Nobody Said It Was Easy

Chapter 4

A/N: What's up you guys! Super long chapter. I hope you're ready to buckle down for some fluffy feels! I promise, the real action will get here soon.

And now for my exciting announcement... (drum roll please)...

I'VE GOT A NEW COVER!!! Yeah!

And it is all thanks to the brilliantly talented @Green-wings! She offered to draw it for me, and I must say, I think it turned out great! What do you guys think?

Now if you guys also read my other story, you'll know that I've got a couple changes going on over there too. So go check that out once you're done here.

I think that's kind of all. This chapter is roughly 4,000 words...? Maybe...? I'm not entirely sure, I'm not all that tech savvy (you're talking to someone who writes their stories out on Notes in my phone and then copies and pastes it into Wattpad). Cringing yet?

So anyway... As always, I hope you love the story. Feel free to give me a vote or drop a comment and I'll be sure to reply as soon as I can.

I love you my lovelies! Stay nerdy! :3

Percy has no idea how it was possible, but somehow, Bruce had managed to get her a meeting with the principal bright and early the next morning.

She had known from the moment she met her new uncle that he was an important man, but this was the first time she'd actually seen it in action.

Regardless of how he'd managed to do it, she was now roped into a meeting at a school. One of the things she hated most in the world. (besides Kronos, Gaea, and all the monsters that ever had or ever tried to kill her and her friends of course).

Before she even realised what was happening, she was strapped into the back of the very expensive-looking black car that had first delivered her to the manor, and was on her way to the meeting.

She had opted for simple comfortable clothes when Alfred had ushered her into her room to get changed. And despite his protests otherwise, was now wearing a comfortable oversized navy blue hoodie and black leggings with her old converse.

She considered this a victory (it was very hard to stand your ground against Alfred).

As soon as they arrived, Dick ran off carrying his bag and wearing the god-awful uniform required at this preppy school.

She glared at Bruce over the top of the car, but he just looked away innocently. It seemed he had conveniently forgotten to mention that it was the first day of school.

Everybody was immediately staring at her as she stepped out of the car with the Bruce Wayne. You would think she was a different species or something.

She glared harshly at a few of the older boys who were staring at her more appreciatively, and eventually the others got the message and stopped staring. Though she could do nothing about the gossip mill that started churning not even two seconds later.

She sighed and closed the car door with a decisive slam.

This was going to be a long day.

"Mr. Wayne!", the pudgy man she assumed was the principal cried in greeting as soon as they walked into the office.

"Philip", Bruce responded, nodding his head cordially.

"Come in, come in!". He waved them into his office and closed the door behind them which she was thankful for. She could still feel the stares of the students behind her drilling a hole into her back and was eager to get away from them.
