Half- WHAT?
For me, Marina Nguyen, it was a perfectly normal day at Chaboya High school. Chaboya housed grades 6-12, which was kind of weird. My schedule was the same as always, except instead of Ms. Murray for Greek (which I excelled at for some reason), we had a substitute, Mr. Grey. He looked old, but something about the geezer bothered me. Thank god I have this class with my best friend, Eben (It is NOT weird that a guy is my best friend) . Also, I have a knife that unfolds to a sword that I got from my father. I don't see him, because my mom says it's impossible. The knife was for my early 12th birthday. It's coming up in two or three weeks, on September 2nd.
It was weird. Whenever Mr. Grey smiled, I saw fangs, a super ugly face, and webbed hands. Eben didn't look so swell either. He was sweating and murmuring in a language I realize is Ancient Greek. And I know that because-? Something is wrong. Definitely wrong.
What's even weirder was that some of my classmates were flickering as well. Stacey, a frenemy of mine, broke into pale sweat, as if she could see the monsters too.
'Eben, what's going on?' I hissed, but all I heard was mumbling. Was he calling someone? It was possible. He had his head under his jacket.
'Marina?' Mr. Grey asked," Come up here please." I gulped nervously and fingered the knife. I was gonna stab the heck out of Mr. Grey- whatever he was.
'Yes?'
'Die!' he snarled, and before I knew it, I had brought the knife up and pushed it into his chest. Interestingly, 'Mr. Grey' exploded into gold dust. Some of my classmates had turned into the same thing Mr. Grey did.
'You want some? Come and get some!' As I was about to slice some alien booty, Eben grabbed me and Stacy and shoved us out the door. Christopher and his friend Billy met us.
'Hey! What's going on?' I asked, all confused like. Chris just shrugged and followed Eben, who seemed to know where we were going.
When we crossed the street, Billy called a taxi.
'Half-blood hill please," he said. I wondered where that was. Without a clue, and still wondering why Stacey was still doing here, Eben ushered me into the taxi.
'You guys owe me some answers! First, I was attacked by ugly seal dog people, and now, we're going to a Half-blood Hill. I've never even heard of that place, and I've lived here in Manhattan for my whole life.
'Chiron will explain to you when you get there. All we need to do is get past the tree! Please Zeus, let me get them across the tree this time.' Billy and Eben were murmuring under their breaths.
Wait a minute! THIS TIME? Like there were other times that people were in this kind of situation and they didn't survive? My ADHD was acting and I kept on looking back and forth, looking for any monsters. Screeching to a halt, the taxi stopped at Half-Blood hill. I couldn't believe it! It was just a strawberry field. THAT was supposed to save us? Oh well. It's more than meets the eye, right? And what did I have to lose? I followed Eben wordlessly, and listlessly, for my day couldn't get any weirder. As I neared the house on the horizon, I felt my knees buckle beneath me and blackness envelope me. Just before I fainted, I saw a man-horse (a centaur?) run towards me with a curly haired boy. Were they going to help me? I faded into the blackness.
