From Twin Fangirls To Demigods?

Chapter 2

Hyperborean History Teacher?

Ashley's POV:

I almost fell back and cracked my head against the cafeteria floor, but—thank the gods—Percy caught my sister and me before we could suffer any head trauma.

He forced us to sit on the lunch table bench, told us to take deep breaths. Then, he turned around and began to explain to the other demigods about how we'd met. He tried to give introductions, but Selena held up her hand. "We know exactly who you guys are!"

I shot her a glance. "Way to keep a low profile," I replied under my breath.

She rolled her eyes at me. The four demigods shared this stare, as if they were all connecting with a single glance. Kind of like how my sister and I can have telepathic conversations with our eyes and hand motions—but demigodish.

Annabeth looked us over, biting her lip. Then, she asked Percy, "Um, Perce, can I talk to you for a second?"

Percy nodded and he and Annabeth walked into the gymnasium, so that their conversation couldn't be overheard by the crazy loud noise.

"And then there were four," Nico muttered.

I glanced at my sister, who was beaming. She knew what I was thinking: Percabeth moment!

Thalia tried to break the ice. "So, where in New York do you girls live?"

"Upper east side," Selena said, taking a bite out of a chicken taco.

Nico nodded. "That's where we're staying, at Percy's apartment. We're Percy's … distant cousins."

"That's cool," I told him, sipping from my orange juice. "We live in one of the large apartment complexes with our dad."

"Who's your dad?" Nico inquired.

Family was always a touchy subject for us. Our dad was Henry Jameson, brand-new principal at Goode High and probably the best cook in all of New York. Our mom was an entirely different story. For as long as I could remember, she'd never seen us. Fled the second we were home from the hospital, and left her twenty-three year-old boyfriend alone with two newborn daughters. That was Dad's story anyway.

I glanced at my sister. She told them, "Our dad's the principal."

"No mom?" Thalia asked.

"Nope," we both said. The conversation died right there. We finished our lunches in silence, until Percy and Annabeth came back over and sat down beside us on the bench.

"So, girls," Annabeth started. "How do you like your English class?"

"Oh my gods!" Selena gushed. "I love it!"

I didn't even realize that she'd said oh my godssince she said it every day. I said, "Yes! Greek mythology? Awesome!"

Nico and Thalia smiled. "Who's your favorite god or goddess?" They asked immediately.

"Poseidon," Selena blurted. I rolled my eyes at her immediate response.

"Depends for me," I told them. "Poseidon's pretty cool, I mean, who do you guys know who can control 2/3 of the Earth's water? But, Apollo and Hermes—freaking awesome. Also, Athena isn't too bad either. Where would we be without wisdom?"

Annabeth laughed. "Exactly! We need wisdom!"

Percy scoffed. "Annabeth, really? Did you hear that? Poseidon controls 2/3 of the Earth's water!"

Nico butted in. "Hey! Why does no one like Hades? He isn't that bad!"

Thalia asked, "What about Artemis? She's the goddess of the Hunt!"

"Speaking of the Hunt," Percy thought aloud. "Where's Grover? He'd love to bring Pan into this debate."

Everyone's faces grew confused. Annabeth said, "Wasn't he in your class last period?"

"Yeah. But he had to run and give his girlfriend a call." I almost laughed. Satyrs and demigods couldn't use cell phones. I bet you ten drachmas Grover was using an Iris-Message.

"Well, we better go find him," Thalia sighed, dumping her tray's contents into a nearby trash bin.

...

We followed the demigods out of the cafeteria. Annabeth told us, "He's probably hanging out in the science room."

"Yeah. Grover's what you'd call a plant freak," Nico said, as we walked down the carpeted halls until we stopped in front of a pair of wooden double doors.

Percy tried to shove them open, but they didn't budge. Nico stepped forward, hairpin in hand and picked the lock in less than a minute. He opened one of the doors, and waved toward them. "Ladies first."

I stepped inside beside my sister. We looked around. It was empty, except for our history teacher who'd been our gym teacher a few periods back.

We looked at him weirdly. He turned toward us. I had to stifle the scream that escaped my lips.

His face was blue. Like, ice blue, as if he'd gotten hypothermia all over his body. His hair stood up along his hairline in icicle-like spikes. He gave us a cold smile, like a snake's before it strikes. Suddenly, the doors behind us slammed, as if a wind had blown them shut.

We turned to see Percy's worried expression as he slammed his body against the door's wooden frame. He looked up, fear making worry lines on his tan forehead. He looked up, meeting our eyes. He shrugged, as if to say, No good.

The monster laughed, walking forward and away from a long wooden black table, which was covered in thick ice.

"Hyperborean giant," I whispered, staring at it in shock.

The thing smiled. "You knew who I was? Now I'm going to feel really bad about killing kids who actually know their monsters… Eh, I'll get over it." And with that, he stalked forward.
