High School With The Romans (a Percy Jackson Fanfic)

I went to Juvee

Thalia POV

I know what you're thinking. Isn't being Roman and taking Latin technically cheating? Yes, but hey, just because we're being forced to go school doesn't mean we have to like it. Also I am Greek, unlike all my friends here so yes I will have to do a little work to get Latin in Latin class, but I'm already better off then most of the mortals, suckers.

As we entered the classroom Jason had finally shut up, which was good or I don't think Reyna would've stopped me from strangling him. Then we saw who was in our class. Captain Dickface himself.

"Well,look who's back, couldn't stay away from me could you ladies,"He said and flexed his muscles. I just laughed, my biceps were bigger then his.

"Sit down Mr. Colton," The teacher growled, I already liked him. He was a tall, relatively young teacher with short black hair and a beard. "Welcome, I am Mr. Hutcherson. You must be the new students." Several of the kids were craning their necks to look at us, staring at us like we were ZOO animals. I bared my teeth and they averted their eyes.

"Wait don't tell me," The Mr. Hutcherson said walking over and surveying our group. He pointed at me, "I'm guessing you're Thalia," he said and turned to Reyna, "which makes you Reyna," he looked at Jason for a second "Jason, and you must be Frank," he said and turned to shake hands with Frank."My brother served with your mother, its an honor to meet her son." Frank looked a bit starstruck, but smiled.

"Well,he's a good guesser," I muttered to Reyna who nodded. Mr. Hutcherson turned to smile at me and Reyna.

"That and this is a small school so news travels fast. I do double duty as the music teacher in the afternoons so I'll see you two again in 6th period." He said, making me raise my eyebrows. This guy seemed a bit too perky to be a teacher, the old demigod senses kicked in,telling me not to trust this man. "Take a seat, we're about to get started." He said happily and we all sat down hesitantly.

"Thalia,you're hopeless." Reyna exclaimed as I stared hard at the paper we'd been handed. We were supposed to be translating it from English into Latin, but as you probably got I'm not good at this.

"Well It'd be easier if the fricking letters would stop changing, screw dyslexia!" I yelled and threw my paper. Reyna sighed and snatched it out of the air, having already having finished hers, and pinned it down between us.

"Look, it's not that hard, really." She said and I pouted.

"Easy for you to say, you're fluent in Latin," I complained and she rolled her eyes.

"You know if it's so hard you could just translate it to Greek first and then to Latin," she said. I froze, I hadn't thought of that.

"Well,thank you miss smarty pants." I said and she smirked.

"Anytime, delinquent." I rolled my eyes and got to work on that, finding that it was easier, and took half the time.

"Thalia,"she paused, as if wondering what she was about to say was offensive.

"What?"I said and looked up at her through a couple stray locks of hair that had fallen into my face.

"how many schools were you kicked out of?" she asked and I tilted my head and counted.

"Well lets see, 2nd grade I set lose 12 frogs in the classroom because I couldn't stand the thought of them being cooped up. In 3rd grade I got lost on a field trip and robbed 3 men. In 5th grade I accidentally summoned a bolt of lightning to strike my teacher, in 6th grade I was in juvee because they thought I hadn't struck my teacher with lightning, I had tried to shoot him. In 7th grade I ran away and got turned into a tree," I said as if I was reciting a definition from the dictionary. Like none of that was strange or worrying. The look Reyna gave me was priceless though.
