Chapter 4: School

Yancy Academy - Perseus two months later

Percy's POV

Another boring day at school, if it wasn't for my friend Grover I would probably die. My name is Percy Jackson and I was sent to this school to be sent to camp. You might ask why did you go to school just to be sent to a camp? I've asked that question about twenty times a day for two months. You see I'm the so called Champion of Olympus, but now I just feel like the champion of losers. I'm a demigod, yes like in the myths. My father is Poseidon god of the seas, not that it makes much of a difference he's never around anyway. Yes, I know I'm a whiner, you'd whine too if you had great skills and power, but you couldn't show or tell anyone. I have to lead this double life; one of an ADHD and dyslexic teenager and the other as an all powerful demigod. I'm sure you think I'm crazy, unfortunately for me I do feel just a little crazy at the moment. I walked into my math class and quickly made my way to the back of the classroom, avoiding jocks trying to trip me and morons shooting paper wads at me. I sat down next to my friend Grover. He sat to my right with an equally bored expression on his face. I leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"This Pythagoras guy's stuff when am I ever going to need to know something developed by a dead Greek guy?" I asked, smiling to myself as I saw the expression on my friends face. You see I knew from the first day that I met Grover that he was a satyr and he would try to protect me. That didn't mean that I couldn't mess with him from time to time. Grover choked a little causing others around the room to look toward us. The teacher Mrs. Dodds glared daggers at the two of us.

"Mr. Jackson and Mr. Underwood, do you want to answer the question?" Mrs. Dodds asked. I looked at her and then toward the board. The Pythagorean theorem question on the board staring back at me. I knew the answer it helped that my teacher on Olympus was Athena, but I knew that I was supposed to play dumb.

"No ma'am I don't know the answer." I said sadly.

"Then next time try to pay attention instead of interrupting the class." Mrs. Dodds said.

"Yes, ma'am." I said as others in the class laughed at me. I really do hate playing the stupid teenage boy. The bell rang a few minutes later Grover and I walked out of class. As we passed Mrs. Dodds she gave me a knowing smile and I gave her a slight nod. Once out of the classroom Grover turned to me with a worried expression on his face.

"What's up G-man you look worried?" I asked. I know G-man what a lame nickname.

"Ah, Perce don't you think that Mrs. Dodds is out to get us?" Grover asked or almost bleated. He's definitely not the best undercover satyr. Perce, thats Grover's name for me. In fact, I used the name Percy Jackson at school Athena thought it more appropriate than Perseus.

"Nah, she's just doing her job." I said.

"She doesn't have to be so mean while she does it." Grover said. I laughed to myself, if he only knew the truth. We walked to the cafeteria as we were about to board a bus to the museum. Mrs. Dodds and Mr. Brunner, aka Chiron were taking us to a museum. By the way Chiron is this ancient instructor of heroes at Camp Half-Blood. I guess I should be honored that he came personally to see me, but I was more annoyed about keeping my real identity secret. Grover and I sat down in the cafeteria until all the students were assembled. Chiron, I mean Mr. Brunner rolled into the cafeteria in his wheel chair. You see Chiron is a centaur, half man half horse, but this wheel chair is his cover in the mortal world. He had shoulder length dark brown hair and a beard. He always wore these tweed sport coats and slacks. He always smelled like coffee. He rolled the rest of the way into the cafeteria followed closely by Mrs. Dodds. I was surprised that he didn't know about her.

"Alright children I want a single file line at the back door of the cafeteria please." Mr. Brunner said as he pointed towards the door. We all got up and formed a line. Grover and I were near the front of the line so we could sit in the back of the bus. Grover and I entered the bus a few jocks and just plain dumb asses threw a paper wad or two at us as we walked to the back of the bus. Grover and I sat in the last seat on the right side of the bus. I put my headphones in my ears until I was rudely interrupted by Nancy Bobofit, she was this ugly red headed girl with a face full of freckles. Several things made me dislike her; one she was a clepto, two she hated Grover and three she hated me even more. All I can say about that is the feelings mutual.

