Chapter 4

(Sadie's POV)

I went into my maths class… Math class as you Americans like to call it... and sat down, still thinking about why Anubis had been in the school yard, but disappeared as soon as I began to walk over. Jaz nudged me and nodded to the teacher.

"We'll figure it out later, for now, pay attention"

She whispered. I nodded and payed attention, more or less, until class was over. I gathered up my homework and left with Jaz.

"You're so distracted today. Is it Anubis?"

she asked, walking beside me to my locker so I could get my books for next class.

"Yeah."

I admitted, then smirked a little.

"You know me too well"

I joked. She laughed and brushed her hair over her shoulder.

"I do indeed!"

she agreed before waving and jogging off to her next class since it was on the other end of the school. I frowned a little at my locker and messed with my Tyet amulet, thinking. I shook it off and went to my second period class, History, where I spotted him! He was just sitting in the corner of the room, looking around. I wanted to confront him, but just then the teacher told everyone to sit. I scowled at him, but went to my seat. He glanced over at me and rolled his eyes. Can you believe the nerve?! I swore to myself to catch him after class and demand explanations.

(Nico's POV)

I'll take that mic back, thank you very much. If you get to tell them what happened that morning, then I get to tell my side too. Gods Sadie, relax. Anyways, yeah, first and second period… So, after losing the blonde girl (Chill Sadie, I still didn't know your name at that point) I went and found my first class, which was English. I sat down in the back of the class and stayed silent, looking down at the desk as the teacher introduced me to the class. I watched with disinterest as some kids snickered and began whispering.

'Must be the 'cool kids' that Piper complains about sometimes from her old school'

I thought to myself, watching them. I looked up and groaned internally as she said they were currently studying Greek mythology.

'So that's why dad chose now to enroll me… Hilarious. Almost makes me think he has a sense of humor'

I thought irritably. I was pulled from my thoughts when the teacher asked me if I could name any of the gods. I shrugged and said

"Hades"

just because, why the heck not? I then scowled as one of the kids muttered

"Of course the new goth kid knows that one."

I folded my arms and said

"I'm not goth."

then proceeded to list almost all of the gods, major and minor alike, just to show him up. Everyone, including the teacher, just stared at me. The cool kid shook it off first and said

"Ok new kid, but I bet you can't actually speak Greek!"

I quirked a brow and replied

"Φυσικά κάνω. Επίσης ξέρω ότι είστε ένα πλήρες τράνταγμα. Τώρα σκάσε"

(Of course I do. I also know that you're a complete jerk. now shut up)

He just stared at me blankly and I leaned back, trying not to smile at his dumbfounded expression. The teacher cleared her throat and said

"O...k… Anyways, um, today we're studying…"

I kind of tuned out after that. I was left alone the rest of class and when the bell rang I was the first out of the room. I went to History next, and that's when my day got even worse. After sitting, I saw the angry girl from before come in. I saw her head towards me, then sighed in relief as the bell rang. She glared at me and sat down, but looked like she was planning to get to me after class. 'This ought to be fun' I thought with a sense of dread.
