Mortals Meet the Demigods (No Mist)

Markos Katsaros

Today I have to show around a new student here at Miller High school. I have no clue who this new student is besides that they are male. I don't even have a clue why I have to be the one to show them around.

Oh, hello. I forgot to introduce myself, I am Markos Katsaros. I have thick brown hair, tan skin, and vivid blue eyes. I am a senior and I have a bunch of friends here at Miller. My two best friends are Percy and Clarisse, yet those two seem to constantly get mad at each other.

I just realized what time it is, I better get up to the office so that I can show around this new student. I would hate to be late, if I was, I can only imagine what the office staff would think of me.

I quickly made my way up to the front office. I stopped at the door and looked in through the windows and saw a guy who was probably about my height, he had shoulder legend sun-bleached blonde hair tied back into a loose man bun, freckled tan skin, and ocean blue eyes. I strode into the room and I walked up to the front desk where Ms. Mayor was sitting.

"Ah, hello Mr. Katsaros. I am glad that you could make it to show our new student around." Ms. Mayor said, then she turned her attention to the new student. "Mr. Katsaros, this is Mr. Papadopoulos. Now if you could please show him around, he happens to have the same classes as you, so it should be fairly easy." Then she walked off and sat back down at her desk and busied herself in work.

"Hi, I'm Markos, I guess that I am supposed to be showing you around today so if you just want to follow me that would be great," I said, trying to not let my annoyance get the best of me. We walked out of the office and started down the hall towards math class side by side.

"Hello, I'm Lester. Nice to meet you," He said, a bright smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you too," I said and flashed a small smile.

"Do you have many friends?" He asked cautiously.

"Yes, my two closest friends have all their classes with me so you can meet them once we get to class," I said, leading the way down the hall. We walked in silence the rest of the way to class. I stopped at the door of our math class and opened it and walked in, Lester trailed behind me.

"Mr. Thompson, this is Lester Papadopoulos. He is a new student here," I said, introducing the new student to my teacher.

"Well nice to meet you, Lester. Markos you can go sit while I catch Lester up," Mr. Thompson said. I nodded my head at him and walked back to my spot. I looked around for my friends and saw that they were not in class yet. About a minute later Percy and Clarisse came running through the door. Once they saw the new student they immediately stopped and stared at him.

"Percy, Clarisse what have I said about this, go sit," Mr. Thompson said, clearly frustrated. Percy and Clarisse walked back towards me, talking in hushed tones. Once they sat down Lester came over to sit by us as well. I decided that this would be a good time for introductions.

"Percy, Clarisse this is Lester. Lester these are Percy and Clarisse, my two friends that I was talking about." I said, trying to start up a conversation.

"We know who Lester is, don't we Percy," Clarisse said, a smirk on her face.

"Yes we do, so Lester or should I say, Apollo. Say, how is my dad?" Percy asked a smirk on his face as well.

"Thanks for blowing my cover Percy and your dad is fine he just won't shut the hell up about you and your wife and kids. And Clarisse, Ares is fine as well and he is still proud of you. While I am at it I am gonna go back to my Apollo form. Also, the gods will be here any minute so close your eyes." Lester said a bright light flashed around him. I stood gobsmacked and confused at what had just happened. Percy and Clarisse on the other hand were looking very agitated.
