A/N- From the reviews I got, I decided to continue with the story and make another chapter. You guys have no idea how really awesome I felt when I got my first review and my first follower. It really made my day and I started to check my e-mail every five minutes and I wasn't disappointed once because I kept re-reading them over and over so thank-you. Since I wanted to get another chapter up this week because I'm not sure I can next week because of exams, this chapter may have a few mistakes and I only worked on it shortly. But thanks though!

Specifically, thank-you to: 1- The-Cute-and-Kind-K.P 2- MJ (Guest) 3- MexicanPr0digy …for being my first reviewers. It means a lot! And thanks to Misunderstood-Poet for being my first follower.

Q + A-

MJ (Guest): Why was Thalia being such a jerk? A: Well, I can't really tell you that but there is one clue as to why she was acting like that in that chapter. It's a bit small and just one sentence so it may be hard to catch but it's there. You may also find out why in this chapter as well as if you think back to when you were in Elementary school. Bleh, I sound confusing. Whatever, that's all I can give you because I don't want to spoil anything.

Lil'Ginge (Guest): What book and TV show? A: TV show = Tower Prep (I really don't know why that show got cancelled because it was my favorite and definitely deserved another season, just saying), but I got the IDEA not the entire story plot from it so it won't be very similar. I got the levels, school, and my interpretation of the ending from it. Book = Shadow Falls by C.C Hunter, I won't tell you which parts because there are so many itty bitty parts that sort of grew into one big concept. And it's also such a really great book so you should read it.

Review please and all characters belong to Rick Riordan.

I woke up to the irritating sound of the alarm from my iPhone –also given to me by the school. The thought of actually having to get up and face the new world I learned about last night was nauseating, every bone in my body was screaming at me to just stay in my warm bed but of course, like the idiot I am, I got up and decided to prepare myself the best I could for the day's events. I hopped down from my bunk and took a look around the room to see if I needed to wake Grover up but when I checked his bed, the only trace of him was the ruffled up blankets.

So instead I snatched a bag in which I stuffed my morning essentials and left the room to find the bathroom. On my way there I noticed that people were still leaving their rooms despite how late it was to head to the showers; I didn't blame them because I too enjoyed sleep. I stepped into the guys' bathroom and found that it was separated by two halves, one for showers and one for toilets and urinals. I used the first vacant shower I found and was glad to see that the space inside was big enough for me to change without getting my clothes wet. At least there wasn't a line for showers because I am not a morning person and I wasn't in such a good mood last night.

After having heard the speech from Chiron, everyone had returned to the dorms building in mute. I found Grover waiting for me on his desk chair while he read a book. I hadn't been mad at him but I just hadn't been in the mood for any talking so I just bounced in my bed, clothes and all, and pretended to go to sleep. I appreciated Grover for giving me some space because the last thing I wanted was for him to coax my feelings out as if he were my therapist but at the same time I hoped that his silence didn't mean that he still saw me as an outsider.

Last night, it took me a very long time to fall asleep. I had to have been awake for more than a few hours before my eyes finally closed. I'm not sure if I have accepted the idea of being named a demi-warrior (which I have yet to figure out what that exactly is) and having 'abilities' but I decided to go along with it for just a little longer, for Mom's sake.

After showering, I dried myself off and got dressed. Outside, the bathroom was densely packed with guys showering, brushing their teeth, using the urinals, and just hanging out while talking. I headed over to the sinks to brush my teeth and by the looks of how many people weren't actually using them; this was obviously a popular spot to just chat while blocking entry. I shuffled around everyone until I made it to an empty sink and brushed my teeth. Grover was right next to me washing his hands and he offered a friendly smile. I returned it with a nod as I continued.

I didn't exactly feel uncomfortable with him, I just felt awkward because there was so much that I didn't know about him and everyone else. And yeah, it's normal to not know much about a friend you just met but there are some qualities that are a little bit essential to be informed about your friend like say, being human. And I wasn't even sure if he was human, but admitting he wasn't human would mean that I may possibly be admitting that I wasn't human and that was slightly unbearable.

Ugh, I was giving myself headaches.

Two seconds ago, all I could hear were the rowdy laughs and jokes of the people behind me as I spit my mouthwash and now all of a sudden everything was silent. The only sounds were the water from the showers and me zipping up my bag but everything else was deadly still.

