Alright, things are beginning to lighten up a bit with school, and this story is doing great. Thank you all. I know the pairing in this story isn't the usual coupling you're all used to reading, but it means a lot that you are willing to give it a chance. Thank you again, and here's the next chapter.
A Little Family Reunion
Percy' POV
-1 month later-
I tell you, fate has quite an awkward sense of humor. Considering what happened over a month ago between me and Clarisse on the night of the party, I never would've thought that things would get to how they are right now. You all know how she said she'd make sure Drew never gets her hands on me? We'll, let me tell you, she was beyond dead serious about that. She was literally making a career out of making sure Drew never comes anywhere near me. Clarisse is very persistent, not like she never was before, but damn. Clarisse really knows how to make an enemy out of Drew. Every time it was time for camp to go to the pavilion for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner, I would sit at the Poseidon table as usual, and Clarisse would have her eyes wide open like a hawk. On week days, all she could do was watch since she was supposed to sit at her father Ares' table. But on weekends, the days of the week where people are allowed to sit anywhere we want, I would still sit at the Poseidon table, and Clarisse would sit next to me. She would just eat her food and keep her eyes open for Drew, just in case she ever does something unexpected.
Clarisse and I hardly ever talk when the weekends come and she's sitting by me. She would just make sure Drew doesn't come within fifty feet near me or whatever. Most of the time, despite my gratitude towards Clarisse for making sure Drew doesn't try anything to sexual abuse me, she and I would sit in an uncomfortable silence. Well, it was uncomfortable for me at least, I'm not entirely sure about Clarisse since she's pretty much always making sure Drew stays away from me. And to make the matter of me starting to feel uncomfortable about all of this even worse, Clarisse wasn't the only one who started to sit at the Poseidon table with me. Her two friends Angelica and Paulina, who both always look at me with emotions ranging from hate to desire to kill. They only started sitting at my table to because they wanted to keep the trio between the two of them and Clarisse going on as much as possible. Neither of them ever talked to me at all, just threw negative emotion filled faces at me. I was fine about that, I didn't really have anything to say to either to them anyways.
And every other hour of the day, when Clarisse was alone and away from everyone else and she found me alone, she would come over to me and make sure Drew still hasn't touched or come anywhere near me, which she hasn't, not yet at least. But knowing how persistent children of Aphrodite can be when it comes to them wanting someone and the person they want doesn't want them in return, I know Drew is just waiting for the perfect time to pounce. Well, I just hope that moment never comes.
As for all the other moments between me and Clarisse, well, she's still playing the bully card on me. The more she does and the more she keeps checking on me by asking me stuff like "are you okay?" and "Has Drew touch you?", the more I just want to say something like "No, I'm not fine and you're really starting to fucking irritate me and I want you to fucking stop bothering me.". It always gets harder to not to tell her something like that, but somehow I'm still able to keep it all in. I don't know what to consider Clarisse and me anymore. Back then, it was nothing but bully and target. Now, well, I can't say that we're friends or anything, I don't know what to call us. I would like to just think of her as an acquaintance. That's all I want to think of her as, but I don't really know if I can and/or do or not. As far as I know, she still doesn't know about that night in her cabin. That's how I want it to stay as. I don't want her to know about that night. Not only will her knowing about that night sign my death warrant, but it will make my situation with her all the more worse.
Anyways, I should get to the moment right now. I'm in my cabin, listening to some Five Finger Death Punch. I was also getting onto my laptop to play a game. Just as I was about to pick a game to play, an Iris Message came out of the small fountain I have in here and it showed me my cyclops of a brother.
"Percy!" Tyson exclaimed.
"Tyson, hey buddy!" I said trying to share in his enthusiasm.
"How you've been brother?" Tyson asked.
"As good as a half-blood can be. How about you, how are things going for you?" I asked.
"Well with all the armory and weapons I was able to make for dad's army, I'm finally getting some free time. So, even though I can't see you in person, I was wondering if we could chill for a while. You know, a brotherly competition, son of Poseidon to son of Poseidon." Tyson said.
"Uh, I don't know big guy." I said unsure of what to make of this exactly.
"Please brother, I've missed you. I've got access to a computer like you, so maybe we can try an online game." Tyson begged.
I really didn't want to, not after being left alone, but I couldn't argue with the fact that I really did miss him to. Plus it's just playing a video game, it's not like he's asking for a battle or something.
"Alright." I said.
"Thank you brother." Tyson said.
"What game did you have in mind?" I asked.
