Chapter One
Elle looked at the paper and groaned. She forgot how to spell, "Literature" again. "God, is it, L-i-t-u-r-a-t-u-r-e? or L-i-t-e-r-a-t-u-r-e?"

"Elle, having trouble?" her friend Jenna asked.

"No, just..."

"Just what?"

"I keep forgetting things, like to spell and do math."

"Maybe it was your lunch."

"No, it was the same thing I always have, so it couldn't be lunch."

"Oh, maybe Percy can help you then."

"That nerd? Are you crazy?" "I'm just trying to help."

"Help me get teased, no one hangs with Percy!"

"You do." Ugh, I hated to admit it but I did talk to Percy. Everybody called him a nerd because he always ranted about the Greek Gods. Something is with that kid that I don't understand, like he's hiding something. "Fine, I'll ask him." I grumbled and walked off to him. Normally students couldn't walk during class or just plain old working but this time we were allowed so I couldn't get in trouble. "Hey, Percy, I was wondering if you could help me." I whispered and people started to snicker. I turned red and Percy glanced at me. "With what?"

"Well, I, er, forgot how to spell "Literature"."

"Wait, you forgot?"

"Yeah, so?" Percy looked around and motioned me to follow him outside the classroom. "What?"

"Well, Elle, have you ever forgotten things like that?"

"May times, like I can't spell most words nor can I do my homework."

"Erm, you may find this hard to believe but you're a Half-Blood."

"Oh! Like the people Mr.Thaton talks about?"

"Yeah, them, you're a Half-Blood, you belong in Camp Half-Blood."

"Um, Percy, I still don't understand."

"You don't have to." I stared at him as the bell rang, it was time to leave. "Well, I'll take you there." Percy promised and I glanced at him and shrugged. "Okay, sure."

"Ooooo! Percy and Elle love each other!" Pam giggled and I glared at her, my face turning red. Wait, did I just blush? I sighed and walked back in the classroom with Percy. "Well, see ya!" I said to Percy and he nodded. I felt happy inside, but I shook my head, I couldn't be in love with Percy, after all wasn't he a nerd? But maybe not, maybe I was like him.

I walked outside and saw Percy waiting for me on the sidewalk. I walked towards him and he grinned. "Hello Elle, thought you wouldn't believe me."

"I do, don't worry."

"I hope I don't. Well we're going to Camp Half-Blood."

"Don't we need a taxi?"

"Uh, yeah..." Percy said and I laughed at his cluelessness. "Then you need to hail one down."

"Oh, yeah." I smirked as he hailed one down and we got in. "Where to?" the driver asked.

"Half Ave." I replied and Percy glanced at me, "You live there?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Nevermind." I shrugged as we stopped there. Percy and I got out to see my father running towards us. "Ah, hello Percy Jackson, here to take my daughter to camp?"

"Yes."

"Thank you then, Mr Jackson."

"No problem." I looked at Percy, then at my father. What was going on?
