New Knight in Town

Bets

Hi. This was written one or two weeks after the news of ebola spreading to NY. I just hope it doesn't spread too much.

Disclaimer: I do not own PJO and Tenkai Knights. I also do not have ebola.

Gen POV

I do not look like an emo. Or do I? I don't know, haven't really noticed my looks whenever getting ready. And Gen isn't a weird name. It sounds cool! All these thoughts were running around my head when Serafina told me my name was weird and I looked like an emo.

"What do you think everyone's reaction gonna be like? I bet you five drachmas that Toxsa and Ceylan are gonna be dramatic and gasp, while Guren and Chooki are just gonna looked surprised!" Serafina exclaimed. "I bet that they're just gonna looked surprised," I said calmly.
We shook on it.

Serafina POV

I was the first person to enter class. So I was waiting in classroom for about five to ten minutes for the other students to come in. Guren came in earlier than Ceylan, and Gen came in later than the two. I'm pretty sure that this is some kind of routine for them.

I still haven't forgotten my bet with Gen. I glanced at him, and saw him staring at me. I smirked at him and mouthed, you're going down. He rolled his eyes and shook his head. He's conveying that I'm childish, but what about him? Last time I checked, he was also childish, before . . . forget that thought.

Later, Hestia walked in. But there was another person with her. "Students, this is your new student teacher. His name is Mr. Alan." The guy had ginger hair, sparkling white teeth, and was wearing a T-shirt with gym shorts. Hm.

"I haven't taught kids in a while, but I'll try my best!" he exclaimed, sounding a bit like Apollo. While everyone else (except me and Gen) were clapping, I crossed my arms, leaned back into my chair, and closed my eyes. I was thinking.

Something isn't right about this teacher. But I just can't place my finger on it.

Gen POV

I looked back and saw Serafina leaning back with her arms crossed and eyes closed. She's probably thinking. And if we're really siblings, then we'd be thinking about how this teacher doesn't seem right. I saw Serafina, who burst open her eyes, and shot me a concerned look. Meet me on the rooftop, she mouthed. I nodded ever so slightly, and she saw. Serafina relaxed and went back to her thinking.

Mr. Alan was what others called fun. But the way he was trying so hard, it just doesn't feel right. He was trying way too hard.

A few games and a scolding later, the bell rang. I headed to the rooftop, and saw Serafina looking over the fence. "Getting a nice view?" I asked. "Something like that," she said. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I questioned. "It's about that new student teacher, Mr. Al-something."

I smirked. She was like Percy in a way. "You mean Mr. Alan. Did you also get the feeling?" I asked her. "Yeah. But I can't figure out why," she muttered, still not taking her eyes off of whatever she was staring at. Then she paled, and her eyes widened.

"What's wrong?" I asked, concerned. She motioned for me to join her. I went over and looked down. And what I saw shocked me.

Serafina POV

I was watching Guren talking with Ceylan. Ceylan walked off, shouting to Guren that he'd be back. And then the air around Guren shifted.

It kept shifting until he looked like Percy. I must've paled, because Gen asked me, "What's wrong?" I just motioned for him to get here, and he walked over. He saw who I was looking at and his face morphed into a shocked one.
