Tommy Andrews POV (didn't expect that did you?)
Today was the weirdest day of my life. First, this really hot new girl didn't drop to her knees begging me to go out with her after I gave her one of my pick up lines. Second, I find out that the previously mention hot girl was dating Jackson, Percy flipping Jackson, the guy who stole a lot of the girls that I had in jr. high when he came here freshman year. He stole them and didn't even go for them. First, he says that he likes someone else, that she is a friend from a mysterious summer camp and lives in San Francisco, then he says he had a girlfriend. Seriously, he has tapped nobody at this school. What. An. Idiot. Seriously, he only makes friends. If you have the looks, which I will grudgingly admit he does, use them.
Anyway, that was so off topic, stupid ADHD, I hate you. Anyway, back to the weirdness of my day, it all started to go down hill when there was a freak earthquake at lunch. You could hear a woman's voice saying something about a late birthday present and mist being gone? I don't know. But I do know that as she laughed and her voice faded away, I could see like it was the first time in forever.(huh huh :) :) ) I'm not talking about my dyslexia going away and I being able to read now. I'm talking about just seeing. It felt like a film that had been on my eyes my whole life had suddenly been removed. I looked around in wonder, like most of the people around me. I could make out a white mist swirling and dissipating, though somehow reluctantly, like it was leaving forever and it didn't want to go. I saw a group of kids by a lunch table looking at each other like the world had just ended.
Meanwhile, the people around me were freaking out as much as I was, just not internally. When the noise level seemed to much, the new history teach in a wheelchair shouted "Silence," then in a quieter tone," please calm down everyone, all will be explained to you in time. Just calm down and wait, preferably inside the school. I think the gymnasium would be appropriate." This last part he said to the principal who I saw had come running outside to aid to the screaming as the teachers who had come out to the courtyard had everyone moving towards the doors.
Just then, something that could only be described as a bellow rang out. I saw Jackson look at his girlfriend with a Really, not again! look, then he spoke and what he spoke just made this the weirdest day of my life so far. He told his companions that he was standing with earlier to create a semicircle between us and some thing that I could faintly hear lumbering and bellowing as it reached the courtyard. His friends complied and all stood at the ready, like there was going to be a fight. No, I could tell that there was going to be a fight. I could always tell when fights were gonna happen, don't ask me why. I rarely lost fights also, only to Jackson and I think he was holding back when he hit me and broke my jaw, in self defense might I grudgingly add.
Anyway, back to the bellowing monster lumbering towards us. I could tell what he was as soon as he stepped into the courtyard. The Minotaur. I was so shocked that I gladly stayed behind the protective barrier those other kids provided. Just then Jackson called out "Hey Hazel?",a small African American girl with cinnamon colored hair and golden eyes replied, "Yeah Percy?" He hollered back "Can you bring up a small border between you guys and I? Ground beef here doesn't turn so well when charging." That statement officially made me think that he was crazy. The Hazel girl looked at blondie, wait her name is Annabeth, yes I remembered her name. Anyway Hazel gave Annabeth a questioning look. Then a wall rose from the ground and a trench appeared, enclosing Jackson and the Minotaur. Then Jackson turned to face the monster more fully. Yep, he is out of his mind. All he did was take a pen out of his pocket and looked at the monster, seemingly egging him on.
I could tell that the monster had seen him or smelled or whatever. He bellowed again, scaring the rest of the students and adults around me. As I looked on at the two facing off, I could barely see Jackson slightly smiling. Then, the beast charged. I expected Jackson to start running, but no he just stayed there and jumped to the side at the last minute. I thought the minotaur would turn around and impale Jackson, but he just kept running, head to the ground, till he ran into the wall. Jackson did say something about it not being able to turn, like he had fought it before. The Minotaur turned around to charge again. Jackson just looked at him with a smirk on his face and uncapped the pen... wait is that a sword? Yep that is a glowing sword Jackson has confidently clutched in his hand. The Minotaur looked at the sword warily, like he was thinking about not charging because of it. He charge anyway, this time with his arms extended on both sides to catch Jackson either way he jumped.
At that moment I really thought Jackson was gonna die. But, in the last seconds as the minotaur was closing in, Jackson tensed and jumped high into the air, over the minotaur's head and needle point sharp horns. He landed in a crouch, spinning, and knocked the monster's legs out from underneath him. He landed hard on his side. While he was still down Jackson quickly stood up, swung down, and chopped of both the minotaur's horns in one destructive arch. As the monster howled in pain, trying to get to his knees, he raised his massive hands to where his horns used to be. With this movement he exposed a fatal chink in his insecure armor. That was all Jackson needed to raise his sword and strike. After the swords impact, I expected blood, but there wasn't any. The monster just turned into golden dust the smell of sulfur strong in the air. As the monster disintegrated, I noticed that the wall and trench were now gone , no longer needed. I looked at Jackson again, he wasn't sweating and his breathing was only slightly excellerated from the effort it took to kill one of the most famous monsters in Greek mythology.
He turned back around to the student body and staff, a skeptical look on his face, like he wasn't sure if we would flee from him next, or if we all would stay in place, with the shocked looks we currently had. I saw his friends and Mr. Brunner head towards him, smiles on their faces as they clapped him on the back. Then, Mr. Brunner started to speak, "As I was saying, I think it would be best if we all congregated in the gym for things to be explained. Percy, after you." Jackson looked at Mr. Brunner skeptically as he started forward, his hand intertwined with Annabeth's, towards the gym. Everyone made a path for him to walk through, still looking at him in shock. His companions followed him, then we all started following him.
Did ya like it? Did ya like it? Honestly tell me by reviewing. Don't know when gonna update next though, it is a random process of writer's block, writer's lack of enthusiasm, and a whole bunch of stuff. Until next time, that's all folks.
