The next few days the ten of them just explored the town together. They stayed together from then on, to be ready for any other monster attacks. But now it was Monday, their first day of school. They all met up to go to school together.
"Ugh. There's Hell itself," Rikki said. Percy and Annabeth tensed. Zane noticed.
"Hell is much worse," Percy muttered to himself.
"We have to go get our schedules from the office. We'll meet up with you guys later," Piper said and led the demigods to the office. On the way, Percy and Annabeth calmed down. They got their schedules and had almost every class together. The only different class was their second elective, which was third period. Percy had Swim, Annabeth had Design, Piper had Yearbook, and Jason had Natural Disasters. Other than that, their classes went like this…
Period 1 - Science
Period 2 - ELA
Period 3 - (Elective 2)
Period 4 - Lunch
Period 5 - Mythology (Elective 1)
Period 6 - History
Period 7 - Math
Period 8 - Physical Education
So they headed towards science class. Once the demigods stepped into the classroom, everyone turned to look at them. Percy noticed some guys staring at Annabeth and he gave them his wolf glare. Jason did the same with Piper. The guys sunk into their seats in fear. Then they saw Rikki sitting alone in the back of the class and they went to sit with her.
When the teacher walked in, Annabeth and Percy immediately recognized her.
"Mrs. Dodds," Percy whispered under his breath.
"Hello, class. I am Mrs. Dodds and I am your new science teacher. And it seems that we also have four new students," the teacher said. "Perseus Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace and Piper McLean. Would you four please come up to the front of the class and introduce yourselves." Piper winced at her last name, knowing someone is bound to recognize her. The four walked up to the front of the class. Percy stood next to Mrs. Dodds, his hand clenched around Riptide in his pocket.
"Hello, my name is Annabeth and I am from San Francisco, California."
"Hi, my name is Percy and I'm from New York City."
"I'm Piper and I'm from Los Angeles, California."
"And I'm Jason from Berkeley, California." They were about to go sit down when someone shouted from the back of the classroom.
"How do you guys know each other if you don't even live near each other? Especially the Percy guy."
"Uh, summer camp," Percy said and rushed to sit back down but Mrs. Dodds grabbed his wrist.
"Now, Honey. Maybe other people want to ask something," Mrs. Dodds said all sweet-like. Exactly how she did at Yancy Academy.
"Are you single?" some girl shouted. Percy put his arm around Annabeth and Jason put his arm around Piper. The girl frowned.
"Are you related to Tristan McLean?" someone asked and Piper winced.
"Yes. He's my father," she said quietly. A couple of girls squealed.
"Is that all?" Percy asked. No one said anything. The four demigods went to sit back down. Mrs. Dodds started her lesson.
