Hello! I hope you readers enjoy this story and leave reviews telling me what you thought about it. Give me criticism, give me idea's of what you want to see happen, and enjoy this story!
The day started out like any other, I went to school, hung out with friends, and went home. I was a normal fifteen year old girl; some might not agree like popular kids and the cheerleaders, oh the dreaded cheerleaders. They looked down on any girl who didn't act and dress exactly like them, which would be skimpy little skirts, tank tops that barely covered their stomach, and stripper heels. They also acted like complete stuck up rich kids who if they didn't get what they wanted they would throw a huge tantrum until they got what they wanted.
My friends and I tended to have quite a good time pulling pranks on them, which included filling their lockers with rubber spiders, hiding their uniforms and pom poms in the boy's bathroom, and occasionally sneaking green hair dye into the schools shampoo and conditioner in the showers.
The only bad thing about today when Kris, Danny, and I (I hang out with mostly guys) were sneaking into the girls locker room to make one of the girls look like she had slime in her hair, we got caught. Jasmine, the head cheerleader, had figured that it was our group and knew that we would strike again so she got the principle and the two stood outside of the girl's locker room.
As Kris and I filled the bottles with green hair dye, Danny kept guard to make sure no one was coming. We finished and made sure the coast was clear before leaving the shower rooms, we quickly ran to the door and opened it to leave but we were stopped dead in our tracks.
"Uh Principle Perry, how are you today sir? And is that a new tie? I love the pattern."
Principle Perry was a tall man that was bald and had a big cowboy mustache, he wore a suit and tie with a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. Obviously someone could tell that he liked country things. He looked at me and replied "Sam, what have I told you about doing things like this?"
"How do you know I did anything?"
He caught a glance at my hands and replied "Your hands are stained green."
I quickly looked at my hands and noticed they were stained green "Dammit!" I then hid them behind my back and looked back at Principle Perry "No they're not" Jasmine looked at me with an evil smile "Ha! Serves you right for torturing my poor girls."
"Oh you totally deserved it!"
"And you deserve being in a mental institution!"
"That would be a lot better than being here and having to see your Halloween mask you call a face!"
"Oh that is it!"
She stomped towards me and had her hands out like she was going to claw at me "Oh yeah, you wanna go?!"
I tried jumping on her but Kris and Danny picked me up by my arms and held me in the air "Put me down! Just let me get one swing at her face!" I lashed my legs towards Jasmine and she blocked me kicks with her hands, suddenly she froze and screamed "You broke my nail!"
She ran away with her cell phone to her ear making an appointment for a manicure and yelling for her friends to follow her. Kris and Danny put me down and I smiled victoriously to myself, I then looked back to Principle Perry and my smile quickly faded.
"You three, come with me to my office."
The three of us replied "Yes sir" and followed Principle Perry to his office. The three of us sat in the chairs in front of his desk and listened to him talk; I spaced out after about a minute of him talking and pretended to listen.
After a few minutes he said my name, when he didn't get an answer he tried again and still no answer so he tried a third time. Danny slapped my arms and I snapped out of my daydream "Ow! What was that for?!"
He pointed to Principle Perry and I looked at him "Oh, I'm sorry sir what were you say?"
He let out a sigh "Kris, Danny, you two may leave now."
"Wait guys don't leave me!"
They two left the room and I slumped in my chair "You guys suck"
"Sam pay attention."
"Hm? Yea I am."
He took in a deep breath and spoke "Do you remember what we talked about the last time that you came to visit me?"
"That if I got in trouble again that you would have to suspend me."
"Exactly, and now that will have to happen. Just answer me this, why did you do it?"
"Because I hate Jasmine and I didn't think I would have gotten caught any time soon."
He sighed again and balanced his chin on his hands "Sam you know I like you, you're a good kid and you know that I hate punishing people but it's come to that for you. This is the eighth time this year that you've been sent in here, you're only a sophomore and aren't creating a good reputation for yourself. I do hope that you will change during your suspension."
"I'll try only if my step mom doesn't scream at me to death first."
"Alright, now I will see you in two weeks. Hopefully with a better attitude."
