The next morning, I woke up feeling tense. I went to the bathroom, took a bath, brushed my teeth, got dressed and went downstairs. I went down to eat breakfast and saw Sadie holding a cereal bar in her left hand and writing something on a piece of paper with her right hand.
I took an apple and went to her. "Morning." I greeted. "What are you-
"It's for the trainees so they won't panic thinking that we got kidnapped and turning the Brooklyn House upside down searching for us." Sadie answered.
I laughed remembering the memory, Sadie laughed too.
"Are you guys just going to stand there laughing?" a familiar voice said.
I looked behind us and saw Zia wearing a very different outfit, she usually wears traditional Egyptian clothes but today she wore a white sweater over a black tank top, jeans that reached her knees and pink converse. She lookeduh. Good.
The three of us went outside and saw a white car with Bast in her human form waving to us. We went inside the car and headed off. I saw Sadie's side bag but didn't bother asking why.
We finally arrived; we stepped out of the car. Bast followed suit then gave us each phones.
"I thought we weren't aloud to have phones, enemies could track us."
"It's safe." Bast said. "Now, go on. Remember you're here to find some clues. Good Luck!"
The three of us nodded. "Later!" Sadie waved bye to her and we all went to the entrance. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it was going to leap out of my chest… but it didn't. I walked through the halls to the classroom.
I went to my first class which was History. I sat with a boy who had jet black hair and sea green eyes. Lenses? No. Doesn't seem like it. He had an aura around him. I decided not to say anything. He was twirling his pen around and was squinting at the board as if he couldn't read it.
"Okay, class! I'm Ms. Horrendous. Since, today is just the first day. I would like you to introduce yourselves. Let's start with the person you're sitting next to. Okay, you may start !" The teacher told us we had to introduce ourselves to the person next to us.
The boy who had sea green eyes turned to me and smiled giddily. "My name's Percy Jackson but just call me Percy." He still had a tight grip on his pen.
"Carter, Carter Kane." I replied and gave out my hand to shake his. When we shook our hands, electricity ran through my arms. We quickly pulled away from each other. We got awkward. I cleared my throat, "Uh, are you wearing lenses?" He glanced at me, "Uh, yeah? Hey, dude. What does that say in the board?" He pointed to the sentence on the board. "Oh, it says; Welcome my dolls and dogs. Enjoy your upcoming school years." When I said it, I raised my eyebrow at the board. Seriously? Dolls and Dogs? No wonder her name's Ms Horrendous. I then looked back at Percy, "You… have dyslexia?" He scratched his head slightly, "Yeah. Kinda." I nodded and said nothing more. It was really awkward. I could feel his aura strongly. He smelt like the ocean. Not to sound weird and all, but I could smell it from my distance.
Then the whole lesson just finished like that. We had to talk about ourselves, only that. I went out the classroom when I saw Zia waiting for me. I went to her and asked "Where's Sadie?"
"Maybe still at class."
"Let's go to the cafeteria." I nodded. We headed to the cafeteria and managed to find a table unoccupied.
