Alex's Adventure: A Percy Jackson Fanfiction (Redone)

Chapter 1: School

"Alex, are you ready for you last day of 2nd grade?" mommy asked as she entered my bedroom. "Almost." I said as gathered the rest of my school stuff. "Okay. Grover will be here soon, so hurry." she said. I nodded and continued getting stuff as she left my room. Grover was the only friend I had in the building and at school; he was about 3 years older than me. He treated me like a little sister; keeping me out of trouble, helping me with my reading and keeping me focused because I have problems with that. Just then there was a knock at the door. And I heard my mommy say, "Good Morning, Grover." "Morning, Ms. Burns. Where's Alex?" Grover asked. "She's in her room getting stuff for school." she said. A second later Grover was standing in my doorway, "Ready to go?" he asked. I nodded, grabbed my backpack and followed Grover down the hallway to the living room. I walked into the living room and hugged my mommy good-bye. "I'll see you when you get home from school. I love you!" she said. "I love you, too!" I replied while following Grover to our apartment door. Grover waved good-bye before closing the door and started walking toward the front doors of our apartment building to go to school.

Our school, Stellar Academy, was only a few blocks from the our apartment building. It's a tradition, everyday we walk to school together and talk until the morning bell rings for class. Then we go to our separate classes and meet back up for lunch until the bell rings for afternoon classes. At the end of the day we meet in the cafeteria and walk home together. This being the last day of school we had other things we had to do like going to meet our next year teachers (if we were invited back, I didn't), getting extra recess time(if you aren't in trouble), getting popsicles and a speech at the end of the day from our principal. All of this means less classroom time, but it also means more time for me to get picked on. Amanda, one of the girls in my class, always seems to find my hiding places and picks on me. She only does it when Grover isn't in sight, and even then it still happens because Grover gets picked on by Amanda's older brother, Callum. So that's why I try to avoid people as much as possible, but that's also how I met Grover at the beginning of the year; from outcasts to best friends. I don't know where I'd be without him.
