Yancy Academy reads the Lightning Thief (Original?)

Chappie 4- Grover unexpectedly loses his pants

'Is he a demigod?' wondered Annabeth. All half-bloods were thinking the same thing.

"I don't have memories of him, just this sort of warm glow, maybe the barest trace of his smile. My mom doesn't like to talk about him because it makes her sad. She has no pictures. See, they weren't married. She told me he was rich and important, and their relationship was a secret. Then one day, he set sail across the Atlantic on some important journey, and he never came back. Lost at sea, my mom told me. Not dead. Lost at sea."

The half bloods all silently agreed that this boy was a half-blood. They weren't sure who his dad was, though. Maybe a minor god?

"She worked odd jobs, took night classes to get her high school diploma, and raised me on her own. She never complained or got mad. Not even once. But I knew I wasn't an easy kid. Finally, she married Gabe Ugliano, who was nice for the first thirty seconds we knew him, then showed his true colors as a world-class jerk."

Everyone immediately glared at Gabe.

"When I was young, I nicknamed him Smelly Gabe. I'm sorry, but it's the truth. The guy reeked like moldy garlic pizza wrapped in gym shorts."

Everyone laughed as Gabe fumed.

"Between the two of us, we made my mom's life pretty hard. The way Smelly Gabe treated her, the way he and I got along . . . well, when I came home is a good example. I walked into our little apartment, hoping my mom would be home from work. Instead, Smelly Gabe was in the living room, playing poker with his buddies. The television blared ESPN. Chips and beer cans were strewn all over the carpet."

Everyone imitated barfing.

"Hardly looking up, he said around his cigar, "So, you're home. "Where's my mom?" "Working," he said. "You got any cash?" That was it. No Welcome back. Good to see you. How has your life been the last six months?"

"Seriously?!" Kaitlyn Everglades (A/N yes that's her last name) yelled.

"You're so horrible!" Yelled Amara Lera, a kid who was put in Yancy because of her extreme shyness. This was her first time speaking in public this year.

"Gabe had put on weight. He looked like a tuskless walrus in thrift-store clothes. He had about three hairs on his head, all combed over his bald scalp, as if that made him handsome or something."

"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" Everyone yelled, making Gabe fume.

"He managed the Electronics Mega-Mart in Queens, but he stayed home most of the time. I don't know why he hadn't been fired long before. He just kept on collecting paychecks, spending the money on cigars that made me nauseous, and on beer, of course. Always beer. Whenever I was home, he expected me to provide his gambling funds. He called that our "guy secret." Meaning, if I told my mom, he would punch my lights out."

"CHILD ABUSE!

"YOU'RE SO HORRIBLE!"

Everyone screamed at Gabe. Hunters, Demigods, Stayrs, Mortals, everyone. The Demigods and Hunters only known Percy for five minutes but if something happened to him they will kill everyone then themselves.

"I don't have any cash," I told him. He raised a greasy eyebrow.Gabe could sniff out money like a bloodhound, which was surprising, since his own smell should've covered up everything else."

"She's very smart!" whispered to another hunter named .

"You took a taxi from the bus station," he said. "Probably paid with a twenty. Got six, seven bucks in change. Somebody expects to live under this roof, he ought to carry his own weight. Am I right, Eddie?" Eddie, the super of the apartment building, looked at me with a twinge of sympathy. "Come on, Gabe," he said. "The kid just got here."
