The time has come again.

School.

"Don't worry! You look great!" Hazel assured me. It was my first day at McDonald Elementary School.

Percy and his friends would be going to Tennet.

"Okay, someone will pick you up at the end of school, okay?" Hazel asked.

I nodded, and walked inside. I walked to my classroom.

"Hi, you must be Tyler. You can sit next to Ava and Lucas. My name is Mrs. Allen." The teacher said. I thanked her, and went to my seat. The desks were divided into 3 tables.

One table had Mia, Sky, Jack, Kelsy, and Willa.

Two had Fiala, Ben, Nina, Ciarra, and Ethan.

And mine had Me, Ava, Lucas, Dina, Izzy, and Greg.

"Hi, I'm Tyler." I said.
They all introduced themselves.

We went to art-class.

"Today, we will be drawing a self-portrait. You have 25 minutes." The teacher said.

_25 minutes_

"Done! I exclaimed happily.

"Wow! That's really good!" Ava congratulated me.

"Thanks, yours is good too!" I told her.

_End of Day_

"See you tomorrow!" I shouted to Ava. We had become best friends. She had just left with her dad.

I looked around the schoolyard. No one.

Then I saw Frank.

I ran over to him. "Hey Fai!" I called. He looked surprised.

"How did you know?!" He asked.

"I heard Hazel calling you that." I said, shrugging.

I got home, and today I had math homework.

3+8=
5+7=
4+5= 9
8+2= 10
3+6=___
1+6= 7

Hmmm...

"Percy! Can you help me with these lazy few problems?" I asked him.

He looked over them, and erased my other answers.

This is what he wrote:

3+8= 38
5+7= 57
4+5= 45
8+2= 82
3+6= 36
1+6= 16

"Are you sure?" I asked him.

"Positive! These are trick questions." He said.

I believed him.

-Next Day-

"PERCY!!!!" I roared.

He popped his head through my bedroom door. "Yes?" He asked.

"I got all the answers wrong!" I whined.

He scratched the back of his head. "Oops," He whispered.

"Yeah,oops!"
