Percy Jackson And The Girl No One Expected

Chapter 2: Percy And I Are Losing Our Minds

I stared at Percy with wide eyes. "Um." Was all I could get out. Did that really just happen? Did my math teacher really just turn into a monster and try to kill Percy? Percy looked at me with his jaw to the floor, his hands were shaking so bad he dropped the sword pen thing and it hit the floor with loud "ping!" I walked over to it and picked it up. "Was this—?" Percy nodded his head,"Yup."

"Did that happen or am I just crazy?" I asked him. He looked at me with his sea green eyes, "That really just happened. We totally just killed our math teacher."

I let out a shaky breath, "What do we do now?" I asked him. He shrugged and said, "Go back to lunch?" I handed him the pen and we walked back through the museum in silence. When we got back outside, storm clouds had covered the sky and it had started sprinkling. Mr. Brunner was exactly where he was earlier, with a little umbrella over his head. Percy nodded to me and the walked over to Mr. Brunner. Me on the other hand, I didn't want to go anywhere near our Latin teacher. I walked back over to Grover who was nibbling nervously on Percy's apple. "Where Mrs. Dodds?" I asked him. He looked at me like I had lost my mind, "Who?" He responded, but he hesitated before answering. But then Nancy walked over with a sneer on her face, "I hope Mrs. Kerr whipped Percy's butt." My breath quickened, "Who?" Nancy gave me that same look Grover had given me, "Our math teacher! Duh!"

I took a few steps back, I looked around for Percy, He was standing on the museum step and had gone completely pale. I ran over to him, "Percy, I am totally freaked out! No one seems knows who Mrs. Dodds is! They all think our math teacher is some lady named Mrs. Kerr!" I was shaking so hard now. Percy just nodded, "Mr. Brunner said the same thing." I sat on the steps and Percy sat next to me and we just sat there in silence until the bus pulled up to take us back to Yancy Academy. Usually Percy always sits next to Grover on the bus, but this time he walked right past Grover and sat next to me.

The next few days were the weirdest of my life. They were spent trying to cram a years worth of studying, into 3 days, springing Mrs. Dodds name on student to see if they were playing some kind of sick joke on me and Percy but everyone was convinced the math teacher has always been Mrs. Kerr. And spending lunch with Percy to try and figure out what the heck happened. I was sitting outside in the park area when I saw Percy storming over to me. He slumped down next to me and put his head in his hands. I glanced at him, "Are you okay?" He shook his head. "I got expelled." I groan, "Percy, you were so close to making it a full year! Exams are tomorrow!" He shook his head again. "I know." He said glumly. "Promise you will look after Grover next year? I don't know how he'll survive next year without me." I stared out at the lawn and didn't respond for a few minutes. "What did you do to get expelled?" I asked. He sighed, "I called the English teacher an old sot." I stared at him for a second and then burst out laughing. After a second Percy started laughing too. "I don't even know what it means, it just sounded good," He said through gasps of air. I laughed so hard I snorted, that made Percy laugh even harder. "Hey guys, what's so funny?" I heard Grover say from behind. I turned around, "Percy called the English teacher and old sot and got expelled!" I said through giggles. Grover just stared at us then said, "How is Percy getting expelled funny?" Percy and I looked at each other and started laughing even harder. Grover mumbled something under his breath and then sat next to us with a small smile on his face.

The next day, I woke up groaning because I had, had another nightmare about Mrs. Dodds, and because it was exam days. I was not at all prepared and was totally going to fail every class. Well, maybe not Latin because I had been studying up on a lot of mythology stuff since the museum. I got through most of my exams and only had my latin exam left right after lunch. I went right to the spot I sit at with Percy and Grover, but Grover wasn't there today. When I got close, I noticed Percy was really pale. I slid next to him, "Hey, what's wrong?"
