Chapter 18: Deep Trouble
Zeus POV
I watched as the balloon of peanut butter fell on her head. I know this must be immature and very ungodly, but I cracked up at the sighed. Half of the balloon had stuck in her hair. Her eyes widened and the peanut butter made her look like some little kid playing around.
Poseidon was fuming. He suddenly grabbed me by my collar and lifted me inches from the ground pinning me to the locker.
"Did you do that?"
"No…" I stuttered
"Of course not" Ivan said "I did that. I'm not going to sit around and have you get all the credit."
Poseidon turned his attention back to his brother "WHY did you do this"
"She needs to know who's in charge. God or not I may never have children in the future" Zeus snarled "All because of her"
"That's not an Excuse" Poseidon exclaimed. Wheezing had interrupted their conversation. They turned and saw, Poseidon's dear friend, Allison on the ground.
Percy and Annabeth were already at the scene. Annabeth knelt down beside Allison
"Ally," she said "are you alright?"
"Nuts!" she exclaimed "can't breathe"
"She's allergic to nuts" Annabeth said her face, along with mine, was starting to go pale.
Poseidon dropped me with a thud and looked at Percy.
"We have to get her to the hospital." They carried her in a two man carry and Annabeth started to dial on her phone.
Then it dawned upon me. I nearly killed a girl, a mere child. For the sake of revenge, am I really doing this? Am I turning into my father? Mr. Blofis, who I didn't notice standing there, had seen the whole event unfold.
"You two," he said "come with me."
"This is a serious matter, boys" we sat in front of the principal on the office. "Almost killing another student!"
"It was his idea" Ivan suddenly exclaimed "he wanted to get revenge!"
"I do not think so, Ivan" Mr. Blofis said "I heard the entire confrontation. You admitted on pulling the prank with Michael as your accomplice"
The principal sighed "This is your third offense of this nature; I have contacted your parents and will be here shortly"
"Sir," I said hesitantly. I am a god I am not supposed to call mere mortals with titles. "My parents are... Well gone and our guardians are in Italy"
"Who is can I talk to about this situation? What as the fastest way to contact them?" he asked shocked that someone would leave behind teenagers to their own devices
"That will be my brother, Matthew" I muttered hopefully, He is as old as a principal usually is. But sadly I was mistaken as he called the secretary to call me brother. I slumped deeper into my chair as I waited nervously.
There was a knock on the door. Mrs. Brown his secretary led in a man. He wore a suit had this stern look on his face. I can tell he was his father. I mean seriously, it was quite obvious. He was the only one in this room whose parents were called. Also, he looks a lot like his father.
"Good morning, Mr. Clark"
"What happened this time?" he said in an exasperated yet stern tone. "I will explain as soon as..."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in" Hades appeared at the other side totally confused but when he saw me his stare hardened which made me try to shrink even smaller "what did you do?"
"Anyways now that we're all here" the principal said "I believe we should start out meeting. Please take a seat gentlemen"
"It seems that these two had a little… trouble making incident earlier today." The principal said "a girl was sent to the hospital just earlier today."
"What?" Hades said and glared at me. "Don't tell me its that girl again. You have got to stop acting like some drama queen"
"I am not a drama queen" I said offended "For one im not a girl. and another, she had it coming."
"What happened?" Mr. Clark asked glaring at his son "Another one of your immature nonsense I presume?"
"No sir" he said rather timid. I stared at him. Ivan Clark one of the most hotheaded boys in this school is afraid of his own father. Then again I am currently cringing under the gaze of my own brother…But we have a thousand year age gap, so I have an almost valid excuse.
"Well it seems that there was a prank" the principal said "these boys filled a balloon with peanut butter and placed it in the locker of their classmate. In most cases, this would be harmless. It wouldn't normally be an offence. But…"
"But?"
"But said classmate just so happens to be allergic to nuts, and caused a rather large situation."
"How were we supposed to know that bitch had those stupid allergies? She deserved it anyway." Ivan said "she refused to help me in class"
Ivan and I had shared the class with Allison. He had attempted to cheat on her in the quiz. But she refused to give him the time of day. Much more look in his direction.
"Do you know what would've happened if the ambulance hadn't arrived just in time?" the principal asked
"She would've died" Hades said beside me. His stare was still as unnerving as ever. No one deserves to die in an early age. Especially for some idiotic prank"
"So let us proceed then. Mark for being an accomplice for this. I am sorry but you are going to be suspended for a week, since this was your first offence. I am leaving you with a warning." The principal said then his face hardened "as for you Ivan I am sorry but this is the third offence. I have no other choice but to have you expelled."
"What!" Ivan exclaimed jumping to his feet. "He's just as guilty as I am, why do I get the harsher punishment? This is injustice!"
"Sit down" his father said sternly "I am sorry for his outburst. But I have to agree with you in this."
"Alright, I think we should have this meeting to an end."
"I can't believe you did that" Hades said out way home. "you nearly killed a girl just cuz she stood up to you?"
"Why are you siding with her?" I demanded "Your suppose to be on my side"
"I am Zeus" Hades said "Just nothing when it becomes this serious"
We entered the apartment building. "Well I have to go across the block I have a project to do with Nico"
"Fine. I'll just wait upstairs" I said as I climbed to our floor. I entered the apartment and met with three angry goddesses. I froze as I hopelessly looked for a place to escape.
"You are in so much trouble, young man"

Blue Torpedo: Yeah it works though it has to be wet and it has to be cardboard. The water will evaporate in the cardboard and when you remove it, it gives you that impression that it was imprinted on the cardboard
TheWickedMidNight: Its some classes some of the upcoming graduating batch take before we have to take the entrance exams next school year. To ensure I won't fail in the entrance exams.
