Ok new story let me know what you think.
Disclaimer:As always I own nothing but the plot
"Clarisse was at school preparing for her favorite game in the world dodge-ball. She couldn't explain it but there was something about dodge-ball that made her feel at home. Maybe it was because of the way you had to use your agility to best your opponent or maybe it was the lovely sound the ball made as it 'accidentally' bounced off someones head. She would practice her dodge-ball skills for hours and hours it's all she really enjoyed doing besides video games when she wasn't in trouble with her mom.
"La Rue are you paying attention" Coach Hedge yelled. "Don't make me make you run laps."
"Clarisse just smirked "Bring it on."
"You're right you like laps I'll make you climb the rope you hate so much." Coach Hedge smiled that shut her up and it knocked that smug look off her face too.
"Let's go over the rules for dodge-ball first no head shots." he said glaring at Clarisse, who smirked again.
"Next if you get hit by the ball you're out, if someone catches your ball you're out, if the ball bounces before you get hit you're still in, and if you catch a ball someone out on your team can come back in." Coach Hedge explained. "Oh one more thing aim for Clarisse first" that was one fierce child she was only seven but she was an absolute beast. There was no doubt in his mind this was the demigod he was sent to protect.
They spent that entire period playing dodge-ball of course the team Clarisse was on won. After gym they had lunch Clarisse went to hang out with her favorite misfit Chris. He was two years older but they lived right across the street from each other.
"Hey Chris what's for lunch." Clarisse asked.
"Hey kid, I got ham and cheese sandwich, some grapes, a juice box, and a ho-ho. What about you?" Chris asked.
"First of all you're only two years older than me so you can't call me kid. Second I have PB&J, a fruit cup, some chocolate milk, and Oreo's." Clarisse told him.
Without even talking they immediately switched lunches like they did most days.
"So is you're mom still mad at you for hitting that girl." Chris asked.
"Yup I still have yet to see my PlayStation" Clarisse sighed sadly.
"You've gotta learn how to control yourself" Chris said "Don't let people get under your skin so easily."
"I don't know what happened it just came out of no where" Clarisse started " One second I was talking to her and the next second I had hit her which she totally deserved by the way."
'Whether or not she deserved it is not the question you can't just hit people for saying things" Chris told her "But like i said I'm on your side."
"You'd better be Rodriguez" She snorted "I'd hate to have to destroy you" she replied as the bell rung telling them to go back to their class.
the rest of the day went by uneventfully except for the fact that she noticed Coach Hedge lingering around.
Clarisse didn't take the bus home that day. A huge mistake she and Chris decided to walk home. There were coyotes really big coyotes that chased them for five blocks Until something or someone scared them away.
Clarisse walked into her house panting heavily. She was scared and she hated felling that way. She walked into the kitchen where her step father was sitting.
'Hey Matthew" Clarisse said to him.
"What's wrong, are you ok" he asked.
"Nothing, where's my mom"Clarisse asked.
"She won't be back until tomorrow." he replied.
"Did she say anything about her hostage" Clarisse asked hopefully.
"Uh yes" he said
Clarisse got really excited, she'd been grounded for nine whole days.
"She's gonna keep your PlayStation...I mean her hostage until you finish that list of chores she's been asking you to do for the last two weeks.
She groaned and grabbed the list that looked like it just kept getting longer and longer.
That night she was actually able to sleep since her ADHD kept her awake most nights. Just her luck she finally gets to sleep and she has nightmares about monsters attacking, wild boars and someone in red armor dying.
Whew we made it to the end. I thought it would be fun to give Clarisse a back story. As always please read and review. *leaves behind snacks* See you next chapter.
