Hi guys! I've chosen to take a break from Only Son and wander into a one shot. Let's go...
It had been a long day. I finally managed to get my turn in the bathroom. As usual, I was the last to go to bed. Many of my teamates were long asleep as I approached myself in the mirror.
Today had been a close encounter with Cronus, and it had left a deep gash from my left cheek to my chin. By now, the blood was all gone and all that remained was the imprint of the wound. Chiron had given me some stuff to cover it up, but it wasn't working. But anything stronger, and the medication would burn up my face into a piece of charcoal. So it looked like it was going to be a scar that I would have to carry for the rest of my life.
I didn't like it. It made me look cold and dark. Theresa said it looked kinda cool, but I think she was just sugarcoating it. I wondered what I was going to tell my friends. Not my teamates. They saw it when Cronus went for a swipe at my neck. Thank Zeus I was one inch too far away. I wasn't talking about those friends. I'm talking about the ones who didn't know about my passtime. I was thinking of stories in my head. They ranged from a tree smacking me in the face to wrestling a bear. I decided to stick with with the tree.
I checked my clock. 1AM on a school night. I always let the others get ready before me. Herry and odie had their bathroom in the basement so the dint come up for our bathroom. It always started with Niel who had been known to get caught looking at himself in the mirror for a few hours. Archie and Atlanta went afterwards. Neither of them took long at all, compensating for Neil. Then it was always Theresa before me. She frequently offered me it first but I always let her go first. If it means I suffer from less sleep so they can have more, that's fine with me. I'm the leader. Its my job to sacrifice for my team.
I missed out on chemistry class yesterday. Hermes called me in the middle of test and I was forced to leave. Again. Mrs Gumtree never liked me much because of that. I decided I probably should apologize and replan the test. She's a hard woman to negotiate with though. I stroked my new scar. I knew that tomorrrow was going to be a long day as well...
