Argyros' POV:

I look up from my mostly eaten food to see one of the biggest bullies of the streets. She's big and burly, more muscle than anything else. Figures they'd be here today. I did not want to get in another fight, not in front of Percy, but I also wasn't going to let them walk all over me. I stay sitting as I wait for her to come over, and I continue to sit as she stands above me.

"Can I help you?" I ask with mock kindness and respect. I place my food in my lunch bag and clasp my hands together.

"Sure you can filth." The leader, Groda, sneers. "Give me all your money and the rest of your lunch. You don't deserve to have any of it."

"And why do you get to choose what I do or don't deserve? Is it because you feel like you need to compensate for something?" I know that I shouldn't taunt her, but I couldn't resist.

Groda balls her hands into fists. She takes a step forward. "I'm the leader of the streets for a reason Mutt. Don't forget who's in charge."

"Oh I haven't. I've just never much liked authority. I mean, that's why I'm here." I motion around me. "I break the rules, do what people say I can't." I pause for a moment while I stand. Groda's face starts morphing into an angrier expression. "That being said, I'm not going to listen to someone like you. I'm keeping the money that I've obtained and I'm definitely not giving you me meal for the day."

I notice people are starting to notice the scene that's starting. I have to avoid getting into this fight if I'm not going to be expelled. I can't watch over Percy if I'm not allowed in the school.

While I'm distracted looking around, Groda gets free of her goons and throws a punch straight to my face. My arm flies up on reflex and blocks the punch. I duck down and throw my leg around to try and trip Groda. She tries to avoid my legs, but because she's so big she's slow and just makes my job easier.

Once Groda is on the ground I step back and glare down at her on the ground. "Leave, and don't bother me again until I at least get back home. I'll continue to kick your ass then." I growl lowly.

I don't pause to notice the confused looks of everyone else and the angry look of Groda as I walk over to where everyone else is to see Nancy Bobofit had been pulled into the fountain Percy is sitting on. I mumble a curse under my breath and run over. Percy is starting to walk over to the museum where Ms. Dodds is waiting at the entrance. She got over there way too fast. Everything about that woman screams danger to me.

I look over to Percy's best friend, Grover I think. The kid looks really nervous. I can see and smell the sweat on his face. I look over to the other teacher and frown. He's not doing anything but reading under a strange umbrella attached to his wheelchair.

Deciding trust my instinct, I race up the steps and look inside. They're not in the front entrance which is strange. Why go farther than here if she just wanted some privacy. Following my instinct again, I start my way back to the greek section of the museum, a strange feeling of anxiousness in my stomach.

I pick up my pace and when I finally catch up to Percy and Ms. Dodds. The horrible teacher is changing and morphing into something horrible. She's morphing into a Fury. Wonderful. Just what I need today, a demon from the underworld.

I was about to jump in when Brunner and Grover appear in the doorway. Grover looks mortified at seeing me and Brunner looks concerned. I'm about to jump in again when Brunner throws Percy a pen. It transforms in the air to a shining bronze sword.

I'm worried for a moment that the sword will hurt Percy, but he manages to catch it and clumsily slices through the Fury. I'm about to hurry over to him, but Brunner stops me.

"Hurry back to the front, pretend this never happened." He mumbles to me as he turns his wheelchair around and starts back to the front. Grover follows skittishly behind him.

I take a deep breath and sigh. The less he knows the better, and the less I have to fight off. Deciding it'd be best for Percy to not see me again, I slip out of the area and hurry back to the front courtyard.

It take what seems like forever to get back to the school. The time after lunch is slow with an even slower bus ride. I end up sitting next to this strange lady that I've never seen before. Everyone claims she's been the math teacher since the beginning of the year, magic of mist I guess, but she's not very good at keeping me from almost falling asleep.

I give Percy a quick goodbye with a small gift I made on the way back to the school. Hurrying back to my room, I do everything I can to avoid everyone in the school. I sneak silently into my room only to find my roommate trashing the dorm with her friends

I mumble a swear under my breath and try to sneak to my room. Just my luck, I get a pillow that slams into my head. I then proceed to stumble back and slam my head into a wall, passing out.

I end up waking up in the nurse's office, my vision blurring into focus. I sit up and look around the familiar room. I always have to come here if I get caught after a fight. Lucky for me, I have an internal clock and know that it's about 9:30.

I groan as I swing my legs off the bed and try to stand, falling back down to sitting on the bed. 'Damn it.' I think. 'Mild Concussion. I'll have to rest for the next few days.' I stand again, this time staying up.

I get back to my room and warily look around for my roommate. Hurrying to my space, I take down my hood and run my nails over my head. I slip on my favorite winter hat and crawl into bed, closing my eyes and falling asleep of my own accord this time.

Sorry for being a little late this time, I promise I'll try to be more on time next time. School overwhelmed me more than I expected.
