Alyssa's pov

"What is wrong with you Alyssa? Another detention! This is the second one in the month!" My sweet sweet mother exclaimed. Come on now it was not my fault that the mean girls were bullying an innocent student!

I had to show them. A few punches and slaps here and there don't cause much damage. Right? But still I got detention, that too for 3 days straight. Imagine the pain.

My mom is not the easiest person in the world when it comes to detentions and anything that will ruin my chance to go to a reputed college. She can overreact sometimes but I love her to bits.

She's just having one of her moments now.

"Oh Aly! What am I gonna do with you? Can't you see? I'm doing all this for your own good!" She sighed.

"I'm sorry mom. I'll try my best not to get into trouble anymore, ok?" She smiled and hugged me.

"Ok but this is the last time ok? Now go change and I'll get out some cookies and milk for you."

I let out a squeal and ran off to my cave. Yes my room looks more like a cave than a normal teenagers room. But who cares?

*****Next morning at school****

Mornings are the worst part of the day. I don't get how someone can be a morning person? I want to just lie in the comfort of my bed and hide away from the horrors the world has in store for me.

"ALY!! YOU WILL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!! WAKE UP!"

And that my friends is my cue. I harshly drag myself from the bed, probably looking like a fricking zombie.

I finished my morning routine and changed into my dark jeans and blue polo shirt. Classic I know.

6:45. Shit!!

*Honk* *Honk*

"Aly! Venessa is here!" My mom shouted from downstairs.

"Coming mom!"

I ran down the stairs while trying to put my books inside my bag. Half running half tripping.

I grabbed a banana from the dining table, kissed my mom goodbye and rushed out of the door.

"I'll leave next time if you don't come on time. " Ven aka by bff threatened me. I just rolled my eyes and turned up the radio. Demon by imagine dragons was playing and me and ven sang the lyrics till we reached the school.

Yancy academy is like any typical highschool out there. Stereotypical jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, emo, etc...

But the good thing about this place is that people don't give a damn. And I like it that way.

The classes dragged slowly but finally it was lunch. Venessa had already got her tray full or unhealthy junk food available in the cafeteria. I brought a bowl of salmon salad. Ven raised an eyebrow at my choice of food.

"I don't feel like eating much today." I rolled my eyes.

Rest of the day was equally uneventful and it was finally time for detention. Huff!

I stood in front of the detention class, debating if I should go in or just go home and sleep. But then my mom will be receiving a call from the school.

I opened the door and immediately cringed at the sight. This room was full of brats and people I never want to associate with.

The teacher was sleeping with his head down on the desk. Seeing the bald spot on his head I'm assuming it was Mr Ross.

I sat in the corner of the class plugging my headphones in my phone. Nothing is more relaxing than good music. Music blasted in my ears and I kept my eyes open. You can never be sure with these delinquents around.

The door opened and another person I din't want to see made an appearance. Percy Jackson. The school's favourite boy. I would say popular but the popular crowd is way to rude and snobby, which he is not.

Percy Jackson is a everyone's favourite. Everyone wants to be his friend or girlfriend. He has everything an ideal human should have. He is nice, friendly, sweet, brave, confident. Basically everything you want in a guy.

But I still dislike him. I don't hate him but I really don't like him. He is just so perfect that I can't bring myself to like him. Maybe because it gives me a reality check. How imperfect my life is Weave never spoken to each other. Ever. And I'm happy about it.

I turned the other side and looked out of the window. I felt movement around me and saw percy seated on the seat in front of me.

I decided to ignore his presence.

I felt a tap on my desk and looked up. Percy was smiling at me. I removed my headphones and looked at him in confusion.

"Hi I'm percy. You are Alyssa right?" He asked with a crooked smile.

"I know who you are. How do you know me?" I asked suspiciously. Is he stalking me?!

"You'r friend Venessa told me. We just met outside. I had detention as well so she told me to keep you company." I'm going to kill my best friend today.

"Oh. Well you don't have to. I'm perfectly fine here. You can go to you'r friends." I said.

"It's alright. None of my friends are here." He answered.

