Hey guys! I'm so sorry I haven't updated any of my stories recently, I've been busy with my school work and stuff! ;-;"
I would like to thank two of my friends for school who gave me an idea for the "History Class Scene". You know who you are!
POV: Percy Jackson (First Person); Poseidon (First Person)
Chapter Two: The Best Greek History Class EVER
+=+=+ Percy Jackson +=+=+
Back to school.
It's been way to long. After that genderbend incident, I surprised myself when I thought "I can't wait to get started".
I'll probably regret that thought.
I heard learnt that my friends, Nico and Thalia, might come to Goode too.. Annabeth, my girlfriend, had already told me she enrolled and got in.
I jumped onto the bus about three seconds before it let off. I waved goodbye to my Mum as the bus rolled on.
As far as I knew, this bus was the emptiest to school. That's why my Mum always told me to jump onto this one. Sadly, it's also the earliest.
It takes about twenty to thirty minute to arrive at Goode. I was starring out the window, and we stopped at a bus stop where no-one ever comes on.
But, surprisingly, ten teenagers jumped on the bus, all mumbling to each other.
A handsome boy with rugged black hair and sea-blue eyes was at the front of the line.
"Watch it, Widna." He muttered to the girl next to her which had long blond hair and smooth grey eyes. Huh. They looked familiar, but also not.
"Shut it, Axon. Just make sure I don't sit next to you. It's too much that I have to share a room with you…" Widna mumbled.
She sat down next to the seat, looking out the window. She had a "Goode High School" bag. I noticed the rest of the group did also.
Fantastic. New students.
The bus was really empty in the middle, but it seemed half the group were bickering to see who would come to the back. It was a two-seater bus, with five seats at the end.
The guy with black hair, Axon, arrived first and sat next to me. He looked over to another person that sat next to him. The rest of the group sat down also.
"Well, we made it, Skylar." The guy, Axon, said to the guy next to him with a smirk.
"Why do you guys think Skylar is a girls name?" Skylar complaied.
Axon chuckled and looked over to me, and saw me looking at him. His grin disappeared. His eyes were filled with pure terror. But it was only for half a second. I wasn't sure if that actually happened.
"You're going to Goode?" he asked me, pointing to my schoolbag.
"Yeah. Big group you guys are. Not much people take this bus."
"Yeah, we, uh, arrived here yesterday."
"Ah. Okay."
We sat in silence. The rest of the group talking to each other.
The bus stopped again. Last stop, then we should be at Goode. Another five minutes.
A boy and a girl with black hair came on the bus. They were bickering.
"Come on, you can't be serious."
"Look, if we want to survive, we don't socialize."
"Nico, the only way we're going to survive is if we socialize. They see us as friendly, no threats, blah blah blah, and then we stay low. Okay?"
With a jolt, I realized it was Nico and Thalia. At the same time, Skylar and the boy sitting in front of me gasped. Weird.
"Hey, could you two move over two spots? These guys are friends of mine."
Both teenagers were reluctant, but they moved.
"Nico! Thalia! Get over here!"
Thalia grinned and ran over and hugged me. "Hey, Percy!" One girl from the group gagged.
"Hey, Nico." Nico smiled feebly. "Hey."
Thalia sat down next to Axon, so Nico sat in-between the two friends.
"Hey, I agree with Nico. You guys should probably lay low."
"Told you!"
Thalia sighed. "Okay. Why?"
"Well, Thalia, you don't want to socialize and then become… ah, jealous?"
Thalia's face burned. "And why would that happen?"
Nico raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, why?"
I smiled. "No reason."
We finally arrived at Goode. I was last off the bus, but Nico and Thalia had disappeared.
"Nico? Thals?"
All of a sudden, a girl jumped onto me. I nearly went into battle mode, but then I saw the face.
Annabeth.
She kissed me, and then stood up.
I grinned. "Nice to see you, Wise Girl."
She smiled. "You too, Seaweed Brain."

School stinks.
Every class I have happened to be with Athena, which was the most boringest thing ever. (Athena tells me that's not a word, but I honestly don't care at this point.)
Luckily, none of the demigods were in any of my classes except one English lesson with Annabeth Chase.
It might've been mere coincidence, or Hecate playing with us, but Annabeth and Athena were together on the first project, which was meant to take two weeks.
"You have to write a book report on a fiction novel from this bookshelf, but you're not allowed to choose a book you've already read." Mr Trix exclaimed. He seemed a bit crazy, but less boring than all of my other teachers.
