Ultimate Percy Jackson (No Greek Mythology)

Chapter 13- Fire Alarm

Deciding to skip lunch not really wanting to talk about this morning with Flash with Peter I asked if I could go outside to work on something with principal Coulson.

He frowned and said that in order to work outside he needed an adult to watch me. Biting my lip debating who I might get principle Coulson continued.

"But seeing how a lot of the teachers are working I will watch you. I needed a break from the paper work anyway." he said with a shrug as I looked at him shocked and then with relief.

"Thank you Sir." I said meaning it. What I wanted to work on was some of the things from the office. Covering for Chiron was harder than expected. Normally he took some of the paper work, most of it, because he was the head of the place but because he was injured I had to actually do all of the work.

The reason I wanted to be outside was mostly because of how nice it was. Plus, I didn't want to be in a stuffy room where Flash might get me. Better chance outside with many exits than inside that pretty much only has one exit.

"No problem." Coulson said grabbing a few folders off his desk as well as his suit jacket that was hanging on the chair.

We were outside quickly and I found a place underneath a tree and plopped down onto the soft grass and grabbed the papers I got from the quick stop from my locker.

Principal Coulson wasn't to far away and after making sure I was in his eyesight went to work on some of the papers he had.

My eyes drifted from sheet to sheet mentally calculating money transfers and some peoples offers to work with their company.

A pen in my mouth that I sometimes took off to circle a few things or write a signature and notes I went through the papers slowly but efficiently.

"What exactly are you working on?" Principle Coulson's voice making me jump as we were working on our own things silently.

grabbing the pen from my mouth I responded not exactly looking at him but rather the paper I was about to circle something with, "Just some work from Olympian Enterprises. With Chiron...hurt and all. I have quite a few things to do." I said circling the price range and writing a note on the side that it's wrong.

From the corner of my eye I saw Mr.Coulson frowned, "Aren't you a little young?" he asked

I got this question a lot and I always responded the same, "I insisted on helping. I was going to be head of it sometimes. Might as well learn the basics." I said capping the pen hearing the warning bell go off, "Thank you Principal Coulson." I said sincerely as I put the papers in a pile and started toward the doors.

"If you want to do this again let me know. I'd be happy to accompany you." he said also making a pile of his papers.

I nodded and quickly went toward my locker and grabbed items for my next class. I was just about down when a fist landed next to the locker beside me making me drop the items back into my locker.

"What do we have here fellas." The voice of Flash Thompson. I noticed that his voice had a tinge of anger and swallowed down the rising panic as I realized I was alone in the hallway.

"I think we have a dreeb here." One of the people who hang out with Flash said.

I shifted as Flash looked at me annoyed and I knew that my comments before were here to bite me in the arse.

"Get him." Flash growled.

Hands reached out to grab me to either pull me toward the bathroom or most likely near a trash can time seemed to slow down for me, not really but my instincts took over.

I dodged a hand that was near me, it slamming into the locker as the guy cursed, I put my foot against the locker and as another hand was near me I pushed myself upward off the locker.

Using the air I grabbed the top of the locker pulling myself up toward it and used both of my feet to actually push off of the locker.

Hands started to head upwards and in midair I twisted and turned and made myself land on my feet on the ground. Unknowingly doing a backflip off the lockers and took off running.

Running down the hall with the others shouting to get me I took off toward the front doors. My body shaking from adrenaline I was near the doors when they got me cornered.

My mind was going off of adrenaline I saw a fire alarm. Instantly to get of the situation I pulled it, blue spat went on my hand, it's a way to tell who pulled the alarm in case it was a prank.

I went toward everyone who came into the hallway. Losing Flash in the crowd I ducked into the bathroom and instantly put my hand the water.

I knew it was dangerous but I needed the stuff off my hand. Using the water carefully I got all of the blue paint off my hand just before all the students were out. Making my hand dry I quickly caught with the rest of the group of kids.

Just as I got outside I heard sirens. As the firefighters got here and talked with Principal Coulson I saw Flash in the corner of my eye.

I made eye contact with him daring him to tell Mr.Coulson why I pulled the fire alarm. Knowing he wouldn't say anything that would get him in trouble I melted back into the crowd.

Soon the fire fighters left after making sure there really wasn't a fire and Principal Coulson hosted an assembly to talk to the students about the prank.

My heart was still beating with adrenaline when I picked up the items from my locker and quickly made it to my next class.

My heart beating for the rest of the day until the next period which was the last period of the day. That was until I got called down to the principle's office.
