Percy Jackson-Back at Goode high school! Oh gods...

Percy POV pt 1

When I woke up this morning I already knew that I was gonna have a bad day. Today was my first day back at Goode high school since I was 'borrowed' by Hera to be involved in yet another prophecy. Anyways, I know exactly what's gonna happen today. People are gonna see me and wonder why the heck I have so many scars on my arms and face, and I'm just gonna have to think of an excuse because I can't tell them what really happened. Tartarus. Mortals don't know about stuff like that and I'd like to keep it that way. Anyways, I got up out of my bed, got dressed and walked into the kitchen where my mom was making some blue pancakes. Yum! "Morning sweetie!" My mom said "morning" I said as I sat down at the table, "you made pancakes?"
"Oh course! Today's a special day!"
"What's so special about going to school?"
"What's so special about it is that this is the first time that you weren't kicked out of a school, there for you can go back! I think that's pretty special." I smiled at my mom
"Thanks mom." My mom brought in my pancakes and I devoured all four of them.  

Once I was done eating I gave my mom a quick kiss and got in the car with Paul to go to school. We sat in silence for a bit before Paul spoke up "So, are you excited for your first day of school?" I shrugged "not really"
"Really? Why?"
"No reason in particular, just the fact that I have to go to school." That was a lie, I didn't want to go back to school, especially not Goode high school. During my first semester there I was bullied.  A lot. He hoped that maybe the kids wouldn't recognize me. There was a pretty good chance that they wouldn't mostly because I had become more muscular, I had way more scars and I had grown more...mature you could say. So maybe it would be like a new start. Hopefully.

When we arrived at the school Paul got out of the car. I stayed in the car for a moment making sure that I had everything with me, I checked my pocket where I kept riptide. Thank gods it was there. That's all I really needed. My sword. I got out of the car and looked at Goode high school, it looked just like any normal high school. "I gotta go to my first class," Paul said "I'll see you period four, don't be late to my class" Paul joked. I nodded "Okay, see you later." I watched Paul walk into the school then I started to walk around. School wouldn't start for another 10 minuets so I sat where no one was sitting. I took off my camp necklace and stared at it. The beads on the necklace represented the summers that he had stayed at camp, the trident, the Golden Fleece, the labyrinth, the Empire State Building and the newest one which had the prophecy of seven written on it. I sighed at the memory of the war, it reminded me that Leo was missing. Not dead, missing. I must've been staring at the necklace for a while because the bell rang . I quickly put my necklace back on and went to my first class.

On my way to class I noticed that a few kids were looking at my arms. I figured they were wondering why I had so many scars but thankfully no one asked. Once I got to class I sat in the back right corner away from all the 'popular kids' I silently prayed that no one had recognized me. He sat there in silence watching the other kids talk, he pulled his notebook out of his bag. Inside was a picture of him and his girlfriend, Annabeth holding hands and smiling. He missed Annabeth already, he decided that when he got home he would iris message her. He was about to put the picture away when a group of kids walked over to him. He looked up at them. "Can I help you?" He asked with an annoyed tone. "Actually, yes you could." Said a girl who was wearing a pink shirt with some jean shorts, she had on way too much make up. She had brown hair and hazel eyes, percy could tell that this group of kids were the 'popular kids' the girls studied him as if he were a painting "how have we never seen you before, I'm sure I would notice someone as handsome as you." Said the girl with the brown hair. Percy rolled his eyes, 'you have got to be kidding me' he thought. Were these girls actually trying to hit on him? "Oh, I'm new here" percy finally said. The girls smiled "oh, well then welcome to Goode high school. I'm Samantha," said the girl with the brown hair "and these are my friends Brittany and Alison" she pointed to the girls beside her, Brittany had blonde hair and Alison had black hair. "How would you like to sit with us up at the front of the class?" Asked Samantha. Percy stared at them in disbelief, did these girls actually think that Percy would want to sit with them? "Uh, I'm Percy. And thanks for the offer, but I think I'll pass. Have a nice day" percy looked back down at his notebook and closed it, hiding the picture of Annabeth. He put it back in his bag and looked at the girls. They had baffled expressions on their face as if they were surprised that percy had turned down their offer. "Excuse me?" Samantha said "you heard me," percy said, "nice meeting you" although it really wasn't "bye now" the girls walked away with surprised expressions on their faces. Percy knew that they were gonna talk to him again later, 'why me?' He thought.
