I was having a pretty good day, until an owl landed in my lap. That was the end of my sanity. I was sitting in the courtyard, studying with my three best friends, Percy, Grover, and Cassidy. We had an Ancient Greek test, and I was gonna ace it. Even though I had ADHD and dyslexia, I sill got all A's. About half way through the study session, I heard a rustling noise in the tree behind us. I doubt the others even heard, it was so quiet. I immediately spun around and balled my fists, ready for a fight. Then I heard the laughing, I sat back down and snapped, "What?"
Percy just laughed and said, "We're laughing because of you. You're constantly on guard and you don't trust anything or anyone!" I just replied, "One of these days, I'm gonna have to save you, and you'll be sorry for doubting me. Anyways, what do you think was in the tree? Do you think it was a bird?" "No way!" exclaimed Grover. "Is that an owl?" I immediately turned around on the ground. "It is!" I yelled. The owl swooped down and landed in my lap. "Woah! You'd think that a bird would fly away at the sound of a voice, not towards it," I thought aloud. Grover and Percy shared a worried look. "Hey Camille... um..I forgot that um... Mr. Brunner wanted to talk to us in...um... his office," said Grover. "Umm, OK. Let's go," I replied. I shot an odd look at Cassidy and Percy, as if I was saying, What the heck? They shrugged, as if they didn't know what was going on. We walked to Mr. Brunner's office, but it didn't seem like he expected us. Grover immediately said, "Um, Mr. Brunner, an owl got really close to us." "I see," Mr. Brunner replied. "Well, I called you here today to tell you both that, due to an excessive amount of students, we have to cut some students. Sadly, that includes you two and Percy." "What?!" I screamed. "You can't do that! It's so unfair! Wait, why isn't Percy here? You did say he was cut, didn't you?" "Percy already knows," said Mr. Brunner. "You will leave tomorrow." "Fine," I said. There's no point in arguing. I returned to my room to start packing. I was done in a half hour. I didn't bring much, just some clothes, office supplies, and money. Cassidy came into the room and said, "I heard what happened! I'm so sorry!" "It's ok," I said back. "I'll come by and visit. I promise." I started crying. I really didn't want to leave, but I didn't have a choice. "Hey," I said. "Do you want to do something fun?"
"What?", asked Cassidy. "You'll see!" I exclaimed.
