A/N: Hope you like the new updates!
Kace's POV
I was surprised that Amanda was the one to suggest that we go back to school, but it was a good thing because if we weren't, we were REALLY going to get it from Chiron.
At school, I was walking to Geometry. We sit right next to each other, although sometimes the teacher suspects passing of notes (which does happen once in a blue moon). I plumped down my stuff and looked to see who else had arrived. No surprise; we were early. I started to fiddle with my pencil. Abigail, Annabeth, and Percy walked in next and they plopped somewhere behind me. I was about to ask Jay about his elective when I realized who had walked in. "Well, look who the cat dragged in," Katelyn said, cheerfully. She walked right next to me and sat in the available seat next to me. I sighed, this was going to be a long school year.
"A true-false statement is any sentence that is either true or false but not both. A negation of a statement has the opposite meaning of a truth value. A negation is written as ~p. If we call the statement: cucumbers are green, p then: p: cucumbers are green - this statement is true. ~p: cucumbers are not green - this statement is false. If we join two statements we can form a compound statement or a conjunction. A conjunction could contain the two statements q and p: p: cucumbers are green. q: cucumbers are vegetables." said our teacher, Miss Elise. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Abigail had her computer up and she was typing furiously. Probably continuing Truth or Lie. As I was about to die of boredom, the bell rang. "Alright, everyone! Don't forget the school dance is on Thursday!" Miss. Elise said as we left the room. A school dance? I thought. I am not one for school dances. However, would Abigail want to go…? Meh. I would find out.
I heard Leo said, "Hey man. You didn't tell us your dad is our teacher!" Percy replied. "He's my stepfather, and he was the one who got all of us in the school." "Anyway, let's get to English before we get detention for being late," Jason said. Murmurs of agreement and we were off. Why were we always the first ones there?! We walked in and saw Mr. Blofis sitting at his teacher desk. "Hi, Perc- OH MY GOD, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DEMIGODS IN MY CLASSROOM?!" Mr. Blofis exclaimed. I gaped. "Wh- How- he- WHAT?!" I sputtered. Abigail looked at me and sighed. "Kace, I'm pretty sure he already knows we're demigods from all the CHB and CJ T-Shirts." "Oh… that makes sense." "Um, hi Paul. So these are the new demigods, and I'm pretty sure you already know Abigail Desario, Kace Sawyer, Raymond Lee, Amanda Tanner, and Jameson Tanner." Annabeth said. Mr. Blofis leaned back. "Well, that makes about twenty demigods in one class of thirty. Lovely…"
Since there weren't any more introductions to be made, we just sat down and started chatting. Well, everyone EXCEPT Abigail and Annabeth because those two just brought out books, thick books I might add, and started reading. Soon, the bell rang and Mr. Blofis stood up. "Alright, guys! Settle down. Considering the fact that we have so many new students, that you may or may not know, we will be starting a new classic. Some of you may have heard of it. It's called The Odyssey by Homer. I have copies on the desk next to Katelyn, so everyone go grab a copy." he said. I started to panic. DOES MR. BLOFIS NOT REALIZE THAT ALMOST THE ENTIRE OF HIS CLASS IS DYSLEXIC?! Mr. Blofis paused. "For those of you who like a challenge, I have copies of The Odyssey in Ancient Greek and Latin." He grinned and winked at us. We all breathed. "Ok, so let's begin…" Mr. Blofis said.
Needless to say, we understood everything. Katelyn was pissed at how everyone (besides Percy and me) understood everything better than she did. The second we left the room, Katelyn exclaimed, "How did you stupid people understand anything?!" She turned to Percy and I. "Oh, I didn't mean you two. You both are clearly smart enough for this school." I heard a snort of laughter. Annabeth and Abigail weren't looking at us, but it was clear they were both close to dying of laughter. Everyone was smirking, even Amanda and Ray, who don't even smile that much. Katelyn looked offended and she opened her mouth to say something, but the bell rang and we all rushed off to History.
Raymond's POV
As we walked out of school, I looked at my notes. I had pretty good handwriting if I do say so myself! But there was a lot more on my mind. I needed to go home, do my homework, practice my fighting skills, get criticized for how bad I was… etcetera, etcetera. I had a fun day ahead of me. I would probably skip battle training and just read instead. How seriously fun. More fun than getting lectured on sword fighting, I thought.
"So are you guys going to try out for any sports?" asked Annabeth. "I'm going to do volleyball," said Abigail automatically. "Same here," said Annabeth. "I signed up for soccer," said Amanda. "Swimming for me!" Percy said, excitedly. "I'm not doing anything," I said. I didn't really want to… I wasn't that into sports. "Same" replied Jay. "I won't be here tomorrow for battle training and hang out… I'm going to volleyball practice," said Annabeth. "Soccer tryouts are on Wednesday for me, so I have two days. However, I won't be with y'all anyway tomorrow because I am going to the library." I looked at her, confused. "Um, isn't that only, like, a ten-minute trip?" I asked. She probably rolled her eyes underneath those sunglasses. "Um, I'm a writer, so I am doing some research and probably a bit of typing there. Just so you know."
We walked into the house and I went up to my room. I did the last bit of unpacking. I started on my homework. It wasn't too bad if you took notes and listened to the teacher. When I finished my work, I didn't want to go to weapons training, but I figured I would. I needed work on my sword techniques.
I went down, grabbed a sword, and started to practice on a dummy. I have to tell you, it was boring. I literally just fought a harmless, unarmed dummy that could do nothing but become decapitated. I started to be sorry for it. Seriously? I thought. Feeling sorry for an inanimate object? Pathetic. I walked over to the knife throwing section. I threw a knife and it went flying past the dummy. I sighed. "You need to flick your wrist a little bit more," said a voice behind me. I turned and saw Abigail standing there. I tried her advice and managed to hit the dummy. I turned around to say thank you, but she was gone. That's weird, I thought.
