“BFF” by Johnny D

     If I could pick any fictional character for a best friend it would be Percy Jackson from the “Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series” written by the amazing Rick Riordan. In our friendship Percy would be known as the attractive one and I would be known as the smart one. Percy would be the perfect best friend because he is a loyal friend, a good person, a demigod, was offered immortality, and most importantly goes to Camp HalfBlood with me. Camp HalfBlood is where all of the children of the Greek Gods go it is the only known safe place from monsters and other ancient creatures. Percy would show me sword fighting and introduce me to all his friends and I would show him how to solve an equation and use proper grammar. We would stay at CHB just during the summer like most demigods do. But now that you know about me and Percy let me tell you about the most incredible summer of all time! The summer started off not so great for two reasons the first reason was I’m being chased by an ogre and the second reason is how could monsters possibly be real! The ogre was pretty fast for being so big and he was only a block behind me and I knew I had to do something to lose him as soon as I had this epiphany I saw a alley and I had a feeling I was supposed to turn onto it. When I turned into the alley way I saw two beautiful horses (which is pretty weird for New York) but their was something different about them it took me a second to realise it was because they had wings. Slowly I started to accept the winged horses and when I looked away I saw a boy and a girl about three years older then me dressed in metal breastplates. I could tell they were yelling at me to come on but I couldn't hear them because the world I once knew was starting to diminish. I turned to see the ogre towering over me and that's when the two other kids jumped in and the monster was gone in about a minute then I collapsed. When I woke up I was in an infirmary but that's all i knew, I tried to get up but the pain started to spread through my whole body and I yelped with pain and the nurse ran over and gave me something to drink I didn't know exactly what it was but it tasted like my favorite drink hot chocolate when I was done drinking she walked in. The girl from the alley told me her name was annabeth and that i've been asleep for two days and also that i'm at a place called Camp HalfBlood a place for the children of the Greek Gods.when the nurse cleared me I headed over to the campfire because that felt like the right thing to do, I sat down in the very back so no one could see me. Halfway through the song the band stopped playing and looked at me and the rest of the camp followed after but I had no idea why and then I looked up and saw an owl glowing over me but I didn't know what I meant then the whole camp in unison said, “hail son of Athena”. The only thing I knew was that this was going to be an interesting summer.
