I just wanted to say, I know a lot of people out there are struggling with stories. With COVID and school, it's really unpredictable right now. So, I just wanted to put this here to say, we're all there right now.

Also, this chapter is not meant to be offensive. You should be offended if you are like this guy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson or any other characters

What up? My name is Joseph Wright. And I'm the King of Goode High School. I just really couldn't come up with a description. Let's just imagine he's the person we all hate most.

I love being a bully. You get paths made for you in the hallways, 'free' lunch (well, with someone else's money, but that's not important), and fear from the other wimp, I mean,... students! Yes. Students.

But then I met Hazel Levesque.

It was like she was untouchable. She was way too nice. I was trying to figure out what to bully her about in Pre-Algebra when it came to me.

She's black. Again, no offense meant, this guy is just a made-up bitch.

LINE BREAK

"Hey, Hazel," I said smoothly. I tried to act as friendly as possible.

"Oh... hey Joseph." She put away a picture she was looking at. It was her and some kind of Asian-baby-sumo wrestler guy. The guy leaned down and kissed her. Must be a boyfriend. Who would want to date her? Lots of people, asshole.

"I was just wondering..." I looked into her gold eyes, what a freak Back at ya, freak. "What's it like, having your job?"

"My... job?"

"On the plantation," I said it like I was clarifying a simple question like, what was the page for homework?

"Excuse me?" Her jaw was clenched. Didn't expect this reaction from her.

"You heard me, slave," she had her fists at her sides now.

Then she smiled at something behind me. I turned around to see what was disrupting our ever so important conversation. I turned around and saw a fuming dude, about 6'3. He was the Asian boy that was kissing Hazel.

"What did you just say to Hazel?" His tone was very quiet and dangerous.

No backing out now.

"I said," trying to get up in his face, "What. Was. It. Like. As. A. Slave?" I pronounced each word.

Before either of us could react, Hazel (from behind) delivered a kick to my no-no zone. I fell on my knees groaning.

"That was awesome, Haze." Asian boy kissed Hazel and looked at me once more. He kicked my ribs (hard You deserve it) and leaned down it my ear and whispered, "You ever mess with my girlfriend again, and I'll punch you into Pluto's realm." Pluto? Like the planet?

Then Baby Sumo Guy stood up and spun his girlfriend around while she blushed. Some of the girls awwed and I wanted to tell them to can it, but my pain was doubling my vision.

That's how I learned not to call Hazel Levesque ANYONE a slave, or even point out that they're black.

I was VERY afraid to post this chapter because of all the things that are going on in the US right now. But I figured this was important.
NEVER DISCRIMINATE ANYONE FOR ANY REASON. Unless they are a-holes like Joseph. Then you can point out that they only have one brain cell, the one that makes their mouth say stupid words.

KEEP BEING AWESOME,
