Emily Stone
and the thunderous headache
Prologue
I never thought going to my junior writers' workshop would send me into the mind of Zeus, the greek god. I know, crazy but true. Let's start from the beginning , back to when I was normal .
Chapter 1
My Writing Class is Interrupted by A Monster
It was a normal friday afternoon in New York and I , Emily Stone , was heading to my junior writers' workshop. As I walked into the building I had a weird feeling, kind of like a pig and a butterfly fighting.
"You are the future," My teacher, Mrs. Crane, said. "We are the future," the class repeated. Let me get this straight , My teacher is lazy . She tells us the same thing at the beginning of every class, then we say the same thing, then she tells us a word or a sentence and we make up a story based on that. We do that for 1 hour and 45 minutes . We hand her our paper and then we leave. Same thing every class, just once I wish something different would happen, and I didn't know that my wish was about to come true.
"So today class you'll be writing about -" she had stopped in mid-sentence because right where our window used to be was a bear/lion/pig/goat. To put it down, a monster just crashed through our window. But the monster was not alone, with him - I guess fighting the beast - were two kids around my age, one boy and one girl.
"Wow. How did that tree fall through our window," one of my classmates said. Huh, I thought. Everyone in my class started talking about how could the tree have fallen into the window. I just starred at the two kids that no one else seem to notice. "Can you see us?" the boy said. I just nodded my head wondering whether or not I were going crazy. The boy and the girl looked at each other, then at me, each other, me, each other, me, etc. That went on for like 5 minutes.
"Mrs. Crane , may I be excused please?," I asked. "Yes of course, dear," she replied as she handed me the hall pass. I went to the bath room and splashed some water on my face , hoping that the water would splash saneness into me, I guess. "This is just a dream, it must be," I said to my reflection. "You did not see a bear/lion/pig/goat monster thingy battling two teenagers," I said to myself. I repeated that over and over in my head as I walked out the door of the bath room. "Actually, yes. Yes, you did," the boy who was fighting the monster said. "What in all the bananas tacos," I yelped as I jumped back against the wall.
"I'm Drew," the boy said. Drew had dirty blond hair, grayish blueish greenish eyes and I guess just 2 inches taller than me, making him about 5'3". "And I'm Mandy," the girl said. Mandy had long black hair that was in a high ponytail, dark brown eyes and was about 5'2". "Oh, and no, you are not going crazy or seeing things," Mandy said. "What was that thing and why was I the only one who could see it and and and..." I trailed off not knowing what question I should ask next. "We'll tell you everything. You just need to come with us," Drew said. "Haven't you ever heard of the stranger danger rule," I said. Mandy rolled her eyes , "First of all you know our names, making us people you know, not strangers, and second, you would just come with us to get a drink at a cafe nearby." "Fine, but what about ?," I asked. A devilish smile came upon her face, "Trust me. I'll take care of that, you two go ahead," and with that she was gone and little did I know that my life and the world possible were going to change. Forever.