"Ah look its Percy Jackass and his crippled friend Grover Uglywood." Nancy said. Even her verbal slights were stupid. Grover isn't really a cripple. He has crutches because this is his cover. I don't think the mortals would understand how a teenage boy could have the legs of a goat.

"Nancy could you sit down the driver might see you in the rear view mirror and get sick to his stomach." I said with an evil smirk. Nancy stared daggers at me, but before she could say anything Mr. Brunner addressed the students.

"Everyone please sit down we will be on our way now." Mr. Brunner said. Nancy sat down, but she glared at Grover and I the entire trip to the museum. I would have thought she was a monster if I hadn't been trained to smell one a mile away. After thirty minutes of driving in New York traffic we reached the museum. It was a beautiful looking building with its nod to Greek architecture. Not that I want to be an architect or anything, but Athena made me learn about it when I lived on Olympus. The bus pulled up to the front of the museum and the doors opened. "Alright, single file everyone." We exited the bus. I walked in front of Grover as we headed down the steps of the bus. Grover fell forward, but I caught him before he could hit the concrete. I tried not to show off too much of my strength, but I wasn't going to let my friend do a face plant in the middle of the museum's sidewalk either.

"Are you alright Grover?" I asked my friend. He gave me a thankful look.

"Someone pushed me." Grover said. I looked up already knowing who that someone was. I saw Nancy staring at me with an evil smirk on her face. I was pretty pissed I must say as I looked back at her. I saw the smirk evaporate from her face. Her face turned to one of complete fear. I looked into the window of the bus to see orange flames where my normal sea green eyes use to be. I calmed myself and my eye color went back to normal. I internally yelled at myself for letting my emotions get in the way of my mission. We walked into the museum with the rest of the class. I noticed that Nancy stayed as far away from me as possible. At least one positive came out of that incident I thought.

Mr. Brunner stopped in front of some statues of the big three and started to talk to the other students. Grover was also preoccupied by the conversation. Mrs. Dodds walked over to me and whispered in my ear.

"Percy, can we talk?" Mrs. Dodds asked. I nodded and followed her into the next room, which was under construction. "Its good to see you Perseus." I looked at Mrs. Dodds as she turned into the familiar features of the dark skinned woman with leathery wings, jagged teeth and glowing yellow eyes. She walked up to me and hugged me affectionately. Yeah, I know for most people this would be odd, but I had stayed with my uncle in the underworld numerous times.

"I wish we could meet under better circumstances Alecto." I said. Alecto smiled if you can call a smile filled with jagged teeth a smile.

"The next phase of your mission is about to begin I'm afraid." Alecto said.

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"Chiron and the satyr must believe that you are in danger. They already suspect that Hades wants the master bolt, so my appearance here will only reinforce that belief. We need them to understand that he doesn't have it, but that he wants it. This will force out the true thief." Alecto said.

"I take it this plan was thought up by Athena?" I asked. Alecto smiled at me again.

"Perceptive as always champion. Yes, this will be the perfect opportunity to get you to camp. The only problem is that you will have to destroy me." Alecto said. I was stunned I couldn't destroy my friend.

"I can't hurt you." I said. Alecto sighed and stared into my eyes sympathetically.

"You won't hurt me, I will be sent straight to the underworld. I cannot die." Alecto said. I sighed in return and nodded in agreement.

"Should I use my axe?" I asked.

"No, Chiron will provide the weapon for you. All you need to do is keep up the act." Alecto said.

"OK, one last thing before we start this." I said as I walked forward and hugged the Fury when we parted she had a surprised look on her face.

"You are the only demigod who would dare do that and the only one I would let do it." Alecto said as I smiled at her. Her smiled evaporated as she emitted a loud screech that would scare anyone to death except for someone who had faced much worse in the depths of the underworld. She flew up on top of a scaffold that was setup in the middle of the room and began yelling.

