Here goes nothing...

Hey there guys, I'm Skyler! A little bit about me is that I am 16, have blonde hair and blue eyes and I am best friends with Chris Rodriguez, my crush. I don't get why he's my friend when he's like the most hottest boy in school and is constantly invited to sit with the 'cool' kids, but he just declines and sticks with the nobodies. (Not that anybody who isn't in the popular group is a nobody... I'm not in the popular group either.) He is always asked out by many people, but turns them down, but today we all found out why...

We had just come into the Gym when we realised our usual teacher, Coach Hale wasn't here. In his place, was a small man with a baseball bat. He didn't look familiar, but Chris seemed to know him since he'd shouted, "Coach Hedge! What are you doing here?" 'Coach Hedge' turned around and greeted him in a hushed whisper. I strained to hear. " Smelled...Demigod...Cupcake..." Demigod?what's that? Chris responded in the same hushed tone, " Her... Sky...Dyslexic..." Chris and I were both Dyslexic were both dyslexic, but what did that have to do with demigods?

They finally stopped talking when the Gym had started to fill in with kids. Chris joined me at the back of the rest of the kids. " Listen up cupcakes! I'm your fill in coach for today and we're going to be doing some sword fighting today," this earned a lot of excited whispers including me. In fact I was so excited that I whooped, "Shut up! Anyway, I'm not actually going to be teaching since we have an instructor from a camp in Long Island." He winked at Chris and I looked over at Chris to see him smiling widely.

Just then a buff girl with brown hair and brown eyes came through the Gym doors. She was wearing a red bandana across her forehead. " I give you Clarisse! Good Luck cupcakes!" he then limped over to the bench. All eyes turned the girl when she cleared her throat. " Listen up punks! Today, we're doing sword fighting. I'm gonna need a volunteer!" Two hands went up, Jack, a jock and Chris.

She pointed at Jack, completely ignoring Chris. " You, come here." Jack stepped forward and walked over. " Now listen closely, I'm going to be demonstrating some moves on him an-" She was cut off by Jack scoffing. "Please, I've been learning sword fighting for three years now, I can easily beat you." Clarisse smirked and I heard Chris stifle a laugh beside me. "Ok then." was all she said. They started fighting and in one second flat, Jack's sword was dismantled and at his neck." Three years my a**. Get back in line." Chris stifled a laugh as Jack scrambled back towards the rest of the kids.

"Now Rodriguez! Get your backside up here!" Chris came forward with his hands up. He laughed lightly. "Ok ok, I'm coming." How did they know each other? He grabbed a wooden sword and got ready to fight. They fought for a couple minutes at an amazing speed. They lashed, parried and deflected each others blades until Clarisse finally dismantled his sword and had one sword at his throat and another at the back of his neck. How did he learn to fight like that?! They were pro! She let him go and Chris leaned forward, capturing his lips in hers. There were many gasps and they stayed like that for a couple of seconds. I felt sad, but it was quite obvious that they weren't going to be breaking up, judging by the looks of love they gave each other. They made a cute couple anyway.

When they broke apart, Clarisse smirked. "Alright Rodriguez, you can give me back my stuff now." Chris handed her a wallet, a beaded necklace similar to his own and other things like gum and shades. How did he manage to take them without anyone noticing?! "You're missing one more thing." She looked at him pointedly and he sighed. He fished out a ring out of his pocket and handed it to her. He then retrieved another and slid it onto his own finger. What? He was engaged? " I don't get why you took that when you're the one who gave it to me." Chris just shrugged and smirked.

They turned to us all, as if finally registering that we were there. They both blushed when I squealed and ran forward. "Chris! You never told me you were engaged or even had a girlfriend?! That must explain why you turned down practically everyone!" I smacked my forehead. Clarisse smirked. She turned to him and said " Apollo." he nodded and laughed. For the rest of the lesson, both of the continued to teach us how to sword fight.

When the lesson had ended and I'd gotten dressed, I saw Chris and Clarisse hugging with his arms around her waist and her arms around his neck. I fought the urge to squeal and walked in front of them. I clapped my hands loudly and they broke apart blushing, but Chris kept his arm around her waist. I grinned and held out my hand to Clarisse. "Hey there! I'm Skylar, Chris' great friend!" She smiled at me.

Before she could say anything, a giant mastiff broke through the Gym doors. I was mildly suprised. The reason? Because I've always seen these monstrous things. I just kept quiet about since if probably be dragged of to a mental institute. Clarisse and Chris grabbed ? They attacked and thirty seconds later, the thing exploded into golden dust! So cool! " That was so cool! You guys were like this and then this and then that." I shrieked while mimicking a bunch of moves. Clarisse laughed, "OK girl, you're obviously a demigod, so you'll have to come with us to camp." I squealed. Yeah! I'm going to that camp that Chris always talks about! We walked out of school and into a van called Delphi strawberries and drove to 'camp'.

It was so amazing! During the campfire, I was claimed as a daughter of Apollo.
