, school. I've heard bad things about from the other hunters. Rude and obnoxious boys, girls that only care about themselves, evil teachers, I could go on forever about the horrors of school. But the worst I've heard was, the bullies.

They call you bad names, beat you up, talk about you behind your back, start rumors, and try to make your life a living hell in general.

The worst is when a boy bullies a girl because they think they are more superior to them. That happened to Maddie, she joined the hunters because of bullies and abuse.

"Come on, lets go join the other hunters." Zoe said bring me out of my train of thoughts. I almost forgot she was there. Curse you ADHD.

I smiled and nodded. We made our way to the 'dance floor' and joined the rest of the hunters.

I am a line break named Afew Days Layter

"- and you'll need these notebooks, some No. 2 pencils, lead pencils, these binders, and some highlighters. The rest is provided at the school." If you couldn't tell, school starts tomorrow. Mom was getting me all ready with all the supplies I needed.

For the past few days, I've been finding information on Yancy and apparently, it's a school for trouble kids. I swear Zoe choose the school.

Mom then put all the stuff in my hands and told me to hold onto them until tomorrow. I nodded my head with a slight, 'uh huh' and made my way to my tent. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Afew Days Layter is very short

I stood in front of a huge dorm building, with all my stuff in hand. In my pocket was a small bag of drachmas just in case I need to do an emergency IM or I find some potential hunters.

Earlier today I had said goodbye to all the hunters. This was the first time I was going to be away from the hunters for a long period of time. It made me sad. I don't like being away from my family for too long.

I made my way towards the dorm building and looked for my room. Mom had given me a paper sent from the school that had my locker, dorm room, and roommate. My roommates name seemed very familiar but I couldn't but my finger on it. His name was Grover Underwood.

I finally found my room and unlocked it with a key I was sent. The room had blue walls with a big window between two white beds. There was a dresser with two sides, one for each person. Some shelves were hung on the walls for personal items, but I didn't have any that I wanted to showcase, at least. For example, my bow. That would not be a good idea.

Just as I was putting the last of my things away, two very familiar people opened the door.

Author's Note

I'M SO SO SO SORRY TO HAVE KEPT YOU WAITING FOR SO LONG! I got sick and cheer started and school is starting soon so I've been trying to find some time update this story. I got home from my second vacation about a week ago, so I planned to start this chapter ASAP. I started on August 18th, as you can tell from the beginning to, because I wanted a chapter to celebrate his birthday, but I had to leave because I was going out to see a movie and hang out with my friends.

As for who Percy will date, I came up with an idea that would make everyone at least semi happy.

So most people don't have just one boy/girlfriend right? So, Percy will date Annabeth during what would be the first series timeline, and Zoe for what would be the second series timeline. I have it all planned out so you all get your daily dose of Percabeth or Perzoe.

Shout out to Silo666 for being my 100th reviewer! Everyone who has reviewed has made my dreams come true. Thank you all so much! :)
