Bernadette Fern's Messed up Demigod Life (Percy J. Fanfic)

Chapter 1: We nearly kill my ex-crush…

Chapter 1: We blow up some stuff

"This is sooo boring!"

Tris fidgeted and looked around.

"There's gotta be something more fun to do. What time is it?"

This was the 20th time she had asked me that today. I could hardly complain though. For most of the school year I would demand to know what time it was every five minutes. I got a watch after she and Mark threatened to tell Andy I have a major crush on him.

"It's half twelve. Now be quiet, I want to hear this presentation!"

Mark rolled his eyes.

"Berna, how you find this interesting I will never know."

I rolled my eyes at my nickname. They refused to call me Bernadette all the time. They say it's too long. Tris' mind was on the fact that we still had another half hour before we were allowed go off on our own.

"Urgh! I'm going to die of boredom!"

I glanced at the teachers.

"Quiet, we're gonna get in trouble. Cooney wasn't joking about a week's detention!"

That shut both of them up. Cooney was not a teacher you wanted on your bad side.

We managed to get through the next half hour without us getting in trouble. I wanted to go straight to the laboratory. How many times were we gonna be in America, in a top science Tris and Mark didn't share my enthusiasm.

"No way. I am not wasting any of our free time in a lab." Tris said.

"Come on, it'll be fun! You'll love it!"

She just stared at me like I was crazy. I sighed.

"Please, for me?"

"Fine. One quick look."

I jumped with delight.

"Yay! Mark, what bout you?"

Before he could answer, Andy came over. Sean and Liam were with him. Liam smiled at Tris shyly. He has a major crush on her, but she won't believe me. She hates the three of them. Sean I can understand, but Andy and Liam are fine.

"Hey Bernadette. We're gonna check out the labs. Wanna come?"

HELL YEAH!

"Sure."

I saw Tris glare at me.

"I just remembered, I have to go to the gift shop. See ya later."

I bit my lip as she walked off. Why did she hate them so much? I turned to Mark.

"Are you coming?"

I knew Mark hated Sean and Andy too. He didn't mind Liam. They say he's a jerk and some other things I probably shouldn't repeat. I silently begged him with my eyes to come. I want to be with Andy, but I'm too scared to go on my own. I need Tris or Mark with me most of the time. They helped me relax. When I'm on my own in public, I panic. Mark sighed.

"Yeah, I'll come."

I mouthed thanks to him and he rolled his eyes.

All the way to the labs Andy and I talked. I wasn't really paying attention. I didn't need to; he was so caught up in what he was saying that he didn't notice. Mark looked like he wished he was anywhere else. I felt kinda bad. I was the only reason he was coming. Finally we got there. Terry and the others goofed around while Mark and I looked around.

"Why do you like him Berna?"

I sighed. We had this conversation a lot.

"Because he's good looking, smart and funny."

Mark continued on.

"And he's a jerk, arrogant and an idiot."

As if to prove his point, a crash came from their direction.

"Shit. We better go. "

I nodded. I want to spend time with Andy, but getting in trouble isn't worth it. We were almost at the door when he called out.

"Hey, where're you going?"

Mark knew I wouldn't be able to lie to him, so he took over.

"We have to go meet Tris. See you later,"

Not, i heard him say under his breath.

"Come on Mark, what's the rush?"

I bit my lip. Mark hates people demanding reasons for why we do things; mostly 'cos strange things always happen to us. Monsters come and attack us a lot. I saw his fist clench and his body stiffened a warning sign. I leaned in and whispered,

"Mark, calm down. You can't lose control."

I could see him trying to get a hold of himself. I hoped he would. The last thing we needed was for Michael to flip and pull out his sword. It wouldn't hurt them but would certainly confuse them. Andy started glaring at him.

"Hey, Mark, I'm talking to you."

Now I was starting to get annoyed. I could tell Mark was calming down thought, which was good.

"I'm sorry Andy, but we really have to go. Maybe we can meet up later?" He came closer.

"Why don't you stay with us, ditch the loser."

Okay now I'm really annoyed. No one calls Mark a loser except Tris and I.

"We have to go."

My patience was running out. Andy came up and his arm against the door, kinda freaking me out.

"Stay Berna,"

That was it. When Andy called me Berna, it just pissed me off. I clenched my fists and my arms started shaking. Calm, calm, get a hold of you. I knew Mark would see how angry he was making me and get cross too.

"Andy?"

"Yeah?"

"Go away. Now."

Mark pulled out his sword and swung without thinking. It passed through him and Andy looked at us, scared and confused. I walked back and knocked over a jar of blue stuff, which caused an explosion. Mark and I exchanged looks. We had to leave. Now. As we ran down the corridor, I realised a few things.

1. We just trashed the lab.

2. Tris was gonna kill us.

3. I'm an idiot for ever liking Andy.

4. Don't know over jars with blue stuff in them.

5. School was gonna kill us.
