Percy's POV

One Week After the Test
Okay, so it's been one week since that messed up test. And things . . . .well, things have been a little messed up since.
On the second day of school, we moved in to our new dorm, er, house-y apartment thingy.
Weird enough, it kind of looked like a ranch.
It was nice actually. There was a porch. And when you get it inside, the living room had TV. The Stoll Brothers 'brought' (ehem, stole) their Wii and got it in without the dorm manager noticing.
We had a dorm manager who we haven't seen yet. I know, it's been one week and we haven't seen him at all. He's just locked up in the room he has in the first floor.
The first floor was wide though with a living room, the kitchen, the dorm manager's room, a bathroom, and a 'secret door' that supposedly cannot be open for some reason (that's for the mortals, and actually, that was the door to the underground training room, which was HUGE. I'm serious, it's spread underground wider than the floor area of the house!
Anyway, the second floor was divided by two sides (boys on the left, girls on the right). Each side had five rooms with bathrooms in between so, we had eight bathrooms. But apparently, only two rooms for each gender were open to us.
The room was wide so it wasn't a problem. The Stoll brothers shared with Clovis, I shared with Nico and Rave . . . .but due to circumstances . . . . Conner kind of switched with Rave, so for a while, Conner's been bunking with us. Why? . . . . er, nevermind
The room was simple enough. It was rectangular with two bunks attached to the wall on both the left and the right side, and one cabinet on each side.
Like the previous room, there was a table in the middle of it all for studying purposes.
So anyway, the curriculum we're in is pretty cool. Apparently, this school is big on making scholarship students for colleges, that's what they focus on actually. As long as you're good at something that can grant you a scholarship, who cares about the rest?
We've noticed some other people with the Sight mark. And we've tried to avoid them. There was this one time that Tus asked me on the second day what I was 'in' for in the curriculum. Apparently, he was in for the basketball varsity. Obviously, I took swimming over basketball (apparently, the principal heard of my little. . .incident with some of its regulars)
Anyway, it's been going on pretty weird lately THAT I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
Nico's been going loco, paranoid and secretive (more than usual) and today, during our Saturday outing today, I'm going to find out.
But it's going to be awkward going out with the gang considering Travis . . . . . and Connor. . . . . and Kayla . . . . and Katie. Sigh.
Travis's POV
On the way to the Mall
Saturday
I want to get one thing straight: I'm still phucking pyssed with Connor.
I was with the Katie right now. For the past few weeks, I've been hanging with Katie. She's . . . she's the best friend I never thought I had.
Anyway, Mitchel owns the van, and we decided to go on the way to the mall.
The rest of the gang came out of the dorm and was going to hop on the van. I opened the sliding door and was about to enter myself when
"Conner, get off my side! I was entering first!"
"Well yeah? You don't have to push!" He says pushing me sideward with his shoulders
"Ditto, idiot!" I pushed him on the side.
And here we are in a pushing slug fest with 'some' bickering.
"Stop it" We hear Percy says with a cool voice.
I grumble something and I think stupid Conner did too.
I think Percy's the only person who's actually been stopping us from committing war. And, let's just say that I'm not exactly thankful for all of that.
It's been what? Two days since the incident?
FlashBack
Everything was going fine. It's the third day of school and we've adjusted well.
Rave and Yzabel were allowed to stay in school because Percy was there to train them and we were good enough to protect them.
I feel sorry for Rave and Yzabel, they were getting their buts whooped last night by Percy and everytime they get home Annabeth was bugging them with Greek lessons.
For the sake of the newbies, we talked in Greek in the dorm, considering we were all halfbloods there.
We were still making our rep.
Apparently, reps a lot important here in the other curriculum. Percy and Nico made a dangerous rep with the swords and swimming
We kept on laughing at that, if they only knew.
Meanwhile, although we hadn't made our rep in the music department, we've so far pranked five teachers and cancelled four classes since the classes started (which was yesterday)
We were eating lunch now
Conner whispered something to Kayla, and although I know what he was saying, I couldn't help getting jealous when Kayla laughed about it.
"Don't get the peas for lunch" I whispered to Katie. That's what Conner said to Kayla.
"What did you do now?" She asks me sceptically.
"Oh, just pass it along to the other guys" I tell her. she glared at me, and then passed it along to the other guys.
Anyway, we sat at an empty table at the cafeteria. Rave and Yzabel weren't always with us, they had their own set of friend after all
Conner nudged me.
"What?" I asked irritably considering I know what he wants to talk about.
"Do it now, Trav" he whispers smirking.
"I don't want to yet, Conner. So just shut up about it" I tell him and it almost came out of a growl. I mean c'mon, he's my brother. He's supposed to know me. How can he not know that it's Kayla I like and not Katie. GODS.
"What's your problem, it was a deal anyway?"
And that's when it started to get messy
Conner's POV of the Flashback
"What's your problem, it was a deal anyway?"