"Because of the number of books, some of you are in pairs. Which I have already chosen."
A soft groan came through the class.
"Annabeth Chase and Winda Owltea."
Winda/Athena raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.
A few more pairs were rattled off. "Everyone else is by themselves. Make sure on the book report you have pictures, set it out on a poster, and also hablahblah blah blab blab blah…" I sorta lost interest at that point, because I had to choose a book.
I picked up The Fault In Our Stars, which seemed like a pretty cheerful book to me. Widna and Annabeth had the exact same weird chortling sound when I picked that up, like they were crying and laughing at the same time.
Annabeth and Widna chose I Am Number Four.
The bell rang and we left the class, as it was time for lunch.
Lunch was unexciting, everyone from the school seemed to be in the caferteria but there was one table free, besides the fact that Sundight/Apollo and Nightshade/Artemis were there, arguing.
"You know what? Just. Shut. Up." Nightshade said firmly. Well, that was a quick end.
As I sat down, more of the Olympians started piling up on the table, except for Celeste/Hera and Eparg/Dionysus.
"Where do you think they are?" Asked Skylar/Zeus.
"Dionysus is probably smuggling drinks and Hera is probably being Hera." I replied.
There was silence for a bit on our table until the next bell rang. As I was making my way to the next class, I accidentally bumped into someone.
He whipped around quickly. Woah. Back-up. The guy was wearing a NASA shirt, but certainly didn't look nerdy. He seemed fit and looked quite tool. He had demigod-like reflexes, and looked about seventeen. He seemed like he was about to retrieve something from his pocket.
"Oh. Sorry." Said the guy. He was about to rush off, when I quickly stopped him.
"Hey, my fault. Sorry, I was distracted."
The guy looked at me funny. As I studied his face, it looked like he had been in a war. Seen death. He couldn't be a demigod, could he? (No guys, this is not an OC. Just a one-time reference. I'll explain at the bottom of the page.)
"It's fine. I'm Sam Goode."
I raised an eyebrow. Like the school name. Hm. "Axon Seashore."
I extended my hand, but he backed away. "I gotta go, and you probably won't see me again. See ya, Axon."
"Bye." I replied, but he had already run off, like he was trying to get away from a monster.
Weird.
The rest of the day ran smoothly, until History, the last class.
The teacher, Mr Graf, wrote "GREEK MYTHOLOGY" on the board.
Zeus, Athena, Hades and I were all in this class. I grinned at them, and they grinned back. For once, an easy class.
"So, today I'm gonna give you guys a quick 5-15 minute speech on Greek Mythology."
"Well," he continued. "It all started when the king god, Kronos, ate all hid children, the other gods."
Zeus's eyebrow furrowed. Even I was confused. Shouldn't a teacher know at least that?
"Kronos ate a rock and vomited all his children out straight after that." That was also wrong.
"The gods inside his tummy killed him, and that's when the new king was made; Hades."
I nearly vomited. Zeus was seething was rage, Athena was downright confused, along with Hades.
"Hades then made more gods from his powers, like Athena and Hercules and Perseus."
What the fudge?
"Perseus was a weird son of Athena – " Athena looked like she wanted to scream " – who was father to a horse, named Pegasus. This female horse attempted to give birth with a male wolf, Lupa, but then was burnt up by the sun and made the land called the Underworld."
"Hades was forced to go into the Underworld because it was messy. Dionysus became the king god, but he flooded the world as Demeter unflooded it."
Okay, now we're just going into different stories.
"Another horse, Arion, stole all the god's memories and forced them to be Roman, all of them except Hades, who was in the Underworld."
Hades flickered to Pluto, then back. I was really angry. So were the other Olympians.
"Hades then stupidly jumped in Tartarus because he dropped his tartar sauce into there…"
Hades stood up so abruptly, anger in his eyes.
"Skelon Tenton, what are you doing?"
He said nothing. Just pointed at the mortal, and screamed.
Nothing happened.
Hades/Skelon then realised he wasn't a god anymore.
He sat down, blushing.
Before the teacher could say anything, the bell rang. Huh. I thought it was only a 15-minute long speech.
We all quickly ran out, back onto the bus to our house. Celeste and Eparg were there this time. No demigods came on.
And that was our first day at school.
You guys liked it? Sorry I haven't updated in a while! D:
Also, from now on, every chapter, I'll try adding a character from a popular book series into the story. I guess I'm practicing my crossovers. ;P
Until next time, everyone! :D
