I own nothing, but my OCs.
Annabeth looked at all the schedules. "Percy, Nico, Victoria, Malcolm, Leo, Piper, and I all take Roman History. At the same time, Morgan, Will, Katie, the Stolls and Wendy all have Magic History. In second, Piper, Nico, Percy, and Will all take Basic Math. Malcolm, Connor, Wendy, Leo, and I take AP Math. Morgan, Katie, Travis, and Victoria have Honors English. Third has Morgan, Katie, Travis, and Victoria in Basic Math, while the rest of us are in Basic English. All of us have Greek Mythology last."
Percy, Annabeth, Nico met Leo, Piper, Malcolm, and Victoria in Roman History. Then, everyone divided up into three different classes. Piper was really annoyed that the Stolls were taking AP Math and she was taking Basic with three idiots. The three girls in Honors English had so much fun. Paul was making them chose a book series and pull it apart, then rebuild it and do all this overly complex stuff in order to understand it. Everyone else was curious about their English class. Paul must really hate demigods.
Lunch actually started pretty funny… Piper walked to the cafeteria with the Three Muske-idiots following behind her. Percy put his arm around Will's neck (Fake strangling going to be a running gag in my stories.). "I swear, Morgan may be my adopted sister, but she is MY sister. Harm a hair on her head and I send you to Hades the hard way!"
The blond smirked and took out of his pocket a string of long raven hair with pink and blue. "You really are going to kill me? Morgan gave this to me."
Percy grabbed his collar and stormed ahead. "Morgan! Solace will die if you don't vouch for him." (Calling people by their last names also is a gag.)
Piper was a little surprised when she saw a Goth girl was Morgan. Morgan, from Will's description of her, was a down-to-earth-kind-of-girl from like the sixties/seventies. Percy made it sound like she was a comic book geek. He said that they spent the weekend talking about Batman. She never expected Another Nico. Morgan was wearing a leather jacket over her uniform. She also had hoop earrings. They were earrings that her siblings had been talking about. They cost about 1000 dollars. Morgan must have a come from a rich family. The most interesting feature was her eyes. Her left eye was green. It looked like the eye color of the Hecate kids. The right eye was a unique color of green. It looked like… Percy's eyes. (Hint! Hint! Giant flashing arrow! Please don't be that stupid person that thinks "Why does it matter what color her eyes are?")
Piper walked up to the table. Will and Percy were sitting with Morgan between them. Will was sitting with his arm around her looking like they were a couple. Percy was doing the same with Annabeth. Piper sat down next to Leo. She was sad Jason, Hazel, and Frank went back to California. Wendy waved at Piper, "Salutations, friend of a friend."
Victoria smiled, "Let's go around the table and say our names and one fact about ourselves. I'll start, I'm Victoria Amerigo and I am the heir of Amerigo Magazine."
Piper was next. "I'm Piper and I'm not a kleptomaniac, despite popular belief." She glared at Travis and Connor.
Leo stood up, "Me llamo Leo Valdez y soy awesome."
Travis and Connor stood up with Katie in tow. Travis placed his hand over Katie's mouth. "I'm Travis, this is my baby-bro Connor, and my girl" Katie slammed her foot on his. "-friend. And us are living together in an apartment." Katie bit his hand, but Travis wasn't even fazed.
Malcolm was next. "I'm Malcolm Shrew and Stolls don't make the comment about shrews being mice." They gave him blank looks.
Wendy said she was named after Peter Pan.
Nico said he had several tutors.
Annabeth said she was Percy's soul mate.
Percy said Annabeth was his soul mate.
Morgan said she had a brother in Charleston.
Will said his last name was Solace.
Leo suddenly pricked up. He heard Morse Code. "Or was Tara also gone with the wind which had swept through Georgia? E, do not leave me here. I miss you." The tapping stopped after that, so he didn't catch who did it. Leo was focused so much on the tapping; he was missing the real talking. Travis and Morgan seemed to be trying to get Katie to do something. Morgan said, "But, Kate, you need to read them for the project."
Travis laughed, "It's only a trilogy plus some short stories."
The daughter of Demeter rolled her eyes at Travis. "I don't care about the length; it's the plot I hate." The boy was confused.
