"Lexia! C'MON! We are going to have to run it again if we don't get under 45 minutes this time!" Hope yelled, her red hair flinging over her shoulder as she looked back at me. She was smiling, even when we had to do a 15 mile run in the 98 degree (fare height, not Celsius) heat. Twice. And if it wasn't for me, she probably would be done before Jason. Yah. You heard me. Jason, as in Jason Grace. On a good day she probably would beat Reyna. What I mean by a good day is when I am sick.
"I-wheeze-AM-wheeze-TRYING!" I yelled, and summoned all my strength to raise my leg again to take another step. I couldn't hear them, but I knew up in front all the kids were laughing at me.
"You can do it Lex!" Hope yelled as she crossed the finish line.
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
The timer blew his whistle a second after I passed the finish line.
"Sorry Lexia. You're going to have to do it again. Rex looked at me with sympathy.
"Its-wheeze-fine. Send a–wheeze-search-wheeze-party to find-wheeze-my body." I said jokingly, standing on my wobbly feet, almost collapsing.
"EVERYONE! CONGARADULATIONS ON YOUR SUCESSFUL RUN! EVERYONE GO DOWN TO THE MESS HALL FOR A BANQUET!" Reyna yelled into her megaphone, and everyone cheered but me. I had to do it again. As everyone made their way to the banquet, I walked back to the beginning of the course. A hand rested on my shoulder. It was Hope.
"Don't feel so down. I know you will get it this last time!" Hope said, trying to spread her happiness. I looked away and brushed her hand off my shoulder.
"You go on. You can go have fun with your cabinmates. Your batter off without me anyway."
"You know that's not true. Besides. They aren't as cool as you."
"That's a lie, and you know it. I have to get to the starting line. Besides, you don't want a boulder like me sitting next to you. Ill break the chair again."
"No you wont! That was the first day you were hear! You have lost a lot of weight since then!" Hope said.
"Don't you have a banquet to go to? Besides. I could do without the calories." Isaid, walking away.
"I will save a plate for you!" Hope called after me.
"Don't bother." I sighed, and went to do my third lap.
Hi. My name is Lexia Vugar and I am 15 years old, 5' 4" and 223 lbs. (for you other country people its 101.51 kilograms) and the laughing stock of the entire camp. It would be on thing if it was a normal summer camp, but in a camp of super-fit badass demigod fighting machines (otherwise known as Camp Jupiter) I stuck out like a sore thumb, or a broken sword in an armory.
*SCENE CHANGE*
"GETUP!GETUP!GETUP!"
I groaned and rolled over. My legs felt like they were jelly.
"UPUPUP! EVERYONE UPPPPPPPPPP!"
I groaned again and stood up, then nearly fell down again. The kids around me snickered. Let 'em laugh. I thought, and opened my suitcase that was stored under my bunk. We all have our battles. I made my way to the showers and heard some snickering. I looked up just to see my towel being taken from the towel hook.
"ELIZABETH! LANIA! HARPER! GIVE IT BACK!"
"Who's gonna make us? You would be out of breath before you got five feet!" Laina taunted, and the other two laughed.
"Who's gonna make you?!" Hope's voice boomed in the cavernous shower house. The laughter quickly stopped. " I am you little-" I stood paralyzed in the stall.
Three seconds later the towel was back on the hook. I peaked my head out and gave hope a grateful look, and dried myself off.
"BREKFAST!"
*SCENE CHANGE*
When I sat down on the benches, it sunk its normal 5 inches. I sighed and began to eat my oatmeal.
Behind me, groans and the sound of exchanged money filled the air.
If you have not guessed, they are betting on what day the bench will give out.
In under 10 seconds flat I was flat on my but and whipping orange juice out of my eyes. The bench had just snapped, and in my shock I had dropped my glass, which just happened to be filled to the brim.
Hope ran over and gave me some napkins and tried to help me to my feet. (read: tried to help me) Laughing surrounded me at all sides.
Praetor Zhang tried to regain order, but no one was listening.
"EVERYONE! BACK TO YOUR SEATS." Reyna said into the microphone, and immediately everyone sat down, and I could see money exchanged. I felt like I was close to tears.
Hope helped me change and soon it was time for the morning activities
When we rejoined the campers for roll call, I barely made it in time.
"Vugar, Lexia?"
"Present." I whispered embarrassed.
"Abse-"
"PRESENT!" I yelled. Someone started muttering about my cheeks jiggling when I yelled.
F*** them. Life is hard for a girl like me. But I am strong enough to get through it.
Right?
Please give me reviews! Even if you hate it, tell me why so I can fix it! If you rally liked it, tell me why so I don't STOP doing it!
Open to suggestions and OCs!
Lots Of Love,