I spun around to find that everyone had made a bubble around Grover and a blond guy with a gruesome scar on the left side of his face. Grover's expression told me that, whatever was going on, it wasn't good. The boy with the scar had gotten in Grover's face as he sneered and said something I couldn't make out followed by laughter of the many onlookers. The guy pushed Grover's chest challengingly and I couldn't help but notice that Grover was a good four inches smaller than the boy and less muscular. The boy with the scar got in Grover's face again and I decided that it was time to stop what hadn't really started.

Pushing witnesses aside, I managed to get into the little bubble formed around Grover and the boy I didn't know. "Hey man, stop." I heard Grover sigh in relief which told me that I made the correct decision to cut in between them. However, there was still the fact that I had to deal with the blond dude.

"Stop? Stop doing what? I haven't done anything." The guy with the scar said with mock innocence, he laid a hand on his chest for dramatic effect while he glanced around as if everyone else hadn't seen the same thing I had.

I didn't want to actually get into something so I just agreed with him "Okay, in that case we have to go."

Apparently that would be getting off too easily. The guy with the scar stepped in front of me and pushed me back like he had done with Grover "Oh, were you talking about that? I didn't mean to hurt dear old Grover, though. You know, it was just a friendly gesture. Right Grover?"

Grover stuttered "Uh –I. Um, I don't know Luke."

Okay, so his name was Luke. I don't like Luke.

Luke sneered and then got in my space. Okay, now I was beyond irritated but I attempted to contain the anger within me but I couldn't step back because I was already pressed against the sink counters which made me even more upset.

I fought the urge to punch the boy right in the face because, let's face it; I'd lose a fight with anyone who had abilities. Plus, I knew people like Luke before I even came to Goode; they were all over my old school. They fought for dominance so they provoked you into a fight to prove to everyone that they managed to give you a broken nose and a black eye, like a 'real' man. I hated people like Luke and the way they made others cower under a raised hand like a puppy, it's so messed up.

Now Luke's face was only within inches of mine and his hot breath over flooded my breathing space "See, no harm done, just a friendly gesture."

"Get out of my face." I ordered with as much calmness I could manage and shoved him back.

He stumbled a bit before regaining his balance. Luke's face turned red and his hands were balled into fists so tight that his knuckles were white. His muscles were flexing as he took rapid breaths and squeezed his eyes shut. He looked constipated.

"Umm, Percy? We should go." Grover suggested as he tugged on my wrist.

Luke's eyes flew open at the sound of my name and he seemed to have gotten a hold of himself but the anger was definitely still there. However, I wasn't worried about how mad he was, no, I was worried about why on Earth he was smiling.

He was still smiling but it wasn't out of happiness, it was a malicious grin. "Perseous Jackson? Hmm, I think I remember you from last night's dinner." He checked behind him real quick and yelled "Hey guys, we've got a newbie." A group of about three guys stood behind Luke and some wiggled their fingers at me as if I was supposed to be intimidated by wiggly fingers. They should've just cracked their knuckles like in the cliché movies; it would've made them look less retarded.

I think they saw how utterly unimpressed I was because he continued to speak, maybe to scare me, instead of pummeling me down "You obviously don't know who I am or what I can do." After I didn't reply, he continued "Would you like a demonstration because I'm pretty sure that you need to see it first-hand. Usually people who experience what I can do tend to leave me alone. I assume you'd so the same correct?"

I was still determined to not say anything, mostly because I was outnumbered, two to four. I remembered how scared Grover looked when he was in the same position a bit earlier so I checked to make sure he was okay only to find that he had vanished and I was all alone. Wow. Make that five to one. I didn't see that one coming. I didn't even notice when he left. Nice.

"You see Percy, I, like everyone else, oh except for you, am very talented. But the only difference is that I am much more gifted than our pathetic little peers." Luke stepped forward and I've got to admit, I was a bit nervous about what he'd actually do to me. Chiron had said that some abilities were dangerous and I didn't want to know how dangerous they could get.

SLAM!

Luke was momentarily distracted by the sound of a pickup truck crashing into the wall. A big burly man was standing in the doorway of the bathroom with the door halfway off its hinges and right next to him was none other than Grover. For a second I wondered what they were doing but then I decided not to question my luck. The man had to be at least eight feet tall, or more. He took his blow horn and yelled into it "Why is everyone standing around? Breakfast starts in five minutes! Hustle! Move it you lazy bums! Everyone out!"

