*Percy Jackson*
While walking down the hallway I tried to repress the embarrassment from being seen crying by two strangers who had been trying to capture me. I thanked my lucky stars (or, properly, my unlucky/occasionally lucky stars) that I had gotten good at lying.) I had made it seem like it wasn't a big deal that they had seen me crying, but the exact opposite was true. It was everything, my possible enemy now had one of my weaknesses. The fact that I had nightmares could be used against me to get me to talk. So that's why I acted the way I did, like it was no big deal, even when it was.
I darted my eyes around, storing in every turn and sign I could in my memory, so I could escape if I needed to, even though I was probably being taken to their leader...Wow, that sounded like something off of an alien movie. I almost laughed at how alien basically explained me, even though I was a half-blood, I was basically half alien because the Gods were pretty much a force outside of nature. Aliens. I again almost laughed at what their faces probably would have looked like if I told them that they are practically aliens. Zeus's face would've been hilarious. Just thinking about it made me snicker against my wills to keep quiet.
The flag dude looked back at me and raised an eyebrow at me suspiciously. "Sorry," I apologized. "I have ADHD, so my mind comes up with random things. Like, for example, my thoughts somehow turned over to aliens and how people would react if I called them that." I snickered again at the faces that would be made at that comment. "Priceless."
Both of the flag dude's eyebrows raised now as he said, "Oookaaay..." It sounded like he was feeling a bit awkward at my behavior, I couldn't blame him...I mean I had been crying only moments before and now I was laughing like the world's funniest thing just appeared in my brain...which it did, by the way.
*Mentally laughing hysterically at Zeus's face*
It then went into an uncomfortable silence, which put my ADHD in to hyper drive. I started to turn my head look around, my fingers started tapping on my thighs, then I started humming the last song I had heard, which was from a commercial about the Lego Movie. The flag dude looked back at me with annoyance.
"Are you seriously humming 'Everything is Awesome'?" He asked incredulously.
I nodded, "It's the last song I heard, so it just came to mind. Besides, the silence was killing me, I'm not good with quiet... or keeping still for that matter. I wonder if it's a side effect from ADHD?" I mostly asked that question to myself. "It probably is..." I answered myself.
"Any other disorders or things we need to know about?" Cap asked me.
"I'm also dyslexic, and I'm pretty sure I'm not allergic to anything... and I hate seafood, so whatever you do, don't feed it to me." I answered, the last part wasn't really necessary, but I thought they should know. I still couldn't look at seafood the same way after I found out I pretty much had to protect all sea life, and since Bessie, of course, so I never ate any. Cap raised an eyebrow at that, but shrugged in a way that said he had heard weirder, which I respected him for, he didn't judge me like I know a lot of other people would've.
We finally arrived at a door, Cap opened it, then stepped inside and held the door open for me. I thought it was kind of weird that he did that, but I didn't comment, because, hey, goodness knows how much weirder stuff I've seen. So I just raised an eyebrow at him, and shrugged in a 'who am I to judge' way. I shoved my hands in my very messed up jean's pockets, which were pretty much holding together by a couple of threads on my legs, and I thanked the Gods that there were no rips above my thighs. Goodness knows how embarrassing it would've been if they asked me to explain why I didn't have decent enough clothes on to hide my undergarments. (Undergarments... what a strange and unique way to say underwear...)
