Percy was being extremely jittery. More than normal and it was starting to annoy me, his ADHD was acting up and he was still recovering from the adrenaline rush of killing a Hellhound.
"Percy!" I yelled, finally sick of his twitchy leg.
"Yeah?" He replied, as if he hadn't been jumping around.
"Stop it! I know you're nervous about going back to your old school but remember, Chiron used the Mist to make sure that no one here remembers you blowing up anything. They just think that you left, okay?"
This was the third time I'd had to reassure him that it was okay. He must be seriously dreading Yancy. He hadn't been like this for any other of the schools that we had been to when we were getting demigods; sometimes the gods personally asked for us. Mostly just Hermes and Apollo though. I mean, Athena sometimes asked but if the "sea spawn" was going she would refuse. My mother had accepted that we were a team but she was still iffy towards Percy.
"Yeah but," he looked down, embarrassed and muttered something incoherent. All I could hear was, "Nan...Bo...fit."
"What? I couldn't hear you?" I said, partly true and partly to annoy him. I wanted to know why he was so jumpy.
"Nancy Bobofit!" He practically yelled, his windblown hair covering his eyes and his face was nearly scarlet.
I tried to contain my laughter. I really did but he was worried about a kid who bullied him when he was twelve? I mean he had faced Kronos, angry Olympians, battled a giant in a loincloth, and held up the sky and he was scared of a mortal bully?
I mean, it's been four years she probably wouldn't even recognize him!
I was still laughing when we got dropped off at the gates. Argus gave me a look like I was crazy and I stopped laughing so we wouldn't draw attention to ourselves. But of course we were stared at anyway for being new.
We walked in the front doors and Percy guided us to the office. Aww, he still knew where he was going! He was fiddling with his bag straps trying to contain his ADHD. I was just a little jumpy though, so I was okay.
"Hello! Welcome to Yancy Academy!" A chirpy blonde said. "I assume you're Percy and Annabeth?"
"Yup." Percy and I said at the same time. We both blushed and looked at each other.
"Aww, you're such a cute couple!" She squealed excitedly.
"Um, thanks?" I asked unsure. Percy and I had only been going out for three months, we just still weren't used to being referred too as a couple because we were used to denying it.
"You are so-ooo welcome!" She was far too chipper on a Monday. "Oh here's your schedule, your guide will be along in a sec." And with that she turned away and started typing on her computer.
Soon a frizzy red head who had on too much make-up and an extremely low vest and was wearing what could only be described as a belt came along.
"Hello, my name's Nancy and welcome to Yancy," she said, sounding bored. She was chewing gum and looking down at her sidekick. When she looked up, I noticed she had dull blue eyes and freckles nearly completely covered by foundation. Her eyes sparkled when she saw Percy, and her back straightened as she licked her lips. She looked at me, frowned, then turned to Percy.
"Well, hello there, handsome!" She said in a voice that I think was supposed to be seductive. I was silently fuming whilst Seaweed Brain just looked horrified. I swear sometimes that he is so dense that cows are smarter than him!
"What's your name?" she asked. My fists curled so tight that I could feel my nails digging into my palms. Not only is she hitting on my boyfriend but she's ignoring me! Typical mortal.
Percy just chuckled nervously. "Don't remember me, huh?"
Nancy just looked clueless. What a bitch. "Um, no?" She asked in an extremely high pitched voice. Grr, she was annoying.
"I'm Percy Jackson," he looked at her, seeing if there was any recognition.
Nancy stared incredulously with her mouth agape, completely forgetting about her sidekick. "No. Freaking. Way." She gave him a full inspection and then glared at him. "You bloody bastard. Why're you back here, huh? I still haven't forgiven you for pushing me in that fountain."
I raised my eyebrows but didn't say anything. Chiron had sworn (okay, maybe not on the Styx) that he used the Mist so no one could remember anything that Percy did. Apparently, it hadn't worked.
"Now listen here," Nancy said in a bossy tone, her hips tilting to the side. "I rule this school and I'll make sure you and your little friend pay for this."
With that, she flounced off, wobbling in her high heels. I wondered if she realized how ridiculous she looked.
"What an angel that girl must be," I muttered.
Percy looked at me and smirked. He wasn't nervous anymore. Neither of us cared if we were at the bottom of the food chain. We had been plenty of times before. Figuring that it would be easier just to forget about the silly red-head, we compared schedules and realized we had the same classes apart from our elective.
We looked at each other and simultaneously said, "Chiron." We didn't have time to ponder on this, and went to our homeroom.
We walked in with the whole class staring at us. We both found seats in the back next to a scrawny boy with his nose stuck in a hardcover book. It wasn't until I plopped down that I was starting to realize how long today was going to be.
Hello fellow readers! I'll try to make this not dull and stick close to what handle-with-special-care wrote. It's Friday (well, in the US that is) and so I decided to update. However, I'll need to fix the chapters, add more adventure and so on and so on into this. May take awhile to update so…
For now, review and tell me on what I should add. See you next time!