I was grateful when Luke flashed me a very pissed off glare as he unhappily followed everyone out of the steamy bathroom. I did the same but stopped next to Grover as he walked with me. "So what was that all about?" I asked.

Grover shrugged "Nothing. But since you really don't know, I should fill you in. Luke isn't someone you want to have as an enemy and sadly, he hates my guts. Thanks for stepping in, though, but I had to leave because, no offense, but you couldn't take the guy down even if he were blindfolded. He's really powerful Percy, I had to get help."

We left our dorm after grabbing our book bags and were taking the already full elevator downstairs "It's okay Grover but what makes Luke so great?" I asked.

"Well, he has this ability where he can manipulate your hands and arms and basically every part of your body. Your brain knows what's going on and you try to struggle but you just feel frozen and you can't move no matter how much you want to. Like, this one time he actually made this kid beat himself up. The only bright side about his ability is that he has to be touching you to manipulate you so if you can run fast then you're safe." The way Grover was putting it; I had a feeling that Luke had done it to him once. I couldn't believe that someone could be so powerful that they basically turned you against yourself. Like, it was an achievement to be able to climb the rope at gym but this was just so surreal.

The last thing I wanted to do was make Grover feel uncomfortable but my curiousness got the better of me, and I guess my curiosity is better than my criticism about them being a freaky type demi-warrior thing. So I continued with my questions instead "So he manipulated you?"

To my surprise, Grover actually admitted it "Yep, worst minute of my life. I was talking to Annabeth about or history project last year and Luke comes from behind me and takes my hand. I knew his ability so I tried to take my hand away but I felt that I couldn't. At first I didn't feel numb anywhere except for in my hand but then I felt the numbness spreading throughout my entire body. It's sort of like when your foot's asleep but you don't feel tingly, just numbness. I kept trying to rip my hand away but I couldn't even make it twitch so I tried to use my other hand but I could only manage to wiggle my fingers. In a matter of seconds I couldn't even move my lips. It was so embarrassing because he made me bang my head against the locker a million times before Annabeth convinced him to stop and then I got a major headache and had to see the nurse while he was stuck on kitchen duty." It sounded terrible and I immediately made a mental note to stay away from Luke and made another one to make him pay for hurting Grover. By the time Grover was done retelling his story, we were already outside.

"So why didn't you use your ability to stop him since your brain still worked?" I asked.

"Well my ability wasn't working at the time." Grover muttered.

He just left me completely confused and I think he understood because once he saw my expression he explained further.

Grover just shook his head "I have a lame ability. All I can do is make plants grow and stuff like that but there weren't any plants when Luke was manipulating me which is why I now carry seeds with me everywhere I go." Grover finished proudly, and although I thought it was strange to carry seeds, I knew why he'd do it and I've got to admit, I'd probably be do the same thing if I were him.

"But can't you make a tree fall on somebody or a weed tangle up in someone's feet?" I don't know why he was so upset with his ability, the only downside was that it couldn't work without any plants but even then he still had seeds.

"Ha! Make a tree fall? Are you kidding me? Do I look like superman? Percy, if it were that easy then we'd all be living the dream but it's never that easy. Your ability isn't something you can just use whenever you like, there's some serious mental strain when you use it. Sort of like lifting weights. Imagine making a tree fall is like lifting four hundred pounds. Impossible, right? I mean not impossible because I just need to practice more but if I try to do too much at once, I could like collapse. But yeah I can tangle people's feet up, I do it all the time. Especially with Luke when we go to gym outside. I run away and have the grass eat him up and trip him until he's too tired to run." Grover replied smugly.

"It's not so bad; I mean it could be worse." I said to try to cheer him up and then mentally added that he was lucky he even had an ability. Even though I felt a bit left out because I didn't have an ability. But I don't know what would be worse; to be an outsider or to have an ability to brag about, probably the ladder because I never really fit in anyways.

"BUT, you're not allowed to use your abilities on other people attending school, including teachers, or you get major consequences for like a month. Trust me, it's not very fun." Nico, who showed up out of the blue added.

We were already inside the café and once again, the back of the room was stocked with all types of breakfast items, my stomach grumbled just by looking at the food. We made our way to the buffet and I piled my plate up high, again. I got a glazed donut, eggs, sausage, and orange juice.

Grover led us to a table where one other Hispanic looking guy was seated. I sat next to Nico this time while the unknown boy introduced himself. "Hey, I'm Leo. You're Perceous Jackson, right? I remember you from last night."

