Annabeth's POV

I trotted down the stairs and started to make the twins' lunches, simple grape jelly sandwiches, that was their favourite. I glanced at the clock, 8:02. That meant we had to be out the door in no longer than 13 minutes. I quickly packed all three if us some snacks, packed their back packs and called them down to get their shoes on.

After watching the twins fumble down the stairs and manage to get their shoes on, (which was difficult for them because they still had trouble tying up their laces), we headed outside. We waited at the end of our lane way until the big yellow scrap of metal that was our bus rolled to a stop in front of us.

Here goes nothing, I thought as I followed Matt and Bobby up the steps.

My brothers sat near the front of the bus as they were only 8 years old and in the third grade. My bus had a seating arrangement, so lucky me- note the sarcasm- I got to sit in the back with the kids my own age. I kept my head down and stared at my feet as I made my way to the back of the bus.

Suddenly, I heard an all to familiar voice shout something to me and on the inside I groaned. "Hey Annabeth! Or should I say 'Anna-geek'? Why don't you hurry up and come back here, we don't bite!"

In my head I immediately thought, Really? Anna-geek was the best you could come up with?

I raised my head to see if who I thought was speaking was really here. Sure enough, the ring leader of the bullies was sitting in the back of the bus, smirking at me while all the other kids laughed. He was hardly ever on the bus, but when he was I knew the day was going to be a bad one. I made a silent prayer in my head saying, Please, God, can today not be so bad? I'm begging you.

I sat down in my usual seat. The second one at the back to the right. I decided to just stare through the window so I wouldn't have to look at anyone in the eye. I was afraid they would look me in the eye and see my fear.

Ignoring the bullies was hard, even though that's what most people to do in my situation. I guess they've never been in this position before. As I watched the trees fly past the window , I felt something hit my arm. I looked down and noticed it was a crumpled up piece of paper. Hands shaking, I picked up the paper and unfolded it. Written in black sharpie was the word 'nerd'. I just set the page down on my seat and left it there. Boy, I hated Percy Jackson.

Percy's POV

I woke up this morning to the smell of my mom's delicious blue pancakes. I didn't set an alarm because who knew, maybe I could 'accidentally' sleep in and miss some school. I dragged myself down the stairs and sat at the table, ready to dig into breakfast when I noticed a note beside my plate.

Hesitantly, I picked it up, hoping that its existence didn't mean I would have to take the bus. Unfortunately for me, it did. I ate my pancakes then went back upstairs to shower and get ready for another boring day at school. I got dressed in a red T-shirt, simple blue jeans and a pair of black converse. I checked the time on my phone and managed to get down the elevator and outside my apartment building in time to ride the bus to school. I took my usual seat at the very back on he left.

When we got to this one stop, a girl named Annabeth Chase got on the bus and kept her head down, and I don't blame her. She's been my number one victim ever since I started going to this stupid school. I didn't even have anything against her. I was somewhat bullied at my old school, so I wanted to change that here. I heard some random comment about her being lame, so I went with it. Actually, I thought she was really cute.

I didn't feel like saying anything today because I was so tired. But when Annabeth boarded the bus, the other 8th graders looked at me expectantly, so I said the first thing that came to mind, "Hey Annabeth! Or should I say Anna-geek? Why don't you hurry up and come back here, we don't bite!" I knew it was lame, but it was the only thing my brain-death self could think of. And the other kids seemed to buy it, so when she looked up I gave her my signature smirk.

She quickly sat down in the seat diagonal from me, as usual, and looked out the window. Then one of my friends, Luke, handed me a sheet if paper that had the word 'nerd' written on it in black sharpie. I chuckled, crumpled it up, and threw it at Annabeth's arm. She slowly looked at it then set it on the seat beside her before continuing to look out the window. Just like she always did. Wow, she must hate me.
