The bell finally rang signifying the end of school for the day. Percy rushed out with the other kids and went immediately to the public gym. He needed to blow of steam. He got their as it was only a few blocks away from school. He dumped his backpack in a little cubby hole and wrapped his fists in the linen. He reached a punching bag and started throwing punches. Wam wam wam. The punches were repetitive and consistent. Each blow feeling better then the last. Soon Percy got really hot and took of his shirt. He resumed throwing punches. What he didn't know was that the popular kids from his school where sitting on a bench across the gym and watching him. One of them was filming. They all watched him in awe murmuring about his scars. Someone walked in through the door. Percy was vaguely aware that their was a newcomer but didn't stop throwing punches. He was mad at everything. At his grades, at his teachers, at everyone.
"Hi seaweed brain" came the voice of the newcomer. This voice wasn't Annabeth's though. Percy looked up.
"Oh hi Thals." Was his reply he smiled at her. He was genuinely happy to see his cousin.
"Didn't expect you to be away from camp" Thalia said smirking. The exchanged a quick hug.
"Why did you come here. Don't you have hunter stuff to do."
"Ya but we were in the area and I thought I would say hi"
"Your company is much appreciated"
"This place had nice mats. Hand to hand combat maybe?" Thalia asked.
"Sure" was Percy's genius reply. They moved to the middle of the mat and started brutally throwing punches and attacking each other as if their lives depended on it. It ended when Thalia had Percy pinned down. Thalia helped Percy up and they laughed and talked some. Thalia had to go saying she needed to check on the rest of the hunters and continue tracking their next big monster. They waved goodbye. Percy grabbed his shirt put it on and headed to his, his mom's, Paul and Estelle's apartment. The next day gym rolled around. Percy had been almost late to class and all the stalls were full to get changed. Percy with a lot on his mind like the monster Thalia was tracking, camp, Annabeth, monsters, his grades and so much more. Took his shirt off and started to get his gym one on. When he realized the whole locker room was quite and everyone was staring at his scars. One boy tentatively pointed to one of his scars and asked;
"Why do you have all those?"
"Ummmm" Percy stammered he couldn't say Ancient Greek Monsters and he couldn't say something lame because they were anything but that. Percy quickly finished getting changed and rushed out. Throughout the day he got questions about why he had been fighting with that girl. Apparently someone had gotten a video of him and Thalia and why he had all those scars. Percy avoided answering either of those questions.
