A/N: Hey guys! Sorry it took me longer than usual to update. American Horror Story season 2 came out on Netflix so naturally I had to watch the whole thing.
Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys for the reviews on the last chapter, I got 7!
For this one, I'm not gonna update again until I get at least 7 again, but try for 10! Remember, the more reviews I get, the longer the chapters and the faster I update.
Happy reading(:
Percy:
It'd been 2 days since the Romans arrived at camp. Many of the Greek demigods hadn't warmed up to them, which is expected. Although no lives had - luckily - been lost during the almost-war a couple months ago, some demigods still held grudges. Reyna, Coach, and Nico had appeared just in time with the statue.
Finally, high school served a purpose. It was an escape. Sure, Percy loves Hazel and Frank. Gwen was cool, and Percy didn't know Hank that well. Reyna was so cold blooded, it was hard to see her at Camp Half Blood. And Octavian… who invited him?
Deep in thought, Percy didn't hear the first knock at his cabin door.
Or the second.
Or the third.
He began to take notice when Annabeth just sighed and let herself in, walking in to see a shirtless Percy laying on his bed. Without looking up, Percy said, "Knocking would be nice."
Annabeth came closer, "I tried. Multiple times, actually."
Percy sat up to the sound of his girlfriends name. "Oh, Annabeth." He put his hands through his hair, "Sorry."
She kissed him on his cheek. "It's fine," she shrugged.
Percy yawned, "What time is it?"
"6:30 in the morning. How long've you been up?" she asked.
"Not sure, a couple hours though. It's Thursday, right?"
Annabeth laughed and sat closer to Percy, "Yes."
He yawned again and set his head on Annabeth's lap. She played with his hair in silence. They sat like this for a while, listening to the camp slowly wake up and watching the room slowly get brighter.
"Annabeth?" Percy asked from her lap.
"Hm?"
"Has Chiron told you how long they're staying for, yet?"
"The Romans?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah," Percy grumbled.
Annabeth laughed, "Does it bother you that much?"
Percy sat up and frowned, "No, it's not that it bothers me. It's just that…" he paused, thinking, "I thought that we finally could get back to normal, I don't know. Now that the war's over, we could just go back to training and school and camp and I don't know, normal."
"Percy," Annabeth sighed, "what exactly is normal?"
Percy couldn't answer, he didn't have one. But she didn't expect one. They've never lived in "normal." So instead of dealing with the harsh reality of what was their life, they kissed and talked and fell asleep; missing school and training.
Calypso:
"And along with Hoover and Roosevelt, the 3rd progressive president was…?"
Calypso shot her hand up in the air.
Mr. Parson said, "Yes, Calypso?"
She smiled and answered, "Taft."
"Good! And he was best known for…?"
A kid in the back laughed and answered, "Getting stuck in a bathtub?"
Mr. Parson laughed along. "Yes, yes, along with getting stuck in the bathtub, what did he do?"
"He was the trust buster, right?" Calypso answered.
"Exactly," he said, "Now if only he busted bathtubs, that way he wouldn't get stuck in them." The class snickered. Mr. Parson looked up at the clock. "Oh, and that seems to be the end of our time. We have 3 more minutes, pack up your stuff. Don't forget, quiz tomorrow on the progressive era, and I don't wanna hear any 'But Mr. Parson! I didn't know we have a quiz!' Nope, none of that bullshit, just come in and take the damn quiz."
The class laughed and nodded, packing up. Calypso tossed her pencil in her bag and zipped it up. "Why is it," someone walked up behind her and hugged her waist while she was picking up her backpack, "that whenever I see you around school, other guys are always staring at you?"
Calypso turned around to see her boyfriend, frowning and glaring at the guys in her class. She laughed and kissed his cheek. "They're watching in anticipation for my macho boyfriend to come over."
Leo loosened up a bit and looked lovingly into her eyes for a second, before cockily smirking and saying, "Damn straight."
She laughed and playfully shoved his chest. While he overexaggerated his fall backwards, she tossed her backpack at him. "You mind?" she smirked.
Leo frowned, "Yes, actually." But she was already walking out the door. He caught up to her, her backpack in hand, "Hey!"
She gave him her best bitchy puppy dog face, "But I thought you were macho? Team Leo?"
"Well, yeah-"
She kissed his cheek, "You're the best!"
It was lunch, so Calypso lead Leo (and their backpacks) to their usual lunch table. Jason already sat there alone, picking at a sandwich. Leo sat down next to him and nodded his head toward Jason's lunch. "What'd ya get?"
Jason made a face and the sandwich, "Peanut butter and seaweed. How 'bout you?"
Leo opened his lunch and frowned, "I just got an empty, crushed soda can."
"I just got a slice of bread," Calypso stated blatantly. "I hate to admit it, but Chiron isn't the best chief."
Jason and Leo shrugged in agreement.
Leo looked around. "Where's…?"
As if on cue, Piper threw her backpack onto the center of the table.
"Yo!" Jason gasped, "You crushed my peanut butter and seaweed!"
Piper shrugged and sat down next to him, "Not like you were gonna eat it anyways."
"You're right."
"Hey," Nico said sitting by Calypso, "it's better than my empty soda can."
"Whoa, that's what I got!" Leo told him.
Nico just shook his head, "Whoever let Chiron near the kitchen needs to be thrown in Tartarus. Anyone have any other food?"
"I have…" Piper dug through her backpack and pulled out a little baggy, "some nectar?"
Nico rolled his eyes, "Thanks, I'll let ya know if I get stabbed today."
"I might need some of that," Leo complained. "I have Ms. Crawlin next and I may just stab myself."
"Make it quick," someone snickered from behind him. Calypso turned around to see the jocks and sluts. Andrew seemed to be the culprit of the asshole comment.
Piper stood up, "Or we could just fight right here and see who comes out bloody."
All of the jocks backed up laughing, fanning PIper, while the sluts just laughed. "Big words from such a small girl," Andrew commented.
"What are you?" Becca asked, "A freshman?"
"Sophomore," Piper said through her teeth.
Jess laughed, "Yeah, not worth it."
"Oh I'll-"
"Pipes, she's not worth it," Jason reminded her, standing up and touching her shoulder.
"And the nobel boyfriend comes to the rescue!" Brandon laughed, "Won't let her fight your battles?"
"Weird," Andrew added, "because she seems so capable."
Jason pulled PIper back to her seat, "Ignore them."
"What?" Andrew taughted, "Not in the fighting mood now that queen and king aren't here?"
"Yeah, where are they anyway?" Becca laughed, "Still recovering from the party? Pussies."
"If anyone should still be recovering it should be you," Leo stood up to face Andrew, "heard Annabeth got you good, asshole."
Calypso could have sworn she saw Brandon smile a little bit at that comment, but then he swallowed back his expression and hardened his face to back up his friends.
"Come on guys," Andrew said to his friends turning around. "They're nothing, not worth our time." With slight hesitation they listened and followed him through out of the lunch area and into the quad.
For the rest of the school day, Calypso wondered why Percy and Annabeth didn't go to school. She couldn't wait to go back to camp and find out. But then again, the Romans were there. Maybe she could just sleep in the car.
A/N: Whoa whoa, so we got some Percabeth, some Caleo, and some everyone sitting together! Also yay, looky looky who's fitting it a little bit more, NICO. Lemme know what you think!
So I know I didn't have much about the romans in this chapter, but they're in it in the next one! So get excited, it's gonna be cool!
Once again, I won't be updating until I get 7 reviews, but lets go for 10+.
Thank you so much!(:
