::Chapter two::
"New history teacher? What happened to Ms. Kennal. Not that I'm complaining, she was a complete-" I began when I heard another voice.
"Nikai! What did you do now?"
I turned and saw my "Favorite" person in the world. Mrs. Talbot. Our principle.
"Oh! Mrs. Talbot, just in time! Well, today I'm in here because an annoying senior boy refused to leave me alone."
She sighed, as she muttered, "Wow, first period hasn't even started and you've already got detention. That must be record!" She looked at Mr. Jackson and said, "You'll be serving detention with Mr. Jackson this afternoon."
I smiled and nodded a yes. As she looked at me with wondering eyes and asked, "Are you really planning on showing up?"
"Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies." This time I smirked and said, With that I ran out grabbing my red and black sticker-covered binder and ran to first period class. If I hurried I might be able to get to still talk with Trent and Zane. But as I entered I was bombarded with questions.
"Is it true you beat up Tony?!" I looked at them oddly.
"Who?" I asked completely clueless,
"Tony…the boy you beat up on the bus." Zane told me matter-of-factly. Normally I didn't notice things like this but the lecture in second period was extremely boring. He must be new, he looked a lot like Zane and Trent, except for he had dark brown eyes. He looked bored…wait…no…he looked asleep. I was proven correct when he practically fell out of his chair. Despite myself I laughed as his eyes met mines. They widened…he suddenly looked familiar.
His eyes stared at me, huge as if saucers. I was a bit freaked out, that's like the second time that's happened to me. First with that Percy dude, now with him…we eventually all got to history. The boy who's name I learned was Nico, had an identical schedule to me, Trent and Zane.
"Hey Percy!" I greeted the guy I'd met earlier. Trent and Zane gave me looks of confusion, "I met the guy in the principle's earlier." They nodded, as we took our seats, we'd made sure to get seats together in every class. But I was so busy talking with Trent and Zane that…
"Ms. Laskaris!" I finally snapped my head up. It was Percy.
"Oh! Hey!" I said looking up at his rather serious facial expressions.
"Would you like to tell us what titan was charged with holding up the sky and name three of his daughters?" Percy asked in a taunting voice with a smirk, surprisingly I knew this much.
"Atlas, sided with the titans during the war against the Olympians and Zeus condemned Atlas to stand at the edge of Gaea, earth, and hold up the sky. Three of his daughters, Calypso was a sea nymph but she was confined to the island of Ogygia for supporting her father during the war. Dione, and Maera." I told him recalling reading about that before. With my dyslexia, it was hard to read but reading Greek was a lot easier. Don't ask me why…
I noticed Percy's eyes oddly saddened when I spoke of Calypso. I wondered why. Oh well. After class we headed to lunch, I noticed the Nico kid sitting alone. I don't know why I was so interested by this new kid. He seemed, so, familiar.
"You want us to get detention too?" Trent asked me once he sat down with out pizza.
"You don't have to." I told them. If one of us got detention it wasn't uncommon for another, usually all, of us to get detention. What can I say? We liked to be together…school let out as I walked to Percy's room and over heard the new boy and him talking.
"You didn't tell me she was here!" Nico hissed I wondered who he was talking away.
"Honestly! I had no idea! I only saw her in the office this morning." Percy told him. ME?! I didn't know any of them before today. I walked in.
"Hey…" I greeted glumly. "So…what do you want me to do?" I asked going over the regular detention things the teachers usually made me do.
When Zane walked in, "Hey…Mr. Roode. Gave me detention." He said with a smile in my direction I retuned it.
As Percy said, "Okay…well…okay to be honest I really don't care what you do. You just have to stay here for awhile and try not to destroy anything."
I smiled. And said, "I can do that, but I make no promises on the destroying things part. I'm not the most careful person."
Percy shrugged and said, "I said, try." Nico, Zane and I all decided to play a game of Scream theme tag.
"Let's play scream theme tag." I said as Zane nodded Nico looked clueless.
"What's that?"
I thought about it and said, "It's where you run around the building screaming at the top of your lungs some random song and while you do that one of the people who's IT has to find the others. Basically it's like screaming random songs, and tagging. By the way, nice jacket and tee shirt." I told him. As we began…I was IT.
I could tell Zane was singing, "I'M A GOOFY GOOBER YEAH! YOU'RE A GOOFY GOOBER YEAH! WE'RE ALL GOOFY GOOBERS YEAH! GOOFY GOOBERS ROCK!"
Meanwhile Nico was screaming Radio By: Alkaline trio. "Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades, waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved, while you're taking your time with apologies, I'm making my plans for revenge! Red eyes on orange horizons! If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge! I'd drive straight off the edge! Taking your own life with boredom! I'm taking my own life with wine -it helps you to rule out the sorrow, it helps me to empty my mind. Making the most of a bad time. I'm smoking the brains from my head! Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red! This kettle is seeing red! I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying! I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you, Plugged in and ready to fall!"
I loved that song…I bounded up the stairs practically falling on Nico as I tagged him.
"Your it!" He smiled as I jolted up and ran screaming at the top of my lungs, "WE ARE THE LAZY GENERATION! NO MORE STANDING OUT IN LINE! SO GOOD AT WASTING OUR TIME!" Lazy generation by: The F-ups. "WE ARE THE LAZY GENERATION! WE ARE THE LAZY GENERATION!"
