"Perseus Jackson!" Mrs. Dodds, my least favorite teacher, yelled. I instantly awoke. I looked around and everyone was staring at me while laughing. "Maybe instead of playing video games all night, you should actually try to get some sleep, so you wouldn't have detention like you do now!" she yelled from across the room. I instantly slumped down in my chair, wishing that I could again fall asleep.

"Now that you are awake, what is negative twenty-four divided by three to the fifth power?" she asked. I slumped farther down my seat, not knowing the answer. "Once again, you do not know. Can anyone tell Perseus what the answer is?" she asked. Annabeth quickly raised her hand, being the math whizz that she is. "-0.09876543209." she answered. Mrs. Dodds suddenly smiled. Annabeth was the teacher's pet in her class. Heck, she was the teacher's pet in all of her classes. "That's right Annabeth, good job!" Mrs. Dodds told her. Annabeth smiled.

After about thirty more minutes of class, the bell finally rang. As I walked into the hallway, I noticed Annabeth just standing there. "How can you like Mrs. Dodds? She's the worst teacher here!" I told her. "You have to get to know here, she's really nice. She's just mean to you because she expects more of you." she said. "I doubt that's the reason. Would she give me detention if she thinks I show potential?" I asked her. She stood there, unable to answer my question. "Just try to stay awake in her class next time Percy, and try to pay attention. I'll see you later." she said, as she walked away.

About an hour later, it was finally lunch time. I noticed Grover sitting all alone at one of the tables, which is really unlike him. He loves sitting next to someone he could talk to. I sat near him. "What's wrong G-Man?" I asked him. I noticed that he was trying not to cry. He didn't answer me. "Grover, what's wrong?" I asked again. He looked up at me. "Juniper's cheating on me." he said, as a tear rac3ed down his cheek, which was again really unlike him. I've never seen Grover cry. I sat there in disbelief. "How do you know?" I asked. "I caught her making out with Bryce in the hallway. They didn't notice me. Later today, I confronted her about it, and she said she didn't know what I was talking about, and broke up with me." I looked down at my food. Bryce annoys me. Just because he's quarterback of the football team, all the girls are all over him, even though he is a complete jerk. I wanted to go up and beat him senseless, but I know that I would be the one really getting hurt. He's six foot six, and weighs around two-hundred pounds. I'm only six foot four, and weigh around one hundred-eighty. "Is there anything I can do G-Man?" I asked him. He looked at me. "Can I stay at your place tonight? I need to get my mind off of her." Grover answered back. I nodded. "Stay as long as you want. I've got to head to class, though. I'll see you at my place." I told him, and walked off.

What I found shocked me. I walked in the hallway, and found Juniper and Bryce hugging. I know I'm probably getting ready to get beat to a pulp, but my overwhelming anger consumes me. "Bryce!" I yelled. They instantly broke the hug, and Juniper ran to her next class. "You knew that Juniper was dating Grover. Grover's devastated. Break up with Juniper now!" I yelled at him, unaware that in the next ten seconds I would be badly hurting. "What are you going to do about Jackson?" He asked, as he gently pushed me against a nearby locker. "Don't shove me!" I said, as I nudged him back. He instantly brought up his fist and punched my face with incredible force. I wanted to scream, but my pain was replaced by more anger. I punched him back. I brought up my fist for another punch, but he saw it coming, grabbed my wrist, and hit it so hard to where I actually did scream. I fell to the floor, aware that he had probably broken it. Bryce brought his foot up to kick me while I was down, but he suddenly realized that we were both being watched.

"Perseus Jackson!" Mrs. Dodds yelled with such anger I thought I could see smoke blowing out of her ears. "You now have a full week of detention! And Bryce, I'm giving you a warning." I got even more angry. "What? I get a week of detention and he gets a warning! He was trying to kill me!" I yelled at her. "I'm aware of that, but Bryce isn't a trouble maker like you. And for being disrespectful, I'll make it two weeks! Now get to class!" she yelled.

I held up my wrist. "It's broken, I blankly told her." "Then what are you waiting for? Go to the nurse and get her to look at it!" she shouted back. I started walking to the nurse, wincing in pain with every step. When I finally got there, she told me that is indeed broken and that I need to call my mom to bring me to the hospital. Later, Mom came and picked me up. Mrs. Dodds has already told her about the fight, and how I am really the one "responsible."

It was a silent ride. Finally, Mom spoke. "Okay, so Mrs. Dodds told me that happened. Now tell me what really happened." she told me, she not liking Mrs. Dodds either. I told her everything. I told her that Juniper cheated on Grover and broke up with him, that Bryce started the fight, how he's not getting punished. She nodded. "I figured as much. Text Grover and tell him that he can spend the night. Tonight, have as much fun as you possibly can with Grover because after this, you're grounded for a week for getting in a fight. Even though I know you didn't start it, and that you fought for a good reason, but I don't want you in any fights period. Do you understand me Percy?" she asked. I nodded in agreement. This was going to be a long two weeks…
