Hi peops, I am back. Sorry for the long wait, but I caught a cold AND twisted my ankle, so I think this should be a good excuse. I also said, I wouldn´t update this much. UUhh, either way, I am sorry for the wait. I hope you like it. To the review I got from LunaItsuka, if you don´t say exactly, what mistakes I make, I can´t correct them, so I would like, if you could PM me and tell, what you think should be corrected. Either way, thanks for the review, for all the reviews I got. 12 reviews! I never would have guessed that you guys like it that much. Wow. Enough talked. Here is chapter 3. Enjoy! :)

~ Chapter 3 ~

Perseus pov

I stared at her and was just about to ask her a question (duh) as the school bell rang. I sighed. This is just my bad luck. The teacher introduced himself as Mr. Parkinson and started his lessons. I leaned back in my chair and zoned out. I knew all this stuff (god of Shrewdness at your service), and didn´t thought it this necessary to listen. Annabeth had other thoughts, as she thrust her elbow in my ribs. Man, this girl knows how to punch a guy. Ow.

I looked questionably at her and she glared back at me. Her glare made me shudder. I had seen some very ugly and scary monsters, but none of them could muster a glare like the girl besides me. As I didn´t do anything she got frustrated and took a little sheet of paper to write something down.

Why do you not pay attention? This is important stuff for us, you too. You could get problems if you don´t know this. –A

I know, but back in my old school, we already had this stuff. I learned it very hard, so this here shouldn´t be a problem for me. What about you? Shouldn´t you be the one, paying attention then? ;) –P

At my last statement, I had a smugly smile on my face. What I wasn´t prepared for was the answer I got.

I could py attention, but why? I know this stuff too. Usually I could be one of the seniors, not because I had to repeat a grade, but I could skip one. :P What do you have? -A

Now she was the one smiling smugly. At first I didn´t know what to write back, but then I got an idea.

Wow, that´s good. I probably could skip too, but my, uhm, uncle wouldn´t be very happy about it… Anyway, do you have any free periods today? -P

I was nervous for her answer.

Yeah, for first lesson, like you already know ;) I have math, then science, English, Latin, lunch, a free period and last architecture. You? And why do you want to know? –A

UH, I have the same subjects as you, if the only difference is that I have Greek instead of Latin. Why I want to know, uhm , would you like to go to the library in the free time? –P

Her answer came almost immediately. The teacher didn´t seem to notice our little exchange.

Really, you don´t seem that much like someone who would want to learn Greek. Why? And I would love to go to the library; books *sigh* I love them… -A

Cool, I learn Greek, because I am from Greece. I was born there. Only a few years ago did we come to America. I also love books too. -P

As she was about to answer, a cough interrupted our "conversation". "And what, Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Chase, of you don´t mind me asking, do you think you are doing?" The teacher looked at us, and angry expression on his face. "We were just writing, what you could do, after you chose 3 as you x and then divided it through the cube root of 356. We didn´t come to an agreement yet." I said. I summoned a little piece of paper under my table in my hands, al I just said was on it, and gave t to the teacher. As he read it, his jaw hit the floor and he gasped like a fish. "B-b-bu-u-t-t t-that´s c-comp-plet-tly r-r-ight" He stuttered. I could barely hold my chuckle back. Annabeth had just a very confused look on her face. " I know sir. You just explained it to us 5 minutes ago." I said with a smirk. He was to stunned to say anything and just walked back to his desk. The bell rang shortly after.

I caught up with Annabeth, as she was about to leave the class room. "So, uhm, like I said, I am from Greece. That´s the reason I speak it. And no, this isn´t cheating." Yeah, I know it is. "Yes, it is cheating." She said with an amused smile. Holy Zeus, this smile is beautiful, wait what? Oh, Aphrodite, I swear of the next time I see you I am going to kill you. Her only response was a chuckle in my head. "Okay, it is. Not that I would care." I said and we both burst out laughing. It probably looked strange, but who cares. I hadn´t laughed like this in a very long time. I was in the last time a little bit gloomy. The wars, the brake up, all this shit together didn´t really help. The more surprised I was, that I felt happy now.

"So, hurry up! We have to go to science." With that we ran to the rooms that were only for science. At the desk sat a middle aged woman, blonde, short hair, big glasses and a white lab coat. She had this typical scientist look and her looks reminded me painfully of someone, I wouldn´t want to think now. I gave let her sign and made may way to the set next to Annabeth.

"SO, you know now that I am from Greece, but what about you?" She looked t me, as if she had to decide if she could trust me. After a few moments, she replied. "I was born in the United States, San Francisco to be precise. We, as in my father, my stepmother, my half-brothers and I, came to New York, after my stepmother got a got job here. First she travelled, but we soon decided it would be best to move here. That´s it. Why did you leave Greece?" Smooth Percy, just think of a lie that is as near to the truth as possible.

"Uhm, I have a very big family. My cousin is something like the "boss" you could say. He decides something, the family follows. My other cousin, uncle H wasn´t that happy about and wanted to be a little bit distance between him and his two brothers. He is in Los Angeles right now. The rest of my family lives here too. The dude that walked into the classroom, right now, is my twin brother, ´Pollo." I said and mentioned to Apollo, who was at the desk and got his signature. She looked a little bit confused. I just rolled my eyes at this. "If you have a question then just ask. I am not going to bite you, you know?" I said sarcastically. She was a little bit shocked first and the blushed, mumbling soft "sorry". She cleared her throat and asked.

