Disclaimer: I am really tired of doing this. But... I do not own the series. Or characters. Or the school. Mr. Rick Riordan and Ancient people do, but Annabeth and Athena owns Percy and Poseidon.
Metis Point of View:
I met up with everyone by my locker.
Katie, at least I think that's her name and I am pretty sure, a daughter of Demeter whispered to my ear, "Wow, Metis. What did you do to them? They are all here so quick today. Usually it would take them forever."
I chuckled and shook my head in amusement.
"You guys should have been at the scene," I told everyone who was in a relationship and was being chased by some jock or cheerleader. "I would have never guessed that those people are actually good enough to be an architect."
"Cheerleaders?" Hermes asked, putting an arm around Artemis's waist.
I nodded. "But that's not the real problem. It's what they drew."
I got raised eyebrows.
"The teacher, whose name was Miss Smith asked the class to draw a dream closet. I decided to but some animals made of jewels: two owls, an eagle and a dolphin."
"An eagle for me?"
"Maybe. But that's not the point."
They were silent for a bit while I waited for them to catch up.
"Wisdom, inteligence, courage, and everything they symbolize," Annabeth concluded.
I nodded. "I was the first one to share it. The cheerleaders were one of the last ones to share. Two of them placed Wyvern and... well... a squirrel."
"Preparedness and activity." Artemis gowled. "The squirrel."
" Revenge, Retribution, Creating Protective Barriers of Fear as a Defense." Athena glanced at Poseidon. "They won't give up, will they?"
I averted my gaze. "No. I doubt it. But I know you will win."
She nodded and the warning bell rang. "Well, I guess we better go. I don't want to be late. And we'll make a plan to get back at them tomorrow."
Veronica's Point of View (Didn't see tis coming, didja?)
As my posse and I walked into the final class of the day, which was Greek, I squealed. We had made a new plan, since OBVIOUSLY trying to get the boys by force would not work. We will make them our friends and we will invite them to the popular table. Then we become like, best friends. And then like, the boys will totally fall for us! Its such a flawless plan! There's like, sooooo much boys to choose from! Victor, Dylan, Percy, Jason, Nico, Chris, Frank, Leo, Travis and Conner, Luke... OMG!
Luck must really be with us: as soon as we walked in, we saw Metis, Athena, Diana, Annabeth and Catherine. How can you say luck is not with us?!
Anyways, since there was no assigned seats, we walked over to the five girls in the middle of the room. They were all surrounded. And since the teacher is not here yet, everything is just a lot easier.
"Hey!" Candy said to a random loser girl that sat next to Annabeth. "Move."
And that drew the class's attention.
"Is there a problem?" Athena asked, raising a delicate eyebrow.
I felt Abby tense besides me. I could relate. It's so unfair. You know how raising your eyebrows would give you wrinkles?! I didn't happen like that. She's like, still very pretty. It's like, so unfair!
I studied their jewelry for a little bit. And I was immediaely jealous. They didn't have much. Athena only had owl earings. Problem? Made of Alexandrite. Expensive? You bet. Annabeth had a similar one put was not as detailed and had a necklace around her neck with strange clay beads. Catherine? Flower shaped earings and necklace and bracelet all made of Amber. Diana only had a pair of moon earings made of clear diameonds, so it was very hard to see. Metis? Probably the most glamorous out of them all. Her earings had leading dolphins on waves and were made of Apatite. Necklace was made of gold chains and had a small change that said Metis it was made out of Amestyst. And a bracelet of citrine. Were they rich like me?
I cleared my throat. "Actually, we want to be friends. Friends have to sit next to each other and this girl is blocking our way."
"Well then, come earlier next time." Diana glared at Candy. This might have been because she was flirtng with Luke.
"Well, next time. Sure. But..." Candy smirked and pushed the loser girl right off her seat and sat down. Same thing with Abby, Danielle. Sarah and I.
They tensed then got up to fill in the remaining five seats that were in the front of the room that were surrounded by losers and nerds. We got up to follow but Mr. Lass decided to come in.
And we were standing up.
"Well?" He asked. "Sit down! What are you waiting for?" Reluctantly, we sat down. This was not plannned at all!
Unknown (otherwise called David [Patrick's Friend, remember?] Point of View:
I sat there and watched Veronica, Abby, and the cheerleaders get ticked off. What a shame, they were pretty. But I had eyes only for Athena. And maybe Annabeth or Metis. By now I can't really tell: they could pass for identical triplets if it were not for the eyes. But I think Athena is the prettiest one there.
I won't mind if Abby has eyes for that swimmer named Dylan. He easily beated the record of Percy Jackson today but would not take captain. Weirdos. Oh well, back to reality.
I was staring at her curves (A/N I am really uncomfortable writing this. I'm only 13... *shudders*) and I was mesmerized by them. My eyes moved to her jewels. There was not very much, but enough. That necklace looked expensive, more than the one my mother would sometimes wear. athletic, feisty, intelligent, hot and rich? A full pack. Perfect. And then my gaze reached her lips. And I grew angry. That swimmer Dylan often had his mouth on it. If I were him...
"Mr. Martins." Mr. Lass said. He pointed to the picture on the smartboard. "Since you are not coping down the focus and the Do Now, I can only assume you are done with it. So, answer the do now question. Name the currency that is used by the ancient Greeks."
I studied the picture. "Drachmas." I said confidenty. It was on the board, right in the picture.
But that old bastard is clearly not impressed. "Anyone else?" He asked.
A nerd raised his hand. "Six obols equal one drachma."
He nodded. "Indeed. And more?"
"100 drachma is one mina," Annabeth supplied.
"600 minae is one talent," Athena continued.
"Which is equivalent to 57 pounds of silver." Diana said.
Hmmm...
Mr. Lass smiled. "Anything else?"
"Typical costs of goods in ancient Greece:A loaf of bread 1 obol. Lamb 8 drachmas. A gallon of olive oil 5 drachmas. A pair of shoes ost about 8 to 12 drachmas. Slaves 200 to 300 drachmas. Houses 400 to 1000 drachmas." That was Metis.
Wow. If I date anyone of them, I could easily ask them to do my homework...
And for the rest of the day, I just stared at the five girls.
