I guess I should formally introduce myself, my name is Kale Leighton, I'm fifteen years old. As I explained before, I'v been on the run for quite a while. That's until fellow demi-gods found me and took me in. I'd always found it hard to fit in, i'v never been able to understand things like others around me. Images and pictures tended to blur, words were unreadable for me except for one book. Now this is going to sound ridiculous to the people who still think this story is just fiction but when I read Percy Jackson and the lightning thief something inside of me came alive. It was like until the moment I read this book everything around me seemed dull and lifeless like my whole life was for nothing, reading this book opened up my eyes and as you can imagine sitting in a class full of students when I discovered this kind of made me look crazy.
It was at the stage when I accidental evaporated the school using lightning that I decided I should probably leave and try to find camp half-blood so I could live a somewhat normal life. Right about now your probably thinking this story is going abnormally fast, you have no idea whats going on or why I ran from the demi-gods that have now thankfully taken me to safety. So I'm going to start from the beginning where it all started, to the moment where I meet the man that changed my life.
It all began in History.
We had been learning about mythology for weeks now and to be completely honest I found the whole subject completely boring especially since my pimpled faced friend continued to stare at my face longingly. Okay so she wasn't exactly my friend but I guess I just happen to be the only one that pays her attention, and that just happens to make me number one on the bottom of the social list underneath the goths and nerds. Lucky me.
Jenna continued to stare at my face without glancing away for long periods of time and it was beginning to get on my last nerve. I wasn't exactly ugly, i'v been called one of the best looking guys at the school, i'v hear whispered conversations from girls various times but none of that gave me any satisfaction. All I cared about was getting good grades so I could get out of the house I call home. My mother tried to provide for me but being poor wasn't exactly helping. My father whoever the hell he is, isn't around. A lot of people think of me as a troubled teenager and the truth is, yeah maybe i'm a little troubled, I don't exactly have any good memories at all in my short depressing life and as school continues it makes me realize that I don't have any Friends at all. Except Jenna that is but she doesn't say a word, she just sits there and stares like she's doing right now.
Snapping out of my thoughts I concentrated on what Mrs. Dentra was saying, Mrs. Dentra was most known for having random fits in short periods of time. It was really quite amusing as long as you were the one not getting told off. I listened as she explained Zeus 'God of the sky' and frowned as my heart beat increased ever so slightly, but weirdly enough my heart beat went back to its normal original heart race when she talked about the excursion we'd be going on tomorrow which personally i'd rather not go to.
When the bell rang I ran out of class fast enough to only hear the echo of a teachers voice telling me not to run in the corridors. As if i'd actually listen. When I'd reached home it was only then that i'd stopped running, being well aware that my mothers new 'boyfrend' was probably to sleeping off a hangover I walked lightly on my feet, still rembering the wrath I faced when I accidently woke him last time. closing the door to my room I sighed, thank God. If only I could find a way not to go to the excursion tommorow.
Me and excursions actually agreed, it was the fact that the whole of year ten would be attending that worried me. Ever since I accidently tripped the ever so tank football player Sam, they've had it out for me. I'v always been a good runner so I was manage to dodge and squezzle my way out of confrontation with him at school but on excursions.... lets just hope I don't have to attend.
