CHAPTER 4: Twins, and Now Red Heads?

ANNABETH'S POV

My plan on surprising that Kelp Head was executing itself perfectly. I had hoped that the rest of us that were coming, came in small groups as to add more build-up, confusion, and intrigued reactions from Percy. So far, it's going great. I didn't mind about his reaction to it either. A perfect reunion. He'll just get an even more baffled expression as the day goes on. Well, that's why he's a gods forsaken Seaweed Brain. My Seaweed Brain, and happily put.

We were walking down the hall when I spotted two raven haired cousins of his standing in front of their lockers. I pretended not to notice.

"So I translated everything into Ancient Greek after she told me, so I wouldn't have to keep asking random people to help me."

He grinned, "Always a Wise Girl."

I laughed, swinging our arms back and forth nonchalantly. Yes! He still hasn't noticed them. Almost there… just have to keep going and divert his attention away from them until we're there. "So… how's the hero been, being a junior and all?" I was actually curious about this one.

"Well, the classes aren't so bad, well… some of them, but otherwise it's been fine. Paul is my teacher. That, I'll admit, is still weird. I always have the urge to call him Paul, if not, Mr. Blowfish." I gave a small chuckle at that. "I'm also the captain of the swim team," he stated proudly, jutting out his chest and putting his chin up mockingly. I laughed at his silly childishness.

"Cheater." I snickered. "And you better watch out for that ego of yours. Anymore fame and I don't think that head can get any bigger."

"Ha-ha. Very funny." He replied sarcastically.

"I'm just kidding," I said truthfully and added quietly, "You're actually very modest." I felt my face heat up then looked away.

Percy grabbed my chin to make me look him in the eye. "Why thank you, Wise Girl." He then bent down and gave me a short and sweet kiss. We were interrupted shortly after when I heard a gagging noise right behind me.

"Ugh! Guys! Please no PDA in front of me. Hunter here," said voice exclaimed with disgust.

We broke apart and I lifted my head just in time to see the exhilarated look on my boyfriend's face. A slight blush frosted his cheeks, with green eyes wide. I could feel my own face heat up as well. He recovered quickly and was replaced with that lopsided grin of his. "Thals! Nics! Oh my gods!" he said, giving them a bear hug and then ruffling Nico's hair afterwards, much to said cousin's dismay. Then he got that cute, scrunched up eyebrow look that comes across his features when he gets confused. "Wait a minute… what are you guys doing here?"

Thalia broke out with a meaningful smile and shared a mischievous glance with Nico, of whom was still grumbling and fixing his hair with a faint blush.

"Oh you know, just getting our stuff out of our lockers then getting a move on to our first class," said Thalia.

"So you guys go here." Percy stated enthusiastically. He seemed to be buzzing with excitement and joy.

Nico nodded, embarrassed. "Yeah, Persephone wanted me to go to a normal school. Beats being with Demeter trying to force-feed my cereal all day 'just because you're so skinny and pale,'" he explained, trying to mimic his aunt's voice, and failing failed miserably I might add. "θεοί γαμώτο I am not like that…am I?"

We just couldn't take it any longer; Percy and I burst out laughing. Thalia joined shortly afterwards. Nico just scoffed at us and looked away.

When we recovered, Thalia just shrugged, "I'm finding girls to become Hunters for Artemis since we lost so many in the war."

We all bowed our heads respectfully in silence at that.

After a few seconds Percy spoke, breaking the silence. "Anyway, back to a lighter note. What classes do you guys have?"

"Well, you probably don't have many classes with us, since I'm a Sophomore and he's a Freshie," replied Thalia, punching the said 'Freshie' in the arm.

"Okay then, See you guys later. Bye," I said with a wave.

"Bye!" they said, waving back, as I walked away with Percy in tow.

PERCY'S POV

I was so happy! Yet confused at the same time. My cousins are here. And so is Annabeth! I can tell this year is going to be one of the best. And it's my third year at Goode! I felt on top of the world. Like nothing could go wrong.

Annabeth and I walked to our next class, which so happened to be Paul's, English. We then walked into the room to find him at his desk waiting patiently for school to start. "Hey, Paul," I greet, striding towards him.

He looked up and smiled. "Hello Percy. And it's Mr. Blofis, remember." His eyes twinkled, teasingly.

"Yeah, I know…" I grumbled in reply.

I looked up at Paul, his expression flashed with knowing as he glanced over to the blonde who stood next to me. But as soon as it was there, it was gone, so I just waved it off as nothing.

