Please bear with me as this is my first time writing a story…and please give me feedback on my chapters. Thanks…
And now onto the fiction.
Here I thought my unusual day couldn't get any worse, but as always I was wrong… I mean who likes to stand in the middle of nowhere with the sun blazing down on you on the last day of school in May waiting for a pick-up truck while having three old ladies staring at you from the opposite side of the street knitting a sock. Ya, my guess is nobody. Whoops I'm getting ahead of myself
My name is Bob Roberts, and I am in high school. I have black hair and dark skin, brown eyes, and you will always see me wearing red fleece jacket no matter what time of the year it is…no clue why, I just like wearing it. I am ADHD and dyslexic, but that's not all that's weird about me, I carry a Japanese katana wherever I go out of school, and when I'm in school it's in my locker, don't ask me why, it's just this one time I thought my school bus driver had horns the size of a fully grown bull, and ever since then I've made it a habit to keep that katana wherever I go, and if I'm in school I just carry a dagger about as long as the tip of my middle finger to the end of my wrist.
My best friend is about the same age as me, he goes to the same school as me and he's more normal than me at least, or so I thought. My friends name is Grover; he has curly brown hair, and is 5' 5" around the same height as me. He has this weird limp that exempts him from class and he always wears this weird Rasta cap with rainbow colors on it. Even though he has a limp you better watch out when it's enchilada day in the school cafeteria. He could give Olympian athletes a run for their money.
It was after school and I had a ton of homework I had to do and Grover, the school Bully Josh, some random kids, and I were riding the bus home. I was sitting next to Grover while trying to do my homework when the school bully starts pelting us with pieces of his lunch and trying to stuff the food with meat down my throat…normally it wouldn't be bad but I'm a vegetarian and I was having to much of a bad day to put up with it. Right as I was about to complain to the bus driver our bus broke down in the middle of nowhere. The minute we get outside I see three old ladies knitting something huge like it would fit a Cyclops if they existed, while staring at me.
So that's how I got to where I am… Now that everything else is out of the way lets continue from where we left off.
"Bob. Hey Bob wake up1" yelled a frantic Grover trying to wake me up. "BOB GET UP!!!!" SMACK…
"Oops sorry Robert I thought someone was trying to kill me." I said while trying to help Grover.
"It's O.K." said Grover while clutching his bleeding nose. "I was trying to wake you up. What happened?"
"Well I was staring at those old ladies across the street and then…huh that's odd I can't remember what happened after that."
"Wait those ladies?" asked Grover while pointing across the street
"No those…hey where'd they go?" I asked while pointing to the opposite side of the street where the 3 old ladies had been sitting.
"Well just come on the bus man they're about to leave us." Said Grover while dragging me onto the bus.
We quickly jumped on board, just barely making it. After another 10 or so min. nothing happened besides the bully being a bully, which was strange, even for me, I mean a bus breaks down, then drives like a million bucks in a matter of minutes? Not normal, even by my standards. Anyway, I get home and drag myself up 2 flights of stairs to my apartment building where I live with my mom, yah just my mom. And just like her she know when something's up.
"Bob honey what happened?" asked my mom Pauline.
"My bus broke down this morning, then I was staring at these old ladies-" at these words my mom perked up,"and then I just suddenly passed out."
"This is not good, not good at all."
"Mom what's wrong?"
"Oh it's nothing dear, hey Grover I think it's time."
"Alright Mrs. Bob." Said Grover.
"Time for what?" I asked.
"Time for you to go to camp."
"Wait camp? Camp what?" asked a frantic Bob when they were 10-20 min from Long Island
Grover and my mom exchanged worried glances. "Don't worry Bob, everything will be fine." Said my mom in a non-reassuring way. "Now just get out of the car honey and follow Grover to the top of the hill.
"Uh mom, there's nothing up there except grass, and a tree…" I said trying my best not to sound like I thought my mom was crazy.
"Grover you know what to do. By what you said it doesn't sound like we have much time." Whispered my mom into Grover's ear.
"Alright Pauline."
"What are you guys talking about, what does Grover know to do." I asked sound like I was gonna shoot somebody.
"Bob, I should probably tell you I'm a satyr. And the Greek Gods and all are alive." Said Grover "And this camp is where half-bloods come to train, and the camp were going to is for the half-bloods, kids who have godly parentage. You Bob are part Olympian god. If you don't believe me look." At this point Grover took his pants off, by first instinct I looked away then after a while I looked and saw the lower half of his body was fuzzy like a goat.
"This must be a dream. I know I'll punch myself in the face and wake up. 3…2…1…" SMACK. "Ow my face hurts."
"Wow I told you the gods are real. Now get up. We have to pass that tree come on I'll take you to Chiron he's the centaur of the camp and the activities director."
"Uh-Huh… I'm going crazy… I think I'll just-----Wow hey Grover wait dude let go of me man your crazy." I said trying to escape Grover's grip of iron. With each pull Grover brought us closer to the tree.
"If you don't believe me then look!" yelled Grover while pushing me past the tree.
"Wow." That's about all I could say at the moment because I was completely awestruck. At the foot of the hill was a decked out camp, it had 12 cabins shaped into a U. IT had an archery field, a lake, a volcano, and a forest that was rally huge, and that's just some of it.
As we headed to the Big House, and seriously it's a big house, I started to say "Grover is all this----." But that's about all I could say because right at that moment a cry that sounded like well…I couldn't describe what it sounded like, and all of a sudden the air in front of us started to shimmer and suddenly we were face to face with this huge monster. Where it's face should be was a huge mask with weird carvings and killer teeth. It's body was muscular such that he looked like a huched-back giant, don't ask me how I knew. I unseathed my sword and charged the monster but was swated back 5 feet with one sweep of his hand.
"Hey what is that" yelled Grover. Right as I got up and was getting ready to strike I heard a faint voice calling something out.
"Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyōrinmaru." One minute there was a frozen monster with a hole in the middle of the it's mask, and the next it started to disintegrate.
"Thanks." I said as I swirled to face the person who saved my life. The next thing I knew was a blade under my chin and the stranger…let me re-phrase that, strangers asking me the same question, "Who are you? Either tell me or die."
R&R people thanks for reading again please comment because if you don't comment I can't really fix anything. I have PSSA's for the month so I should get the next chapter written and up soon, but I need some comments before I right, Thanks.
