Off to Paris

Percy didn't mean to. He simply summoned his powers on accident and flooded the cafeteria. He was kicked out of another school yet again. His mom was now sending him to another country, because she ran out of options in America or something. She was explaining it to him but he didn't really pay attention because his ADHD was acting up.
He found himself back at camp half blood saying his goodbyes. Chiron added another bead to his necklace. Not because he'd finished another year but because the bead would allow him to understand and speak French. He would need that soon.
He packed his things and was ready to go, holding back tears as he hugged his girlfriend Annabeth one last time.

" are you ready?" Chiron asked.

Percy nodded bidding fair well to his friends one last time before seeing them vanished, their image was replaced by a cobble stone street. He was teleported to Paris.

Looking around Percy realized what he should have done a while ago. researched the city, for he knew nothing. One thing he did know, was that there was only one stop sign in the entire city of Paris. And that probably wouldn't help him much. He had one day to explore the city before he went to school.

He decided to do that.

Percy also realized he hadn't eaten that day. He was hungry. So first he needed to find a restaurant. ( he did not trust his cooking skills) He wandered down the streets looking for something that looked like a restaurant. He didn't have phone so he couldn't exactly Siri it.

He eventually found a place he knew from photographs. No it wasn't the Eiffel Tower. It was his new school. He kept on walking until he found a place called, La Cafe, and decided it looked worthy of looking into.

He already had a lot of French money so he didn't need to worry about paying for food.
He entered the building and was imediantly filled with the smell of coffee, eggs, pastries and chocolate. A waiter sat him at a table by a window. The waiter left and when she came back she had a water for him.

Probably not the best idea, but he played it casual.

He gave her his order and she left him again. Percy was completely bored. He hated ADHD. He always had to be doing something. He saw some teens in the booth in front of him. Three guys and two girls.

To keep himself from going crazy of boredom, Percy studied them. The three boys sat with their backs to Percy so he couldn't see their faces, so he looked at their hair. One boy by the window had golden blond hair. The boy next to him had dark skin and brown hair topped with a red baseball hat. The one on the end had bright red hair, but he didn't seem to be joining in their conversation. Just doodling.

Percy looked at the two girls. One also had dark skin but her hair was autumn colored going from brown to red at the ends. She had thick black glasses. Her eyes closed she was laughing so hard. The other girl had navy blue hair pulled into two pigtails. She had freckles on her blushing cheeks. Whatever had just happened, she was embarrassed about it.

A different waiter came and brought them their drinks which was probably all they had ordered. It looked like hot chocolate.

They all looked like they were really having fun.

" get this guys, that kids been staring at us for like, 5 minutes now." The girl with glasses said whispering and looking directly at Percy. Percy blushed and looked away. That was awkward. He didn't want to seem strange though he really was.

The teens went silent. Finally they began chatting again. Percy, out of habit, reached for the glass of water. He wasn't looking at it though and spilt it. Instead of splattering his table, it swirled in the air making unique patterns. Percy noticed this and quickly tried to cover it up. But the glasses girl saw it. Man she had her eyes every where.

She made a loud gasp. Her gaze right at Percy. The other teens turned to face him too. There faces turned shocked. The water was dancing in the air. Percy grabbed it, (yes he grabbed water), and threw it back into the cup.

He looked up and saw the teens starring at him, mouths open.

He blushed again. They stared at one another for several minutes with out exchanging a word. Percy's mind raced on how to cover up his act.

"I uh... Did you like my magic trick? Pretty cool huh?" He said. 'Darn that sounded dumb' he thought.

"Dude, how did you do that?!" Said the boy in the middle.

"Can't tell you. Uh... Magicians never share there secret." Percy said and the boy looked numbed yet, thrilled.

"That was amazing! The water looked like it was floating, in mid air!" Said the girl who'd spoken before sounding excited. Apparently French kids really liked magic tricks. "I'm Alya." She continued, " you must be the new kid coming to our school!"

"Uh... I think so."

"Cool! What's your name?" Said the golden haired boy.

"Percy Jackson. Who's asking?"