Morgan shrugged, "It's about a New Yorker girl who falls in love with her kidnapper."
The others looked at each other.
Katie smirked, "You forgot the most important part," she paused to take a bite of her sandwich. Everyone was on the edge of their seats. "There New Yorker was a daughter of Demeter."
Morgan nodded, "Of course it is, Kate."
The demigods laughed. The others were confused. (I will dedicate the next chapter to whoever can figure out which book series Morgan wants Katie to read.)
Katie turned to Morgan. "What are you doing?"
Morgan smirked, "I don't know. Maybe Harry Potter, but it got a bit violent at the end. Or maybe the Beautiful Creatures Series, I liked the plot and characters. The Dictionary? I read it twice, already. I was thinking Gone with the Wind, Scarlett, and Rhett Butler's People. I can write about different authors on the same topic, Southern class, and family." Her voice wavered at the end, but only the girls and Leo noticed.
Nico was confused, "Why would you read those? They all sound boring."
Morgan glared at him. Leo and Piper both noticed her eyes change color. Her sea green eye turned pink and her green eye turned purple. It lasted for only a second. Piper remembered that female children of Hecate change eye color right before they cast a spell. Morgan even muttered something like, "Hsup mih tuo." Right on cue, Nico fell out of his chair.
3rd class
Everyone, minus the few taking math, went to English. Eight people in the class were demigods. Paul introduced the class as Basic English and called role. There were maybe twenty kids in the class. "I think I had more kids in my honors class." He looked at Percy. You save the world: you get honored. Your sister takes harder classes then you and is honored.
Annabeth nudged him and whispered, "It's okay. He just likes Morgan better because she likes English. Everyone knows you're my favorite." Percy kissed her forehead.
Paul heard them, but didn't want to interrupt because of the trip to Tartarus. However, one snotty girl did. "Mr. Blofis, the dumb blond is flirting with my future husband."
It took Percy, Nico, Will, Connor, Wendy, Malcolm, Leo and Piper to hold Annabeth back. Percy finally pulled Annabeth into his lap and wrapped his armed around her. He claimed that was the only way to hold her down. Wendy glared at the girl. "Macy Melissa Mark." Connor and Leo snickered. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought they would have locked you up in Arkham Asylum." Connor and Leo were in awe of this girl.
Macy smiled at her, "Oh, Little Miss Frying Pan. I thought you were locked up after that little 'problem' you had."
Wendy lunged for her, but Malcolm and Leo held her back. The girl screamed, "I'm not schizophrenic, you selfish, egocentric, childish brat!"
Paul clapped his hands. "Miss Mark, you know Miss Pan gone through a rough patch. You will not insult her. The same for Mr. Jackson and Miss Chase."
Macy nodded, but she glared at the two girls and smiled at Percy. The boys had to retract the two girls again.
Percy muttered in Annabeth's ear, "Relax, Wise Girl."
Connor had to blackmail Wendy. "My brother and I have some Batman comics; if you relax you can borrow them."
She shrugged, "I like the Flash better. He's the jokester of the League."
"You're my clone!" Conner and Travis loved Flash.
Paul cleared his throat. "In this class, we will have a project. My honors class had to chose a series, I'm letting you chose a book." Most of the demigods sighed in relief. "And I'll let you chose a partner."
Right when he finished, the door opened. A sneaky brown hair boy, a girl with flowers weaved in her hair, a blond, and a girl with colors in her hair fell in. Leo, for some reason, stood up and waved. Travis crossed his arms, "This isn't math class."
Paul looked at them. "Travis, Katie, Victoria, Morgan, I know my class is great, but you have math."
Morgan looked horrified, "But Daddy's its MATH!"
Katie rolled her eyes. "Really, you're playing that card."
"It was worth a shot."
The four were about to leave when Paul said, "Wait, you can stay." They ran to their friends. "Only for today, understand Travis, because I know it was your idea?"
If you were paying attention, there were several DC comic references in this. Batman/Arkham, Flash, some of you comic geeks like me may have seen the Zatanna reference in there. I'm seriously curious if you guys can guess the books Katie is going to read. You got clues from Travis, Morgan, and her. It doesn't matter if you don't know the series; some of you may not like the genre. I'll tell you why I chose that series next chapter.