"You say he is your brother? He doesn´t really look like you" She said. Although it was a statement, you could clearly figure out, what she wanted to know. "Yeah, we get that a lot. He comes after our father and I after mother. I am the firstborn, even if it´s only a short time" (a short time that is actually a few thousand years.) She seemed not entirely satisfied, but didn´t bother any more.

The next few lessons were actually pretty boring. After science, English was a blur. The subject we had next was something I wasn´t sure if I dreaded it or was excited for. Greek. The teacher, Mr. Brunner seemed to be nice ;). If you were wondering, it is Chiron. As I walked into the room, I nearly got a heart attack as I saw him. I surly didn´t think that his was sometimes teaching in mortal school, looking for demigods. He must´ve been pretty shocked too, because he gasped, looking like a fish in the process.

"Hey Mr. Brunner! I didn´t think I would see you, of all the people in this world, here." I said. I went to his desk and gave him a bro-hug. We hadn´t seen each other in years. Normally, I was the director at Camp, but as Zeus ordered Dionysos to replace me as his punishment, I looked for something else in the meantime. I was clearly pissed that I wasn´t allowed in my own domain, heroes, but I would soon go back. After this year, Dionysos´ uhm, let´s say adventure should be over. Many Campers couldn´t wait to see me again. From time to time I was the teacher for Swords class, but not always. Anyway, back to the story.

"Perseus, I never would have guessed to have you in one of my classes." We laughed slightly at our inside joke. I was the person who taught Chiron all these years ago and now, we switched our rolls. Funny. Not. I. Hate. Zeus´. Punishments. They always backfire at me. Just my rotten luck. Sometimes I hate the fates. If I think about it, I haven´t visited Atropos in like eternity. Should remember coming over to them at some time. They were always nice to talk to (if they didn´t spoke in riddles, they were nice).

"Yeah, I never thought I would need to go to school. At least not as a student. Chiron, it´s frustrating. Apollo, like the idiot he is, pranks Zeus, he thinks it was me who did it and then I end up getting the Punishment. Always. This is clearly not fair." He nodded, a little smugly smile on his face. Oh he is getting it so bag, the next chance I get. "Since when is life fair, Mr. Jackson? I would suggest now, that you go to your seat. The lesson is about to start and you wouldn´t want to miss this class."

I went to my seat, mumbling something about annoying centaur- teachers. The lesson began and Chiron spoke. "Welcome to your junior year in high school. Many of you already know me since last year, for those who don´t, I am Mr. Brunner. I teach Greek and only this. The people, who are familiar with my way of teaching know, that I don´t only teach you the language, but also the gods, heroes and other stories-" at this I nodded slowly at Chiron, grateful that he didn´t use the m-word. " – you may or may not have heard of. Let´s begin with something simple.

In the old days, the Greeks worshipped gods. Let´s see if someone can name them all. I would suggest, uhm, Mr. Loran to name the male ones and at least one domain." He gestured to a boy at the back. He wasn´t big, no a tiny kid instead. He had blonde hair and sky blue eyes. He was playing nervously with his fingers, probably ADHD, and his eyes scanned a little hopeless over the book page, signaling dyslexia. I was very sure, this was a demigod, a son of Apollo no less, who was at this school too. Oh the irony.

"Uhm, there is Zeus the king god and lord of the sky and his brother, Poseidon is the lord of the seas. One of Zeus´kids is Hermes, god of messaging, another one Ares, god of war. Also sons of Zeus are Apollo, god of music, Hephaestus, god of forges and the god of madness, Dionysos." He said. I was a little bit angry. People always forgot to mention me, even if I am the oldest. Is my name really this complicated? Chiron seemed to notice my not very happy look and got a little bit paler and wide eyed. He cleared his throat and nodded slowly.

"Correct Mr. Loran, sadly you forgot one. Cn somebody tel me the name of the god, Mike forgot to mention?" A boy, I think he was one of the jerks here, raised his hand. Chiron nodded to him. "The idiot over there forgot to mention the coolest of them all." He said. I nodded, agreeing with him. Saldy, I wasn´t prepared for what he would say next. "He forgot Hades, god of death." I groaned loudly and face palmed. Out of the corner of my eyes, I could see Mike do the same.

"And why, Mr. Jackson did you face palm at his answer? It is wrong, I know it but I would like a correction." Chiron replied with a smirk, which I gladly replied. "First of all, Hades is no Olympian. He was banished form Olympus by Zeus, king of the gods. Also, he isn´t the god of death. That is Thanatos. Hades domains are the Underworld and riches." I said. Chiron nodded, agreeing with me and the class just stared at me open mouthed. "That´s correct, but what I didn´t mention before, is that you forgot one of the Olympians. About this one, I will teach you today." At this he smiled smugly at me and I could just stare blankly at him. If I heard him right, I would have to hear some very, VERY private story about myself in this class. Oh joy! Zeus kill me! No can do, sorry. He replied in my head and I mentally groaned. This was going to be torture!

Does that count as Cliffy? I think it does, so ha, deal with it. ;P Please review and tell me if you like or hate it, and if you hate it, what I could do to make it better. Thanks :D Untils next chapter
