Percy Jackson's twin

Helene

You scowl but listen to Grover. You can practically hear mom's voice in your head telling to just try to stay at this school. You slouch back down into your seat and try to ignore Nancy for the rest of the bus ride. 

You finally arrive at the museum. Still peeved but Percy tries to joke with you and you calm down a bit. 

Mr. Burnner leads the museum tour from up from up front in his wheelchair. He leads you through many large echoing galleries, past tall marble statues, by glass cases full of very old black and yellow potrey. 

It astonishs you that this stuff has survived for two thousand, three thousand years.  

He gathers everyone around a thirteen-foot-tall gray column with a huge spinx sitting on top. He starts telling you how it's a grave marker, a stele, for a young girl about your age. He then begins explaining what the carvings on the side mean. 

You try to listen to what he's saying because you think it's kind of interesting, even Percy who usally can't pay attention to anything looks like he's interested, but everyone is talking. And they just won't shut up. Percy trys to tell them to just be quiet and you glare at a partically loud kid but every time  either of you says something Mrs. Dodds would gives you the evil eye. 

Mrs. Dodds is a short math teacher from Georgia. She became your and Percy's Algrebra teacher halfway through the year when your last math teacher had a nervous breakdown. She always wears this black leather jacket even though your sure she is at least fifty. And she is mean enough to drive a motorcycle into your locker. 

From her very first day Mrs. Dodds had loved Nancy Bobofit and figured you and Percy were the embodiment of pure evil. She would always point at you with her bony cricket little finger and say, "Now, honey," real sweet and you knew you were going to get after school detention for a month.