He dismissed me and I left his office, it was the end of seventh period and there was only a few minutes until the bell rang to let school out. I went to my locker and got my stuff; I took out my skateboard and slung my backpack over my shoulder.
I found Kris and Danny waiting at the front of the school and we left a little early to play video games at Kris's place. When we got to Kris's house Danny and I immediately ran up to Kris's room to battle over who got the better controller, I of course won since my dad taught me how to wrestle.
Kris came up with some drinks and a few big bags of chips and we started playing Mega Fighters 4. I won the first round, Danny won the second round, and Kris won the third round. We would have continued playing but I heard my phone play a Good Charlotte song and it was a text from Dad saying to come home and that he needed to talk to me.
Kris looked over and asked "You listen to Good Charlotte? They're so old."
"So is your mom but you still listen to her."
"Hey that is different, and she's only 48."
"Anyways I gotta jet, I'll see you later."
I left Kris's house and rode my board back to my apartment only to be greeted by a women screaming at me, better known as my step mom. "We got a call from the school saying that you got suspended! Young lady you are in so much trouble!"
"Oh can it would you? I hate hearing you talk."
She gasped and looked at Dad angrily "Take care of this Richard." She stormed off into the other room to watch some TV and get me out of her head. "Could you at least be a little nicer to her?"
"If she stopped yelling in my face whenever I came back then maybe."
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "So you got suspended?"
"Hehe yeah"
"Sam what have I told you about this? But that isn't what I wanted to talk to you about."
"Then what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's go into your room for this."
"Um alright"
We made our way into my room and Dad closed the door, I sat on my bad and Dad sat next to me. He looked at me and began to speak "I got a call today from a friend and it was about you. He told me that I have to send you away."
"What?!"
"Don't worry it's nothing bad but there is something that I haven't told you yet. You know how your mother left us when you were little?" I nodded and he continued "Well there was a reason for that and the reason is that…she is one of the Greek gods."
"Dad seriously, stop messing with me. It's not funny."
"I wish I was messing with you but I'm not, Aphrodite is your birth mother and you are a demi god."
"Wait why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"Because I didn't feel that it was the right time but now I had to tell you, now start packing. We're leaving tonight."
"Wait Dad-"
Before I could finish he cut me off and left the room. "Well alright then!" I pulled out my suitcase from under my bed and began packing my stuff; I put in my headphones and listened to my favorite band, Good Charlotte.
I finished packing after about an hour because all I needed was clothes, electronics, toiletries, and other things. I rolled my suitcase to the living room and stood it next to the couch; I went to the fridge and took out a few slices of left over pizza to heat up in the microwave.
I charged my phone to make sure I had a full battery for the car ride since I didn't know how long it would be. I ate my pizza on the couch and watched My Cat from Hell on Animal Planet; Dad walked into the room and said "Okay we need to leave as soon as you're done eating."
"What? I thought we were leaving tonight?"
"Yea plans got switched, the sooner you get to where you need to be the better."
"Ugh fine but I'm not scarfing down my pizza." I continued to eat and Dad took my suitcase to put in his car. I finished eating soon after and got a quick drink of water, I walked out to the car and waited while Dad said goodbye to the she devil.
He came out to the car and I started my music, I held my skateboard in my lap and he turned the car on and drove out of New York. The rode that he took was completely empty except for a fenced off area that was filled with sheep and cows. Soon he stopped the car in front of a path that led into the forest; he got out of the car and took my suit case out.
I got out of the car and held my board at my side and looked at Dad "Uh Dad, Why are you stopping and taking out my suitcase?"
"Because this is where you need to be, you're going to be at a special camp for other demi gods. Camp half blood."
He gave me a hug and got back into the car "Wait so you're just leaving me here?!"
"Just follow the path and you'll find the gate. Love you!"
"Wait so does that mean I'm off the hook for getting suspended?"
"Not even close. Bye sweetie."
He started the car and turned it around and drove off into the sunset, I watched him as he drove away and I rolled my suitcase behind me as I walked onto the path into the forest. I started up my music as I walked and walked for a few minutes, it started to get dark and I was getting tired.
I stopped in front of a tree and put my suitcase next to me, I sat on the ground and leaned on the tree and decided to go to sleep. I could find the camp when it was brighter outside and I had more energy.
