Daughter Of Chaos

CHAPTER 4: Pairs

Natasha POV

Today I woke up early cause I did want to be late like yesterday. I even rushed my mother which was impossible unless you were determined. I reached school at 07:30 which meant that l had time to visit the school library. It was so grand and beautiful only because it had my favourite books, Greek mythology. I love such stories because I had been told about them by my mother at a young age.

I went by the shelves which had Greek mythology and took a book out, I went to sit by the library chairs and started to read the book. It was about my favourite god, Poseidon, I just loved the way he was able to control water.

I read till the second chapter, then the bell rang for school to finally begin. My first period was with Mrs Crutch, she would be teaching me French. I walked in and took my seat next to Jacques. We greeted the teacher and the class began.

We learnt the figures of speech in French and even learnt how each sentence should be written, to my surprise it was very easy even if it was my first class, I seemed to learn everything at a fast pace. In the middle of the class sessions the girls named Emilia and Mikayla would giggle or laugh for something.

Mrs Crutch did not seem to mind. Her name was just scary but she was a very nice woman. That class got over and then it was time for math. I walked with Jacques to the next class, we continued to chatter about what movie we had watched the previous night.

We reached the class and sat at the back next to each other. We helped each other with math problems and stuff. The sir was very strict but okay if you just did your work. He was like, "If you don't wanna do your work there's the door. If you don't have your book here there's the door, if don't wanna learn there's the door."

I did not seem to mind cause I did do my work. Jacques seemed to find it funny because he mimicked the sir's voice which made me laugh, Jacques and I gelled well, he was so easy to speak to. The bell rang for break, I ran out cause I was really hungry. Well, I needed to eat now and I was very afraid to eat in that sir's class. I even forgot his name.

I went looking for a quiet place to make a phone call, to make an order on pizza for tonight. I also called my mother to confirm. When l was finished I went to sit by the cafeteria, all the places were full except one place. It was by a boy with jet black hair similar to mine but mine was way darker. I walked up to him nervous to whether he will allow me to sit.

"Hi, may I sit?" I asked nervously. "Sure." He answered as he signalled for me to sit down. "And you are?" I questioned as I sat down. "Oh, I am Perseus Jackson." He said. "Hey! You are the boy that sits in front of me in two of my classes, awesome to meet you!" I said excited. He smile then continued to eat his food.

I took out an apple and began to eat. I remembered that I had not completed reading the book about Poseidon. Perseus's eyebrows creased, I too returned the creased eyebrows. "What up dude?" I asked. "Oh, sorry, but you interested in mythology?" He asked. "Yah! Poseidon is like my favourite god, he is like the best for me." I said now very excited, mythology always got me going.

"What about Zues?" He asked with a smile with an expectant answer. "Oh Hades no, he's just is just an overdramatic Casanova." Percy laughed out really loud. Whatever I said seemed to please him. This was the first time I had heard him laugh, or even smile. "I have a feeling me and you are gonna get along pretty well." He said and I had not noticed, but his eyes...

They highlighted a sea green colour when he was happy, and when he was sad the would become dark. "Your eyes..." I breathed, "Is something in my eye?" He asked and I slowly shook my head, "Is something behind me?" He asked now with a scared face and I shook my head and he let out a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry but this is a going to be little awkward, but can I take a close picture of your eyes?" I asked and he gave me a confused look, "What?!" He laughed.