"Oh." Just end the conversation already.

"How did you get yourself in detention anyway?" Here we go again.

"I punched a girl." I said.

"Oh really? Why?" He asked curiously.

"She was bulling another girl. I couldn't stand it and punched her. Word got around and I got a detention."

"That was very brave of you. Not many people stand up for others." He said.

"Thanks I guess?" I said.

"What got you into detention?" I asked. Why am i doing this?

"Uh I dropped my coffee on Mrs Smith's new white dress." He said, he din't look sorry at all. I narrowed my eyes at him.

He sighed "It was a dare."

"Uh hu". And the conversation continued......

*******************************
"Bye Alyssa! See you tomorrow!" Percy shouted from the other side of the parking lot. I smiled and waved back.

"Bye!"

I don't know what's wrong with me. For the past 2 1/2 years I've been despising percy for absolutely no reason!

He is as wonderful as people say. I judged him in so many ways that I'm ashamed of myself.

But now I've come to understand him. He is a nice, caring and cute guy. He loves his mother to death and can do anything for his friends. Maybe now we can develop a friendship.

***

"Mom I'm home!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as I entered my house.

"Ugh stop yelling Aly! You'r gonna burst my eardrums someday." My mom replied from the kitchen.

I ran upstairs to my room and threw my bad on the table and plonked myself on my bed.

Today was tiring.
*******************************

I reached school in my usual snappy mood. Today was monday. Venessa had to drop her brother before school so I had to come here alone, which din't help with the mood.

I took out my necessary books out of my locker and waited for Venessa. It has been a week since my detentions were over. Percy din't have the other two days of detention but we meet before lunch, in the parking lot a few times.

I don't know why but I want to see him again and again. We have established a good friendship now. I no longer dislike him.

The first day venessa saw me speaking to percy, she thought she was hallucinating. She got over it.

"Why are you walking around like a zombie?" I turned around and saw percy standing there with his gorgeous smile.

Yes, i said gorgeous. Let's appreciate god's hardwork.

"It's Monday. Shall I say more?" I said. He nodded in understanding.

Our conversation started and continued till Ven came. Then we parted ways.

"You totally like him." My bff muttered during class.

"What?"

"Your crushing on Percy aren't you?" She replied with a smirk.

"I'm absolutely not! What are you thinking?" I tried to keep my voice in check. Don't need another detention.

"Keep telling yourself that." She sang and continue to copy my notes.

******************************

I like percy.

I brainstormed for the last 3 days on what Ven said and finally discovered the fact that I indeed like Percy.

I don't know if I'm ever going to tell him or not but I sure feel a strong connection. Maybe he feels something too?

*************************

A few days have passed since my confession to myself about my feelings. I told Venessa and she suggested I tell him how I feel. I immediately refused. No way in hell I'm telling him.

Right now watching Netflix with a bowl of butter popcorn feels like the best idea.

So that's exactly what I'm doing for the past 2 hours. Mom had gone out for shopping and won't be back soon. She's a shopoholic.

The doorbell rang and I reluctantly pushed myself out of the comfortable couch.

I opened the door and surprisingly my mom came back way too early. And behind her was . . . percy.

What is he doing here?

He smiled when he saw me and my mom ushered him in.

Do they know each other?

"Aly! Go pack your bag. You are going to a camp for a couple of weeks. Fast." My mom said and went in the kitchen.

"Mom, what's happening? Why is percy here?" I asked in confusion.

"Because he is taking you to the camp. He will explain everything to you on the way." Mom replied and pushed me towards the stairs. "I'm packing a few cookies for you and percy."

I packed a small suitcase and came down. Percy and mom were standing near the front door whispering to each other.

We said our goodbyes and settled in Percy's car. We were silently moving but i had so many questions.

"What's going on?" I finally asked.

"Alyssa you are a demigod and I'm taking you to camp half-blood......." He continued to explain the whole thing about being a demigod and the camp, the Roman camp, the wars etc...

