"Look Percy! Its the museum. We're here!" Amara Holmes nudged her friend's side with her elbow. The said person looked at her and replied, " I can see that."

Grayish-green eyes shining with mirth looked at him. Grabbing his sleeve, she pulled him up to to stand along with Grover, a crippled boy who they had befriended during the school year, as the bus came to a stop. One by one, the students and teachers exited out of the bus. Nancy Bobofit sneered at the three and wrinkled her nose before pushing her way to the front. Her red hair whipping at those behind her.

Amara frowned. "Why is she always so mean?"

The boys shrugged and continued to move forward, eager to get out of the stuffy bus. Once outside, the teachers gathered them into a group and they started the tour. Mr. Brunner rolled his wheelchair to the front of the group and started to lecture them about the items on display. Amara, Percy, and Grover listened attentively while their classmates chattered loudly amongst themselves.

When Mr. Brunner got to the a stele about a girl their age, Amara started to zone out and Bobofit decided it would be amusing to make fun of a carving of a naked guy in it. The girl snapped back to reality when she heard Percy say, "Will you shut up?"

Mr. Brunner stopped and turned his attention to Percy and asked, "Mr. Jackson, Did you have a comment?"

Percy turned red and stuttered out, "N-No, sir."

The teacher turned back to the stele. "Perhaps you'll tell us what this picture represents."

The boy looked at the steele and said, " That's Kronos eating his kids, right?"

"Yes," Mr. Brunner urged him to continue. "And he did this because?"

"Well…"

As he explained his answer, Amara started to look around at the other displays and caught Mrs. Dodds' eye in the process. She quickly turned back to the discussion and shivered. Mrs. Dodds had to be the teacher that she hated the most. She was unfair and cruel to those she caught disobeying her rules.

The class started to disperse and she realized that they were being dismissed to lunch. She saw Mr. Brunner look at the stele sadly, as if he had known the child before she was dead. Turning away, Amara looked for her friends and found them already out the door and sitting on the steps. She sat down beside Grover and unpacked her lunch. As she started to eat, she noticed that Percy looked agitated. " What's wrong Percy?"

He looked at her and replied, " I just wish that Mr. Brunner would lay off me sometimes."

Amara nodded and went back to eating. She saw Grover looking at the fruits that she brought with her longingly and handed some to him. Nodding his thanks, he concentrated on finishing his food.

"I think he pushes you because he knows that you could do great things, Percy. Anyways, I'm going to go to the gift shop and spend some money. You guys want anything?"

They shook their heads no and Amara made her way to the store. As she entered, a chime rang, and she saw a bored looking cashier along with some of students, and tourists exploring the store. Grabbing a basket, she started to stuff it. Her family belonged in the upper middle class so money was no problem and her parents made sure that she always had cash with her. But even though her family was rich, she was in no way spoiled. Her mom and dad made sure to instill to her mind that wealth doesn't make you superior to others and to not take things for granted.

After she was done, Amara went up to the cashier to purchase her items. Most of the things she bought were for Grover and Percy even though they didn't want anything and putting those in a separate bags. The other items were for her parents. Thanking the clerk, she went back outside to her friends and she saw Nancy Bobofit with them. Her face as usual was sneering at them. As she walked back to them, the bully left the two boys and Percy looked at her desperately.

"Amara!" he exclaimed. " Do you remember Mrs. Dodds?"

"Of course…" she looked at him uncertainly. " Percy, are you alright? Why was Nancy talking to you two?"

"See, Grover! She remembers that old bat!"

"Percy! Even though that's true, you should not say anything bad about others. Wait… What does he mean 'remembers', Grover?"

Said person was now looking at his two friends as if they were crazy. " I don't know what you're talking about. There are no Mrs. Dodds in Yancy that taught Algebra, only Mrs. Kerr."

As he said that, the teachers started to gather the students to the bus. Amara handed them bags she bought for them and made her way to the bus with the two boys following her.

"Come on. Let's discuss this on the once we are seated."
