Chapter Six

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.

Percy's POV

I woke up to see Annabeth looking down at me, smiling. "Hey Wise Girl, what's up?" I asked.

She rolled her eyes at me, "Percy, We're going to be late for school if you don't get up."

"Fine," I said, "Do I get a good morning kiss?"

"Not until you brush your teeth," she says, but she kissed my cheek anyways.

After my shower I got dressed in a green shirt, a gray hoodie, some jeans, and blue shoes. The rest of our friends were all in the dining room eating some breakfast. "Took ya long enough Perce," said Thalia.

"Sorry, over slept," I replied as I filled my plate with pancakes.

"Over slept by thirty minutes, might have to cut your breakfast short."

"Too late!" I dug right into the pancakes. They were absolutely delicious.

Later that day, During Lunch

We all were sitting at our table joking around. Leo was trying to get everyone to laugh at a joke, while Travis and Conner were showing the results of their latest prank on an unsuspecting student's locker.

"No way!" Eric laughed, "You did that to Bret's locker?"

"Yep figuring out his combo was easy and the rest was the same!" laughed Conner.

"You guys should be careful, the guys you prank are pretty tough!"Katie scolded the boys.

"Nah Bret's not tough, he's strong, but he don't fight," Eric calmly said. As he said that, something behind my back caught his eye, and he cursed under his breath. "Not her again..."

"Well looks like you all are having a good time," Skylar said.

"Were. We were having a good time, then you made your way over here," Annabeth said.

"Why don't you go back to your camp and play tough girl?"

"Mainly because she doesn't have to pretend to be one..." a few people mumbled.

"Why don't I re-introduce you to your best friend, Mr. Garbage Can?" Eric said standing out of his seat.

"Don't even try it bat boy," she glared. Just then I noticed her gang of friends behind her. It consisted of a few guys from the football team, including Castor.

"You think I'm scared of your little posse?" Eric said, "They aren't much and this one-" he pointed a finger at Castor "- only needs one more warning to get suspended."

"Alright I've had enough of this!" I say. "Skylar I'm going to be nice, just this once, please go back to your table and never bother us again."

"I'll go if you escort me," she smiled.

I don't know what exactly was said, but just then Eric, Noah, Leo, and the Stolls got up and walked away to who knows where. I didn't have time to think about it because at Skylar's comment, Annabeth jumped out of her seat and lunged at her. Lucky for Skylar, I grabbed her by the waist and tried to calm her down.

"Annabeth calm down let me handle this," I pleaded then kissed her to help.

"Alright, but I recommend doing something before Leo and them get back," she said.

"What do they have planned?" I questioned. They must have some up with something during a class together.

"Just get her out of here," she said as she sat down. My other friends were just watching carefully, trying not to get into it. They knew this was my fight, but I could tell that if things got out of hand, they would not hesitate to jump in.

"Well Percy? Are you going to do what I asked?" Skylar said with a smirk, she had me right where she wanted me.

"Um... well... I don't want to escort you," I said. I didn't see it, but I could tell Thalia and Nico face-palmed at that comment.

"Oh really? Well maybe Castor or Kalhid (pronounced: Cal-id) could change your mind?"

Both of those two grinned at me, Castor pretended to strangle me. That got me angry, I hated that these two were going along with her. Especially since they have a history of being bullies. Before I could do anything, Travis's voice went through the entire cafeteria.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of Goode High's cafeteria. May I present to you a presentation that I know you all will LOVE." he exclaimed into a megaphone.

"What's going on?" a confused looking Skylar asked. "Wait? Those are some of Percy's friends!"

"This can't be good..." Kalhid mumbled as their group started making their way towards my friends.

The Stolls, Eric, Leo, and Noah were all standing under a presentation board. Leo was near a projector pointed at the board, with Eric at his side. "Here we have a lovely presentation of the girl you all know and love, Skylar Laretta" Leo exclaimed.

"What is he doing?" Piper hissed. We all shrugged our shoulders. I don't think Annabeth knew what was going to happen, exactly, but I think she thought something was up with the five of them leaving at once.

