Chapter 5

Percy pov

As I walked to lunch I couldn't stop thinking about my history class. The day already didn't start off so great. We woke up two hours late and we did get to school we had to take a physical test to see how advanced our agility and reflexes were. We all toned it down so didn't look to suspicious, of course Elli came in last because of a stupid certain goddess. Blackjack was in my backpack because he's tired and wasn't too happy about being woken up. The others were walking by my siblings as we finally went to class. Oh I forgot to mention that our school allows that we bring our Spirits if they be in the form of a small animal, like the ones you can fit into one hand. So that's why all of our Spirits are in the form of kittens.

As I was saying, by the time I got to the lunch room it was half full. I scanned the area for my siblings to find them by a table to the row of windows. I walked over and sat down next to Mila. "Guys you won't believe what I just heard in History."

Kai groaned "Oh my gods! You're going to be one of those people who go around sprouting every single thing you know. Honestly I thought it would be more Mila than anybody else."

Mila glared at him. "What's that supposed to mean?"

A voice spoke from behind me "It means you have a hard time keeping your mouth shut."

Her face got red with anger. "Who do you think you- Will?"

"WILL!" Elli, Kai, and I shouted as he sat down next to me. Will Solace is the son of Apollo and a prince from the kingdom of the sun. Will has Golden blonde hair and light blue eyes. When we were younger Apollo would bring would bring by sometime when he rode his sun chariot across the sky. My dad and Apollo were always close and we all agreed to keep the visits a secret. But suddenly that all stopped when Will started Middle school and summer camp.

"By the Gods, I haven't seen you guys in years! I've missed you so much!" Will smiled at us.

"Same here man." Kai high fived Will.

"It's great to see you, Will." Elli gave him a shy smile.

"I see you're as shy as ever." He laughed as she ducked her head.

"Some things never change." I said. Just then a white gerbil stuck its head out from Will's backpack on the table. All at once mine and my siblings Spirits jumped out to greet Will's. "And I see Angel is still the same as well."

"Yeah. So what are you guys doing up here? Did something happen in the sea?" Will started to whisper with a serious look on his face.

"NO! No- everything's fine." Elli stated. "Our father wanted us to have a chance at a somewhat normal life so he sent us up here to go to school. By the way, our cover is that we're Legacies of Hecate."

Will looked relieved. "Thank goodness. Why Hecate?"

"Our mother was a daughter of Hecate."

"Your mother?"

"Dad finally told us about her." Kai said.

I looked at Will a bit before asking "Will, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Why do people hate Atlantians?"

Mila looked shocked like the twins did. "What? What are you talking about?"

"Last period was my History class like a said and they were talking about our people and what we supposedly did." At this point we had leaned towards the table and were whispering.

We all looked at Will. He sighed and looked down. "I only know what my father told me. Apparently Zeus didn't liked that Poseidon just walked away from the council just to be with his family so he wanted to make it seem like Poseidon was in the wrong and make everyone hate him instead of Zeus. So with the help of Athena and everyone else who was against Poseidon, created this story that we all learn in history. There's more to it but Apollo didn't want to say any more than that."

We just sat there for a bit before Elli spoke up. "Ok. We all know this is bull shit. It has almost been five years since we last met. What's up with life?"

We all relaxed and sat back in our seats. Will laughed before replying "Nothing much. Camp is great, I'm head councilor of the Apollo cabin, got a boyfriend, grades are good-"

Kai stopped him "Wait. What did you just say?"

"Grades are good."

"Before that."

It took his a couple of seconds to remember. "Oh! Yean, I have a boyfriend now." We all just stared at him. Will's eyes widened "Wait- you guys aren't- you know."

We suddenly knew what he meant. "What? No Will. We aren't homophobic! You should know that especially that way our bodies work."

He laughed and shook his head. "Right, sorry. It's just ever since we came out some people in our school haven't been the friendliest. Of course our group of friends helps but they aren't always around. Like when I go home for the holidays, some people in the kingdom don't want a gay prince. We aren't allowed our powers outside of class and I follow the rule but sometimes they don't." Will looked a little broken.

I placed a hand on his shoulder "Hey, those guys are just complete assholes. Just because they don't like the way you live or because you don't bow down to them makes them angry so they think that you need to be 'taught' a lesson." He smiled at all of us.

Elli placed her chin on her fist and smirked at him. "So who's the lucky guy?"

He laughed again and pointed at a table in the middle with a hell lot of people. "He's the boy with black hair, olive skin, and wearing the bright blue hoodie. Oh look, he's looking at us. Wave at him." We did and he just glared and turned his head away. Next to him I could see the girl I sat behind in history. By the Gods, she's so beautiful.

I could hear Elli laugh. I caught her eye and she winked at me. I blushed as we turned back to Will. "His hoodie is totally throwing off his look of doom and gloom." Elli said.

"That because its mine. We share a dorm room together so he tends to wear mine a lot."

"Do you guys happen to have a roommate?"

"No, why."

Elli gave the biggest evil smirk I have ever seen. "Soooo, how far have you guys gone?"

Will buried his face into his hands. He was blushing all the way to his ears. "I should have known you were going to ask this. To answer your question, no we have not had sex yet. Now what dorm are you guys in."

Mila answered before Elli could pester him anymore. "We actually have a house not too far from here. It's really nice, lots of open field."

"The one on Shaffer Rd? So you're the ones who bought that house. One of my friends is totally in love with that house. She's a daughter of Aphrodite. She's all upset now that she can't have it."

"Why would she need the house if she lives in a palace?" Kai asked

"She's one of those people just wants things just to say she has one. She wasn't always like that."

"What a waste! If she's not even going to use the house why have it? Other people need homes you know!"

Elli just shrugged. "Oh well." Just then the bell rang. "Dang that was the longest 20 minutes of my life. What's next? Greek?"

We all left the lunch room. "Which level are you in?" Will asked

"We're all in level 4." I answered

"Great, you guys are with me! I can introduce you to some of my friends if you want."

"Or boyfriend?" Elli mocked

We entered the room and I could feel my heart stop. Will, Mila, and Kai moved to find some seats. I could feel Elli's hand reach for mine and gave it a squeeze. The lady in the front of the classroom walked up to the three of them. They didn't even notice anything.

I dragged Elli out of the room and reached in my pocket for my time sheet. I went to the fourth period block and froze when I read the name. Elli looked over shoulder and whispered "No way. It can't be."

"But it say it right here." I spoke through numb lips. This minute bell sounded and we walked back into the room. As we did the teacher walked over to us.

"Hello, I'm your Greek teacher Sally Jackson. Please call me Sally; Ms. Jackson seems too formal for someone like me.
