Goode High School for Performing Arts

Chapter 1 - The new kid

BEEP , BEEP , BEEP

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock . I took a quick shower and wore my clothes . It was going to be another typical day at school . What school do I go to might you ask ? I go to Goode High School for Performing Arts . It isn't like the normal Goode High . This school is more to kids who have talents .

I'm Percy Jackson . I have a dream to be an actor and a singer . My dad , Poseidon , wanted me to be a marine biologist but I got my way . I think I am one of the hottest guys in school . Reason ?

I am in the school band , DemiGods . We always win in a battle of the bands.

I am a great actor and one of the best .

I have a good build . People have seen it when they watch me swimming in the school pool . I am also on the school swim team .

At school , everyone is known as a Half-Blood . It's a school official thing . Our soccer team is Half-Blood and our mascot is a Greek god . Apparently , our school loves Greek mythology .

Back to my day :

I walked downstairs and saw my mom serving my favourite blue pancakes . I sat down on a chair and ate it . My mom seemed to notice me after a few minutes .

"Morning Percy .", she greeted me .

"Morning Mom .", I said , my mouth half full . I continued eating .

"Your dad left early . He sends his love .", she said , washing the dishes . I almost choked . My dad was a guy who does not send love . He can't even say 'I'm proud of you ' to me . He must have something up his sleeve .

I put my plate in the sink , grabbed my bag and keys . I opened the door and started the engine of my car . It was a blue BMW . And I drove to school . I parked at my usual spot and walked inside . I went to my locker and opened it .

It consists of three shelves . The bottom one was for extra clothes . Above that , books . And above that , personal stuff like combs , mirror and deodorant . On my locker door were photos of my family and my medals . I am really proud of my locker . We were encouraged to decorate it . My wallpaper was sea green like my eyes and the carpet was blue .

As I closed my locker , three people walked up . One was my best friend Grover . He wants to be a dancer and songwriter . Next to him , was Nico . Nico was my cousin . He wanted to be an actor or comedian . I can barely imagine that because he is emo . Next to him was my other cousin , Thalia . She wants to be an actress .

"Hey man .", said Grover . We fist pumped .

"Hi , Perce .", said Nico .

"Hey .", said Thalia .

"I wonder what will happen today ?", I asked . They all rolled their eyes .

"Maybe Principal Butterson will finally realize that he wasn't suppose to punish the Stoll brothers like that .", said Thalia , sipping her latte . The Stoll brothers were pranksters and rumour has it that they want to be a band just like the Jonas brothers . Cue laughter .

We talked for a few minutes when Principal Butterson walked by with a middle-aged lady and a new student . I couldn't keep my eyes off of her .

She had blonde hair that curls like a princess' , tanned legs , a great smile and you could mistake her for some ordinary California Girl But the difference were her grey eyes . They were stormy grey and were familiar like the lady's . I guess that's her mom .

"Percy !", said Thalia , waving a hand in front of my face . I snapped out of my thoughts .

"What ?", I asked . Grover and Nico were grinning . The girl and the lady followed Principal Butterson into his office .

"You were drooling .", said Nico , containing his laughter .

"No I wasn't !", I denied . Grover cracked up . Suddenly , the door opened and the principal walked out with the California Girl . He looked around and noticed me .

"You four , quit your yapping and come over here !", we immediately approached him . "I want you to show the new student , Annabeth Chase , around . Show her the locker and the other rooms . I'll give you all passes .", he said , writing on a few pieces of paper .

He gave it to all of us and went inside . The door slammed shut .

I took a closer look at the new girl . She was wearing designer jeans , a green blouse and an owl necklace . She had a sling bag over one shoulder and held a few sheets of paper in the other hand .

"Hi , Annabeth . I'm Thalia .", said Thalia , introducing herself . Annabeth nodded .

"I'm Nico . Her cousin .", said Nico , smiling . Annabeth returned it .

"I'm Grover Underwood . Soon to be nominated as the best dancer in the world .", joked Grover , making Annabeth chuckle .

"I'm Percy Jackson .", I said sheepishly . We started to take her to her locker .

"So , why are you here ?", asked Thalia .

"Well , I didn't even want to be here . I want to be an architect but my mom insisted that I become a singer , actress and dancer . ", she explained .

We arrived at her locker and she opened it with the combination . Once done , she opened it . It was still dull seeming that she hasn't decorated it yet . Surprisingly , she took out some accessories and started decorating . Soon it looked all pretty with the wallpaper and the carpet . The wallpaper was green and the carpet was grey . The locker door was decorated with the same wallpaper and a whiteboard for notes . She stacked some of her books and files on the second floor . She took out some clothes and put them on the lowest floor . On the top one , she put a mirror , comb , emergency box and perfume .

She turned to look at us and we were all shocked .

"My mom told me that I might need those and she was right .", she said , before closing her locker . I bet her bag was ten times lighter now . We continued to take her around .We finally arrived at class . Just then , a bell rang and an announcement was made .

"All students are required to go to the assembly hall ."

We walked there .

"I wonder what this is about .", said Annabeth . I took her hand . She blushed and I sort of blushed . Suddenly , a familiar perky red-head walked up . Rachel . According to people , she is the best singer and that's what made her stuck up . She likes to paint and her paintings are prize winners .

"Hey Perce .", but then she noticed Annabeth .She immediately glared .

"Hi I'm Annabeth .", said Annabeth , introducing herself . I noticed that I was still holding Annabeth's hand . I let go . Thalia and Nico had vanished and Grover was sitting with his girl , Juniper .

Rachel was about to say something when a teacher , Ms Dreeson , told us to sit down . We did as we were told and waited for Principal Butterson to say something .

"Students , today is my birthday . So you can have the day off . But stay in school . If you go home , your parents might kill me .", he said . The whole school erupted in cheers . Everyone was dismissed . Rachel's face lit up and she walked over to Annabeth .

"Hey , we have an initiation if you're new .", she said . My eyes widened . Oh no . This is bad . The initiation was a prank . Like last year , a new girl was told to complete an obstacle course but ended up embarrassing herself when she slipped . What will Rachel make Annabeth do ?

"I don't think it's a good idea .", I muttered . Everyone around us seemed to pay attention when Rachel said 'initiation' . They all grinned .

"Are you kidding ? I can do this .", said Annabeth , enthusiastic . Rachel smiled .

"I have the perfect thing for you .", she said . I had a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach .

Do you like it ? SHould I continue ? Review me !
