In Different Worlds (MCU/PJO) COMPLETED

Bronya

Today is my first day of high school. And my first day examining the Lenaya boy. I am excited and nervous at the same time. It's my chance to prove myself to the Red Room, but if I fail, then I die. I won't let that happen.

I slip on Brandy's horrifying clothing and pull it down in every place I can. I put my waist-long hair in the style Annushka wore yesterday. It needs a trim.

I put on a small layer of concealer over all my visible bruises and cuts and do mascara. If I am going to act as Brandy, I am going to have to bat my eyelashes at everyone.

I put all the things I need in the backpack that is sitting on the floor and put it on my back. I walk out the door of my room and await what will come to me, but it doesn't.

"Brandy, Annabeth, Allie, let's go!" Taya shouts at us her voice sounding calm and normal, but there is an icy edge to it that only those with the sharpest ears can sense.

We walk out the door in our mission attire each trying our best to separate ourselves and I walk with Tasha behind me by a bit.

"Don't fail Semenov. You know what happens to failures," Tasha warns me. I walk as casually as I can not wanting her to gain satisfaction. I want to pull the knife out of my shoe and stab her so this can all be over. But if I kill her she's still only the first line of defense.

"Yes, I did actually live in London. No, the courses were not as advanced as they are here. Yes, I will be able to catch up. No, I am both Russian and English. Yes, I have a Russian family member. No, it is not one of my parents. No, I am not related to an Avenger. Yes, I am related to the other new girls. Yes, they are my cousins. Are we done here? I have been very excited to see the school," I respond wanting to get out of the conversation.

"Well, that was all I had to ask you. So enjoy your time at Midtown High!" The principle replies showing me his yellow teeth. I try to smile back, but the feeling of both discomfort and unfamiliarity keeps it from being real. I can't really muster one without throwing up. So I stand up and shake his hand.

"Well thank you, sir, for letting me enroll here, I hear it is very hard to get into!" I reply to him.

I let go of his hand and pick up the backpack sitting on the empty chair next to me, and put it on my back as gracefully as possible. If I am going to be Brandy, I have to play an elegant English girl. And I can do that in my sleep.

I walk out of the office and immediately regret even trying to get this mission. I am not even past day one and I am exhausted from this. But I must carry out the mission.

I walk down the hallway looking at the students and saying their names in my head. I walk down further as I look for the locker I am to take. I finally find it. I am three lockers away from what I know is Calvin's, and I see a glimpse of him as I do my hallway check.

I open the locker after putting in the code, and I put the backpack in it. I hear a whistle from down the hall as I see people that I recognize as Perseus and Calvin's friends, and I see them all looking at me. My first instinct is to go up to them and demand who whistles at me. After I do that, I murder the one who did. But Brandy isn't like that. She lives for attention no matter how much she doesn't show it. So I put a fake smirk on my face, as I grab the books from my locker.

I walk past them the smirk still plastered on as fake as ever, and the guy who I suppose is the one who whistled slaps my tushy. I am horrified. I hear a shuffling of feet, and I turn around to dodge a face and hand bending down to mine. I judo-flip him and kick his back with my heel knocking him out.
