I'm on fire today, another chapter!
Chapter 3: My first lesson Greek:
Annabeth's POV
I was so excited when Mr Alsat entered the room. He wore a grey suit and his brown curly hair was combed to the side.
He started the lesson: "Good morning class, today we have new student: Percy Jackson." A tall boy with green eyes and black hair stood up and grinned to the class.
"So mr Jackson do you know anything about Greek myths?" Mr Alsat asked. The boy smiled like he knew an inside joke and said: "Well, I know a few things. Shoot."
Mr Alsat surprised by this answer asked him: "Mr Jackson your really confident. Lets start with an easy one: Who chopped Medusas head of? You should know it." "Of course I do, Perseus, my namesake." Percy answered.
I smiled to Thalia and she knew exactly what I meant. She wrote down a note: This guy thinks he knows something about the gods, I know for sure that when they ask him a harder question, he wouldn't stand there like he knows as much as your mom. - Thalia
I nodded, mortals could be so self-confident. But Mr. Alsat was a bit impressed: "So Perseus, you knew that one but this one is a bit harder: Who solved this riddle: What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?" Mr Alsat smiled, thinking Percy wouldn't know the answer and I was with him.
Thalia and I mouthed: Oedipus and rolled our eyes. Like this kid would know it, he's probably watching TV every afternoon, but I was proved wrong, to my great astonishment he knew the answer. With the same self-confident look on his face he said without thinking: " Oedipus, you're not making this hard sir."
Mr Alsat was surprised but not done questioning him: "Who made Pandora?"
This made the boy think for a second, but no longer, and said: "Zeus."
"Very well mr Jackson, it seems that you're a great mythological quiz fan, but answer this last question: Why did the people of Athene, at that moment an unnamed city, chose Athena as their protector and not Poseidon?" Mr Alsat asked.
Instinctively my hand rose and I answered the question before Percy even had a chance: "Because Athena, the goddess of Wisdom, gave them an olive and showed them what they could do with it."
Everybody stared at me. Thalia smiled with her thumbs up mouthing nerd, Mr Alsat was in unsure if he should glorify me or make me stay after school and the boy, well he was surprised and smiled. "But of course, Poseidon was no match for Athena." I added.
This made the expression of the boy change, he looked more furious than Hades furies, he looked like he wanted to kill me right at the spot, looked like I just made things personal.
Percy's POV
"Excuse me, girl with the blond hair. You said Poseidon was no match for Athena, but I think you're completely wrong. If the citizens of Athene would have known how the gift of Poseidon, a horse, had boosted their economy, their salary and their achievements at the battlefield, they would have chosen poseidon. And I think the god of the Sea and the earth shaker is a better protector than a goddess of wisdom." I said.
I was furious: how did it even crossed her little brain that Athena was better than my dad! Why did it crossed 1minute ago my brain that she was smart and pretty!
The girl said: "Well my name is Annabeth and for you seaweed brain, I'm someone who's smarter than you'll ever be. You boys only talk about irrational war and achievements at the battlefield, but that's why they chose Athena. Because she's the goddess of wisdom and battle strategies! "
I didn't even realized I was standing and so was Annabeth. I wanted to say something but Grover stopped me and pointed at mr. Alsat. He didn't look happy.
"Annabeth Chase! You are making a too big deal of Percy preferring Poseidon! I don't want to hear another word!"
I smiled to her and if looks could kill, I would have died the most awful dead and was send to tartarus.
So what do you think? Is it good? Or bad? Do you want me to write more? Or should a change things? Please review