"Where is it, where is the bolt lightning thief?" Alecto yelled. Hey, she's a pretty good actor I thought. Suddenly the door to the room burst open and in came Chiron and Grover.

"Get away from him." Mr. Brunner, I mean Chiron yelled. Alecto dove forward as an object flew into my hands it was a celestial bronze sword. As the Fury sailed toward me I swung the sword haphazardly toward her. The blade sliced through her shoulder turning her into golden dust that fell on me and over the floor. I prayed to my uncle Hades to forgive me and to relate the prayer to Alecto. I stopped and tried to look as shocked as Grover looked standing next to Mr. Brunner.

"Perce, are you OK?" Grover asked. I looked at him then the sword and then to Mr. Brunner.

"Where did this sword come from?" I asked. Mr. Brunner and Grover both smiled at me.

"What did she want from you?" Mr. Brunner asked. I made a bewildered looked cross over my face.

"She said something about a lightning bolt." I said. Mr. Brunner's face lost all of its color as he visibly slouched into his wheel chair. "They think he took it, he's not safe we have to take him to camp." Mr. Brunner said. I had to act stupid.

"What camp and whose they?" I asked. Grover and Mr. Brunner both ignored me. Mr. Brunner rolled over and took the sword out of my hand placing a pen cap on top of it. The sword turned into an old ratty ballpoint pen.

"What the" I said as I looked at the pen/sword. Mr. Brunner smiled at me and placed the pen into his pocket. I knew immediately that was a weapon that I would use in the future, but I wasn't sure how or why I knew that.

"Percy, you are in danger that was a Fury, she and the others think that you've stolen something important. Please go with Grover to the camp, it is a safe place where no one can hurt you." Mr. Brunner said clearly trying to reassure him. I gave him a skeptical look, but then I forced myself to look weak and defeated as I nodded in agreement. I hope this is on Hephaestus television because I want an acting award. I followed Grover out of the museum, he called a taxi over to us and then we entered the car.

"Take us to Farm Road 3.141 in Long Island." Grover told the driver. The driver looked at us and shook his head.

"That will cost you." The driver said. Grover showed him a large roll of cash and the driver nodded as we pulled away from the curb and toward Long Island. As we drove through the streets of New York I looked out the window to watch the other cars and the people walk down the sidewalks. We stopped at a red light and I looked two my left to see three women dressed in traditional Greek robes holding what looked like a giant ball f yarn. The yarn was pulled to one side and extend between the three women. The woman in the middle pulled out a large pair of scissors and was about to cut the string when a bus passed in front of them. Once the bus had passed I looked again and the three women were gone. I looked over to Grover to see if he had seen them and I noticed that his mouth was open in shock and he paled in fright before me.

"Did you see that?" I asked. Grover finally snapped out of his daze and mumbled something about something not happening again. I wasn't sure what he was talking about, but I recognized those three women as the Fates. Did that mean I was going to die or was that a vision of something to come? I wasn't sure at all. After a good two hour drive we finally made it to the address given to the driver by my satyr friend.

"Are you sure this is the place son?" The driver asked.

"Yes sir, here you go keep the change." Grover said as the driver took the money and smiled. He drove off leaving Grover and I standing on a farm road in the middle of nowhere. It was now dark and I could barely make out anything, well at least without revealing my abilities.

"Grover, where are we?" I said trying to sound frustrated, it wasn't too hard to act that way.

"Camp is just down this driveway." Grover said. Grover walked down a dirt driveway and I followed him. The driveway crossed through a farm field full of strawberries and a few barns and outbuildings. As we walked I felt the ground shake. Grover and I looked off to our left and suddenly a large tree landed in front of us. We turned in the direction that the tree had come from and saw something that made us freeze. Standing across the farm field was a twelve foot tall monster. It had the body of a large man with the head of a bull with massive horns; great its the minotaur I thought. How am I going to fight this thing and hide my abilities at the same time?

AN: Hope you enjoyed this chapter as Percy met Grover and Chiron. Next chapter Percy fights the minotaur and meets a certain blonde haired daughter of Athena.
