Chapter 2
3rd POV
They all walked for a little while and when they got to the city they split up into groups to not look suspicious, though they could've just gone with the school field trip routine. Each of the girls had something that they wanted to do or see/catch up on. Thalia and Percy followed Artemis as she entered a public school to sign them up during the second week of school. Artemis turned and gave Percy something just before the entered the school.
"You keep this on and it'll cancel out any supernatural effects that mortals can't see through the mist, exempt a few, but you'll be fine" she then entered the building and Percy quickly clipped it to his pen, and the pin molded with the pen and made the effects last for as long as he had his pen in his pocket or willed the effect to stay on or come off.
They were signed up for school and heading to their classes before the first bell even had rung, under fake names as well.
Percy=Wolfson Steel
Thalia=Talia
(not very original I know)
His first class was Gym, and Thalia went to Chemistry, on the other side of the school whereas PE was in the middle of the school, and when Percy went into the class he couldn't help but examine all the people. Seven were lazily sitting on the bleachers chatting, seven were walking around the gym already, and one, a rather lithe kid was running around the gym already. Percy looked at the board at the front and it said six laps around the gym and then stretching. Percy smiled and did his laps, passing the lithe kid twice while he did, and at the last lap he whooped and was about to run on all fours when he caught himself and he instead did a slide as he finished. Everyone, literally everyone was looking at him in shock, and he glared at them all.
"What can't a guy enjoy some running once in a while" he said and his glare snapped them out of their shock, or disgust, and Percy started to stretch. The lithe kid came over to him after he stretched and Percy ignored all the nasty comments people made about them both, already not the cool-kid, but the weird kid.
"Wow" the lithe kid caught Percy's attention and Percy snapped out of his thoughts about wanting to go for another run, but through the forest instead of being cramped up in this stupid school.
"What" Percy growled, and he realized that if he were to act normal then he would have to play sports and things like that, and suppress his strength.
"That--" the kid started but then the whistle blew and the teacher, or coach, came out holding a squishy ball that he tossed up every second only to catch it in the same hand as it came down.
"Class we will be doing Dodgeball, and I am pretty sure that you noticed the new-kid that is joining us, and with a new kid comes dodge-ball" he said "get into teams of four and then I'll pair you with other teams randomly.
The lithe kid groaned and asked Percy if he'd be his partner, and Percy agreed since they both didn't have friends and the lithe kid seemed like a nice person, so far. They were paired with another group of two and then a group of four, and the other four went to the other side of the gym.
"Yay, were with the two losers" a kid said not bothering to hide his disgust and Percy held in a growl, but he glared at the kid and the kid instantly gave off the smell of fear and he went to the back. The whistled blew and Percy stayed back as everyone else ran up and got smothered in a ball-bath, getting Percy's entire team out leaving them two and the kid that had bad-mouthed Percy, but he eventually got out too. A ball was flying towards Percy's face but Percy just raised a hand and caught it, and he used it to block three other's before walking to the line up front, and looking at the kid that threw the original ball.
"Really, is it a normal thing to throw the first ball towards the new-kid's face" Percy scowled and the kid shrugged making Percy sigh and walk back, and he dodged a couple other balls that were thrown from behind him and suddenly he whirled around and sent the ball towards the kid's chest like a meteor. Making the kid fly back and onto the ground as the ball bounced off of him and rolled back down the line where Percy picked it back up along with another, second ball. A ball came towards the lithe kid and he knew that even if the kid was skilled somehow. He would've have caught it, especially with the kid visibly holding back like he was, it confused Percy but he just shrugged it from his mind and threw a ball at it making them both fly in opposite directions.
Percy didn't wait for the kid to thank him as he picked up another ball, and another, and another quickly ending the game and bruising the punk-guy's ego's and some of their bodies. Afterwards everyone went to the bleachers and Percy sat alone in the far side listening as the teacher told everyone what they were going to be doing that day...it was going to be a kick-ball unit. Percy scoffed, clearly this school didn't take activities literally, or educationally because kick-ball was a middle-school thing, and it was rather boring for Percy.
The lithe kid came over and sat down next to Percy, and Percy growled under his breath just wanting to be left alone for the time.
"Look I know that I may be annoying you a little, but I have no one else to be my partner during this, so I come to you" he said and Percy groaned
"Do we really have to do this childish chapter"
"Woah, what happened to you all the sudden. I thought that you liked this class at first" the kid said and Percy half glared at him through his arms, making the kid shudder, and he looked back at the floor with his arms around his head and his legs up.
"That was before I realized that there were punks in this class" he said and the lithe kid laughed
"Dude there's always going to be punks in every class that you go to" the lithe boy said "there's no avoiding that, and the jocks are going to want you to join the football team." Percy sighed in defeat, he was right, and he was going to join because he needed to be the subject of good attention more than bad due to his Alpha Wolf senses.
"Oh my name's Peter by the way, Peter Parker" he said and Percy got up and off of the bleachers, and they were fashioned into teams before Percy said his 'name'.