"I'm Adrien. Adrien Agreste."

"I'm Nino, you seem like a cool dude" said the boy in the middle.

" my names Nathaniel." Said the tomato haired boy.

" and I'm Marinette." Said the girl with pigtails.

"Nice to meet you guys. At least I'll know someone at school now."

"Oh yeah! Your from America! You speak pretty good French." Said Alya.

"Thanks. I uh, took lessons." Percy lied.

The waiter returned with Percy's pancakes and sausage.
"Merci" said Percy which was French for thank you.

The waiter smiled and walked off. Percy began to eat as he was starving and the teens turned back to each other. When he was finished he stood and payed for the food. He also tipped the waiter. The teens stood at the same time to leave.

" hey, uh I just got here today, do you know of anyplace worth seeing? I'm clueless." Percy asked them.

" you got here today!? Omg, we should totally show you around!" Said The enthusiastic Alya.

" oh, you don't have to do that..."

" cmon it'll be fun. We had nothing else to do anyways. Said Marinette and the rest nodded in agreement.

"Oh I guess. Well..." Percy stuttered.

"Oh don't be shy! We should get to know you if your going to our school." Said Nino.

" I uh... Sure." Percy said finally making up his mind. The group walked out of the cafe.

"We're to first?" Asked Alya.

"We could show him the Louvre." Said Adrien.

" he wants to see the city and you want to take him to the museum?!" Alya said shocked.

" No you can't do that! How about we find Adre the i cream man? That would be fun."

" ice cream?" Percy said remembering the hot chocolate the teens just had.

" yeah it takes forever to find him. He's never in the same spot." Adrien said confidently.

" it could take hours!" Explained Nino.

" sounds.... Fun?" Percy said nervously.

And they went off looking for Andre the ice cream man.

"I see him!" Shouted Alya and they bolted after the little ice cream cart. Over the last 3 hours, Percy had grown to like these guys. It felt good to know he wouldn't be alone at school. He sprinted past all of them, with help of his Demigod strength of course. He ran past all but two. Marinette and Adrien. They seemed just as athletic as him. Which was weird because Percy was super athletic being half God and all. When he reached the cart he tripped on a curb and fell.

The ice cream man spar entry was at the Louvre the whole time so they did go to the museum like Adrien offered.

Percy looked up. Marinette was laughing at him and offered him her hand. He took it and stood up off the ground.

Adrien was already getting ice cream.

"Hey Adrien! You and Marinette should share!" Alya shouted as she got closer. Bother Adrien and Marinette blushed madly.

"Alya!" Scolded Marinette.

Alya just laughed.
Percy soon learned that this was love ice cream. Not because of Alya's statement, but Andre the ice cream man told him.

Apparently the man could tell that Percy was a Demigod and revealed to him that he was to. The son of Aphrodite.

Percy was shocked. Not only had he just met a Demigod but he met an adult. Most didn't live long enough with monsters hunting them and stuff.

Percy received his ice cream which reminded him strongly of Annabeth. He missed her already!

The teens are their ice cream and continued their tour of France.

Time passes quickly. Adrien had left a while ago because of a fencing lesson and Marinette had to help in her bakery. So the four continued the tour without them. The sun was starting to set.

" I have to go check in to my hotel now, I guess I'll see you tommarow at school." Percy said.

" oh alright. But first! Let me get your number!" Alya shouted. She always seemed excited.

"I um. I don't have a phone."

" what!" Nino and Alya said in unison.

"Well uh. I left it in America." Percy lied.

"Seriously dude? Just have parents mail it or something." Nino said.

" I guess I will. Well, bye!" Percy said and waved at Nathaniel, Nino, and Alya.

"Bye!" The called in chorus.

And with that we departed.

As Percy walked to the hotel he was staying in, (which so happened to be Chloe's dad's hotel) Percy saw two figures on a roof top. Two teenagers in skin tight suits. One in read and the other in black.

Nothing suspicious at all.

Percy ignored them and found the hotel eventually. He was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

Hey guys, thanks for reading the first part! Please read more when I post it. I intend to soon!
