'This can't be a happening!' That was the first thought as I took my stood in the front of the class with my siblings, about to introduce ourselves to the class. Everyone was staring at us like they were trying to figure out if we were good enough to even breath the same air as them. I watched as Will sat down by his boyfriend, who in turn scooted closer to him and glared at Elli. I almost laughed when Ms. Jackson/ Sally/ mom/ person started talking.
"As you all can see we have four new students joining us today. Would you like to state your name and one thing about yourselves?" She stepped back as Mila stepped forward.
"My name is Mila Lani Puanani Jackson. Yes, I know it's a weird name, our mother named us that before she bailed on us. Anyway, one interesting thing about me is that I love to ride horses." As she stepped back, whispers broke out in and a girl with punk attire and black hair and bright blue eyes stood up.
"Not really sorry to interrupt, but what are 'horses'?" She stood standing while she waited for us to answer.
We all shared a look before I went forward since I'm the oldest. "Horses are creatures created by the god of the sea, Poseidon. Yeah, we all hate him but horses are only one of two ways to get around where we're from."
"Where do you live? That doesn't sound very civilized."
"Oh it's much more civilized, more than here even. Now before any more questions are asked, lets continue with introductions. My name is Percy Alexandros Kaimana Koa Jackson. One interesting thing about me is that I'm a boy who looks athletic but I really don't play any sports. At all." Some people laughed at that while others were still hung up on horses. I stepped back and Kai went up.
"I'm Kai Kapena Kahula Jackson and I don't like people!" That's just like him. He stepped back and it was Elli's turn.
Everyone staring at her made her really nervous as she grabbed my arm and hid behind me. I could hear Mila try to consult her to talk to people for a change. "Elli! Come on, you don't have to be shy."
Kai laughed and shook his head. "The girl hiding behind Percy is my twin sister, Elizabeth Melody Hokuikekai Jackson and as you can see she is super shy around new people. Don't worry though once she gets to know you, she's crazy!"
"KAI!" Elli shouted behind me before squeaking and hiding her face again.
He laughed again, "Alright now anymore questions?"
A couple hands rose in the air. We choose them at random. "Who's your godly parent? I've never seen you before." A boy with blond hair, blue eyes, and scare going down his face.
"We are legacies of Hecate; we we're only found only a couple days ago so we haven't been introduced to any royal families or gone to camp." I answered.
Now a girl with dark skin, curly hair, and gold eyes raised her hand slowly. "How old are you? I've seen you in a couple of my classes."
"I'm 17, Elli and Kai are 16, and Mila is 15."
More questions are asked and they were answered until Will's boyfriend raised his hand. "How do you know Will if you were only found a couple of days ago. Surely, Will would have brought you to school or camp." Everyone either stared at us or at Will making him scoot away from Nico as punishment for calling him out, causing Nico to regret his question.
We just stood in place not knowing what to say. The only good lair is Elli but she's too shy- "Travel." My other two siblings and I looked at Elli in surprise that she spoke out. She walked in front of us and over to in front of Nico and Will. "We've traveled all our lives too different parts of the world. Even to parts any of you are scared to go. We met Will one day when we were passing through the Kingdom of the Sun. We all talk about our lives and soon became best friends. We've kept in contact over the years." She walked over Will and pushed him over Nico. He looked up at her in surprise. "And you haven't changed at all, Will. We asked him to keep us a secret because we wanted to see as much as the world as we could. We even took Will to see one of the greatest things in the world."
People in the class were even more interested as to where we've gone. "Aww. I want to go somewhere cool too." And the girl with gold eyes asked "Where did you take Will that's so great?"
There was dead silence. "The sea."
Everyone started laughing because they thought she was joking. But it slowly started to die down. "Wait- you're serious? Then how are you still alive."
Mila came up and asked "What do mean? The sea is a peaceful place. As long as you don't mean to harm it, you'll be fine." Everyone just stared.
"She's right." We turned to look at ms. Jack- Sally. She has been quite the whole class. "I remember when I was your age, we used to go to the beach- the sandy part by the sea, every weekend. We were just fine. But things do change and now it's not safe. You five must have been lucky to not have been killed." Just then the bell rang. "Now get to your next class everyone!"