"Mine's Wolfson" he said feeding through the lie easily, and the kid seemed to twist up and Percy growled "yeah it's a strange name, but it fits my character, you'll see" the rest of the day went by well, and once the day was over with. Percy went to the PE teacher to sign up for football, since he looked like he'd be the coach since he was stocky and looked like a football coach. He was right because the teacher accepted him into the team pretty much immediately and told him to wait there while the others came. Percy went to the bathroom and MM'd (Mist Messaged) Thalia telling her that he was joining the football team and that she could go without him, in which she just scoffed to and told Percy that he wasn't apart of the Hunt, and he was a free soul. Allowed to do whatever he wanted to.
"Did anyone try to hit on you?" Percy asked and she nodded passively
"Yeah, but I took care of it" she smiled evilly and Percy shuddered at what she did to the male that tried to hit on her. Then he ended the MM and went back out to see that there were at least nineteen people there already. He joined everyone on the bleechers and the teacher, which he guessed he now had to call coach, stepped in-front of everyone and told them to quiet as they clapped and cheered as he entered sight.
Percy growled in amusement at all of the other Juniors and Seniors clapping and guessed that everyone there loved their coach a-lot.
"Calm down everyone, I know that it is yet another year that he have to win to keep up our three year championship streak, but now we have a new addition to the team making us an even ten:ten team" he pointed at Percy and everyone eyed him with suspicion and Percy gritted his teeth as he was about to growl at them to back off and stop staring "now OFF YOUR BUTTS AND GIVE ME TEN LAPS!!" the coach yelled and Percy suppressed his alpha instincts to tear apart the human for bossing him around and he jumped off from the bleachers and was done with ten laps before the others had done seven, and he was stretching again off to the left side of the bleachers as they passed around eyeing him with awe and shock, and many whispered to each-other where they thought he would be put.
Once everyone was done they all gathered around and did their stretches, Percy just stood off to the side watching them with interest as he saw many struggle as they tried to reach their toes, or keep their balance on one foot.
"What are you smirking at" the lead jock, a big man that was presumably the captain came up to Percy scowling, and fuming with rage
"Oh nothing, just the fact that pretty much every one in this team other than me can't stay balanced, or reach their toes, or have a strong stance as they push each-other around playfully" Percy said and the jock got into a fighting stance and the coach just looked down on them with interest as he saw Percy sigh and get into his own fighting stance. Standing straight, and true like a warrior.
"That's your stance, I could push you down with a finger" Percy said and the coach raised an eye-brow. That Jock, John, was the strongest and toughest of all of the football team, and this twig, Percy, was challenging him like he was nothing.
"Oh really, I dare you try" John said and Percy grinned, and he turned and swiped his hand through the air as he walked to the bleachers to sit down and watch their drills, and everyone smiled as John rushed Percy, but Percy just stepped to the side and stuck a foot out as John rushed past making him trip unexpectedly and fall straight onto his face. Percy on the other hand walked around him and sat down on the fifth row as he watched John get back up with interest, and John was fuming, and was about to march up the bleachers to beat Percy through when the teacher interrupted.
"Okay ladies, that's enough fun for now" he said "John show the others how we train again." John huffed and stepped down from the bleachers and had two other kids follow him to the back room where they carried out three dummies attached to poles. Once they were in place John ran straight into one and pushed it back a good three-four feet.
"How bout you come down and try one newby" the coach said and Percy got up and walked down from the bleachers before judging the pounds that each push-dummy weighed. Maybe a fifty to a hundred fifty pounds, it didn't matter to Percy though because he just went into the back room and grabbed two hundred pound counterweights and set them on the end of the dummy where a pole was to put them on at the back and then he put his hands on the pad and pushed three hundred-fifty pounds across the entire gym easily, and with out breaking a sweat, and then he picked up one side of the dummy and turned it around to go the other way and he went and sat back down on the bleachers.
Everyone was wide-mouthed in shock, they didn't expect him to push the hundred-fifty pounds, but carry two hundred more pounds out and push that ten or so feet was astonishing, and the fact that he picked it up with one hand and turned it around was just shocking. Percy looked at the time and he saw that he'd been there for an hour already, and he got up from the bleachers and opened the Gym doors.
"Got to go, see you all tomorrow" he said and left the school. No coat, or hat, or anything as the autumn breeze blew cold and true. Percy turned left down the busy streets and once he was in the forest and out of sight, he put a hand in his pocket searching for the pin, and all he felt was his pen. So he took it out, saw that the pin had melded with the pen, and he willed his glamour to fade away before putting Riptide back into his pocket.
Then he ran, he ran, and ran letting his wolf-side come out and he ran for the rest of the day going around the entire state, as a streak in people's vision, so fast that it would've just looked like the shadows. He stopped in an alleyway and he looked up and then at the walls, before he jumped on the left wall and then the right and the rest of the way up until he was on the roof. Surprisingly it was silently too, and not loud and attention seeking. Then he herd an alarm going off and he ran on roof-tops to see a bank-robbery. He shrugged, a normality in New York, and he was about to jump to another roof to jump onto the bank's roof when a sleek figure in a red and black suit with a spider on the front of it came flying through the front doors leaving only webs to keep him suspended.
Thanks for reading and I'll have another chapter out soon.
