Few weeks beforehand…
"Okay, guys, listen up! We, as in the teachers in this school, along few others, decided that as a city where there are so many Greek motives, we should teach, for the last few weeks of the school year, about Ancient Greece. So, for all the history lovers, we are going to study the Greek Myth more deeply than before, all the action lovers, including those who hate school, you will simply love the Greek Myth stories, I promise you! And… well, all the dyslectic students, you won't need to read, or write! All you have to do is listen!" Said our teacher, Mr. Temin, looking at me when he told us about the non reading part; So what, I am dyslectic, it's nothing to be ashamed of, besides, all of my friends are dyslectic, I mean, all the other demigods I know. Greek Myth, I want to see how many things they got the wrong way. As the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, I have to take the Greek Myth seriously, or I might end up at Medusa's lair, no, that's can't happen just yet, I cut her head off, she's dead at least for the next year or so. He said something about the other schools at NYC, wonder if Annabeth is studying the Greek Myth too. I will ask her later…
"Mr. Jackson, are you with us or you traveled to La-La-Land for a bit?" asked Mr. Temin.
"No, Mr. Temin, I'm all here…" I said, gods, sometimes he's more annoying than Mr. D (Dionysus).
"Then what was I just saying?" He asked, you were saying how you wish for a date with Ms. Bentest…
"You said we are going to study about the Greek Myth stories for the next few weeks…" I said, smiling innocently at him. He didn't look happy when I told him the right thing. I think the teachers around here are looking for something that could make the principal throw me out of school; Am I really that bad?
"Alright students, we'll start with the Olympian Gods, Who knows all the names of the main twelve gods? All the names and the right names…" asked Mr. Temin, no one raised his hand to answer the question so I did so myself.
"Mr. Jackson?" asked Mr. Temin, not believing that I am the only one who knows the answer, I mean everyone should know the names, it's the easy part!
"Only Mr. Jackson knows?" he asked again, I feel really underappreciated here! It's like meeting Lord Zeus all over again…
"Well, Mr. Jackson, since no one else knows the answer, do tell us what you know…" said Mr. Temin with a smug look. Smug are we, Mr. Temin, I know things about the Greek Myth that you would never imagine. And you have nothing to be smug about, Mister.
"Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Ares, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes, Athena and Hestia, though she, Hestia gave up her sit in the Olympian Council to Dionysus later on." I said, Mr. Temin looked surprised; what, didn't you know, must dyslectics are the ones that know the best about the Greek Myth, and we live it on our flesh.
"Nice, Mr. Jackson, I have another question for you, a little harder," If you are going to ask about the three virgin goddesses…
"Who are the three Virgin Goddesses?" You've got to be kidding me!
"Artemis…" he looks like he's as happy as he ever was, don't worry Mister, I gotten a lecture about them, from Athena's daughter, I've learned it all.
"Athena," He looks a little less smug then before, let's make him sad!
"Hestia." I said lastly, he doesn't looks so good, well, at least I showed him who's the boss when it comes to the Greek Myth, and it's all for you my half-blooded friends!
"Very well, Jackson. Very well;" Said Mr., Temin and I could see he meant it.
*MY TRIP TO ANCIENT GREECE*
I can't believe it! The Greek Myth, can't they find a subject I won't stand out in because of my knowledge? Gods, Oh dear mother Athena, couldn't they?
"Annabeth! Come on, we'll miss lunch." Said one of my friends here at this all girl's school, the one that Thalia and Rachel go to alongside with me; where are they anyway? I walked to the dining room and found them sitting at a corner table, with three trays. And they were only two; they are waving at me… They want me to sit with them.
"Can you believe it? The Greek Myth stories!" was the first thing I said when I sat down with them. They both looked at me with an amused expression on their faces.
"What?" I asked, annoyed.
"You act though you know nothing about the Greek Myth and will fail at this subject when it's sure you will know every single thing they ask and maybe you know better than they do…" said Rachel, chuckling. I don't think it's funny, and I do not act that way… Di immortales! The group of the annoying beaus is walking toward us; the annoying beaus are a group of very annoying girls around our age who think they are god's gift to Earth. Most girls at school are intimidated by them so no one's telling them off when the start bitching but us three so they really hate us, besides we know they are everything but god's gift to Earth, well that's because we are those gifts…
"Chase, Grace, Dare…" said their leader, which is totally fake, from head to toes…
"What is it now...?"Asked Rachel, she never had been patient.
"We heard you three know a lot about the Greek Myth and we don't… So we decided you three are going to help us so we will pass the test the teachers has planned to put us all through in few weeks… and you will also swear to fail on your test so no one going to know you helped us…" said the girl on the left of the leader, each of them is a bigger idiot then the other…
"What makes you think we would do it?" asked Thalia. She looked quite amused if you ask me…
"If you won't, Grace, we will get your parents' phones and tell them you've been bad girls… They won't let you go to that precious little camp-for-poor-people of yours…" said the girl on the right of the leader, the three of us laughed so hard it hurt. Our parents… While it was a really strong card in the other girls life, they really wanted to please their parents, for us this card was useless, Rachel's father really didn't care that much about her life and what she did with them and her mother is dead, Thalia's mother is dead and Lord Zeus is too busy with the world's troubles to care about the troubles his daughter is making in the mortal world, especially when she's claimed as one of Artemis' hunters, so officially she's in Artemis' responsibility. And there's me, my dad's too busy with his researches at the university and his two normal boys to check up on me and when he does he doesn't really care, and mother, well, as the goddess of wisdom and war strategies she's too busy with the war that's going on in the Middle East… So really, this card is useless in our book, but they don't know it… Thalia and Rachel probably thought the same as Thalia suddenly looked terrified.
"No! We'll help you girls! We promise! NOT!"
"What?" Hissed the leader,
"You dare say no to us!"
"Duh!" laughed Rachel.
"We will call your parents! Be aware!" said the lefty. We chuckled, well if we were Percy it would have bothered us since his mother is very close to him, but we are not Percy Jackson… Gods! Percy, how much I miss him! We live in the same city now and yet I haven't seen him for about 9 months, I talked to him and all that but not seen him face to face, only through Iris Messaging.
"Yeah…" said Thalia,
"When you get our parents phone numbers let us know, especially if you find my father's…"
"Or my mother's" I added
"Because we don't know them ourselves, and we are simply dying to know." Finished Rachel, she knows her father's number but like us she knows not the gods' phone numbers and we learned from Percy that they do have ones.
"You three will hear from us!" said the leader angrily, she has a short temper I analyzed, well, it's her problem…
"We are sure of that." I told them.
"And you will be expelled from school!" Said righty, if it happens I am sure our god-parent will speak the principal out of it. And if they won't manage it, which I highly doubt, we might join Percy at Goode high school… It will be nice to go to the same school as Percy, now that we are dating…
"Annabeth… SNAP OUT OF IT!" said Thalia, she must have guessed what I'm thinking about.
