I am normal. I hope that if I keep saying that it will happen, Liv says I'm wasting my time, she might be right. But you won't understand anything unless I start from the beginning, so here I go.

I was siting in another boring history class, when the teacher saw me starting to doze off

"Miss Rose! Would you like to do us the honor of answering the question? you seem to find my lessons boring...aha! pop quiz tomorrow morning ought to do the trick" Mr. Alexander always knew when you weren't paying attention. He turned back to face everyone and continued his mind numbing lesson.

"Now who was Demeter's daughter? anyone?"a boy in the back of the class raised his hand

"Yes" Mr. Alexander nodded toward the boy,

"May I go to the bathroom?" he asked shyly. A beat. "No! this is basic! Persephone! Hades wife! do you kids learn anything in this class?" he boiled over

"Some of you will need to know this in your life!" I followed his gaze to the back of a room where a girl sat filing her nails, with a ruler. He gritted his teeth and looked about to explode. Luckily for her the bell rang.

Everyone started to leave but before I could go "Miss Rose and Miss filed nails could you come see me now" I knew it wasn't a question so I walked over to his desk and so did she.

"Callista, Olivia" he sighed and pulled out a wad of folded cash and put it in my hand, we both stared at him and at each other, confused.

"What is this for?" she asked

"I need you two to go into that car" he pointed to a navy blue Honda, that looked awfully scary to two 12 year olds. but he looked more scared than us. We both stared at him and Olivia spoke up

"What? Why?" she asked

but before he could answer the door flew open, and two abnormally large figures came in. it took me few seconds to notice the horse legs, and pointed fangs. Olivia and I screamed, or maybe it was just me. they smiled at us and licked their lips.

"Callista Rose and Olivia Stone. What a pleasure"

I didn't know what they meant and frankly I really didn't want to find out.

That's when Mr. Alexander came to the rescue

"Girls, the window! now!" I wasn't in the mood to argue so I turned my back on the monsters and lunged towards the window. i hoped Olivia was doing the same. He had managed to remove the glass completely. but it still would only fit one of us at a time, barely.

"You go first!" Olivia said next to me as the monsters pushed the tables and chairs away from there path, they where seconds away from us and I new I couldn't let Olivia get hurt

"no! you go I distract them!" I said forcefully, pushing her towards towards Mr. Alexander.

"No!" she cried out but Mr. Alexander had grabbed her hand and was pushing her out the window, I turned to face the monsters. i looked around wildy, for something to throw. From the corner of my eye I saw her run toward the Blue mini van. who's doors slid opened as she got to the car.

Olivia's ruler, i remembered her dropping it on the floor near Mr. Alexander's desk, and stepped towards the table which happened to be towards the monsters.

"HA! my brave little minx! running toward the danger!" he cracked his knuckles and smiled wickedly, he bent down and picked up a purple piece of plastic, a ruler. and threw it at the wall on the other side of the classroom, and he and the other one started advancing. i was screwed.

suddenly I- well someone gave me a crazy idea, someone that was in my head.

command them said a voice. I knew it was a crazy idea, but what did I have to lose? In the least shaky voice I could muster I said "Hey! um- big guys sit" it sounded more like a question. nothing happened.

demand it said the voice. they were about to cut me in half when I screamed at the top of my lungs

"SIT!" they both sat on their bottoms in shock. But I was way more shocked than them.

before I had time to realize what had just happened Mr. Alexander grabbed my arm and pushed me out the window. I found myself face forward in grass, all my bones hurt, I felt like I was about to pass out. But somehow, I got up and ran towards the car. The door slid open just like it had for Olivia, and I half stumbled half fell in,the door slid shut behind me, just as I heard a ear shattering monster's roar. and we zoomed away.

as soon as i was buckled in, I looked to see who was driving. A guy around 16, and next to him a women in her mid 40's that may have been his mom, they had matching heads of tousled brown hair.

"muffin?" asked the woman holding out a box "chocolate chip, home made"

I eyed the muffins suspiciously.

"um...no thank you" I manage "I'm fine"

"so where exactly are you taking us?" I asked cautiously.

"camp"

"camp?"

she laughs softly, and I found it oddly reassuring. "you'll see"

I wanted to ask more her more questions, but Olivia shook her head, as if to say don't bother I already tried. I nod back to show her that I understand, and she goes back to staring out the window, and at drift off.