"This new one I just found, it's called "Don't Whack Your Teacher"." Tyson said.
"Do you have a bad teacher or something?" I joked, my mood starting to brighten up.
"I guess you could say that. The guy running dad's armory is quite an irritating shit." Tyson said.
And with that, Tyson and I got online and found the game. The intro was a teacher writing on a chalk board and then a student throws a ruler at his head. The ruler is thrusted into his head and the teacher says "This is an outrage!". I don't know how that's even possible.
(I love this game. I have a physical sense of humor. Every time I play it, I have an ROTFLOL moment. (rolling on the floor laughing out loud).)
"Wow, what a friendly family game here." I joked.
"Okay, here's the contest, the one who can kill him in five ways the quickest will win." Tyson explained.
"I just won." I said causing the both of us to laugh.
"You didn't even hit play. Hit the play button." Tyson said.
"Game over, I didn't need to hit the play button. I hit him in the head with a fucking ruler that apparently acted like a tomahawk." I said causing us both to laugh and then pressing the play button to begin the game.
"Okay, I'm gonna help this guy out actually." I said clicking on the scissors.
"By cutting off his tie?" Tyson asked.
"Yeah, because you know, his tie is too long." I said as the kid cut the teacher's tie off and followed by the teacher saying "How dare you! I am ashamed of you!" and then the kid slitting the teacher's throat open.
"Oh wow." Tyson said.
"You see, the white wall, or white board, or whatever that damn thing behind him is supposed to be was blank. He needed to fill out some of that negative space." I explained.
"That's not a very good teaching assistant. And what, you're poring him coffee now?" Tyson asked as I clicked on the mug of coffee.
"Yes Tyson, excuse me, you see, I'm literally dislocating my own leg to help him out, that's how eager I am to help him." I said as the bot got the mug of coffee and used it to hit his teacher in the face and the back of the head with.
"What the fuck?" Tyson said snickering.
"See, with how tired he is, you can tell he hasn't had his morning caffeine yet, and he needs some coffee." I said.
"That's not you give people coffee." Tyson laughed as the boy now pored coffee on the teacher's wound.
"Actually Tyson, it is. What I just did there was give him a deep muscle massage. Okay, I got the blood flowing so that the caffeine gets to his heart faster. Because that's one way to understand how the human body works." I explained.
"If you say so." Tyson said not wanting to argue.
"Okay, let's see, what else can I do to help our teacher?" I asked.
"You're not helping him too well really, and I don't know how he keeps coming back to life." Tyson said.
"Tyson, if you listen closely, you can see that the teacher can't even talk. He literally needs all the help he can get." I said clicking on the pesticide followed by the boy grabbing it and the teacher saying "How dare you!" and the boy forcing the pesticide into the teacher's mouth.
"Percy, what was that?" Tyson asked.
"He had bad coffee breath. I needed to help him get rid of that bad breath of his." I said right before the kid then punched the teacher in the face which caused Tyson to squeal in laughter.
"Okay, I can't rationalize that. I was pissed for being held after class, that's all I have to say." I said.
"You cold clocked him in the fucking face!" Tyson laughed.
"Tyson, did you just say that I cold cocked him?" I asked, a little confused as to what I thought he said.
"No, I said clocked Percy, clocked." Tyson cleared up for me.
"Okay, um, here's the thing. I don't really appreciate the implication here Tyson. Firstly, you're having a hard time speaking English right now. Secondly, you seem to be trying to imply that I actually want to have sex with someone. Honestly bro, I'm just trying to help my teacher learn better." I said clicking on a text book which the boy picked up to hit the teacher in the hand and then on the head, which caused him to fall off his chair.
"Oh my gods." Tyson said.
"You see, I'm helping him learn by showing him the true power of reading and books Tyson. Oh, I tell you, I think that Athena and Artemis would be very proud of me right now." I said as the boy was smashing the teachers face with the text book, which was now starting to get blood splattered all over it.
"Lady Athena and Lady Artemis would be proud of you by you showing your teacher the power of fucking face smash book? Oh my gods." Tyson snickered.
"Face smash book. Yes, you see Tyson, we have ourselves a new website for the internet. Oh, and by the way, did this ever happen to you recently Tyson? Did someone smash your head with a big text book and is that why you can't talk good anymore?" I asked causing both him and me to laugh just as the boy was done smashing the teacher's head with the text book and finished things off here by throwing the text book straight at the teacher's face.
"Okay Percy, look man, just kill him one more time. Okay, you get one more chance to kill your teacher, so make it count brother." Tyson said in between his laughs.
