Believe Me~ A Percy Jackson FanFic

Chapter 4

My whole chapter that was almost done and had like 700-800 words just got deleted.

~Percy~

All I can say is that at least it wasn't a box on the street. It was . . . an apartment. 

I plopped onto the bed, the room was small with a desk and a small dresser. It was probably the only thing they could do on short notice. I unpacked my few clothing into some drawers.

A knock was heard at my door, I thought it would be Leo or Jason because that is who I was living with, but it was my wise girl. She stood there in her pajamas, my shoulders relaxed as soon as I saw her.

"Hey," I said to her.

"Hey," she replied, "Could I maybe, um, stay with you?"

I pouted in confusion, "What does that mean?"

"Um, sleep with you, tonight?" she answered.

I mentally slapped myself for being such a seaweed brain, she looked embarrassed. So, is that why she is wearing pajamas? 

"Of course, let me make some space for myself on the ground, and . . . ," I drifted off. 

"No! I don't want you to sleep on the floor!" Annabeth shouted at me. 

It dawned on me what she meant, "Oh, well, I'm about to go to bed right now." She smiled and crawled into the bed.

I crawled in after her, and wrapped her and I in the blankets that I had. I hugged her into my arms, and closed my eyes.

"Get up! Hermes and Apollo brought us food!" someone yelled at me while shaking me, I looked up to see my wise girl. 

"Good morning to you too," I responded. 

She rolled her eyes and threw some clothes at me. An orange CHB T-shirt and a pair of jeans, I looked up to see she was wearing the same thing.

"They give us food, but no clothing?" I asked.

"They got us all Greek clothing, I'm not wearing that in school. Triton will find us right off the bat," she put her finger to her chin, "does he know what the CHB T-shirts look like?"

I groaned and pulled myself out of bed, "Alright, just let me get changed."

She blushed, and left the room. I got changed and left to go get some food, Hermes was rubbing Conner and Travis' hair. Apollo was talking to Will about something. 

They all turned to me, Katie addressed me, "Look who finally got up."

I just smiled and sat down at the small table. Everyone was here, everybody who came with me plus Hermes and Apollo. 

Annabeth handed me a bowl of Cereal, I kissed her on the forehead. "Thanks," I whispered, and dug into the food. 

I felt my pocket, I know I was doing that a lot, but I was worried. I felt them next to Riptide. 

"We leave for school in about half an hour," Nico told us.

Oh what joy, school. The whole reason I was at the camp in fall was because I could barley get by school with all of the trauma. It really hurt to hear all of those kids have friends and joke about death. 

"Yeah, Okay," I said and continued eating.

We got to school on time, Annabeth got our schedules. I suppose that Hermes and Apollo had pulled a few strings because I was in class with my friends most of the time. First period of today was LA with Jason, Leo, Nico and Will. 

I kissed Annabeth goodbye and headed out to room 114. 

I took a deep breath and turned to Jason, I had been seeing him act weird all day. "What is wrong?" I asked.

He shook his head, "Just, never been to school before."

I nodded and entered the class. The teacher turned to me, she was tall with slick black hair in a bun with a mean snarl, "Who are you? Are you the new students?"

"No, we're the cleaning girls," Leo replied under his breath causing us to laugh.

I put my hand over my mouth and just nodded. She all set us down in different areas,  I was next to Will and Nico. 

"So, what's her problem?"  asked Will. 

Nico shrugged and so did I. "Maybe she's just scared of Percy," Nico teased.

"Hey, Nico!" I replied to him, "I'm not that scary."

"Tell that to all the jocks glaring at you," Will said, "Oh, and the girls eyeing you."

I looked around, Will was right. I turned back to him, the teacher who's name was Mrs. Shannon began rambling on about secrets hidden within messages and how to hide them. She passed out a sheet to us.

I could barley read it, Will and Nico tried helping me, but they could barley read it either. 

"Are you five done, or are you going to take another year?" she yelled at us.

Leo glared at her, "If it means not having to look at you, I'm fine."

The whole class erupted in laughter, Leo looked shocked that he had just said that. Jason stared at him in complete shock.

"You foolish child! You have detention!" She shouted at him.

Jason looked at her now, "So, a teacher can insult a student, but a student can't insult a teacher?"

She had a red face now, "Di immortals!" 

Why did she say that? That was Greek, is she a monster?

The bell rang, and we all ran out of the class room clearly thinking about the same thing. I stopped at the bathroom, waiting for the others. We all regrouped and compared schedules.

"Totally a monster," Jason said to me as we walked to our next class. This time it was Me, him, Annabeth and Piper. 

We got to the room, I saw Annabeth and Piper standing up and talking to these two guys. Wise girl saw me and ran to me, dragging Piper with her. 

"Please Percy, you have to sit next to me! This dude is such a jerk!" she said to me.

I just sighed, "And you wont let me hit him?" 

"No, I don't want you to get in trouble. Just, don't let me have to sit with him, or his friend," she replied. 

I sat next to her, Piper and Jason sat behind us. That boy came up next to me, "You are in my spot, get out of my seat."

"Who are you?" I asked him.

He sneered at me, "Jacob, now move scrawny."

"No, now stop bothering my girlfriend," I spat back.

He just growled at me, and walked away. 

I turned to Annabeth, "Are you Okay? You know what? Don't worry about him, I got you."

The teacher walked into the class room, we all turned to her and tried to focus on the lesson. I just started to fidget with Riptide.
