Okay, back to normal. If you want to know what is back to normal, it isn't the updates, sorry. It's the POV order. Poseidon first, then Annabeth. Of course, next chapter onward it will be in Third Person POV. Adios! Enjoy!
Poseidon POV
I, along with my two brothers and niece, shadow-traveled our respective kids to the spot we chose. The moment we let go of the kids, they whirled around to confront us. But seeing our faces, they seemed to recognize us as someone they had seen some time back, but couldn't quite put their fingers on it.
Annabeth figured it out first.
'Mom?' She asked Athena, who beamed at her. The moment Annabeth said this, the other kids connected the dots.
'Dad?' All the three Big Three kids exclaimed at once. My brothers and I smiled and nodded at them.
'How do you think we can trust you?' Percy, the first one to protect his family, stepped forward to glare at us. As I had told my brothers and niece about asking permission from Mother to let us make the kids believe them (even though Athena, Hades and I looked exactly like our kids, minus Athena's brown hair), we smiled at each other, and willed our true forms to take place. As we grew in size, the kids' eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets. The giant size only lasted for a moment though; we turned back into our teenage selves.
All the kids had priceless expressions on their faces. I couldn't help it, I burst into laughter. The other gods joined me. The kids got affronted looks on their faces, and they took their jaws off the ground to talk to us.
'Dad, Athena, Zeus and Hades, what are you doing here? Are the other gods here? Are you –' Percy began, but was cut off by Athena.
'We aren't what you called us. I'm Hermione, the one you called 'Dad' is Harry, 'Zeus' is Victor and 'Hades' is Adam,' Athena said haughtily.
'Um, anyways, we have to go, classes are starting, and we have Homeroom next!' I cut in hastily as the bell rang.
'I'll take you the quick way,' Hades said, grabbing our elbows and gesturing Nico to do the same. They both quickly made us drop through the ground and sideways from behind the lockers. Thank us that our lockers were side by side!
Annabeth POV
I gaped as I removed my books for the next three periods from my locker and put them in the small bag I had kept in the locker (Thalia and I had kept our books in our lockers in when we got our schedules). I couldn't believe that my mother was studying in school with me. How weird is that? And all the gods, including Percy's dad, are studying with us. It was too bizarre.
After putting the books for Homeroom (not that we do anything much; we just sat and chat around, or in Percy's case, finish the incomplete homework), English and Greek in my bag, I slung it on my shoulder and grasped Percy's hand as he walked toward me.
'Which room is your Homeroom in?' He asked as we walked, following our parents and the other two lovebirds. I pulled out my schedule and said, 'Room 4. You?'
He grinned and said, 'Me too! Hey, guys, what's your Homeroom number?'
Thalia said, 'Same as Annabeth,' Nico said, 'Same as Percy,' and the gods all chorused, 'Room 4.'
'Well, that clears it,' I commented, amused. 'We have the same Homeroom. And Thalia, Percy, Nico and I have the same schedules (Percy's and mine matched, and he told me that Nico also had the same one, and I told him that Thalia and I did too). What about you, gods?'
'We have the same schedules,' Poseidon said, then proceeded to tell us his schedule. We demigods were surprised because we had the same as them. Well, that made things simpler.
Then Mom piped up. 'The other gods and I, and apparently you, share Homeroom, Lunch, Study Hall, Elective and PE. So we'll be seeing each other in the Homeroom.'
Just then, the warning bell rang, and we had to hurry through the thinned crowd to get to our Homeroom on time. When we were outside the classroom, Mom pulled us demigods aside to tell something to us.
'Remember, use our incognito names instead of our actual ones. If you slip, say that we remind you of the Olympian gods, no one will say anything, but if they do, tell them you kept the nickname on the spur of the moment.' Wow, Mom talks fast.
When the final bell rang, we entered the room, and Stella walked over to us (AN – Do you think I'm going to forget myself and my besties?).
'Hey Percy!' She said, then turned to the rest of us. She nodded, and turned back to Percy.
'So, I heard from Tiffany that you have a girlfriend,' She said, smiling mischievously. I was relieved to find that at least one girl here didn't hit on my boyfriend.
'Who's the girl who was stupid enough to date you?' She grinned. Percy made a shout of protest, while we demigods grinned. I raised my hand in mock-meekness and said, 'Guilty as charged.'
She grinned at me, and said, 'Well, you don't look stupid, so I'll excuse you. Anyways, hi Hermione,I heard from all the rest of the group, and they told me you, Lily and Luna aren't big on dating. I'm not either! Ashley and Christina are not very big when it comes to dating as compared to other friends of mine. They are only crushing on a couple of guys, Jake and Ethan.'
Mom didn't look too happy to be talked to like this, but she seemed to take a special liking to Stella just because she said that she wasn't big on dating. The two of them walked away to talk to the other goddesses, whom Stella, Ashley and Christina seemed to have become good friends with.
Thalia leaned over to me and whispered, 'Well, I guess I won't have to find a new lieutenant for Artemis, she can find one on her own.'
When the teacher for Homeroom came, we had roll call to choose our electives. There were three: Drawing, Drama and Photography. Here, unlike our usual schools, we could choose more than one. Of course, I chose Drawing and Drama. Percy chose Drama and Photography. All the gods chose all three. Stella chose Drawing and Drama, while Ashley and Christina chose Drama and Photography. It seemed their crushes had, Jake and Ethan, had taken the same. Thalia chose the same as me, while Nico chose the same as Percy.
Just when we finished choosing our Electives (I couldn't care less about Tiffany's), the bell rang, and we (Demigods and our particular parents) headed out for English, and the other gods headed out for Greek. Stella, Ashley and Christina had the same schedules as us demigods and our parents too, so we all went to English with Mr. Blofis in Room 10, me earning glares from loads of girls because Percy's hand rested on my waist. Oh well, you can't have everything you want. I grinned to myself.
Aaand, done! I couldn't just not mention at least one class in Annabeth's POV, and plus, next chapter onwards it will be in Third Person's POV. If you want anyone else's POV, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW OR PM ME. And if you've had the patience to read my ramble till here, please type the following in your review or PM – "HIGH SCHOOL WITH GODS! WHAT?"
Yours truly,
Stella