"Let's start shall we? First we have a picture of Skylar when she was in first grade, she played the farmer's cow in the play!" Travis and Conner announced.

"Next,"said Leo who had his own megaphone, "We have a picture of her in the fourth grade during her yearbook picture! Notice the black hair, now look at Skylar and look at her blonde DYED hair!"

They went on to show about four more pictures, each more embarrassing than the last. This took about five minutes, and Skylar looked like she might explode. As soon as the "presentation" was over the entire cafeteria burs our laughing , while Skyler marched strait towards Leo.

"WHAT- HOW- DID YOU GET THOSE!" she screamed.

"Um... internet?" Leo said, though it sounded like a question.

"YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT!"

"Oh please,it's not like you haven't done something equal of worse to some of the people here!" Eric said.

"WELL MAYBE I SHOULD TELL THEM A FEW THINGS ABOUT YOU!" she screamed.

Eric just shrugged, "Go ahead, I know you don't have any dirt on me."

"Well, I know something about you that no one else knows," Skylar said mockingly. "Now everyone," she grabbed a microphone from Leo, "Please turn your attention to our lovely baseball star Eric, he thinks that I don't know a secret of his, but he is wrong!"

At this point a few of my friends got up out of their seats. Piper looked like she was about to run a dagger through Skylar, same as Annabeth. Jason and Frank were scowling at her. Nico and Thalia gave her death glares. "Don't do anything,"I said. "Eric can handle himself just fine."

"You sure?" Annabeth said then saw my look. "Yeah you're sure."

"Now Eric here may fool all of you into thinking he is all tough and strong, but in reality he is nothing but a mentally disturbed mama's boy! He never knew his dad, and he has a severe case of ADHD! Once I caught him crying because his father left him with his mom who later died from drug overdose! He's nothing but a scared little kid with mental issues!"

"That's nothing to be ashamed of!" I screamed as I marched up toward Skylar. "Eric is one of the toughest guys I've ever seen."

"Percy, step back," Eric says. A look of absolute hatred on his face. "I can handle this, I figured you'd try something like that so I came up with a gift for you, Skylar."

"I don't want-" she was cut off by Eric grabbing her by the legs and slinging her over his shoulder like a potato sack. "What are you DOING! Drop me this INSTANT!"

"Okay if you insist," he says calmly as he drops her right into a trash can, yet again, but this time he didn't settle for just that. He picked up the trash can and carried it to her "posse" and proceeded to dump the garbage on all of them. When I said garbage I also meant Skylar.

"YOUR DEAD ERIC! YOU HEAR ME!" Skylar screams as Eric turns and walks back to our table.

"Mr. Colturi, get yourself into my office immediately!" the principal, Mr. Rodgers, said sternly. They weren't even making Skylar go.

"See ya later guys," Eric huffed as he went to walk with the principal.

"What do you think will happen?" Annabeth asked me. I shrugged.

"Don't know, considering Eric did the same thing two years ago, probably something bad," I said.

"That's not fair it was that Skylar girls fault!" Piper said.

"I know, but let's not worry about that. Let's just go back to being normal," I said.

Annabeth kissed me on the cheek. "I hope none of us get in trouble, what Eric did probably saved Leo, Noah, and the Stolls from getting in touble," she said glaring at the group of boys.

"We'll thank him next time we see 'em," Noah assured us.

"Good. Now what are you guys wanting to do together tonight?" Annabeth asked.

"Don't know, maybe go to a movie get some pizza?" Jason and I suggested.

"Aww they are thinking alike," Thalia teased, "They really are cousins."

"Shut up," we both said.

"Whatever you guys are planning will have to be without Eric and I," Halle said with tears in her eyes. I couldn't tell why she wass crying, but I knew Eric was in for it when he got home.

"Alright well we should plan on meeting in the parking lot after school then we can go to the condo for a little," I suggested.

"Alright sounds like a plan!" Jason and Piper said.

"Wow, Percy has a plan? Has the world gone mad!" Thalia joked. That got a whole round of laughter from everyone except Halle. Annabeth then kissed me on the cheek to help ease some of the embarrassment I felt.

"Alright until then!" I said.
