Chapter 2- Percy

Percy didn't have a good track record with schools. Until Goode, he got kicked out at least every year, usually more.
He figured it was the same for the others. So why did the eight demigods stand in front of the school, unsure of what to do?
The Gods had told them to go to school, pretend they were normal, live fake lives, there was nothing the demigods could do on their side, the Gods would try to get them back. He hated it. He didn't want to rely on the Gods to get back home, but he couldn't do anything. Annabeth had taken the lead to enrol them in an academy close to where they were staying. Elda had happily given them the eight rooms she had prepared after a vision told her she would need them.
What Percy wanted to know was why the Hades Annabeth enrolled them in a prep school. He wondered if it was the architecture, it was an old building complete with tall stone pillars. From where they stood it looked like it was three or four story's high. Lucky for them it was the first day of school, so they wouldn't be to far behind, Annabeth had told them. No one said anything until Piper broke the silence, "Are we supposed to just go in?" Annabeth opened her mouth to answer but she was cut off by the whizzing of a skateboard as a dark haired girl weaved between the group.
"Sorry!" She called over her shoulder as she kicked her skateboard into her hand as jogged up the steps disappearing as the door slammed behind her.
"I guess so." Annabeth answered.
The group made their way up the staircase to the huge double doors before pausing again.
"Does everything here have to be so dramatic?" Leo grumbled. Percy rolled his eyes and followed the signs to the office. He could see the daughter of Athena's fascination with the building. The high ceilings were painted with a mural of the sky and the walls and floors were made of granite. Normal blue lockers lined the walls, breaking for wooden doors or stone pillars.

When they entered the office there were only two people there, a kind looking lady sitting behind the desk and the dark haired girl from earlier. The girl didn't face them but the lady gave them a smile and gestured for them to wait. The girl used hand motions and bounced on the balls of her feet but kept her voice quiet as she spoke. She had her hair in a high pony tail but it still waved down to the middle of her back, her hair was black, not the dark brown he had thought it was before. He hadn't had a good look at her when she had rushed by but from what he could tell she was pretty, she wasn't that tall but not short either, probably just a few inches shorter than him. Her white blouse had short sleeves and a dark blue blazer was folded over one of her arms, she had a beige skirt, knee-length white socks and black high top converse. From what he could see of her hands she had black, fingerless driver gloves and a bunch of beaded bracelets.
She finished whatever she was saying to the secretary who replied and motioned for her to stay while beckoning the group over. The girl turned to them and flashed a smile, Percy had been right, she was beautiful.
"You must be the new students." The secretary noted, shuffling papers, "I'm Ms. Peters."
"Yes-," Annabeth started but Ms. Peters cut her off with a wave.
"Please change into your uniforms, your schedules will be with them." She informed them before turning to the girl who looked like she was trying not to laugh, "Miss Jackson, please help them to their classes on your way."
Percy froze, Jackson? He knew they were in a different universe but, could she be related to him? He looked at her again, they had the same messy, black hair, the same sea-green eyes, the same features.
She nodded to the secretary before leaving the office. The group following behind after each grabbing a pile of clothes from the desk. The girls' uniforms matched the one the dark-haired girl wore, aside from the gloves and sneakers but including a black tie. The boys' had beige khakis, white dress shirts, and dark blazers and ties that matched the girl's.
Once they had changed in the bathrooms just across the hall the found the girl waiting for them. She looked them all over, re-tying a few ties so they were correct before nodding.
"I'm Faith, by the way." She told them, her lips quirking into a lazy smirk, "If you're first period is math with Dodds follow me, if not there are maps on the back."

Piper, Frank, Annabeth and Percy ended up having the first two periods with Faith. Nico and Hazel wouldn't share any classes with them since the siblings were still sophomores. Leo and Jason had something else for the first two periods but Percy didn't know if he shared any other classes with them. Percy's third was chemistry, Annabeth had said he'd be fine but he wasn't so sure. Percy had blown a lot up in the past years, he didn't think giving him chemicals would be a good idea. His mind wandered as he walked, Annabeth had been acting different. Maybe he had to. Whenever they talked they argued, whenever they kissed it was quick, like they didn't want it to last. He didn't feel the same way for her that he had before, he still loved her, but more like a sibling. He figured the arguments were because of the stress, if neither of them wanted to be in the relationship then why did they keep pretending?
His wandering brought him to the correct room earlier than he expected and most of the other students. The teacher barely looked up, Percy scanned the room, most tables were empty but he didn't want to take someone else's seat. A redhead sat at the back, chewing gum and sketching something on his papers, and a blonde sat close to the middle of the class with a small pile of books in front of him. The redhead looked up and grinned,
"New kid." He announced before going back to his sketch.
The blonde rolled his eyes and turned to the redhead, "Ya know, if Grace wasn't away she'd have your head on a platter." The redhead shrugged and the blonde turned back to Percy and gestured for him to sit down. "Sorry, Rosie usually keeps Randy there in line,"
Randy scoffed and cut in, "More like Rosie keeps everyone in line."
"You're one of the new kids, right? Faith mentioned it this morning. I'm Alex." The blonde continued.
"Percy Jackson." Percy said, shaking Alex's hand as he sat down.
Alex gave him a surprised look, "Perci Jackson? Really?" Percy nodded prompting Alex to explain, "Faith's first name is Perseus but if you called her that she'd skin you. We used to call her Perce, but now she prefers Faith. You guys aren't related are you?"
"Not that I know of." Percy replied.
The two talked a bit more until everyone else filed in. And Percy succeeded in not blowing anything up.