I was getting irritated at Travis. He's been acting like this ever since that bet with joining the music department.
I mean, seriously.
1 It was a bet.
2 It's obvious he likes Katie anyway
3 it was a bet.
In case you forgot, we bet that if Katie agreed that we should join music, Travis has to tell Katie he likes her.
I mean seriously, we were sons of HERMES. We know how to honour a bet and we don't get too personal about it. And he's been acting like a completely different person!
"You're my problem Conner. Why don't you just leave it to me for the timing?" He asks and I could tell he didn't think he'd say he's thoughts out loud.
"So I'm the problem now, Travis? Just tell her the things you like about her and her being pretty and stuff, then tell her you like her. For one, it's true and anyway, it's a bet, Trav. In case you forgot what it is" I told him, which was kind of a big insult to us children of Hermes
"What the hell do you want to say Conner?" Travis was glaring at me at this point and I was glaring back.
"Look, if you don't want to do the bet, I'LL tell Katie for you" I say irritated. Let's just get this over with.
"Katie- -" I try to say when Conner pushes me to the side
"The hell?!" I say getting up
"What the hell did you do that for?!" Travis had the NERVE to ask me that.
"I COULD ASK THE SAME!" I say pushing him
"Whoa guys! What the heck's going on?" Percy tries to say with a calm voice. We were loud enough to be heard by the gang but not for the whole cafeteria.
"What the heck's going on, Percy? Ask Travis! He's the one who's in the fault here. LOOK AT THE PICTURE, TRAV. YOU WON. THERE'S A CONSEQUENCE. WE'RE IN A PUBLIC PLACE!" I growl at him
"Well, Conner, look at the picture! I don't want to do it! And you're messing with my personal life, Conner. What' the hell is your problem. You can't even see it!"
"THAT"S THE PROBLEM TRAV. You're getting personal about this! I don't even know you anymore! Heck, even Chris won't know you anymore! YOU WON, TRAV. YOU KNOW HERMES' RULES. We don't get PERSONAL. Don't be a sore loser!"
"AND DON'T BE A DOUCHE OF A BROTHER!" He screamed at me which kind of shocked me.
I MEAN COME ON.
This . . . this is so wrong. We never, I mean never fight because of doing a consequence. That's a rule.
We didn't fight because we were sore losers. Even when I had to face Chiron because I lost a bet. Even when I had to sneak in the enemy camp and risk my phucking life because I lost a bet!
"WELL, NEWS FLASH BROTHER: I'M NOT THE ONE ACTING WEIRD. I'M NOT THE ONE GETTING PERSONAL ABOUT THIS. I'M NOT THE SORE LOSER HERE. I'M NOT THE ONE BREAKING FATHERS' RULES. ACTUALLY, SCRATCH THAT! DOES FATHER'S RULES EVEN APPLY TO YOU,' CAUSE, YOU DON'T ACT LIKE HIS SON. IN FACT, YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO BEING A SON OF HERMES"
I heard our whole table gasp. But I know I was in the right. There were rules for Hermes sake. Every sibling I have know it. Not a single sibling I have broke it.
Travis was kind of shocked.
"WELL, if you're really going there, brother, then fine" He says and breaths a deep breath and turns to Katie.
"Katie, you're the most beautiful, graceful, and fun person I know. I like the way your eyes gleam when you're planting. I like the way you glare when I prank you. I like the way you your hair flows when you're chasing me, and I'd follow your laugh the moment I hear it and prank you instead to make a reason of me being in your way because I didn't want you to know that I like you, so I'm just gonna say it now. I like you"
He said it all without removing his gaze from her eyes. A lot of gasps.
But I didn't care.
If he had the guts to do it now, then he had the guts to do it then. And it mattered then, but it didn't matter now. Too late. He can't take back getting personal. He can't take back breaking the rules.
"And, brother, NEWS FLASH: I MAY BE THE ONE ACTING WEIRD, BUT I'M NOT THE ONE WHO ACTED LIKE A FAILURE OF A BROTHER. Oh wait a minute, I'm a disgrace, aren't I? I don't have a brother."
I have to admit, it kind of hurt. But it only added to my anger.
"Serves you right, Stoll" I tell him and I turn around at the same time he did and we walked at the opposite direction.
I saw a glimpse of Katie following Travis.
Tss. Obviously, they like each other, why did he have to drag it to a fight?
Well, this is not my fault. And fixing it is the last thing I'll do.
I hear footsteps following me and I had a glance to know its Kayla. I know I won't be able to shrug her off so I let her follow.
You see, Kayla is like Katie is for. . . .for that Stoll.
I DON'T LIKE HER OR ANYTHING!
But, if that Stoll is close with Katie through being pranked, I'm super close with Kayla through pranking. Tss.
If she's following me to get me to make up with. . . .with Tr-…with that Stoll, well, I'll do it when Zeus rules the underworld, Hades rules the Sea, and Poseidon rules Olympus.
