Percy's POV
-Hey, Guys! Let's go?-I asked the brothers Theodore.
-Yes!-Dylan answered while the other two nodded.
-Where are we going?-Thor asked.
-To the mall.-I answered with a shrug.
-So…I heard you six are cousins?-Paolo asked.
-Yeah. We have a pretty big family.-Jason said.
-Someone else from your family is coming to school with you?-Dylan asked, strangely with a bit of concern.
-Yeah. Our…cousins? Yeah, distant cousins,anyway, our distant cousins are coming too.-Hazel said.
-What are their names?-Paolo asked.
-Hummm, their names are Annabeth, Frank, Leo, Reyna, Meg, Piper and Grover. Grover isn't our distant cousin, he's just a friend, actually.
-Oh.-Paolo said.
The brothers exchanged a worried glance, but I just didn't understand why… What are they hiding? Anyway, by that time, we got to the mall.
Hazel's POV
-So, are we going to buy something?- I asked.
-I don't know. - Jason answered.
-What about we eat McDonalds?-Nico asked, hopeful.
We all chuckled and went to eat at McDonalds.
Thalia's POV
After we ate, I remembered that I had to meet with lady Artemis, so I said"I just remembered that I have to meet with my sister, see you guys at the apartment" They all said their goodbyes and I went to meet her.
Jason's POV
When Thalia went to meet Artemis, I remembered that I had to check the construction at camp Jupiter, so I got up and said "I just remembered that I have to meet some friends about… a project, see you guys at the apartment." I said goodbye to them and left.
Hazel's POV
After Jason and THalia left, the Theodores looked at us with curiosity and Paolo asked:
-What did they mean with "see you guys at the apartment."?
-Well, we don't have a house in New York, so Percy is letting us stay at his mom's apartment. -I explained.
They nodded in understanding and glanced at each other, "strange" I thought.
Nico's POV
I saw the brothers glancing at each other, they looked sad. But why? When I was thinking, I remembered that Persephonetold me to go to the underworld after class and to bring Hazel with me. "Hazel and I have to meet our stepmother." Then we said our goodbyes and shadow-traveled to the underworld.
Percy's POV
After my cousins left, I decided to try to make friends with them.
-So, what do you like to do?- I asked
-I like to bungee jump-Thor answered.
-I like to stay quiet.-Paolo answered.
I nodded and asked "What about you Dylan?". He looked at me and grinned.
-I like to swim.
-So do I! - I exclaimed.
Dylan's smile grew wider and the other brothers smirked, strange…
-So, tomorrow my cousins will arrive and go to school with us. What about going to school together? - I asked
They exchanged worried glances but Dylan said they would meet us at my apartment. Then I remembered that my mom said that I had to go home right after school, so I explained to them that I had to go.
-Ok, see you tomorrow, Percy!- Dylan said. And the other two brothers waved.
With that, I went home.
Zeus's POV
After Perseus left, I hissed at Poseidon.
-What were you thinking, Poseidon?!
-What?-He asked cluelessly.
- Go to school with the most powerful demigods?-Hades hissed.
-Well, we are going to have our classes with them, so what is the difference between going to school with them and having the classes with them or just having the classes with them?
He did have a point.
Hades's POV
-Hello, dad and uncles!- I said someone high pitched scream at us.
-Aphrodite!-Poseidon exclaimed bwelwiledly.
-What are you doing here?-Zeus asked.
-To talk to you, of course!-She said.
-Talk about what?-I asked.
-About you predicament.-She answered as it was the most obvious thing in the world.
We gestured to her to continue.
-Well, your wives are taking care of your domains, and everything is fine at olympus. And the demigods may find out your true identities, so be carefull.
-And when will this… situation end? - Poseidon asked.
-In a year or so.- She shrugreed. And flashed away, leaving us dumbfounded and thinking the same thing. You've got to be kidding me!
