Chapter 5
Disiclamer I do not own any of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books or any of the Heroes of Olympus books. All rights go to author Rick Riordan. This story is meant to be for fun and the enjoyment of the readers.
Castor's POV
To say I learned my lesson is an understatement. The day after all those new kids came to school I decided to make my move. Percy Jackson is just a random nobody, yet every girl thinks he is some god. One girl in particular is annoying, my girlfriend Skylar. She is obsessed with him and his friends. So I decided to show her that I'm better than him and all his friends.
I walked up to this kid that looked really emo. He was short and very scrawny. Maybe a freshmen? Whatever he was, he should have been an easy target.
"Hey emo kid!" I yell as I try to get his attention.
He turns and says, "What do you want?"
"I want whatever you got in that bag of yours," I say easily.
"How about no?" He says. What's with this kid? Normally when I do this they immediately had over what I want.
"What'd you say to me?" I ask. "You got some nerve saying that to me. Do you know who I am?"
"No," He says matter of fact, "And frankly I don't care who you are I just wanna eat my lunch."
"Well," I say as I grab his shirt collar. "I'm captain of the football team, Castor Butcher. And I want your lunch."
"And like I said before, I am not gonna give it to you," He says. How is he not afraid.
"Well maybe I should introduce you to the trash can," I say as I dump him into the trash.
"Mister Butcher," says a voice from behind me. "My. Office. NOW!" says the vice principal Mrs. Jones.
She told me that this was my first warning out of three. If I get my second I get a detention, a third will result in a suspension. Those threats did not even faze me. The very next day I picked another target from Percy's little group.
It was a short Hispanic kid. He looked like a elf. As soon as I walked up to him he looked up at me with a mischievous grin. "Hey your that guy that got in trouble for hurting Nico," he laughed.
"What'd you say to me punk?" I ask.
"I said," He said standing up making a big deal of the situation, "Your the guy that got a warning for picking a fight with Nico. Too bad the principal caught you before Nico could do anything. He probably would've beat you up."
That got a laugh out of a lot of the cafeteria and his friends. "That's it you little jokester," I exclaim, "You wanna have a go at me? Well go ahead take your best shot!"
That's when it happened. I couldn't even comprehend what happened, it all went by so fast. The little Hispanic elf grabbed both my arms and put them behind my back. He then proceeded to put me in some kind of handcuffs, then kick my feet so I would fall.
I ended up lying face first on the ground with my butt sticking up. When I looked up, I saw that that kid was laughing with him and Percy's friends. That made me very angry and I tried to get out of the cuffs, but they wouldn't budge.
"Mr. Butcher and Mr. Valdez," said the vice principal. "My office now! And Mr. Valdez, please remove those handcuffs from Mr. Butchers hands."
"Mrs. Jones, it wasn't Leo's fault. Castor was the one that started it!" Percy said.
"Yeah Leo did it out of self-defense," said two of his friends. The blonde dude who had his arm around the girl with choppy hair said. Both sounded like they actually cared about that kid, Leo.
"I know what happened," Mrs. Jones snapped. "I walked in right as it started and I am going to solve the issue. Now Mr. Valdez, Mr. Butcher, my office NOW!"
Leo's POV
"Mr. Valdez you will be given a warning, please try to refrain from handcuffing our football captain. Mr. Butcher you have 2 hours detention after school today, one more warning and you will be suspended." the vice principal, Mrs. Jones said.
"Yes ma'am," we both said.
When I got back to the lunch room,, all my friends wanted to hear what happened. I told them that I got a warning, mainly because I handcuffed him. Mrs. Jones said it "threatened his safety".
"That's not fair, but I guess she has a point," Annabeth said.
"Meh I really don't care," I replied.
Ding Ding Ding Ding
"Well gotta get to class, see ya after school guys," I said. The only person I have classes with is Danny, Sofia, and Nico. Not a lot in common between the four of us, so we just go about are own business.
The Next Day...
Percy's POV
"You guys ready to meet Mr. Floyd?" I question. Mr. Floyd has been absent for the first week so we had to deal with a substitute.
"Yeah I think this class will be interesting," Piper said, "I mean you did say this class was fun."
We walked in only to be greeted by Skylar and Castor sitting in the front two seats. They were chatting among themselves. Both of them glared at our group with a look of absolute hatred. Castor was looking at Nico and Leo specifically.
"Alright listen up!" Mr. Floyd said as he walked in. He closed the door behind him and held up a packet of papers. "Y'all have a test today. Don't worry, it's just to test your knowledge of the Greek language and culture."
I looked at my friends and grinned. This stuff is basically our life, so we should all get A's. It took us about ten minutes to finish our tests and hand them to Mr. Floyd.
"Well how 'bout that," he said, "You guys either studied really hard or you just know this stuff."
"We just studied the material the substitute gave us and we did it as a group," Annabeth said.
It took him the amount of time to finish grading our tests as it took the other kids to finish theirs. Turns out that our group all got 100's and most other students got below a B and most got F's. "Looks like I have some star students this year!" Mr. Floyd said, "I've never had a student get a 100 on my tests, let alone the first one of the year."
"Thank you, sir," I replied grinning at my friends.
"Percy, why are you grinning like that?" Mr. Floyd questioned.
"Just thinking how easy this class will be," I replied.
"Well if it's so easy why don't you and one of you friends some up here and do a little demonstration," he challenged.
"Okay," I say as I motion to Annabeth to come up with me. "What do you want us to say?"
"Just have a regular conversation," he says.
"Τι κάνετε Θέλουμε να μιλήσουμε για?" I ask Annabeth. What do you wanna talk about?
"Δεν ξέρω , αλλά οι άλλοι ίσως δεν μπορούν να μας καταλάβουν," she replies. I don't know but they can't understand us anyways.
"Ας μιλήσουμε για το στρατόπεδο αφού κανείς δεν μπορεί να καταλάβει," I say. Let's talk about camp since they don't understand.
"εντάξει αρέσει το πώς κάνουμε την ξιφασκία και τοξοβολία," shey says. Okay, like how we do sword fighting and archery.
"Και το γεγονός ότι είμαστε ΜΙΣΟ ΤΟΥ ΘΕΟΥ," I say loudly. And the fact that we are HALF GOD.
"Alright I think you amazed everyone enough for one day. Looks like I'll have some star pupils," Mr. Floyd says smiling.
Ding Ding Ding Ding
"See you tomorrow class!" he calls as we leave.
