"Eww! Gross Connor!" I exclaimed as I pushed whatever he just dissected away from my face.
"It's part of our mark!" he laughed.
"Still!" I laughed.
Let's just say my science teacher did NOT like us working together. Like that'll stop us. I was the only person without a lab partner until now and he can't tell us we have to work alone since I know for a fact they don't have enough supplies.
But back to now. It's lunch.
"So, did I tell you about what happened with Travis and Katie?" Connor asked.
"Don't you dare Connor!" Travis said.
"Tell me!" I exclaimed.
"Hey, Liv. Who are they?" Mo asked.
"Travis right? You're in my English class." Wen said.
"This is Travis and Connor Stoll. And they're not twins. Just to let you know." I said. "But seriously, tell me!"
"Okay, so Katie had to stay back for three days right?" Connor said.
Travis groaned and slumped in his seat.
"Mind if I join you guys today?" Scott said.
"Dude, you go to school here?" Connor asked.
"Yeah, what're you doing here?" Scott asked.
"Tell you later." Connor said.
"Now, will you continue the story?" I asked.
"Fine, so she's gardening," he said before pausing.
"Are you talking about Travis asking Katie out in front of everybody?" Scott asked.
"You were there for that?" I asked.
"It was a day after you went home." He said.
"Yes, and thank you for ruining my story." Connor said.
"Why do I feel so left out?" Charlie said.
"Yeah, Scott, I thought..." Mo said. "Wait, where's Ray? And Jules and Patty?"
"They're on a trip. Might be a few months before they're back..." He said.
"Who?" Connor whispered in my ear.
"Two cheerleaders and a manticore posing as a jock." I whispered back.
"Empousai." Scott whispered.
"No way." I said my jaw dropping. "Well I gotta go. Connor, Travis, you coming?"
The three of us left without another word. I led him into Ms. Reznick's class, since... Well, she's the only teacher we can trust.
"A manticore, two empousai, five demigods and a satyr in the same school? Not good." I said.
"Who said it was good?" Scott asked entering the room.
"How'd you get past Mo?" I asked.
"Told her I had practice. But, be careful around her." He said.
"Are Jules and Patty gone, or did they disappear?" I asked.
"Disappeared. They seem to be targeting you and the four the most." He said.
"It could be because I'm a demigod." I pointed out.
"Or it could be that one of your friends are one." Travis said. Did he just make sense for once?
"Do any of them have dyslexia or ADHD?" Scott asked.
"Not that I know of. But not all demigods have them." I said.
"For one thing, the attacks started the day you five actually formed the band." He said.
"It still could be anyone." Connor said.
"How about this? Each one of us watch one member of the band carefully. Scott, you take Mo, Travis can take Wen since you have few classes with him, Connor, you take Charlie -he's the one with long hair- and I'll watch Stella." I said.
"And I'll tell Grover we're doing this." Scott said before leaving.
"Let's go." I said as we left the classroom, heading to our next classes.
