Annabeth P.O.V
I watched Percy walk into his classroom nervously, and I couldn't help but laugh a little. The guy was so afraid of teenagers, it was unhealthy.
I wrote my fake name on the board, and took a seat at my desk. I had brought my case files with me, so I could review them while the children were working.
The kids started walking in, yelling and doing foolish immature things.
"Take your seats." I said firmly. The kids all turned around to look at me, and sat down in there seats.
"Are you a sub?" One boy with his hair gelled up asked.
"No. And next time you want to say something, raise your hand." I said. He just grumbled something, that I bet was a curse word.
"Take your textbooks out, turn to page 330, read the article, and answer questions 1 to 33 in your notebook. Any talking will result in an immediate detention." I finished. Some kids grumbled and groaned, and others shot me dirty looks.
I just sighed and opened my case files. There was a picture of Percy and the murdered couple. Unfortunately Percy didn't remember anything, so we couldn't question him.
The killer had struck in 5 different states, killing twenty people in total, and attempting to kill Percy. The killer killed his victims in brutal ways, often mutilating them. We almost had no information on the person, except for the fact that he kills everyone by chopping them up into little pieces.
I didn't know why the killer decided to target Percy, because he had nothing in common with the other victims. The other victims were all couples between the ages of 30 to 35 and they all had a family member that was working for the government. Percy fit none of those categories.
"Uh, Anna- Jessica, can I see you outside for a second?" I heard Percy say. I turned around to see him at the doorway, looking awfully nervous.
"I have to go out of the classroom. No talking." I said, then stood up and walked out of the classroom. Percy closed the door.
"What is it Percy?" I asked, annoyance evident in my voice.
"Ok, first of all, I know absolutely NOTHING about science. How am I supposed to teach that class? And second of all, all the girls keep on looking at me and whispering to each other! They are calling me 'hot', and 'cute', and I don't wanna get raped!" he whined, making big hand gestures.
I laughed and crossed my arms. "Percy, you're not going to get raped by a bunch of thirteen year old girls. Calm down." I said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
He scrunched his eyebrows together and shook his head. "No. I am not going back in there. Those kids are saying words that are so disturbing, you don't even wanna know."
"Percy, get your ass back into that classroom. Teach them about… trees or something." I suggested.
"Trees? What is there to teach about trees? They have bark and leaves and stuff, done. Nothing to teach!" he exclaimed.
"Would you quiet down? We're in a hallway!" I whisper-shouted at him. "Teach them about the ocean! Judging from your house, you love the ocean!"
He nodded. "Yeah… good idea Annabeth! Ok then… thanks!" he said and turned around to go back into his classroom. I rolled my eyes and went back into my classroom.
The children were silently doing their work, which I was happy about. Hopefully the next few classes will be this good too.
It was finally the end of the day, and man was I happy. My throat was sore from yelling so much, and I desperately needed to take a long nice bubble bath.
Turns out the kids from the other periods weren't as good as first period.
I walked over to Percy's classroom, to pick him up so that we could go home. He was sitting at his desk, twirling a pencil around in his hand.
"You ready to go?" I asked him. He dropped the pencil and looked up at me.
"Yup." he said while standing up and putting his coat on.
"So how did the day go for you? Did you get mugged?" I asked him. He smiled and shook his head.
"Nope. They were pretty good most of the time… except for those girls… and the guys…" he muttered. "How did yours go?"
"Oh, those kids are demons. They wouldn't stop talking! You think they would quiet down after you give them two weeks of detention, but no, they keep on talking!" I told him.
He chuckled and patted me on the shoulder. "Now you know why I don't like them."
I smiled and walked with him out of the classroom.
"Why don't we go get Chinese food? To go celebrate that you didn't die by the hand of a teenager today." I suggested. He nodded.
"Sure. I love Chinese food." He said.
We walked out of the building and towards the car.
"Should I drive today? Cause you look pretty tired." Percy said. I was a bit reluctant, but gave in.
He seated himself in the passenger seat, and put his hands on the steering wheel.
"This car is awesome." he mumbled. I gave him the keys, and he started the car. As he was pulling out of the parking lot, my cell phone rang.
"Excuse me." I said to him, and then took my phone out of my pocket.
"Hello?" I said. I heard heavy breathing on the other end of the line, which was a bit peculiar.
"Annabeth? Oh my god Annabeth, I'm so happy you picked up the phone! Oh god, I need help. Annabeth please come help me!" That voice made my heart almost stop. I couldn't think and I couldn't move. I tried to say something, but it barely came out as a whisper.
"Luke?"
