PERCY TELLS PAUL

by Tom Marvolo Riddle 2

I know, I know, another story where Percy tells Paul that he's a demigod. But please read and review. I've read pleanty of others and am trying to avoid the "Percy gets into a fight with his friends and Paul sees it" and the "The demigods are making absolutly no sense to Paul or the audience." Rated T for mild language possible future chapters. READ and REVIEW PLEASE! :D

2. Sally Comes Home

The rest of the drive went by in an uncomfortable silence. When we got back to the apartment, I told him to start his homework. "I'd go start reading if I were you. I heard there might be a pop quiz over part one on Monday."

Percy laughed and went to his room.

I began grading English papers. When I got to Percy's essay, instead of finding hundreds of eraser marks, pencil smudges, and misspelled words, I found it written in three different languages, changing many times within single sentences. English, Greek, and is that Latin?

The English sections looked awful, like usual. Nearly every word was misspelled and smudged. What I presumed to be Latin was written in neater rows and less smudgy sections. The Greek sections, which were the majority of the paper, were flawless. They were written in perfectly neat rows, with zero to none eraser marks.

Setting it aside, I decided I'd talk to him later.

When Sally finally came home, I hung her jacket for her. When she came back into the living room, I told her what I'd seen at Goode. She reacted more calmly then I thought she would have.

"So, Percy beat up the new girl and her dog with a baseball bat, then ran away with Rachel?" she asked summing up my detailed description. I nodded.

"I'll go talk Percy. Where is he?"

"His room, hopefully reading like I asked him to."

"Oh, what are you having the class read?"

"The Odyssey." Sally smiled at this, pecked me on the lips and turned to Percy's room.

PERCY'S POV

I turned my head to the sound of the door opening and shutting. I was laying in bed on my stomach, not feeling too cold, as in, I was running a temperature from too much nectar and ambrosia.

My mom came in making my latest fight sound like I was the bad guy.

"So, Paul tells me you attacked the new girl and her dog with a bat?" I smiled weakly and nodded.

"Tina Empousa, and Bones the German hellhound. I don't think they'll be back until they recover from the wounds of my bat." She smiled at this.

"You look awful." She said replacing her smile with concern. "Have some nectar and ambrosia." She handed me my canteen and plastic bag.

I turned my head away. "I've already had too much. My temperature is dangerously high."

"Do you want anything?"

"Ice pack and some salt water."

She turned and left. When she came back, she put a glass on my nightstand and the ice pack on my forehead. She kissed me on the cheek and left.
