Chapter 2

Hi to anyone who is actually reading this! I hope you're enjoying it so far.

I was right. As soon as I got to the entrance of the school building I kept having flashback. The times she used to wait outside for me. Or that one time I got us both into detention. All the times we spent in front of this building were just sad memories now. I shook my head trying to focus on what was important. School.

I never really liked school but I also didn't hate it either. I wasn't extremely clever I guess you could say I was average. Anyways I started walking down the corridor to my form room. Our school was odd. Each form class had a mythological name, titans, gods, demigods and satyrs. My form was the demigods and we were partnered with the satyrs whenever we had lessons with another form. When waiting for our form tutor, Mr Brunner, we usually wait outside our form room chatting to our friends. Everyone was waiting outside our class but they weren't chatting with their friends. No, they were staring at me. Then trying to pretend they weren't looking at me at all they started talking to their friends. The sad part was though I could hear what they were talking about, me and her.

"Oh poor Percy I bet he's really sad."

"Yeah they were best friends after all."

"He knew her more than any of us.

"He must be devastated." It got me really annoyed but before I could do anything Mr Brunner came, unlocked the doors and let us all in.

Luckily Mr Brunner was a really nice guy so he let us sit wherever we wanted to. Our tables had four seats which was great for me and my friends. Only now there would be one person missing. "All right class settle down." The rest of the class sat down and stopped talking.

"Now kids (he didn't like being very formal) as I'm sure a lot of you know we have lost a very special member of our class. I know there are a few people here who were really close with our class member and may not be handling it very well so I want everyone to support each other ok?" he looked at me as he said this. He knew me and her were good friends. Everyone did it was so obvious. We did everything together. We were always partners for everything and we always hung out after school. "Well that's all the notices I have so I guess you can just chat with your friends. I'm sure you guys missed each other over the holidays."

Nico and Thalia started to catch up. After all it had been about a month since we'd seen each other because of the summer holidays. Nico told us about how he didn't really do much over the holidays and that he basically just watched TV and played in the garden with his 4 year old sister Luna. Thalia on the other hand had done lots during the holidays. Her family had gone to Italy for almost the entire holidays and she wouldn't stop blabbering about it. I mean normally I wouldn't mind but I wasn't exactly feeling happy right now. I guess I was annoyed that everyone else had a good summer but me. "So….. How was your summer Percy?" I could tell that she felt a little nervous about asking afraid maybe that I would snap at her or something. I wish I could say that I proved her wrong but sadly that's exactly what I did. "Oh it was great I spent most of the days hanging around with my best friend. Then the next day I go over to her house to find out that she killed herself!" I shouted. Everyone in class was staring at me. Mr Brunner came over and tried to calm me down. "Percy I understand you're upset but shouting at Thalia isn't very nice now just-"

"No you don't understand and you never will!" There were tears streaming down my face. It was all too much. I stormed out of the classroom. I sunk down to the ground and sat there with my head in my hands.

I heard footsteps coming out of room. Most likely Nico he always came to cheer me up. Someone sat next to me on the ground. "Hey." I lifted my head up I was surprised to see Thalia. I thought she would be too angry to talk to me at all. "I'm sorry," I told her.

"No it was my fault. It must be really hard for you. I might not know about all of what you're going through but let's not forget that you only knew her for 3 more years than I did. This is really hard for me as well. You knew her longer so of course it's going to be hard but I promise that we'll both get through this and if there's anything you need I'm here okay?" I stared at her; she had tears rimming her eyes. I never really thought about how she would be feeling. In fact everyone in our class would be feeling upset. She was liked by everyone. There wasn't a single person that didn't like her. We were all her friends and we were going to miss her so much. Thalia pulled me into a hug. "Thanks."

"No problems now come on we're going to be late to the first lesson of the New Year, maths."

"Oh no, not maths!" after that I managed to get through the school day normally. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that I wasn't sitting next to her like I usually did in all my classes but I tried not to think about it.

Well the day was normal until lunch. I went and sat down at the table that my friends were sitting at. Thalia and Nico were there as well as a few of my other friends from the Romans Reyna, Hazel, Jason and Frank. All my classes that I didn't have with my form class had at least one of them in it so I was never alone and always had a partner.

The sad thing was though that she was in all my classes and because we were best friends we were always partners. We would both help each other out when we were stuck on questions and we would always have something to chat about. I know that I still have friends to sit with but I felt like by sitting with someone else I was betraying

Back to lunch. Whilst I was eating I felt like people were staring at me and when I looked up I saw that I was right. "What?" I snapped. Thalia and Nico flinched but the others just looked at me with scared and sympathetic eyes. At first I was confused but then I realised that they were afraid. They thought that I was going to start yelling or something like in Form. It was like I was a time bomb and they thought I would explode. "I'm sorry it's just I've been having a hard time lately." I told them. No-one said anything until Hazel spoke. "We know Percy and were here for you okay?"

"Thanks." After that we just ate our lunch in silence, no-one knowing what to say.

I hoped you liked it and I will try to update soon.
