With the Tide(a Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chapter 1: I see snakes. Can't wait to see how this will end.

~Charlie POV~

Hi. My name is Charlie Conners. And I am an average human being. At least I was. If I'm speaking and you know what I'm talking about. Just drop your device and run. This story was not my favorite. If anything it ruined my life but anyways let's just move on. It was just an average day at school no problems. I passed the biology quiz and I was going to the beach to surf after school. Life couldn't be better. And I was on the gymnastics team. Im a gymnast. We are the district champions and have been for the past 5 years. Here at Goode high School we have a lot of pride in our teams. But that can be a problem. The cheer squad. The cheer squad are our direct rivals. I honestly don't get them. With my dyslexia I can't even read the uniforms. I mean seriously who wants to wear something that looks like messed up spaghetti anyways. But back to why we hate them. We both have the same practice schedule I  the gym and they have problems sharing. This is why nobody likes being friends with the cheerleaders they are SO territorial. And they think that because they are the perfect cheerleaders they shouldn't have to share but do I care nope. We practice in the gym anyways. The cheer capitaine Nichole Venezuela just makes more problems. The other day she threw her Pompoms at me while I was doing my triple backflip and I nearly broke something. In fact I'm pretty sure the cheerleaders are not the only team who hates us. Gymnasts aren't really an actual school sport. Goode only did it because some rich kid threw a fit. The only team who doesn't hate us are the Archers. The Archers could care less they are also not a regular school sport so they understand us. But enough about my life problems let's go back to the fun stuff. I was walking out of school when my best friend Arianna Jackson appeared behind me.

"Hey Charlie!" She said "are you excited for the beach this afternoon?" I turned around

" your coming!?" I said with joy "I thought you couldn't make it!" She got even more bouncy at the hearing of this. Arianna is a tan girl with wavy blond hair and sea green eyes. She has more artistic ability than everyone I've ever met. She is even bouncier that a kid on 5 cans of Dr. Pepper. 

"Well that was true..." Arianna said "But my dad is a sucker for the sea so all it took was saying we were hanging out at the beach" I laughed. This was often the case. I'm pretty sure if Arianna's mom ,Annabeth Jackson, we're in charge our beach excursions wouldn't happen as often. Arianna's mom seems to have something against going out of the house. But enough about that,  2 words The Beach. The beach makes me so happy. My mom owns a nice surf shack on Long Island sound. It is her pride and joy and I go there everyday after school to surf. Surfing is my passion it honestly makes me the happiest person on the earth. Arianna's dad ,Percy Jackson, is a world class surfer. In fact my only goal in life right now is to beat him while surfing without almost dying. We won't go into the details of the incident until later tho. In short there key or may not have been an incident with some friendly neighborhood sharks. It honestly wasn't that bad it's not like I lost any limbs! But anyways I walked up to my mom's surf shack.

"MOM!" I called to her "I need my board where is it" she turned and looked at me

"It's right where you left it Charlene." I looked at her and rolled my eyes

" how many times have I told you not to call me Charlene!" I said with obvious frustration " Charlene is too much of a cheerleader name and I want to have no association with cheerleaders" honestly my mom thinks that if she calls me "Charlene" enough times that it will rub off on me. She is so wrong besides my dad always called me Charlie. Sure I never met him but that was how the story is told. Arianna and her parents walked up behind us.

"Hey Mandy!" Said Arianna's Dad "one board please" My mom smiled

"Of  course Mr. Jackson being that this is your 10th visit in a row this one is free of charge" my mom said. Arianna's Mom laughed

"You always say that Mandy" said Mrs. Jackson " you really don't have to" my mom looked at her and laughed

"I know Annabeth but you are my most loyal patrons" she said " I insist"

And with that we ran down to the beach.

I love the beach, it Is one of my favorite places in the world. Just feeling the sand between my toes and the sea spray on my skin could make my day. I ran into the ocean with my board and waited. My board is my most valued possession. It only is because my dad gave it to me. It is a beautiful teal to purple ombré with seashell designs. How do I know it came from my dad? Well technically I don't. I only believe this because there is no other explanation. Surf boards don't just show up on the doorstep with the inscription "for my special sea star" on them. So this was my explanation. I looked back at the beach.  I saw Arianna and her mom on the beach blanket. As usual Arianna had her portable easel and acrylic paints with her. I feel like Arianna likes art more than most people but it doesn't matter really matter. It's like what surfing is for me. Then Percy Jackson paddles up next to me looking at the wave in front of us. He looked at me

"Surfs up!" He said and darted in to the waves

"Oh you are SO on" I yelled to the waves and followed him in. But just as I stood up I saw something crazy. It was a giant snake.
