A new start (A Percy Jackson story)

Telling my friends

Chapter 2: Telling the friends
DISCLAIMER: I'm pretty sure I'm not Rick Riordan...

So... I appreciate ideas for what will happen later in the story, I've gotten wishes of overprotective dad and brother, which will come in 1 or 2 chapters:) Also, Percy's eating and sleeping problems will get better, and Poseidon will cheer Percy up (Any ideas how he will do this?)

Write ideas in a review! (::) (::)

No one's POV

Next day at camp

I got out of my cabin early to avoid missing another class. I went to the mess hall and sat down at my table to eat breakfast. All of my friends rushed over as soon as I reached the bench. "Do you think you're okay?" "We were so worried!" says the group. "Chiron said you were sick." "How come we couldn't pay you a visit?" I just stared at them, perplexed, until I realized they were talking about yesterday, when my father and I had spent the whole day inside talking. "Do you mean yesterday?" "Ummm...do you mean yesterday?" With a nervous chuckle, I claim. Annabeth appeared at that precise moment "Argh! Seaweed Brain! What's the slowest you can go? Of course, they're referring to the previous day! You were sick, according to Chiron. However, you seem to be in good health." She finishes and She looks at me with stormy, grey, calculating eyes, as if she's trying to suck all my secrets from the deepest recesses of my mind. "I wasn't ill..." says the narrator. "What do you mean you weren't sick?" I mumble. "I was concerned!" Annabeth says something threatening. "Well, you see..." says the narrator. "Seaweed brain?" I ask. "Well, you see... Dad came over yesterday when I couldn't sleep and we talked all night and day and he offered me to stay with him!" her voice was now so frightening that I just let it all out. "Wait, what?" "When I couldn't sleep, my father, Poseidon, came over and invited me to stay with him in Atlantis." They were all silently staring at me.

"Did your father pay you a visit?" Jason asks quietly. This is why I didn't want to tell you guys don't be sad, your mothers or fathers are the ones missing out! I tried to encourage them. their faces light up and Leo steps forward "Tots, I mean my dad must be the one missing out, I mean, I'm me!" Everyone chuckles at him, that took away all the seriousness of the situation "Watch it firebug! If your ego gets any bigger you might explode" Hazel says in mock-seriousness. Leo looks offended "Hey! My ego isn't big!" "Sure Leo...sure..." Piper giggles, then she looks serious again, pretending such a sound never escaped her mouth.

"So...? Did u say yes? When are you leaving? How is your dad? What about Amphitrite? And Triton? Where will you stay? Are there enough enchiladas? And tin cans? DID YOU SAY YES?" Grover looks at me expectantly, "Um.. yes, I don't know. He's cool. Probably gonna incinerate me. Cut me in pieces and feed me to the guard octopus. In a room..? I'm sure I'll be well-fed. Tin cans Grover, really? So are you guys sure you're okay with it?" The last part comes out nervously, I really want to go, but not if that means I'll upset my friends.

Jason speaks up first; "Of course! It's not your fault our parents are dicks!" *thunder rumbling* Jason pales, "Sorry!" he shouts toward the sky. "Yeah, as long as you stay in touch" Piper says, now serious. Everyone else voices their opinion at once. "Have fun!" (Hazel), "Blow something up for me, will ya" (Leo) "Take pictures!" (Frank) "Blahaha...Don't get incinerated, or fed to a guard octopus" (Grover) "Bring me a book with pictures of the architecture! I've heard it's amazing!" (Annabeth) This continued the rest of breakfast, and I got more and more excited to leave for my fathers palace. Now all I had to worry about was a angry stepmom and a super-cold and probably super-evil brother.
