BEEP! BEEEP! Screamed my alarm clock. After a whole summer of sleeping during the day and staying awake to text my friends and read my books. Well that had to change soon since it is the first day of school. Yay... My annoying 10 year old sister is banging on my door yelling at me," Iris, get up! Get up it is the first day of school!" I moan loudly so she can hear that I am trying to wake up. Unwillingly I get up and look in the mirror, frowning at the wild mess of short, brown hair, if it can even be called hair because it looks like a rat's nest, trying to brush it down with my fingers.
About an hour later, I look in the mirror pleased with my appearance, straight, brown, spiked hair, and black shirt with a sea green trident on it, and black jeans. I run downstairs to the kitchen and grab my old backpack filled with brand-new school supplies. My mom offered me to buy me a new backpack, but I wouldn't let her. My backpack and I had survived 4 years of school and if my backpack can keep surviving then I can.
Mom drives my two little demon sisters to the middle school and drops me off in front of the high school, which was embarrassing because most of the high schoolers drive and having people see your mommy dropping you off in front of the school just puts you waaay down on the cool scale. The fact that your mother yells that she loves you as loud as she can at you while you're walking away from the car and everyone is around and heard exactly what she said, isn't a good way to start the year. Kill me.
I take my class schedule out of my pocket, English, which is a pretty good way to start the morning. I enter the classroom to find it packed with students of all cliques. You have your emos, preppies, jocks, and of course the cheerleader/ sluts close behind the jocks. I take a seat in the very back in a corner, as usual. The teacher is about 20 minutes late to class probably suffering from a hangover. Our teachers name was Mrs. Richmond, she was known as a teacher who pretty much lets you do whatever. This is fine by me because I don't do really much at all.
I barely make it to lunch before I am bored out of my mind, but isn't the first day supposed to be boring? I sit in a small table with 3 people at it all of them are my friends. Frankie, Ash, and Luke, all of them are guys who are dressed similarly to me. Black on black on black. I yawned and leaned back in my chair as Luke bear hugs me." How's your first day back, baby?" Luke asked. Even though all of my friends are guys I have never dated any of them or thought of them as something more than friends, but sometimes they joke around and call me baby and hug me a lot which doesn't bother me one bit because I know they were joking around. I groaned at Luke's words.
At the end of the day I walked over to the middle school to pick up my sisters, Terri and Lindsey, we walked home at the end of the day because mom worked late. "Hey, Iris can we go over to Brenna's house to go work on our homework together?"Says Terri. I nod my head and walk them to Brenna's house. I walked home alone, it was drizzling rain. I opened the door to the house enjoying the peacefulness and how quiet it was. I lie on the couch and automatically fell asleep.
"Come outside." A voice tells me. I try to open my mouth to question the voice but it is like my mouth is glued shut."Do as I say! You are in grave danger. Go outside there is a car outside. Get in the car, there will be a two boys and a girl in the car. Their names are Percy, Nico, and Thailia. Do as I say and you will be save! Now wake up!"
I do wake up. I run to the window and open the curtains to find a car parked in front of the house. Should I stay here? Or should I go and face whatever lies ahead? Stay with mom or go on an adventure? I grab my backpack and walk to the car slowly. "It is alright get in the car," the same voice that was in my dream told me. Feeling a little bit better I open the car door to find a black haired girl sitting by the door that I just opened. Her face lit up when she saw me.
"Hey, Percy, Nico! That was easier then I had expected this will give us a head start before the monst-"the girl said but one of the boys cut her off and shushed her.
"Later, Thailia! Not now, we will explain everything later." The boy looked at me his hair was black and his eyes were sea green, overall he was pretty cute. Thailia scooted over to the middle of the car and patted the space beside her for me to sit down.
