How did I not think of this earlier?!

    Mrs. Quatroclasse looked at me steely."Percy, I'm expecting you to keep your temper and to listen. You are-" I stopped listening from that moment.

     I for once was excited for my fourth grade field trip. We were going to a behind-the-scenes tour of this one marine museum thing. I love sea animals! I also like the color blue. Blue food is the best, all other kinds are lame. My mom so awesome that she can make pizza blue. I don't know how  she does, it's freaking blue! getting of track- I mean off track!

       When my sixth sense told me that the teacher stopped talking I nodded"Yes man!" and she didn't even notice that I said man instead of ma'am.

        I ran into the bus and sat next to my friend Jackson Theseus. We thought that it was funny how his first name was my last name. His last name was a Greek hero, just like my first name.

     "You better not see any 'cyclopes' this time."Jackson teased.

      "I swear!That guy only had one eye!"I defended myself. We joked around a bit on the bus and waited until we got to the tour.

     "Okay class, You are going to split up into your table groups and then your tour guide will show you everything." Mrs. Quatroclasse ordered. We assembled into our table groups.

     For my table group I had brown-haired-green-eyed Jackson Thesus, black-haired-onyx-eyes Samuel (Sam) Game,blonde-haired-green-eyed Lauren Smith, Black-haired-blue-eyes Samantha (Sam)Terra, and Red-haired-blue-eyed Sarah Shouder. They were really nice and accepting.

        "Where are we going first?"Lauren wondered.

        Our tourguide- Mr.Posei (who is Poseidon)- who looked a lot like me with his black hair and green eyes listed"First we go to see the coral, then we get to watch their documentary about how they rescued the dolphin, you eat lunch, you see a huge crocodile ,then your whole class gets together to see the shark tank."

      "I like Coral, It's pretty and it latched onto dead fish, consumes it, and uses the fish bones to expand itself. Coral is super interesting!" Sam (Terra) started bouncing, her straight red hair flying everywhere and her blue eyes shinning.

     Sam (Game)nodded"I didn't know that coral ate things."

     Mr. Posei shrugged" It's in a lot of documentaries and books."

      I nodded"Even I know that Blackie." I agreed, calling Sam by his nickname. we call him Blackie because he has black hair, black eyes, and the darkest skin ever. To go with it he wears mostly black and he likes the nickname.

      "Off to see the Coral now!" Mr. Posei ordered cheerfully.

all of the exhibits were really cool! they had a 200 year old brain coral plant! In the documentary, It tells you how they rescued their dolphins Ci-ci and Georgia from a zoo that was abusing them as babies. We actually got to meet the dolphins too! After that we went to a huge tank where we saw a 4.7 metre crocodile that was found in the U.K. Let's just say that he was huge, but there are bigger! This guy was just found by a mango farm. Then we got together with the reat of the class and went to the shark tank.(Croc picture is the one above )

There were a bunch of the three most lethal skarks today. The bullshark, the tigershark, and the great white shark. They were loaded with multiple rows of teeth, and we were just on a metal cat walk above their tank.

"Can we see them eat?" Jimmy Neutron asked."I've heard that Bull sharks get their name from when they sometimes ram their prey first before they bite it."

"Sure, Can you- the black haired kid over there with the blue shirt, press the catfish button? It's labeled."The tourguide suggested. She pointed to a wall with a couple of buttons on it.

I squinted at the buttons, which read"Cathsif"and "Catkalw" thanks to dyslexia."Which one? I have dyslexia." I admitted.

"The one to the left."The tourguide directed.

I'll admit, I was bad at my left and rights. You know the trick where you make an 'L' and left is the way the L is right? Well, I can't tell which L is the right one because of my dyslexia. But, I pushed the one that said "Catkalw".

Then suddenly, The catwalk broke in the middle and it swung into the shark tank like an upside-down drawbridge. Everyone fell into the tank with the three most dangerous kind of sharks.

A voice in my head made a suggestion. "Let's circle them just to mess with them. I wanna see their faces."

I shrugged it off and shouted down"What do I do?!"

"Press the red button and say'Help, in the shark tank!"The tour guide yelled, trying to get the class to calm down and trying to get out of there.

Sam (Terra) screamed in fear"They're circling us! Sharks always circle before they kill!" which didn't help calm anyone down.(author's note: This is me)

I pressed the red button and yelled"Help! We need Help in the shark tank that Mrs.Quatroclasse's class is in!"

"Is it a code purple,orange,red, or white?"

"I have no clue what that means! I'm twelve! the tourguide told me to press a button but I'm dyslexic and I can't do my left and rights so I guessed....."

"I'm sending a team to the- Jeez man, you failed- the Man-eating sharks right now! You are doing a pretty good job in staying calm during a crisis. I'm guessing you have ADD too?"

"ADHD."I corrected.

" Okay, what's your name? I'm gonna contact it to the team and fill out paperwork."

"Persassy Jackson."

"Your real name."

"Persasseus Jackson."

the team arrived and pulled the class out with a pully system, two at a time. Everyone gave me a glare and I gave everyone an apology. I sorta got expelled after that..

-------

"Really Percy? That's unfair for you, you couldn't read the button or tell anything so you got expelled?"My
mom sympathized.

"That's how my luck works."