I nodded as I returned the fist-bump he offered "Yep, Percy. We were just talking about their abilities." I gestured towards the guys and I'm sure Nico knew he was next.

"So you know about Nico, and Grover?" Leo tested.

"Actually, I know about Grover but its Nico's turn." I replied.

Nico took a massive bite out of his bagel and swallowed so fast I thought he'd choke but he managed to answer "Well, I can somewhat travel with the shadows."

I looked at him like he was crazy "What?"

"You see all the shadows around the side of a building? I can literally walk right through it in seconds or the shadows under a tree? I can blend right in." Nico said proudly.

"In case you didn't notice, Nico's ability is the coolest." Grover said as he turned his raisin into a grape which I tried not to stare at like I was going to jump out of my seat any second, but had to admit was very impressive.

Nico waved his hand in the air and teased "Well, I don't mean to boast or anything. How about you Leo, yours is pretty cool too?"

Leo looked taken by surprise as he stuffed his mouth with an orange peel and smiled like everyone used to do in elementary school, his grin just looked like a strip of orange that had replaced his teeth. I couldn't help but crack a smile. He spit it out and then answered "Course I don't want to brag, but..."

Leo held his hands up "Okay, okay, so basically I can shoot five inches of fire with my fingertips and one inch with my palms."

With my mouth open and my eyes that resembled a deer caught in the headlights, I probably didn't even need to explain how I was feeling, but hopefully they confused my alarmed expression for one that looked amazed. "That's so crazy. But Nico, your ability doesn't work at night, does it?"

"It can if there's a shadow under a streetlamp or under a stoplight or something, I guess I wouldn't be able to travel very far but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work." Nico explained.

Nodding I garbled down all of my delicious food and then Chiron began to go over how the school worked. We would still be getting normal subjects but we would also be attending some slightly different classes. It was also mandatory for everyone to be in one club and one combat class. There were eight periods instead of six and school ended at three thirty, everyone had lunch at the same time which didn't seem to be a problem because the café was so massive.

We were supposed to get our schedules from the teachers stationed at the tables on the left side of the room in an 'orderly manner', in which everyone just ran up to be first. I was grateful for having been seated so close to them because I was one of the first people to get up and stand in the 'J' line since it was organized alphabetically by last name.

Once I got my schedule, I noticed that everything seemed pretty normal except for of course my combat class that took up two hours which were considered second and third period. But, thank God, lunch was fourth period. So my schedule basically looked like this:

Homeroom: Mrs. Telfair – Room# 1107

Combat: Coach Wayland – Room# 1220

Combat: Coach Chiron – Room# 1220

Lunch

Science: Mrs. Maxwell – Room# 1143

Math: Mrs. Haynes – Room# 1210

English: Mrs. Calderon – Room# 1208

History: Ms. Williams – Room# 1106

Not including lunch, Grover had five classes with me, Nico had five classes with me, Tyson had four classes with me, and Leo had three classes with me. But we all had combat and homeroom for first, as well as second and third period together. I was pretty happy that they all had the first three classes with me so I wouldn't have to wander around the school like an idiot while searching for my classes.

After we finished eating, we decided to dump our trays and get to class early in order to beat the morning rush. In the very back corner of the café were two double doors, which was the mainly used entrance by students (according to Nico) to get inside the school. I figured that I didn't have to pay close attention to where we were going since the guys knew their way around so I just looked at our surroundings and the occasional poster pinned up about 'Hugs Not Drugs' or 'Crack is Whack' and other influential stuff like that.

"Behold the room of Mrs. Telfair!" Leo announced dramatically as he opened the door of one of the classrooms wide to expose what was inside.

Honestly, I didn't know why he was making a big deal out of it because it was just a regular looking classroom. The only thing good about it was the large size and the mouthwatering smell of cupcakes even though I just had breakfast.

I inhaled deeply and opened my eyes wide to see where the cupcakes were but I only found a middle-aged African American lady sitting at her desk in the very front of her room. She had long brown hair and a kind expression, but no cupcakes anywhere near her, I doubted her perfume was that strong.

Not many people were in the room, just a group of girls in the middle of the class and scattered students sitting in pairs or solitarily. Oh, and would you look at that? The group consisted of Annabeth, Thalia, Piper, and Hazel talking rather loud about various topics. They were sitting in a square so that they'd all be able to communicate with each other without having to strain themselves.

