Clowning Glory: Connor
"Bro, we've hit a new low" I said looking at the clown beside me.
"Your telling me" Travis replied resting his head in his hands.
"Well!" I said standing up "I don't know about you but I'm going to take a shower."
Travis stood up his head was hung with rejection.
We made our way towards the Hermes cabin praying we didn't run into anyone, but fate is an ugly hag who needs the makeover Travis and I got.
We were about a hundred yards off from our cabin, when we heard the clomp, clomp of hooves, I look up to see Chiron in his centaur form which was awkward enough without adding the fact that Travis and I looked like clowns.
Travis and I froze and held our collective breaths waiting for Chiron to speak. Chiron stopped and stared at us not saying anything. I search his face for any sign of what his thought were.
Not saying a word Chiron trotted past us like the situation had never happened.
After he left Travis sighed with relief. "Boy that was a close one."
"Let's get to the cabin before anyone else sees us." I told him.
We broke into a run towards the Hermes cabin when we reached it Travis flung the door open and ran smack into Mr. D.
"Watch where you're going!" Mr. D snapped. His eyes met our face shooting daggers. But when he saw us his expiration changed to an amused scowled. "Don't you two look beautiful this morning. Get into Aphrodite's Cosmetics again did we?"
Our half-brothers and sisters came up behind Mr. D, on seeing us the burst out with laughter.
"Hey Connor and Travis the Aphrodite beauty pageant was last week" One said.
"Are we running away to join the circus?" Offered another.
"Ronald McDonald called, he wants to sue you for plagiarism!" Chimed in a third.
Mr. D took a sip of his Dr. Pepper clearly enjoying the insults. He shook his head and pushed past us like the joke had gotten boring to him.
The cabin we still roaring with laughter and jokes, as Travis and I made our way to the showers with our heads hung low.
When we got in our showers, I scrubbed my face till I was sure it was bleeding, I exited the shower and found the mirror. "Are kidding me!" I exclaimed seeing the clown staring back at me. I ran back in the shower and resumed scraping my face off, when I heard Travis Yell
"Oh, come on!" before returning to his own shower.
It took us both six showers a piece before we returned to our normal selves all though I was pretty sure I was short a couple layers of skin.
"Bro." Travis said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"We are so getting back at the Aphrodite cabin!"
