Authors Note: Hey guys, this one shot is set between Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian and is based on a head cannon I read on pinterest. Chiron has told Percy to go and lay low for a while so he doesn't bring attention to himself in the world of the Gods and get killed by Kronos before everything is prepared for the Prophecy. Percy is in school and discovers a secret that no one else knows. Hope you like it!

Percy Goes To School

Percy really wasn't having a very good morning First off he had missed his bus to school meaning he had to walk all the way there. Then on the walk a hell hound decided to chase him. He had taken the hell hound down with Riptide but it had surprised him from behind; giving him a huge scratch on his arm that was now staining his whole uniform in blood.

This is gonna be hard to explain he thought to himself. When he was finished with the hell hound and all that was left was a pile of dust and the smell of sulphur, he looked down at his watch. Oh crap he thought as he started running. He was 10 minutes late for his first lesson (History) and the school was still at least 5 minutes away. When he arrived he ran to his locker and threw his bag in, taking only Riptide with him (In the form of a ball point pen).He raced through the corridors and eventually found the classroom he was looking for. He slammed the door open not even thinking to be quiet.

Catching his breath he looked around the classroom, noticing everyone was staring at him, including his teacher. "Hey" He said with a small smirk to the class. His teacher, Mr August just stared at him for a few seconds before saying "Percy, could I speak to you outside for a second" Percy nodded and walked outside, thankful that no one could see him as he examined his arm.

There was quite a lot of blood and it looked a lot worse than it actually was. Percy also thought about what he would say. Some of the excuses that he thought of were not very good. They ranged from 'A guy stabbed me with a knife' to 'I ran into a tree'. I'm totally screwed, here's another school that'll kick me out he thought to himself. A feeling of guilt crept up on him. Chiron had asked for him to lay low, try and be normal for a while and not get involved in anything Prophesy related until he absolutely needed to. His mom would be disappointed as well.

He heard the door open behind him and Mr August walked out. For some reason he had his bag with him and he was raking through it. When he found what he was looking for he looked at Percy and tossed him a small packet. Inside there was a square of Ambrosia, the food of the Gods. "Didn't think you were the only half-blood around here, did you?" His teacher asked him with a small smile. Percy wanted to reply with something smart but instead all that came out was "Urm..."

He looked at the ambrosia then back at his teacher. "Well go on, eat it, what happened to you any ways?" Mr August said sounding annoyed, "Hell hound" Percy replied taking the Ambrosia out of it's packet. His teacher sighed "I have a class to get back to, we can talk later. Come and see me at lunch" He looked at Percy and when he nodded, turned back to the classroom and closed the door behind him. Percy stood confused for a few seconds then, after eating the ambrosia, walked into the classroom and sat at the back.

The whole morning dragged. Percy looked at his watch every few seconds to see if it was any closer to lunch. A half-blood in his school! How had he not noticed? Well he had only been in the school for about week. Eventually after a long morning of Maths and English, Percy made his way back to the History classroom and waited until all of the other kids had filed out.

He knocked then walked in to see Mr August sitting reading a book at his desk. "Ah, Mr Jackson" He said as he placed a bookmark in his book and placed it on the desk in front of him. He motioned to a chair. "Why not sit down?" He offered. Percy sat and asked his first question. "What cabin were you in?" The teacher replied straight away with "6". Percy knew that was the Athena cabin. He looked at his teacher and noticed he had the blonde hair and grey eyes all of the other children of Athena had (Although his hair was streaked with grey, dulling the colour).

"What about you?" His teacher asked bringing him back to the conversation. "3" Percy replied. His teacher gave a little gasp. "But that's... Impossible! There are no children of the Big 3" He said in a surprised tone of voice. Percy gave a small laugh at this "Obviously, you haven't heard the news from Camp Half-blood for a few years" He said. His teacher just looked at him raising his eyebrows as if asking for an explanation. Percy sighed. "Well, I'm a son of Poseidon. There's also Thalia; Daughter of Zeus and there's Nico; Son of Hades" He said counting down on his fingers. "Ah" his teacher commented.

Percy felt a little awkward explaining all of this, it was old gossip that had dissapeared from conversations at camp. Now everything was about the Prophecy and where they thought Luke/Kronos was going to strike next. Percy decided to ask his teacher one last question. "How long was it since you were at camp?" Mr August thought for a second then answered "Around 20 years". Percy nodded. "Well, no offence or anything, but now would kind of be a really bad time to decide you want to come back. See we're kind of in the middle of a sort of...war" He said.

His teacher looked shocked. "I'm older than all the Demi Gods at the camp. How is it dangerous for me not and for you?" He asked. "Well, we've been planning for a while and everyone knows the drill, kind of, for if anything happened" Percy replied. "Fair enough" Mr August said, knowing arguing wasn't going to get him anywhere.

They sat in silence then his teacher said "I will stay out of it, but can you promise me something?" Percy looked up and nodded. "Make sure you listen to children of Athena, they know what to do in battle. Our mother is Athena Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy you know" Percy grinned a little. Mr August reminded him of Annabeth a bit. He missed her and couldn't wait to see her again, although the next time he would see her they would probably be in danger. "Don't worry, I learnt that a while ago" He answered. "You can go. Get some lunch and remember, you always have a fellow Demi-God here if you need anything" Percy nodded. "Bye then" he said and walked to the doorway.

Just as he pulled the door open he had a thought. It was completley random but he had to ask. "Oh, Mr August" He said. "Hmm?" was all he got in reply. "You ever heard of Daedalus?" He asked. His teacher looked a little confused at this then answered "Of course I have, why?" Percy grinned, he couldn't wait to tell Annabeth what he said next. "My friend, A daughter of Athena, has his laptop" Just before Percy left the room he saw his teachers expression change to shocked and jealous. Percy closed the door and laughed as he took off towards the lunch hall.

Hope they have something blue he thought, walking through the doors into the busy diner.