"I haven't been killing this man, I've been helping him. This is Mr. Hollins Opus Tyson." I said.
"You are a horrible person right now Percy." Tyson said.
"How am I a horrible person Tyson? I'm just help this man become a better teacher." I said while clicking on the chair the boy was sitting on which got him to pick it up and swung it at his teacher, which caused his nose and mouth to bleed and for him to lose most of his teeth.
"Oh my fucking gods!" Tyson laughed.
"I'm making him a better teacher by knocking his fucking teeth out of his fucking mouth." I said.
"I'm almost afraid to ask, but are you testing the chair for him now? Is this what you consider just testing the chair? Oh my gods." Tyson said as the boy knocked the teacher out of his chair and started to hit him in the head like how he did with the text book.
"Yes Tyson, that's all this is. That's all I'm really doing, testing out the chair for him. Because I mean just . . . just . . . just look how unsteady the chair is Tyson. I mean, can you possibly imagine what would happen if he sat on this damn thing? Why I . . . I just had to simply demonstrate the fact that I basically just saved his life. Okay?" I said right after the boy got done hitting the teacher in the head with his chair and then placing the legs of the chair on the teacher and then jumping on the chair so that the chair gets a lot more blood out of the teacher.
"Gods. Geese brother." Tyson laughed. Even though Tyson is a cyclops and all, I'm not too sure if I pegged him for being a physical sense of humor kind of guy. But then again, no one would consider the same for me, so I guess we both have some unusual traits in us. It must be some sort of trait Tyson and I get from our father Poseidon.
"Can someone please call the ambulance now? Because I now need my paycheck. This is literally worth like a week's worth of teaching assisting shifts." I said.
"Really?" Tyson asked.
"I think. I don't know really. But I do know one thing. I better be getting paid for this, otherwise I'm not going to do it again. Even if it grants me the privilege of getting to kill some selfish shit." I said causing both Tyson and I to laugh for about half a minute. And speaking of minutes, my final time for killing my teacher five times is at two and a half minutes.
"Alright Tyson, it's your turn now." I said after settling down from laughing a lot.
Clarisse's POV
I had no idea Percy and Tyson could be so bad. Percy was right. This is quite the friendly family game here, note the sarcasm as I say that just like how Percy did. I should explain what's going on. After I kicked everyone's ass in the sword arena that challenged me, I left immediately to go find Percy. I needed to make sure Drew still hasn't touched Percy and is still keeping her distance. I've been at it for over a month already, and I intend to do it for as long as I live. Will I ever stop? Unless someone or something murders that cock sucking cunt and sends her to the hell hole she crawled out of, not likely.
After my sword fighting, I went looking for Percy. I started with the hiding place he has, the hiding place that only I know about. When I got there though, he wasn't there. And when I checked the hiding spot of where he hides his guitar, it was still there, and it looked like Percy hadn't touched it today. So I went off to look for him at the next likely place I knew he would be at, his cabin. I was right. I was about to open the door and do the routine of making sure Drew wasn't trying anything on him at all when I heard Tyson's voice in there.
Peeking through the window of his cabin, I saw that Tyson was Iris Messaging Percy. Then Tyson was challenging Percy to what Tyson was calling a little brotherly competition. I watch them, and I have to say, the sons of Poseidon are full of surprises.
Now it was Tyson turn to play. As I was getting ready for the show, I started to feel nauseous. Feeling this sudden sickness, I rushed over to the bathroom and I emptied my stomach of today's meals. I kept puking until my stomach literally felt empty.
"Clarisse?" Angelica asked as she and Paulina came in.
"Woah, what's this about?" Paulina asked as I flushed the toilet.
"I don't know. I just suddenly felt like I was going to throw up, so I rushed into the bathroom and ended up vomiting." I said heading to the sink to try to get the bitter taste of vomit out of my mouth.
"Do either of you two have a breath mint?" I asked.
They nodded no.
"Come on, let's head to the infirmary. Maybe you had something bad to eat today." Paulina said.
"Okay." I said following her and Angelica to the infirmary.
I hope you all don't mind that I had Tyson and Percy expressing their OOCness through a video game here. I thought it would be funny to show a bit of a wild side of Poseidon's two sons. This was only half of their little brotherly competition. The next chapter will be finishing the other half of their brotherly competition and it will reveal the beginning of some other big events. I'm very excited to be writing for this. I hope you're all as eager as me for the next update. I'll post the next chapter as soon as possible.
