And here's Chapter Two.
Hazel's POV
Hazel had never been to high school before. So she woke up early and was dressed and downstairs before anyone else.
She sat nervously at the table, sipping orange juice and tapping her toes on the floor. She looked up at the sudden noise, and realized that everyone else was beginning to wake up.
Annabeth came in looking nervous. "Everybody awake?"
No one responded. Instead they stared at the clock.
Piper sighed. "We'd better get to the bus stop. We've got to hurry or we'll have to walk."
Leo grinned, drumming his fingers on his tool belt. "High school, here we come!"

"Oh, this'll be fun." said Jason grimly. Mountainview turned out to be a huge beige building with few windows. There was a separate, smaller building which was completely windowless. Hazel decided she didn't want to know what it was for. She couldn't read the sign, anyway.
"Everybody gather in the auditorium for the Headmistresses welcome speech!" called a teacher who's hair was pulled into a tight bun.(AN: I forgot to mention, the teachers are all from the demigods pasts. Except the headmistress and the counselor.) Next to Hazel, Piper gasped. "Jane?" she whispered.
"Huh?" Hazel blinked at Piper as they continued through the front doors and followed the flow of students.
As they entered the auditorium they received their schedules and spotted a blonde woman standing on the stage, smiling. Her smile was slightly cold.
"Welcome to Mountainview!" She trilled as they filed into seats.
"Yeah, well we don't want to be here!" Yelled some guy in a row farther back.
The woman frowned and clicked her fingers at some security guards in the back of the room. They hustled forward and grabbed the guy, dragging him away.
"Trust me," the woman smiled, "you don't want to go where he is going. There are punishments for being late for class, misbehavior, and acting out. Don't do it." She smiled again. "That's all I wanted to say. But now, to introduce your teachers. I am Headmistress Marien Janssen." (anyone who gets that is awesome). She beckoned to a man. He stepped forward. "I am Professor Randolph Chase. I teach Mythology." He stepped back as Annabeth gasped.
Another man stepped forward. He looked drunk. "I am Professor Gabriel Ugliano, I teach math." he slurred, before stepping back. Percy groaned softly.
A woman stepped forward. "I am Professor Teresa Higgins, I teach English." Leo stiffened as she stepped back.
Another woman stepped forward. "I am Professor Jane Smith. I teach History." Piper winced.
The headmistress stepped forward. "The counselor will call each of you out from class today and tomorrow to discuss your files. Now head to class!" She trilled.

The first class was History. Professor Smith was extremely strict. She told them, the instant they entered, that she would call for the guards if anyone misbehaved.
Hazel was somewhat distracted, having seen a girl crusted in makeup coming toward the door. Which the teacher slammed. "Late." she said coldly. Then Hazel spotted guards coming down the hall, grabbing anyone left outside. She shivered.
The next class was English. Professor Higgins was slapping a ruler on the desk when they entered. Hazel noticed Leo was extremely quiet. He went straight to the back of the class. Hazel followed, noticing a cane on the teacher's desk.
"I have gotten permission to use this on any misbehaving students before calling the guards." said the teacher softly. She slammed the door. "Silence!" Her command rang through the classroom, which fell silent.
So yeah. English was pure torture.
Not that lunch was any good either. The food was disgusting, and Hazel was on tenterhooks, waiting for her name to be called. Annabeth had said it wasn't so bad, but Hazel was definitely nervous. She poked at her lunch, then jumped when a small group came over.
"Hi, can we sit here?" asked a redhaired girl.
"Sure." answered Annabeth, her eyes flicking over the others, a girl with a green headscarf, a boy wearing(for some odd reason) a Union civil war coat, a large, bulky guy, and a blond guy who actually kinda looked like Annabeth.
Lunch went by fast, as they chatted, and so Hazel jumped when the intercom boomed, "Hazel Levesque, report to the counselor's office." Hazel stood up, uttered a quick "See you later" to the others, and headed to the office.
Upon arriving, she saw a guard standing next to the door.
"Name." he grunted, staring at her.
"Hazel Levesque." She answered.
"Go on in." he snapped.
She stepped forward, opening the door and slipping through. The counselor was a skinny woman with a ginormous beehive of black hair and super-long fingernails. The lady smiled.
"Hazel!" she exclaimed, her hands moving toward the thin folder on her desk. She flipped it open and pulled out the single sheet of paper.
"Quite a strange case, indeed. You turned up out of nowhere at the age of thirteen, and then you disappear again, and now you're here!" she trilled(AN: I am fond of making unpleasant women trill.) "How curious, really! I've been looking forward to talking with you! Can you tell me where you were born?"
"I was born in New Orleans." Hazel answered quietly.
"Well, that's odd! I suppose we'll just have to see how you act around others and such! I know this is short, but you can leave! Head back to lunch, it hasn't ended yet!"
Hazel quickly got up and left, heading back to the lunchroom.

The others were confused, but they let it pass. It was time for math, and Percy had progressively been getting paler and paler as they walked. They all entered the math room, which was a total mess. As they chose seats, the door opened and the teacher walked in…
Cliffhanger. Sorry.
