"Alright class, we are watching a documentary."

The entire class groaned as a whole. I swear I sometimes wonder if they secretly practise it.

"But we always watch documentaries!" The boy sitting at the very front groaned in protest.

The girl sitting beside him slapped his arm while he muttered a tiny 'ow' looking at her with eyes like a baby seal's.

"Your teacher is away today." I said, walking up to them and standing in front of their desks. "And I am taking over so we are watching a documentary." I looked at the blonde haired girl next to him. "No slapping in class. Please apologise."

She turned towards the guy grumbling something that sounded vaguely like 'stupid mortal' under her breath and smiled at him. "I'm sorry seaweed brain."

"It's okay Wise Girl." He said, kissing her quickly.

"No kissing in class either." I said with a smile, walking back to the desk. The class snickered.

The boy groaned. "Oh man." That made the girl laugh silently.

"Could someone please put on this CD while I mark the roll?" I asked, sitting down and taking our the folder. Another guy from the front, sitting at the end of his row got up and walked to computer, snatching the disk that lay on my desk on his way.

A few minutes later, the video was ready to play just as I had finished taking attendance, in the process learning that the black haired guy and the blonde haired girl at the front were called Percy and Annabeth.

"Alrighty then, let's start shall we?" I said, turning my chair around a little so that I could see the screen at the front. The boy at the computer pressed play, shut down all the lights and returned to his seat.

The screen was projecting a blue watery reflection, looking like the camera was under the sea in the deepest part of the blue oasis. The title slid on. David Attenborough's Creatures of the Deep Ocean.

I groaned in frustration. This was not the correct disc. I made to get up but the class protested against it. This was meant to be an English lesson. Not a Creatures of the Deep Whatever.

"Nope, we are are watching a proper documentary about grammar." I said, moving over to the computer.

"Oh c'mon!" Someone from the back shouted. "We learnt grammar in like first grade!"

"And I suppose that's why you wrote 'meet u @ 2 2morow afternoon.' in your mid term English test?" I said.

"Well- wait, how'd you know that lady?"

"Mr Blofis left the marking to me as it is due to be finished tomorrow and a little more respect to your elders next time." I said irritably.

Percy lowered his mouth to Annabeth's ear discreetly and whispered, "I swear if she starts saying thou and thee next I'm gonna have a dam problem."

"You are never going to tell me that joke are you?"

"Nope."

"Hate you."

"Love you too."

Annabeth scowled at him.

The group of girls at the back broke out into a chorus of giggles which sounded like a verse sung by dying squirrels to me.

"Alright enough. Let's just watch this." I finally said, giving up all hope and dripping down into the chair again.

Percy punched his fist into the air. "And Percy Jackson wins again! From the Minataur to the Furies. He can take on Gaia and" he paused for dramatic affect. "The teacher."