"I can't believe this! My whole existence was a lie?! My own Mom din't think it was important to tell me my dad is a fricking god?! I grew up thinking he din't want us and left, when he was on fricking Olympics!" I seethed.

"Olympus" percy muttered but I glared at him.

******************"************

We reached under a mountain and started climbing up.

"So who is my dad?" I asked.

"We don't know yet. But as soon as you cross the camp border we will know." He replied.

"Who is your dad?"

"Posiedon. God of the sea." He replied with a smile. I smiled back.

"So you must be very powerful."

"Umm I'm pretty good at what I do. Except for a few things." He said. We reached the top. We entered the border and percy looked at the top of my head.

"You'r a Hermes kid" he said.

"Oh."

"Yeah you have a lot of brothers and sisters around." He said as if it was a good thing. I was never good with siblings. Whenever my cousin's arrived i always locked myself in my room with enough snacks to last a week.

"Sandra will show you around. She is from the same cabin as you. See you around." Percy said and jogged towards a group of teenagers.

I sighed and let Sandra show me around the camp.

*******************
(Fast forward to dinner)

I like Sandra. She is 3 years younger than me and very bubbly and active. She showed me around the camp and introduced me to some people.

I din't see percy the rest of the day but I'm sure I'll see him during dinner. Maybe i can convince him to sit with me. After all i don't know many of them.

The Hermes cabin lined up to go to the dining pavillion. I had see the dining area before, with Sandra, but now that it's filled with so many camper's it's hard to recognise. Everyone was chattering away with their friends. I felt a tug on my hand and saw Sandra pulling me to sit beside her. I smiled and sat there.

I looked around but percy was not here. Is he not hungry? That's not possible, that boy is always hungry. When everyone settled down Chiron came in - i met him too earlier.

Dinner started- still no percy.

We burned our food for the gods and continued eating.

"Hey Sandra. Do you know where Percy is?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, he's right there on the last table with his friends." She turned and subtly pointed to the table a few tables away. The last one.

"Why are they setting there? Why only 8 people?" I asked.

"They are all a group. Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, Nico, Calypso and Tyson. Tyson is here to visit them. He is Percy's brother." She replied.

"Oh are they close?"

"More than you can imagine." She said.

Dinner went on and later it was time for s'mores. Percy finally locked eyes with me and smiled. I smiled back. Finally I'll have percy to myself.

I guess not. He brought his whole gang over to where i was seated.

"Hey Alyssa." He greeted me.

"Hey Percy." I replied shyly. All of his friends were watching me, the girl with feather in her hair had narrowed her eyes at me.

"Guys this is Alyssa. The girl I brought here with me today. She's a Hermes kid." I waved at them.

"Alyssa these are my brothers, Jason, Nico and Tyson. My best friends Piper, Calypso and Leo. And my girlfriend Annabeth." I was shattered. Maybe it's a good thing I din't tell him about my crush/liking. It would only humiliate in further.

"Oh that's nice. I just remembered I had to help sandra with something. I'll see you guys later?" I said and rushed out of there before the tears could fall.

Why did life had to be so unfair.

I was sitting under a huge tree when i heard leaves crunching behind me. I turned around to see piper standing there.

"I know you like percy." She said

"Is it that obvious?" I scoffed.

"Nope, but being the daughter of Aphrodite, I know stuff." She said and sat next to me.

"Don't dwell on it Alyssa. You are not the first to feel an attraction towards him and definitely not the last. He is oblivious about such things. He only see's Annabeth. Loyalty is his fatal flaw. He is so loyal he refused yo be a god to stay with Annabeth." She said.

"What? He did that?" I asked in astonishment. How can anyone say no to be a god.

"Yes he did. You don't waste your time behind him. You will meet your match really soon." She said and got up to leave.

"How do you know that? That I'll meet him soon?" I asked.

"Being the daughter to Aphrodite, I know stuff." She winked and left.

Huh i stared at her till she disappeared.

"Oh fuck! What the hell!" A deep voice cried out behind me. I turned around and saw a saw a boy around my age limping towards my direction.

"Hi I'm Jonny. And you are?"

I smiled.

"I'm Alyssa."
