"Thalia Grace" wait what last I checked Thalia was a hunter what was she doing here. "Thalia Grace" the teacher repeated.
"Here Miss sorry I'm late I'm new and don't know my way around" a girl said. Sure enough it was Thalia at my school, her black hair was spiked up and she was wearing skinny jeans and her death to Barbie t-shirt.
"That's alright dear everyone gets lost on their first day so why don't you go sit next to Percy" at my name Thalia's electric blue eyes lit up and she spotted at the back. "He's the one with black hair sitting at the back."
"Ok, thank you Miss" Thalia said sweetly, gods I didn't know Thalia could be sweet, than headed over and sat down in the seat next to me. She turned to look at me with a grin on her face and said "So Seaweed Brain bet you're surprised to see me." Then she looked at me properly and her smile faded and face creased with worry.
Chapter 2
"Gods Percy you look awful" Thalia said worry hinted in her voice.
"Wow Thals nice to see you too" I said my voice oozing sarcasm.
"I'm not joking kelp head, have you looked in a mirror today, I mean your hairs messier then usual, you have bags under your eyes and are really really pale, which is super unusual since you have naturally tan skin" I was surprised I didn't think I looked that bad and Thalia generally seemed worried. I thought about my dream last night and figured I should probably tell her.
"Listen pinecone face I feel fine and before you start the I know better thing I need to tell you something I had a rather unsettleing dream last night" That caught her attention.
"A dream wait a" she leaned in close and whispered "demigod dream.
I nodded and told her about it when I finished her mouth was hanging open and her eyes wide with shock.
"Wait so the titans want revenge on us for defeating Kronos" Thalia whispered her voice panicky.
"Yup" I replied.
"This is not good"
"Really Thals I thought this was amazing" I said and you could practically see the sarcasm oozing off my voice.
"Percy this is not the time to be making jokes we have to tell Nico"
"Nico" I asked.
"Yea did I forget to mention that he's going to school here too" Thalia said.
"Well considering you haven't even told me why you are here"
"Oh quit your moaning, I'm here because Lady Artemis temporarily disbanded the hunters so Chiron thought it might be a good idea for me to go to school, and Nico wanted to come along for the ride."
"Meaning you forcibly dragged him here and forced him to enrol"
"Maybe"
"Your evil"
"C'mon I know your slow Perce but it's seriously taken you 3 years to figure that out"
"No I realised it the moment I met you after you felt out of your tree"
"Ha ha but anyways what lessons do you have" she said taking my timetable and comparing it to her own. "Awesome" she exclaimed "We have exactly the same classes"
For the rest of homeroom we talked about random stuff and Thalia explained that Lady Artemis needed some time to re group and find new hunters so she gave the hunters some time off. We were so busy talking that we barely noticed the bell go for first lesson.
Thalia and I headed to first period which was science and we took seats on the back bench. The teach Mrs White took the register and explained the experiment that we would be doing. I was trying to pay attention when suddenly I started to feel really warm. I started to sweat and looked over at Thalia to see if she felt the same way, but no she looked totally normal.
Thalia noticed me staring at her and I said "Is it just me or is it getting really hot in here" my voice was strained and I wiped sweat off my brow.
"No it's just you, are you sure you're alright" Thalia asked worry creased in her voice and face.
"Yes I'm fine" I lied and Thalia knew it too. She shot me a glare that said I know better then looked back to whatever the teacher was saying.
"Yeah sure" she said as the teacher told us to get the equipment needed for the experiment from the side benches. "You stay here I'll get the stuff" Thalia got up and quickly grabbed the stuff and started the experiment, which was good because my mine had gone all fuzzy and I couldn't concentrate. Thalia did the experiment pretty much by herself and kept shooting me worried glances. I didn't realise that Thalia had been trying to get my attention until she snapped her fingers in front of my face. "Earth to Seaweed brain" she was saying.
That shook me out of my daze and I looked over at her and smiled sheepishly "Sorry Thals didn't here you, what do you need".
"I was asking if you could go get another beaker of water for the experiment."
"Oh yea sure" I said starting to get up but Thalia stopped me.
"Are you sure you're alright Percy because you really don't look it"
"Yes Thals I feel good enough to take on a whole horde of hellhounds" I smiled at the end to help prove my point and Thalia laughed.
"Seriously Percy don't you know names have power" she laughed but still didn't believe me.
"You know you're starting to sound like Annabeth"
"Gasp I don't go around sprouting random architecture facts every 5 minutes"
"I suppose I better go get that water" I said laughing and so was Thalia, while our teacher was shooting us annoyed glances, not that I cared. I got up and everything went wrong. That nauseating feeling came back suddenly and my stomach felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly. I felt as though someone had just cranked the temperature up by about 100 degrees. I felt sweat start to pour down my face. My knees bucked and I would've been eating the classroom floor if Thalia hadn't grabbed my arm and supported weight. My head was spinning and everything seemed fuzzy like a TV with bad reception. I vaguely remember the teacher scuttling over and Thalia shouting my name several times before everything faded into darkness.
