2 A Hero in Yancy Academy
I had been attending Yancy Academy for over 2 weeks now, 2 weeks since I met Percy Jackson, the powerful demigod I had somehow stumbled upon on my second chance on getting my searcher's license.
The first time I met him was a hours after I arrived at the school, I had just been putting my stuff away when I caught a whiff of demigod scent and a few seconds later I heard the door open and slammed shut.
Logically, I panicked, first: since I wasn't expecting my roommate to be here so early, second because I wasn't expecting said roommate to be a demigod, and third because I wasn't wearing my shoes on, leaving my hoofs on display.
I hastily put my shoes on before looking at him and about to start making excuses when I look over at him and realize he seems to be too busy trying to calm his breathing to notice anything around him yet.
"Err, Hello?" I softly called out/greeted.
He jumped slightly as my voice.
He had Messy Black hair that looked like he constantly ran his fingers through it, or a strong wind went through it, and tan skin, like he spends most of his time outdoors, with Bluish Green eyes speckled with grey, like the sea, a bit of a lanky build, and wore a blue slightly oversize Hoodie over a black shirt, worn light grey jeans and black slightly old converse.
His appearance remind me of someone, I just couldn't out my finger on it
My back slides down the wall as the group of bully's tower over me.
"Who- who are you?" He ask awkwardly, I stepped forward reaching my hand out in greeting
"Grover Underwood! Your, uh, roommate! Heh"
"Nice to meet you, I'm, Perseus Jackson" he replied back while accepting my outstretched hand in his.
At first, I thought it was going to be easy to make friends with him.
I mean, he was such a kind, laid back guy I found it hard to believe he would stay friendless.
Well, I was wrong
That boy did not trust easily
He wouldn't they to talk to me and doesn't seem to know what to say whenever I try to start a conversation
Its not like he outright tries to ignore and shows his distrust in obvious ways, he doesn't! Its just that he doesn't know how to react to someone yet.
And it wasn't until today, 2 weeks later, that something changed.
Hi, my names is Grover Underwood, and I am currently stuck in a predicament I don't if I can I escape from
You see, a girl name Nancy has been bullying me lately and sadly this was not the first time I was cornered after a class for my money
Now, I know what your saying, "why don't I fight back?", because the mortal bully and her 'gang' had some parents with money and a lot of say around here at Yancy Academy.
"Well Broken Leg boy? Are you gonna give e your money or not" Nancy's words sounded more like a statement then a command or a question.
Nevertheless, I rather give them my money then get beaten before lunch is over.
I was about to reach for my money when I heard a voice
"What the Heck do you guys think your doing?" It was Perseus.
"Back off Jackson! Its none of your business !" One of Nancy's friend's shouted at him
"I think it is 'my business' since that is my roommate you are trying to rob there Bobafit" Perseus replied with sass in his voice
Oh gods Perseus don't get yourself in trouble for me!
I prayed to the gods they would help us when the bell rang signaling launch was over.
"Saved by the bell Jackson" Nancy sneered before running away with her friends as students started going back to there classrooms
A few glanced at me before turning away
I was about to stand up when a hand was suddenly in front of me, I look up to see Perseus with his hand stretch out and a worried look in his face.
"Are you alright man?"
I took his offered hand before replying "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks for the help"
"No Problem"
Though I was wondering why he came and helped me
"Why though?" I ask him, "Why what?
" Why did you help me?" He just looked at me in surprise, like he thought helping someone was something people always do.
"Why not?" I smiled at his answer, Hero indeed.
"You know what? Let's start again shall we" I looked confuse at his words, start again?
That is until he once again held his hand out for me
"My name is Perseus Jackson, you are?" I shook his hand, "Grover Underwood, your roommate"
The bell rand once again signaling it was almost class
"Shoot! Were almost late!" I said frantically, "Then come on! Let's go!" He said shouldering both our bag before helping with my crutches before I could protest him from helping.
We both walked along the crowd to class.
"Grover?"
"Yeah Perseus?"
"Call me Percy"
Seems like it's time to call Chiron and tell him I have a found a Hero in Yancy Academy.
