Annabeth's POV

Percy and I were zooming down the hallway. If there were teachers who told us to slow down, I didn't see or here them. As we entered the Greek classroom, we were smiling like idiots. Chiron looked up, saw that it was us, and smiled. "Percy, Annabeth, its good to see you two." "Its good to see you too, Mr. Brunner," Percy said with a smile on his face. Chiron smiled and said, "Ah Percy, I haven't been called that since you were twelve. It brings back memories. Both good and bad I might say."

"What are you doing here?" asked Percy. "I," Chiron said with a smile, "am here to teach you about Ancient Greece and the Ancient Roman Empire. And to keep you two and your other friends safe once they transfer here later in the year, if they don't find their current schools acceptable after a while. Though, I have a feeling all of them will want to transfer here as quickly as possible." Percy and I smiled at each other. It would be nice to have our other friends here at Goode with us.

The three of us continued talking while the rest of the class trickled in. Chiron told everyone to take their seats. When Percy and I turned around though, there was only two seats left that were apart from each other. One was by Kimberly, who was batting her mascara caked eyelashes at Percy, who was awkwardly trying to look away. The other seat was by that jock that I had run onto earlier. Again, all he was doing was checking me out. Percy saw this and put his arm around me protectively. Though the jock saw this, I think his name was Tommy something-or-other, he just kept checking me out.

Chiron saw our predicament. "Ah, Miss_?" ,Chiron asked Kimberly. " Johnson, sir," Kimberly answered sweetly with a small smile on her face, trying to get on the new teacher's good side. "Yes, Miss Johnson," he said,"would you mind moving back to that seat next to that young man?" Kimberly's face fell, but she moved anyway, glaring at me the whole time she walked back to sit next to the jock.

Percy and I sat in our seats with smiles on our faces. "All right class," Chiron said towards the students in the class room," I am Mr. Brunner and this year we will be learning about Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. We will learn about the history, the culture, the myths and religions. We will learn about how each culture effected the other and how, we today, are still effected by these two great peoples. We also will be learning about the two civilizations fighting styles.

At this Chiron looked at us with a twinkle in his ancient eyes. "We will actually learn how to fight like the Ancient Greeks and Romans," he said. At this many of the people in the rooms' eyes light up and they started to pay more attention. "We will learn how to use a sword, knife, shield, etc. You will also learn how to run foot races like the Ancient Greeks, how to organize troops like the Romans, and above all we will learn how important the gods and goddesses they worshiped were to their everyday life," he explained.

"Now since I know that the majority of you are excited by the prospect of learning to fight with swords, we will head to the gym for a demonstration by a couple of the people who will be teaching you this year. We will be starting with the Ancient Greek style of fighting," he said as everyone started to get up to head to the gym.

"Now, in an orderly fashion, proceed to the gymnasium," he said,"our demonstrators are very eager to show you what they know." He looked at as while smiling. He had asked Percy and I to be the demonstrators when we were talking before class started. We all headed to the gym, though not in an orderly fashion as asked.

Percy's POV

As we entered the gym, I found myself uncomfortably close to Kimberly with her trying to get closer to me. I spotted Annabeth and bolted towards her. I put my arm around her and felt instantly better. As we entered the gym, Annabeth and I stood towards the front of the group. There was a rack with swords, shields, and other miscellaneous weapons, dulled of course, was set up next to Chiron's wheelchair. When everyone was in the room and paying attention, Chiron began to speak.

"Our two demonstrators today," he said, "have learned these skills at a summer camp that I also work at. They have been learning these skills for years, so what you see today, I don't expect you to attempt for a very long time. Percy, Annabeth, will you two please come forward to demonstrate?" Everyone turned to look at us with eyes open and mouthes gapping. It was actually quite funny. I had a small smile on my face because of their reactions as Annabeth and I walked up to stand next to Chiron hand in hand.

"Can we use our real weapons?" I asked Chiron in Ancient Greek so the class wouldn't understand. This just made their eyes bug out more. No one at this school knew that I could speak Ancient Greek. They seemed even more astonished when both he and Annabeth replied to me in the same language. "You are such a Seaweed Brain, you know that?" Annabeth said while Chiron said," Yes Percy, but don't make it obvious please."

Annabeth and I went to the back of the rack and she unlocked a small compartment at the back that had her sword that Chiron had brought from Camp Half-Blood, along with the dulled swords that we used for training the 8 and unders. I took Riptide out of my pocket and uncapped it in the compartment so it looked like I had taken the sword from the compartment itself.

"Now," Chiron said when we had come back around and stopped next to him," these swords aren't dulled like the ones you will be learning with. This is because they have trained for years and have the ability to wield non dulled blades. Because on this they will be your instructors in fighting in the way of the Ancient Greeks for the majority of the year."

"If you would proceed, and please no maiming since you both don't have armor and I assume neither of you wants a shield," he said after looking at us. "Of course, you know how we get when the other is hurt," we said simultaneously. We both blushed slightly after we had spoken. Chiron looked as us kindly and said,"Yes, how could we ever forget what one of you means to the other. Now, with that happy note will you two please proceed before the period is up and your classmates can't be show your skills." At this reminder we looked toward the gaping students, blushed slightly, then moved into position.

"You're going down, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth taunted at me. "Bring it on, Wise Girl," I replied back with a smile. We both ran at each other at the same time, our sword meeting with a clash. Then we were blurs. We were dodging, parrying, thrusting, and spinning. The class stood in awe, watching us spar. Some may have thought we were fighting to the death. In reality we were actually just messing around. We were smiling like maniacs because only Chiron and ourselves knew this. I started just joking with Annabeth, partly because I wanted to throw off her concentration to make her make cause she is cute when she is mad. Also, because I knew that she knew I was doing it on purpose and this was making he laugh and I loved her laugh and to see her smile.

"Percy, stop messing with me," she finally said. "What, is Annie getting frustrated?", I teased while smiling. At this remark Chiron visible paled and Annabeth's face reddened with anger. "Perseus Jackson, you know I hate it when people call me that," she growled. I fanned terror and ran behind the other students who looked at me like I was crazy. "Percy, get your kelp filled head back here so I can kick your butt," Annabeth yelled as she ran after me. I laughed as I ran away around the other side of the group of students. Annabeth trying to outwit me as the child of Athena she is, ran back around the side she had come to cut me off. To bad for her I was expecting that.

I ran and slide under her legs that were set in a wide stance. After I was through I quickly got up, turned around, and put my sword in front of her throat while grabbing her sword arm with my other hand so she couldn't use it. "I win," I said proudly, with a smirk on my face. The class stood staring in awe, Chiron in his wheelchair beside them was smiling proudly. "Fine, you win," Annabeth grudgingly said after I released her sword arm. I could tell she was trying no to smile though, despite what she had just said.

"Now that that little demonstration is over," Chiron started,"why don't we head back to the class room to grab your things so you all aren't late to class. For class tomorrow I want you each to look up a topic relating to the myths we will later be studying. It can be anything from a specific person or place to an extensive event." With that Annabeth and I laced our fingers together and headed to get our things for our next class, the other students whispering as they followed slowly behind.

Yay fight scene. I love how I had Percy just start to mess around and have thought of putting flashbacks in next chapters maybe, probably. Love y'all. Bye :) :) :) :)