"Follow my lead." Nico ordered. He walked into the middle of the aisle and right behind the girls. He was obviously aiming to piss off Thalia because he sat right behind her on top of the desk so that his back almost made contact with her hair. I sat behind Annabeth and Leo sat behind Nico while Grover sat behind me.

According to Thalia's facial expression, she was not too pleased with Nico. I was sitting in my seat when Annabeth and the other girls turned around too and were captivated with Nico and Thalia.

"Nico, if you don't get away from me then I'm going to make you wish that you never entered the class." Thalia threatened menacingly.

Apparently Nico had a death wish because he just laughed "Whatever, Goth Chick but first you have to catch me." Nico did the mistake of playing with the end of Thalia's hair and she shot out of her seat but before I could even blink, Nico disappeared as Thalia groaned in frustration.

I stood up and looked around for Nico "What?"

"Back here Percy!" Nico yelled as he was in a very relaxed position in the back of the room.

How did he get back there so fast? Nico saw my confused expression and quickly explained "I travel with the shadows dude!" I have to admit, that was pretty cool.

Thalia scowled as she sat down "Yeah but one of these days, you aren't going to be so lucky and there won't be any shadows to help you. Then you'll have to be dealing with me."

Nico seemed unfazed and sarcastically said "Ohh, I'm so scared, Grover please protect me!" Smirking, he returned to his seat but kept his foot out in the shadowed area of the floor, just in case.

I noticed that a few more people began to file in but the class was still quite empty. I wondered how long it really took for everyone to find the class but then again, the hallways must be insanely crowded.

Mrs. Telfair walked up to the front of the class and wrote in big letters with dry erase markers her name and the word 'Homeroom'. Once she turned around all talking seized and I know why. Her kind face didn't do anything to hide the challenge in her eyes, daring someone to talk over her.

"I see some familiar faces from recent year but I'm going to go ahead and introduce myself for those of you who don't know me. Hello, I am Mrs. Telfair and this year I'll just be here to supervise you as you work on some of the work from other classes or if you just feel like talking that's fine as long as I don't hear you screaming across the room." Mrs. Telfair nodded once and excused herself to sit behind her desk.

As soon as she was comfortable she snapped her eyes back up and they zeroed in on me. I quickly looked away to be polite but couldn't help but peek out of my peripheral vision. She was still looking at me.

Even though I knew she was staring at me, it still surprised me when she called "Perseus Jackson."

I tried not to get nervous but I couldn't help but worry about what she could possibly need to talk to me about on the first day of school. Really, it's not like I packed some illegal underwear.

So instead of freaking out, I calmly walked to the front of the room and stood in front of her desk which smelled strongly of cupcakes. I inhaled deeply and avoided smiling as I exhaled but the aroma was just so good. Mrs. Telfair stood up and walked to the door "Report to the Vice Principals office please, he'd like to speak with you." That was all she said as she handed me a map and then gestured towards the door.

After searching the school for quite a bit and studying my trustworthy map, I arrived at the Vice Principal's office… 20 minutes later.

Chiron was there behind a mahogany (Go Effie Trinket! Sorry, I just had to do that :D ) desk. He looked up once he heard the door open and I was suddenly reminded of what I could possibly be in trouble for. And as if he read my mind he shook his head and said "It's okay, you're not in trouble. I just wanted to have a chat with you, is that alright?" He kindly asked crossing his arms. I don't know why but I felt like this talk wasn't going to end well.

Either way, I just shrugged "Um, okay?"

"Alright Perseus,-"

"Percy." I corrected.

Grinning, he nodded "Alright, Percy, I wanted to explain a few things concerning last night's speech. I noticed you and many others were very confused and scared but I didn't want you to feel like that. I remember my first year here and I didn't like how they left me hanging with so many questions and I'm pretty sure you didn't go asking for help so I decided to have a talk with you and the two other boys who were, uh, late bloomers. So I'd be happy to answer any questions you may feel troubled with."

I really didn't know what to say besides none of this should be real. This is just all so crazy! I guess that with my mute response Chiron took that as a sign to begin because I certainly didn't plan on being first.

"You don't believe any of this, do you?" He tested.

The funny part was that he was right on point. How could he expect me to believe any of this, though? Okay, well I certainly did believe it but how could I accept it? Like, Grover at the breakfast table; teenage boys should not be transforming their raisins to grapes. It's just not normal! I guess I wasn't very normal either but I certainly wasn't an alien or anything this bizarre. Or maybe I was or whatever. Still, the guys seemed pretty cool aside from the fact that they had each inherited some crazy abilities.

