*Percy*

                           It was the day of the competition. I was making my way to the track. To win the competition, I had to run about a meal, jump over ten hurdles, swim 500 yards, get a bull's-eye on the target to open a door, slide under five low bars, swing on bars over a pit of spikes for fifty feet, scale a twenty foot rock wall, and run for the finish line another ten feet.

                           Bianca stopped and looked up at me with a proud smile. She pulled me in for an affectionate hug.

                          "Go out there a win the universe, Percy." she whispered, and walked for the bleachers with the rest of my team, who wished me good luck. I walked down the hall to the track. Through the window, I could see my competitors.

                          There was a girl with sleek dark hair that fell inches below her shoulders. It was down. She was talking with a boy who had cinnamon curls, and startling deep purple eyes. He smiled at her. They kissed, and the boy head for the stands. She pulled her hair back in a ponytail, and started stretching.

                            My other competitor was a blonde, he had bright blue eyes. He was talking to a brunette. The brunette hugged him, they kissed, and she left, waving at him as she sat in the bleachers, next to a boy with brown curls, and oil smears hiding his face. As far as I could tell, if he had any eyes at all, they were probably brown. He was fiddling with something in his hand, and he kept bouncing in his seat, like he was highly caffeinated.

                          As I walked up to my lane next in between my competitors, I could see better details. The blonde had a scar right under his lip, and the girl had a bruises that she was obviously trying to hide. The girl turned to me and smiled, holding out her hand, and I shook it.

                        "Julia Crook, Nyx."

                         "Percy Jackson." The boy next to me suddenly turned to me and his jaw dropped. He wrapped me in a hug and I sat there awkwardly.

                        "Do we..... know each other?" I asked him nervously. He looked at me in disbelief.

                          "You don't remember me? Jason Grace?" I shook my head.

                         "Never had the pleasure. Maybe you know a different Percy Jackson?" Jason shook his head.

                           "Not a chance. You're definitely him. Don't worry, we'll figure this out after the competition."

                           My heart raced. I was half way up the climbing wall. Julia was a couple feet ahead of me, Jason was approaching the base of the wall. I was filled with a burst of energy, I raced up the rock wall and pulled ahead of Julia. Suddenly, in the crowd I could hear Bianca cheering for me, and I crossed the finish line in first. The crowd cheered

                            Jason smiled as he finished in third and gave me a thumbs up. Julia grinned and high fived me.

                            "Great Job, Percy!" she congratulated.

                             "Yeah, you deserve it." Jason chimed in. Suddenly, a woman in black pulled Julia aside. As I was pulled away by the crowd, I lost sight of her, but when I saw her again, she was at the back, her face flushed red, and her eyes red from crying. She had a fresh red mark on her cheek that was turning purple. Jason gave her a hug, and she started crying. I would have to talk to her later.

                               "Great job, I'm so proud of you!" I heard someone say from behind me. I turned to see Bianca. I smiled at her. 

                                "How'd I do?" I asked.

                                " Your climbing is a little rusty, your bars could use some work, you stumbled on the hurdles twice and your archery-"

                                  I silenced her with a kiss. Everything seemed to go silent. I finally pulled away, and Bianca stood there, stunned.

                                  " How'd I do now?" she smiled, and pulled me in for another kiss.

                                  "Perfect."
