Mortals Meet Percabeth

Holly Breicket

My hand glided through the water as I readied myself for the flipturn that was coming. My hand came out of the water and back in several times before I somersaulted and pushed of the wall. I finished my 800 m freestyle.

You're probably confused because you're not a swimmer. I was at a swim meet, I'm the captain of the team. I got myself ready to meet a famous swimmer who came here to look at how I preform. Ahhh! I'm so excited! I'm eighteen and about to go into college, this was my last opportunity to show what I've got and to get a scholarship. I really need this, I don't have enough money to go to college other wise, and the fact that big time ex_swimmer Percy Jackson was coming to look at my swimming was surreal.

I walked over to the opposite side of the pool deck where my coach was waiting with a handsome man. I edged towards them and heard the man talking to my coach about being able to take a swim after. When I got even closer I recognised the man as Percy Jackson. Yes, he is 30 but you'de after with me when I say that any day I would date him

"And this is my star swimmer Holly!" My coach said getting me out of my head. He gestured to me and Percy shook my hand. I am on cloud nine, was all I could think. The campus Percy Jackson was shaking my hand.

"Holly, your swimming is really great, just work on your early vertical forearm more when your doing sprints and don't even take the tri iesrause when your pushing off the wall for your flipturn. Over all, you're really great just those things, but I think you have a place on the swim team at sun valley university." He smiled at me. My heart stopped. Thus is a dream. I just got a scholarship! My inner excitement was about to explode when a black haired boy came running up next to Percy.

"Luke! I told you not to run on the pool deck! And does  your mother know where you are?" Percy squateed down and picked the boy up. The boy, Luke crossed his arms.

" Yessss dad. I'm four years old! I'm more mature than you! Why cant I come over here by myself!?" I was stunned, a four year old this articulate?" Oh hi, who are you?" Luke questioned with his startling grey eyes.

I smiled he would be a looker. "I'm holly, and you're Luke from what I can tell." He frowned,

"Are you a stalker or something?"  Really, did a four year old just ask me that? What has this world come to?!

"Sorry,about that. He just likes to express his thoughts-"

"Like his mother..." Said a woman with  curly blonde hair and grey eyes. She was beautiful but I could tell by of the ring on her finger that she was Mrs. Jackson.

I smiled at the beautiful woman but realized that my time for conversation was ticking away."your very generous husband just offered me a scholarship and I'm very grateful, but i really have to go. So sorry I couldn't talk longer but my boyfriend's picking me up at 4:00." I looked at my watch. "Its already 3:40...thank you so much! Have a good day. Oh and bye Luke." I waved at the small boy and walked towards the changing room. I just talked to Percy Jackson his son and wife. Best day ever...

I need names!!!!
