Chapter 3

Percy's POV

"Percy…" I heard Thalia growl. I shuddered. How was it my fault that she went to Goode?! I smile weakly, "Hi Thalia. Nice to see you again."

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?!" This was not going well.

"Thanks for the welcome Pinecone Head. I really like this place. I think I'm going to stay." I smirk at her. I'm not scared of her. Then she grinned evilly. Oh no. Here it comes… Urgh. She jumps on me hugging me.

"I missed you little cousin!" She squeals. I groan. "Thalia! Let me goooo!" I squirm around, trying to get away. I look around. Luckily the hallways pretty empty at the moment. I see Annabeth. She doesn't understand what the hell is going on. Oh, you don't either? Let me explain.

It started with a game of truth or dare. My other cousin Nico, dared Thalia to every time she sees me, hug me as if she hasn't seen me in years. She's been doing it for five years now and she's actually beginning to enjoy it because I hate it so much. We are in a very love-hate relationship at the moment, which is improvement over when we began the game of truth or dare, because back then, we actually hated each other. Like, really bad.
At the moment we have lots of fun together but at times, there are the not-so-fun ones. Anyway, we walked into maths class, a little bit late. Well that would explain the empty hallways. Oops. I look at Annabeth who looks pretty mortified at the whole situation. Why? I'm not too sure.

"Annabeth? You're never late." The teacher says. Oh, well that would explain the embarrassed look Annabeth has on her beautiful face. Wait what? I don't like Annabeth! "Thalia? Late again? Tut tut tut." The teacher mutters as he marks Annabeth and Thalia as late.

"Uh, sir?" Annabeth asks.

"Yes, what?" He replies, clearly not paying attention.

"Uh, we have a new student. That's why we were late. I was showing him his locker and where the classrooms were." Annabeth says sighing. She's clearly used to being ignored. The red tinge on her face is fading and she just looks annoyed. I nudge Thalia and nod at Annabeth. Thalia grunts and says, "I wasn't helping show this guy around. I was just late." But she says it in such a bored and childish voice, everyone bursts out laughing. The teacher scowls and turns red.

"Thalia, go sit down!" He orders. "And shut up the rest of you!" the laughter just increases and it becomes clear that absolutely no one has any respect for this teacher what so ever. He looks at me. "Who are you?!" He asks and very rudely I might add. "I think Annabeth just explained that." I said back, just as rudely.

"Annie-who?" He asks. Everyone scowls. Annabeth looks really angry.

"Excuse me. But I am your student. I turn all of my work in on time and I show you plenty of respect. More than you deserve anyway! I want to be respected back thanks very much and I do not appreciate the way us students are being treated." Annabeth says all of this in the matter of five seconds and takes a deep breath to calm down before continuing, "Anyway, this is Percy Jackson and he is a new student here. I was late because I was showing him around and you clearly heard Thalia say that she was not involved in that and was late on her own accord." She looks around at the other students who are sitting there with their mouths open and their jaws on the floor.

The teacher merely nods. "Okay that sounds great Annabelle. Go sit down now, I have to teach."

And that's how I was introduced to my first class of the day.

Still Percy's POV

Well in maths class I learnt three things.

The teachers name was Mr Dionysus but he preferred to be called Mr D

In maths class you learn absolutely nothing

You do not get caught sleeping
By the time I had been taken to my Biology class, my expectations for Goode High had declined by about 1 trillion. I did not expect anything from the school and in a way that was bad but it was also good. It meant that I would probably fail every single class, but let's just say that I could potentially catch up on a lot of sleep.

Luckily, I got to Biology on time since I didn't want to be in another scene like my maths class. I went through the door and took a seat at the back of the class. Annabeth wasn't in this class and neither was Thalia, which I guess I was grateful for. While we started off as 'friendly acquaintances', things quickly went down after maths class. I frown at the memory of her walking down me down the hallway while everyone was looking at us.

"Are you seriously getting mad at me for falling asleep in that idiots class?!" I asked Annabeth incredulously.

"Yes! You are supposed to pay attention! Because of you, I burst out in front of Mr Dionysus and got detention for a week!" At this point I stopped her. "Wait, how did I make you blow up in front of him and the whole class?! I never said anything!"

"Exactly! You should have introduced yourself and said something! And actually, you did speak! And you brought me up when you were snapping at Mr D!"

"I was just defending you!"

"I don't need you to protect me! I barely even know you and you don't know me either!"

"Well… I don't… I…" I stutter. I don't know why I even try with her. I was just trying to be nice and now she's trying to destroy me. Well that might have been a bit off. She just wasn't happy.

I shake my head and look to the front where the teacher was calling out the roll.

"Percy… Jackson?" I hear the teacher ask.

"Here." I mutter.

"Are you here?" The teacher asks again.

"Here!" I say, louder this time.

"Okay. Percy are you new here?" The teacher asks. "Yes." I reply. "Would you like to say something about yourself?" She asks. "Not particularly." The class chuckles as one, except for the teacher who isn't looking too pleased. I hastily start to talk. "I moved here from my old house that isn't too far away from here." I didn't really know what to say. "I like to swim and I like animals and um… that's about it." I saw a lot of girls starting to swoon when I said that I liked animals.

I hear someone laugh. "I hear your dads the new English teacher!" He starts to laugh in a horrible way. Is he trying to get laughs from teasing me? I could snap back, or… I have a better idea. I smile sadly. "Well step-dad actually." I tilt my head down, not speaking. Inside I'm laughing my head off.

"Step-dad? What happened to your normal dad?" I hear a girl ask emotionally.

"Well, he, um, he died when I was young. But I'm okay. I've lived in a one parent household for a while until my step-dad came along. He made it a lot easier for us. My mum and I." I hear half of the class sigh and the other half go "I'm so sorry." And, "Sorry for your loss." And all of those kinds of things.

Well, almost everyone. The guy who had made fun of me looked at me in disgust. I just smirk back and allow myself to relax. I hear a fake cough and look up to see the teacher looking a little bit annoyed.

"Okay. We're all very upset for Mr Jackson's loss, but we have a Biology class to attend to. I have heard Percy, that you have just had a maths class with Mr Dionysus, and I can assure you that no other classes will be like that one. No class is as… un-educational as his. In this class you are expected to pay attention and do your work. I couldn't possibly care less about the other teachers or classes you have, but I do care that you at least get a 'C' in this class, because if you don't, there will be talks with parents and sports coaches and whatever. That goes for all of you other kids too."

So this was what Goode was really like.

Thanks guys! Hope you liked it, I hope you realize that my story isn't going to be all fluffy at the start, it may be later on but for the moment, NO FLUFF! I will make a story that is all that is fluffy one day, but I just want to get a bit further into this one first. Thanks so much to any reviewers, I will update again soon.