Instead of telling Chiron what I really felt I just went with what I really genuinely felt "I don't know what to think."

To my utter shock, Chiron just beamed with a sort of knowing look "Ah, you remind me much of myself when I was once your age a while back."

I didn't know what to say to that either so I just nodded.

"Percy, you see some things are taught to us for your own good but we still make sure that you were informed of the things that live among us. Like fairy tales and myths and legends all come from somewhere, they don't just randomly sprout from the human mind like you may think. Someone leaked the information and began to tell stories about it and as time grew, once people didn't see any proof they took all those stories and just thought them to be nothing else but entertainment for the imagination. Being a demi-warrior was just another secret that needed to be kept hidden from you until now. Your Mom has done an excellent job in raising you but we need to make sure you understand your potential in having these abilities. We need to help you prepare for the things that are sure to come. I can't tell you everything because you need time but I can tell you that you will do great things Percy. Trust me and yourself." Surprisingly, Chiron was very convincing. I don't know but I felt like I did belong but I just didn't want to because it wasn't right. Society's version of right but I felt right, even if all this craziness wasn't supposed to exist. This was a lot to handle but I no longer felt the urge to not believe what was going on. I felt like I wanted more answers and I wanted to know why I didn't know anything before.

We probably sat there for ten minutes before I came to a conclusion that perhaps these people aren't entirely insane.

I felt a bond towards Chiron as he was the one who helped get unstuck from the ditch society had dug for me. Yes I was still weirded out by it all but there wasn't anything I could do about it so I just had to deal with it.

I had so many questions I didn't even know where to start, but I managed to grasp one of the dozens floating around in my head. "Okay, so my friend had said that you're going to need to practice your ability but my other friend told me that you weren't allowed to use your abilities on other people but I heard that some abilities are physical. How would that exactly work?"

At first I thought I saw a small smile and a glint in Chiron's eyes because I had chosen to accept everything but then he quickly changed his train of thought to my current question "Both true. But in your combat class you're going to be getting a lot of hands-on-supervised practice so everyone will at least get one hour of practicing their abilities every day. And even though we don't allow it, and there are consequences if it happens, kids are always using their abilities when we're not around like in their dorms or in those party's at the warehouse you think we don't know about." He gave me a knowing look after continuing "Besides we only have a few level fives in each grade and all teachers are level fives so we always get to the trouble before anything major really happens. So don't worry, you'll be getting enough practice but still be in a safe environment."

"What're you talking about level five? What is that?" I replied.

"As I'm sure you have noticed some abilities are more advanced than others. Little things will differ and you'll be evaluated on how well you deal with dear situations, your ability, combat skills and strategy. It's basic stuff. Anyways based on that, you will be given a level. Levels reach from 1-5, five being mastery. Basically it's how advanced you are with your ability and other factors. But there are only a handful of students who are level fives so it's okay if you're level three because that's the average for juniors."

"Is there any way of knowing when I'll even get my ability, like a sign or anything?" I asked.

Chiron shrugged "Not really, what we have noticed is that usually our outburst of emotion trigger it and it'll be a bit hard to contain after that until you manage to calm down. However, it won't be painful or anything."

I nodded and asked something I had thought about last night "What if I accidently hurt someone when I find out my ability?"

Furrowing his eyebrows Chiron hesitated to answer and then began "Well that would be bad. But like I said, the staff have abilities too and most of them are level five so I'm pretty sure we would be able to handle any situation quickly."

Okay, this guy answered one question and a dozen more popped up. "Okay so if we come to this school, we have to become a part of the staff?" I questioned because what were the odds that the entire staff happened to be demi-warriors?

"Only if you choose to." Was all he said followed by utter silence. His face was stern and looked very uncomfortable and I guessed that he was getting a little tired of me and it was time for me to leave.

To support my theory, Chiron stood up and escorted me to the door "Percy, you need to get back to class before the bell rings. Nice talk. Come back if you ever feel like you need someone to talk to because I'll always be here and I wouldn't mind some company." Although I thought it was rude of him to just basically be telling me to scram, I guess it was time to go.

I felt better than I had before because I think I was more in understanding with the chaos I walked into yesterday but I guess that changed too because it's no longer much of chaos to me.

And yea, I guess I've got to accept that I'm not normal; I'm different.

And there's nothing wrong with that.
