Jack O'Connor

NO MIST 

It has been eight months since my best friend Percy Jackson disappeared without a word or a goodbye and not even Mr Blofis the English teacher here at Goode and Percy's stepfather would tell me anything so after a while I gave up trying to find him, this was just before the start of the summer holidays and now it was back to school after a summer filled with relaxing and stupid sibling arguments, oh and finding out that the Greek and Roman Gods were real which totally sent my world spinning.

I didn't expect anything exciting to happen in school today with it being the first day back after summer and everyone still having on their summer brains so I knew that the teachers wouldn't give us too much work, the only thing I knew for sure was that people would be talking about the news that broke over the summer about the Gods and trying to prove that they were sons or daughters of a god also known as a demigod or a half-blood

But what I didn't expect was to see Percy Jackson casually walking down the corridor and a trail of girls following him gawking at him and following him as if they were lost puppies as ig he had just come back from summer vacation

"PERCY JACKSON!" I yell before I could stop myself

Everyone around me fell silent and Percy turned to look at me. 

Fear quickly flashing through his eyes but as soon as it was there it was gone and he kept his swirling sea-green eyes on my blue ones as he continues to casually walk towards me. After reaching my locker he turned around and leant his back against it propping his foot up against the red metal box

"Hey man" What's up he says using his easygoing voice like we were just casually greeting each other after the weekend as he ran his hands through his pitch-black hair before returning them back to his pockets

"Where have you been?" I hiss lowering my voice realising how loud I had been earlier

Percy's features froze and he opened and closed his mouth a few times like a gaping fish before his face become neutral again and he started to talk "You know family stuff" That didn't really explain it but his tight voice and facial features made it sound like he didn't really want to talk about it so I let it drop and moved onto another point of conversation: The Gods

"Hey, did you hear that the Gods are real and have children called demigods or half-bloods?" I ask him and his eyes widen in surprise but he doesn't really look all that shocked which was completely different to how I acted when I found out "and now the school boards are making us have mandatory self-defence lessons along with Greek and Roman culture classes to appease the Gods." 

This didn't seem like news to Percy but he nods anyway

Then the bell rings and Percy checks his schedule and we both have Greek

* * *

The day continues and Percy's behaviour has my eyebrows raising up to my hairline of course he struggled with the normal academic subjects like maths and English because of his ADHD and dyslexia but he aced everything in Greek culture class and in Roman culture he only hesitated a little bit

But it wasn't until seventh-period gym that I put all of the pieces together

The whole senior year shuffled into the gym we were all tired and not wanting to do gym this late in the school and I glanced at Percy expecting him to be the same as the rest of us as he usually is half asleep by the time we get into the gym instead when I glanced into his direction Percy was smiling widely and his eyes were alight with happiness

Coach White walked in dragged a rack of swords with him before leaving the swords in the middle and turned to us "Welcome back from summer vacation rugrats I hope you enjoyed yourself relaxing and chilling. But today we are going to get back into P.E and today we are doing sword fighting a demigod camp from long island leant us some wooden swords and being generous they also said that we could have a coach to teach us the proper manoeuvres as I can't swordfight myself, come on in Miss Annabeth Chase"

Walking through the gym doors was a beautiful blonde headed girl with startling grey eyes that seemed to analyse us as she walked up to Coach White, Coach White tells her a little about the class as she nods along before he left the gym leaving her alone with us "Hello, as you may know, I'm Annabeth Chase and I'll be teaching you sword fighting and self-defence I expect you to listen to me or I will whoop your butt without even batting an eyelid" As she says this her eyes scan us as hard as steel and honestly she looks kind of scary and I notice Percy was flashing her a trademark grin and as she sees this her eyes soften, I thought it was a little weird but I didn't comment

"Does anyone know how to spar with swords and want to spar with me?" Annabeth asks

Only two hands shot up in the air one was a player named Ben and the other one was surprisingly Percy, that made my eyebrows raise to my hairline again and my eyes widen in surprise she gestures to Percy "Go get your sword"

Percy nods and rushes out of the room, coming back into the room only seconds later, he then walks over to Annabeth (who now has a knife/dagger sort of thing in her hand) and holds the sword in his hand. For a minute they circle each other studying each other weaknesses before Percy moves forward and makes a move to stab Annabeth but she just blocks these manoeuvres with ease and she parries with Percy for a while they just do basic manoeuvres however quickly the manoeuvres become more intense and tricker the only thing that tells me who is who is the blurs of black and blonde hair. Finally, Percy ends the fight by disarming Annabeth leaving her defenceless he picks up the dagger/knife and points the two weapons at her neck

"Still the best swordsman in 300 years eh Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth grins

"Always Wise Girl" Percy grins back. What was it with the nicknames?

Everybody in the room jaws dropped as Percy and Annabeth's lips touch in a passionate kiss and I'm pretty sure my eyes popped out of my sockets as they pulled away, something in my mind clicked Coach White Annabeth was a demigod and went to a camp and I knew Percy went to this mysterious summer camp that he didn't really say much about and now I understood why. . .Percy was a demigod

"Percy, what is your title?" I blurt out

"They're too long to say I don't have time to say," Percy says sadly, before walking over to me and looking me in the eye "Look Jack you've been a good friend to me while I've been at good and I'm sorry I didn't tell you who I was but it was too dangerous and now that everyone else knows I'll have to go but I will always remember you"

And just like that he was gone
