Percy Jackson
Chapter 1
I'm just your average guy!
I woke up. I woke up screaming, "SHIT!" Just another normal day, in my normal life. Sort of. I immediately looked at my alarm clock to check the time. But I couldn't see it. I got up half naked, the only thing I was wearing was boxers. Now imagine me half naked in my boxer briefs, ladies. Just kidding! I'm not really your ideal guy and EWW imagining me half naked? Shame on you! Well moving on from that… I'm not really anyone's ideal guy. I'm a scrawny kid in 8th grade around 5'6. I have black messy black hair, and have sea green eyes. I wear black glasses because when I was in 6th grade I realized I needed them.
I found my glasses on my desk right next to my bed. You see I'm not an organized guy. Not the pig messy, but unorganized. I'm not the smartest and I'm not the dumbest. Personally I believe no one is dumb, some people may have trouble understanding things but that doesn't mean their dumb. Their intelligent in their own way, I believe those people understand different things better than some people. Like art for an example. I don't get art. End of story…
As I said before I'm not the dumbest but I'm also not the smartest. I'm not a straight A student. But you could consider me a B straight student? Is that a thing? I don't have B's in all my classes I usually get around B-'s, B+'s, B's, and C's at times… You may be asking, "Wow Percy? Percy being smart?!" Yeah I know. I'll explain later.
At school or in general. I don't have friends. And I have trouble making them. I'm an awkward guy you see… Even worse if I'm around girls… That's another story that I will most likely never tell… I'm not really interesting too. I just watch TV and study if I have tests coming up.
"Wait what was I doing?" I said. Oh yeah getting ready for school, you genius. I checked the time and saw that it was 9:00am. "Is this too good to be true? " "No, Percy. It's not. Now go get ready!" Replied my mom outside my room, hearing her chuckling. "You're just like your dad." My mom said (Which I'm pretty sure she was because I'm her son.) smiling. Let's not talk about my dad, okay?
It was now 9:02 and I opened my door to go to the bathroom. I walked to the bathroom taking a shower and eventually putting on clothes. Do you think I'm going naked to school? Maybe actually… Moving on from that weird thought I went back inside my room and opened my closet. I decided to wear a blue hoodie with white strings on it, with a black shirt underneath. Then I put on black jeans and wore worn down black and white Nike running shoes with some small holes on them.
I opened my door and then I entered the kitchen and cheerfully said, "Good morning mom!" HAH just kidding! Why would I be cheerful? It's a Monday, I hate Mondays, for obvious reasons that you should know! "Good morning my little sea horse." My mom replied smiling as she was cooking pancakes. If you are wondering why she calls me my little sea horse. Don't. Nah I'm just kidding… But when I was a kid I loved the ocean and SpongeBob (I still watch it to this day!). I don't know why she chose sea horses but I honestly don't mind it. Unless she calls me her little sea horse in public.
I looked at the clock in our living room and saw that it was 9:20am. My mom looks like she just got done finishing making the pancakes and I just as I suspected. She was. I ate my pancakes with syrup. Who doesn't love syrup? As soon I was finished I thanked my mom when I was done eating I looked at the clock and saw that it was 9:25am. I brushed my teeth, got my book bag and opened the door and ran to school. School was around 3-5 blocks away so I just jogged there.
Anyway I live in the great New York City! It's crowded here at times but you get used to it. I forgot to explain that I lived in a small apartment with my mom. Our house has a living room + a kitchen all in one! A bathroom and 2 rooms! It's not the worst house and I'm grateful we have a house. My mom works at a candy shop near Times Square… I'm not sure how much she earns but it's probably not much.
I want to make my mom proud… I realized that in 7th grade. That if I kept slacking off, how am I going to help my mom? That's why I got my shit together. I've been trying so hard academically lately and as you can see it's paying off. I'm getting B's and C's. The first time I told my mom I got a B in Science and Math. She said, "Percy, what did I tell you about lying?" "I know mom. But look!" I replied. She looked at my grades smiling brushing off a piece curly brown hair from her eyes, eyes almost watering. Moving on from that, I want to get into a good High School and get a decent job to help my mom, and college. College is just a dream.
I realized that I was almost at my school so I decided to sprint to save time. I jogged up the stairs and I realized that it was 9:39am from looking at a clock at the hallway. I had to get in math class at 9:45 so I rushed.
As I entered math class I saw that there was a new kid. A new kid? In the middle of the school year? He had curly brown hair. He was looking outside the window so I couldn't see his facial features. Some people were inside the room chatting before school starts not paying attention to anything. But then he turned around and I realized that I've seen him before.
So? Is it good? Please let me know by reviewing! I'm sorry if I made any grammar and punctuation mistakes. Thanks for reading, :D ! By the way. Guess who's next in chapter 2? Tell me in the review section!
