Chapter 2: Returning to Camp
I sat impatiently in Greek wishing for time to speed up. It was the last period before summer and I was bored to death. It was absolutely annoying how teachers tried to teach you things on the last day of school. Did they expect us to remember it? I usually enjoyed Greek but, presently it was the only thing keeping me from my awesome, goddess of a girlfriend, Annabeth Chase.
"So guys that is all for today. I hope you all have a marvelous summer break. You are dismissed at the bell," said Mrs. Wood the teacher. She smiled sweetly and headed back to her desk. I packed my bag and tapped my foot anxiously.
"60…50…40…," I murmured, counting down the seconds, "30….20…10….BRRRIIINNNGGG!" I jumped up and ran to the door. Sprinting through the hallways I ran to my locker and quickly put in the combination. Easing it open I stuffed all the books and garbage into my backpack. I stood up, slammed by locker and did a half turn.
"Hey Percy, "called the shrill voice of my only tormentor at school, Olivia. Instead of standing through one of her annoying flirting sessions I sprinted towards the parking lot. I stopped when I reached my car. It was a grey Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Hybrid Concept. It was my birthday present from my dad. It was also probably The sickest car you ever laid your eyes on.
Stepping in I drove like a mad man home. I took the apartment's stairs three at a time and reached the top in no time. I opened the front door and ran towards my room. "Hey Percy-"my mom started but, I did not get to hear the rest because I was furiously packing clothes for camp. I stuck my present for Annabeth in the bottom and shoved whatever clothes my hands touched in the bag. When I was done I stepped out of my room.
"Oh bye Percy" my mom said as I kissed her on the cheek, "and don't forget to tell Annabeth I said hi!" I then walked quickly out, my duffel bag over my shoulder and riptide in my pocket. The drive went like a blur. The highways were mysteriously empty but, I guess I had Aphrodite to thank for that. She loved my relationship with Annabeth and sometimes went out of her way to make the relationship easier or harder. Thankfully today she was feeling nice.
I pulled in at the bottom of Half-blood hill and began my ascent upwards. Reaching the top I looked around, finally I was home.