"Annabeth, so nice to see you! How is everything?" He got up to give her a swift hug.

"Nice to see you too, Mr. Blofis. Everything's great. Just some more planning and all that has been destroyed can be rebuilt!" she exclaimed excitedly, with a dreamy look.

"Well, that's good to hear."

A shrill bell rang, signaling the start of class. I rubbed the back of my neck; it was kind of awkward standing there in front of everyone while my girlfriend was conversing with our teacher, who happens to be my stepdad. All of that makes it a much worse situation.

"We should probably go to our seat then, huh, Wise Girl."

She smiled up at me. "Sure thing, Seaweed Brain," and went to the back of the room with me trailing right behind her.

Annabeth sat down in a seat and I sat down next to her. Just as I sat down a voice spoke out from the seat behind me, "Still going on with the nicknames, eh?" I jumped, startled and caught off guard. I almost took Riptide out. Almost. I turned around to give said person a death glare as another spoke sounding just like the individual I was staring at.

"Didn't think to see us here Perce?" I must've had a shocked look on my face.

"Stolls! Gods γαμώτο, you guys just scared the σκατά out of me. Anyways, does anyone want to tell me here why more people from camp are seemingly transferring at Goode randomly?"

I was so confused. Where did everyone come from? Why? But I was still ecstatic that they were here in the first place. I was wondering why there are so many people from camp are here, and that they are, in fact, going to be here for the rest of the year. Since the Stolls are here it calls for some awesome/annoying pranks, fun times, and inappropriately timed jokes. Cool, just what this year needed…sarcastically said. Hey, I wonder if they had anything to do with what I heard about Mr. Bergen covered in paint. Gods, I need to keep my head in check. ADHD is messing with my mind. Ανάθεμα, Ugh!

"We're here for school and see one of our best friends-" said Connor, clapping me on the back, effectively snapping me out of my reverie.

"Why? What did you think?" Travis completed.

I saw Annabeth snicker out of the corner of my eye. I gave a scowl then returned my attention back to the brothers. I smiled and said, "No clue."

"As to why there are more people here-"

They glanced at one another before the other replied. "We don't know." I had a feeling they know something I don't and just weren't telling me.

They shrugged, turned around, and started talking silently behind me while Paul continued on about William Golding's Lord of the Flies. We were going to start that book the next day. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I wouldn't be able to even read it let alone understand it. I just kept to my thoughts until the period was through while Annabeth was taking notes beside me. I plastered a frivolous grin on my face. Just like a daughter of Athena to do those things. My grin then turned sly, maybe I could "borrow" her notes...

The bell rang for the end of class, so I walked up to Paul to say goodbye and strolled out of the classroom with a certain grey eyed beauty on my arm. I simply smiled at her as I inquired what her next class was.

"I have U.S. History, then AP Calc," she stated.

"Good! I have History next too! But I have Pre-Calc instead… Hey! Tutor me?" I implored, rubbing the back of my neck. I gazed into her eyes, pleading for a yes.

"Of course, Seaweed Brain! Where would you be without me?"

"Ummm…"

"You're so oblivious."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Not!"

"TOO!"

"Okay you two, Enough! Gods, guys, do you always have to fight?" We spun around to see a certain red-head glaring daggers at us.

"Rachel?" I queried. I stood there, staring at her in bewilderment. I didn't even answer her question. "Wha- ho- wh-." I cleared my throat. "Are there more people I should worry about popping up out of nowhere?" I glanced at Annabeth, knowing she knew something. I was getting suspicious... See! I'm not that oblivious! When she didn't answer I sighed then peered back to Rachel. "What are you doing here? Other than to be at school of course."

Said girl looked at me. "Well I pleaded with my dad that I didn't want to be at that all-girl, preppy school and he finally gave in. Since I went here before, I wanted to see my old friends that I had left. I decided to come back. I also need to be near camp in case of a prophecy..."

"Oh, well that's great! Glad you're here."

"We only have a minute or two to get to class. Come on Percy, we should go," called Annabeth, starting to walk away. I think she might be a little jealous of her still. After a few steps she turned back to the paint-splattered girl. "What class do you have next?"

"Oh! I have U.S. History. You?"

"Looks like we all have the same. Come on, RED, we don't want to be late now, do we."

And with that rhetorical question aside, we meandered to our next class side by side, discussing some fun times we've had at camp.
