( Percy spent some time teaching Paul ancient greek, and so Paul was promoted to the Ancient Greek teacher. )
Mikaela sighed, gazing across the classroom. She was sat at the popular table, since her friend Joshua was a hit with the ladies and they scored a seat. Yeah, totally earned it. But she was staring at the best swimmer in school, Percy.
He was her friend and they were inseparable. No one else could really befriend him for several reasons. The girls would flirt, and the boys would just do it to get him on their sports team or whatever. And so, Mikaela was proud to say that they had been friends for a year. Not much, but way more than anyone in the school.
Then she entered. Her hair was like a shower of golden sunlight, with endless curls. They bounced on her shoulders as she strode confidently into the room. Her fierce grey eyes shone in the light, holding sorrow and loss. But there was still a spark of mirth. It was obvious that you shouldn't mess with her.
Stares were shot right at her as she walked in. Paul Blofis, the ancient greek teacher, came up to her and hugged her.
"Annabeth! It's good to see you." She smiled.
"Great, thanks Paul." Mikaela smirked. No one could call a teacher by their first name without getting detention.
Yet to her surprise, Paul simply grinned before ushering her over to Percy's table. They exchanged a few words before looking at the board.
Mikaela's class were learning about something stupid. Probably something Mikaela already knew about, unlike the dumb blonde Annabitch. So she ignored Mr. Blofis.
"Mikaela? How about you pay attention - this is on your exam paper! Barely anyone gets this right!"
Mr Blofis snapped. Mikaela swiftly turned her gaze back to the board, which was covered in weird symbols.
"Now, does anybody know what this means?" On the board it said Αθήνα. Much to Mikaela's surprise, Annabitch's hand shot straight up.
"Annabeth?" Paul chuckled. Annabeth grinned
"It means Athena." Mikaela widened her eyes. how did dumb blonde Annabitch know ancient greek? Mr Blofis rubbed out the word and wrote another - οσειδώνας. Percy grinned suddenly, his hand rising.
"Percy?" Paul chuckled once again
"It means Poseidon!"
Percy's eyes shimmered with delight. Similar to a child gazing at a bag of sweets. Paul smiled, and the bell rung. The annoying tune echoed through the classroom, syncronizing with the groans of the nerds and sighs of relief.
Mikaela stood with the rest of the class and exited. Well, exited meaning pushing snd shoving through the sea of eager students into an even bigger ocean of sweaty teens. Pleasant.
She walked over to the cafeteria, which was jam-packed with hungry kids. It's like being stuck in a cage with loads of hungry lions. You never know what's going to happen. Mikaela approached the table where Percy and Annabitch sat. Mikaela smiled, but it was fake.
"Can I sit here?" She asked sweetly, her voice laced with well hidden venom. Annabeth narrowed her eyes, but Percy replied.
"Sure. Annabeth, this is Mikaela. Mikaela, this is Annabeth, my girlfriend. Uh, I need to grab something from my locker, be right back."
Mikaela felt like exploding. Percy had a girlfriend? Surely not. It was April 1st, so it must be a prank!
"Girlfriend? Ha! I bet you met him last week! We've been friends for a year and WE should be dating!" She smirked. Annabeth stood, flames in her eyes dancing with fury.
"Well excuuuuuse me but I've known him for 6 years! We've been best friends for years!"
Mikaela gulped, knowing she had been defeated. She sat down quickly , seeing Percy come back. She gasped
"Percy! Annabeth attacked me!"
Percy turned to look at Annabitch. She smirked, obviously undenying.
"Come on Percy, don't date Annabitch. Stay with me!"
"Mikaela, GET OUT NOW!" He yelled at Mikaela. Tears welled in her eyes as she ran out of the room, wanting to never look back.
