Hi there, beautiful readers! Why are you still reading this? Stop that. Stop that right now! I have to make you? Well, unless you live in Western Australia, I can't afford a flight. Oh well. Keep reading at your own risk of death from cringiness. I apologize this chapter isn't very long but I intend to make the next one super long. So... Enjoy the fourth chapter of Of Course I Came Back!

Annabeth's POV

"Oh my gods, shut up!" I shout at Thalia.

She was making fun of me because Percy was my 'hero'. I realized what I had said and clamped my hand over my mouth. I turn to Percy and see him with an eyebrow raised and his what-seems-like signature smirk on his face.

"Gods?" He asks.

My face flushes and I nod.

"So, you guys are demigods too?"

"Yeah." Thalia says.

"What godly parent?" I ask.

"You'll see." He says.

He smirks and turns back to the teacher. We wait until it ends and notice as Percy passes Mr. Blofis, he says, "Don't tell them."

Mr Blofis is Percy's stepdad so he must know about his godly parent. I know it's useless but as I pass I ask Mr Blofis.

"Who is Percy's godly parent?" I ask.

Mr Blofis looked anxiously out the door.

"Um… I am not sure he would be comfortable with me telling you…" He says, twiddling his thumbs.

"Okay, never mind but thank you."

We walk out to our next class which happens to be… Gym! The only class in which they aren't teaching me something I already know.

We enter the change rooms and do the usual stuff and exit into the gym. Standing there is most of the boys and the usual gym teacher, Coach Hedge is there. Then, Percy exits the change room in sport gear. Then, sadly, I notice Luke is in this class.

"Okay class, today, we are going to be doing hand to hand combat because that was added to the curriculum."

There were murmurs of agreement.

"Now, shall we find some people to demonstrate? Percy, I know you can fight. And how about… Luke?"

The two got onto a mat in the middle of the room and stared at each other as though having a silent conversation.

"Fight." Coach Hedge says.

Luke starts throwing punches and Percy dodges them like they're nothing. Percy then fake yawns.

"Okay, let's get to a real fight." He says.

Then, Luke throws a punch at Percy's jaw. By some miracle or some amazing amount of skill, Percy backflips, you heard me right, backflips, out of the way. He catches his legs on the climbing frame behind him and hangs from the bar, shirt riding up. I notice how much muscle he has there. Luke throws another punch at his head, but Percy pulls himself up and I can see the muscles working on his stomach. He flips off the climbing frame and actually starts to fight. All he has to do is roundhouse kick Luke in the head and he goes down. Percy walks back to the majority of the class and sits back down.

"One of you cupcakes can get the nurse!"

One of Luke's jock friends left the room, presumably to get the nurse. When he had left, Coach Hedge said Percy would teach half of the class and Coach Hedge would teach the other half. He showed us basic punches which were, if I remember correctly, the left and right hooks, an uppercut and a gut punch.

Basically, we went through the week with nothing happening except me inviting Thalia and Katie over to stay on Friday night to sleep. Oh, and not to mention, Thalia and Katie's "He's your hero!" and "Just ask him out already, we know you want to!"

I want to kill them. I swear to gods.

On a different note, I am still confused about who Percy's godly parent is. It has to be a male because Mr Blofis is his stepdad and he still has his mom, Sally. The male gods, Hermes, Dionysus, Apollo, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Ares and Hephaestus. Let us wonder.
