Back to Percy's POV

After a few more days, Toni sent me off to the infamous Francois Dupont High, the source of a large percentage of akumatizations before Hawkmoth *ahem* sorry Shadowmoth was defeated and arrested by Ladybug and her miraculous team. Though they lost a comrade in the process; Chat Noir, who's actually quite cute.

I waited until the halls emptied a bit, before I made my way to the principal's office.

The principal was a rather...strange individual. And my class teacher, Ms Bustier, was rather bubbly and cheerful. She reminded me of my baby sister in that regards and I missed her terribly.

After I got my stuff I was taken to my class. I waited impatiently at the door, counting the cracks in the ceiling and floor and comparing the numbers to each other. I was about to calculate the product of the sum and difference when she called me in.

I stood in front of the class uncomfortable at the stares, but managed to mask it with my trademark smirk.

I noticed a flash of red at the corner of my eye and saw a rather good looking guy. Oh who am I kidding? He's hot!

He had shoulder length messy red hair and had a red jacket on. I almost couldn't stop myself from wrinkling my nose. Why'd it have to be red? Why not blue? Or even green? Why red???

But his eyes were a beautiful calming turquoise that anchored me. I stared at them throughout my introduction and only snapped out of my daze when she told me to sit next to him.

Nathaniel? Cute name.

I sat next to him and closed my eyes, my head hurting at the words swimming.

Then he offered to help me study. He's so sweet!

During our lunch break, he pulled me over to a dark haired girl with blue eyes.

"Mari!"

"Hm?" She glanced up at us from her sketching, her eyes filled with curiosity

"You already know our new classmate Percy" she nodded "Percy, this is Marinette Dupain Cheng"

"Oh! Hello!" She wrapped me in a hug and smiled at me. "You look so much like your mom!"

"Really?" She chuckled "That must mean you've met her then"

"Yeah actually. I visit your bakery a lot. It's the best"

"Why thank you" She has the most angelic smile I've ever seen, second only to Apollo.

"Hey!" I turned to see a smiling girl in glasses "My name is Alya Cesaire and I and my friends wanted to say hi" she motioned to a group of people, among which were a girl with green eyes and brown hair done in twin sausages and a boy in a red hoodie and choker. His hair was as dark as Marinette's but he had green eyes.

"Um hi" I waved awkwardly, nervously fiddling with my pendant. It was a gift from dad. It was a translucent circle ring with silver fishes on one side.

"Hey" the sausage girl waved shyly "I'm Lila Rossi" I don't like this bitch. They introduced themselves to me, but I didn't pay attention to them. I could feel my new friends tense at their presence and that made me frown. "Look that's great and all but could you move back a few steps, you're choking me" they froze in the introductions, but did as told "Thank you"

Lila's smile wavered at my obviously fake smile and Alya frowned "Why're you so rude?"

"I have every right to be rude though" I stated, my head cocked "I don't really care about you guys so there's no need to be in your good graces"

"That's so mean" a petite girl with blonde hair in a pixie cut and dressed in pink mumbled with a pout "How would you make friends with that attitude?"

"I don't want any more friends than I have now, they're a hassle" I waved her off "So could you leave? Thanks"

Most of them glared at me before leaving, but a tall muscular guy with blonde-bleached tips in his black hair winked at me which made me cringe outwardly. I shivered. It's been a while since someone openly winked at me, gross.

"Are you guys okay?" I asked, noticing their silence

"Yeah, we're fine" Marinette replied with a stiff smile, before I could refute her, the bell for our next period rang. I pursed my lips and decided to leave it be for now

Heyyyyy

I'm back guyss. I'll try to write for the week before I have to head back to school

Life is sad.
