Okay then, time for chapter 2!
Once we got to school, Alex and I slipped into Math. "Ugh, I think people invented Math just to torture us." I groaned as we slipped into our seats.
"What we really need to be learning is Greek Mythology!" Said Alex his eyes sparkling. He stared into space for more that five minutes.
"Uh… earth to Alex?" I said waving my hand in front of his face. He blinked. "Huh? Oh sorry Nerissa, you know how I like Greek Mythology.
I nodded. That was one of the main reasons we were friends, we both liked Greek Mythology.
"I think it would be so cool if the Gods really did exist!" I said beaming. "Uh… yeah!
Heh heh." He said nervously. "Um, you okay Al?" I asked him.
"Me? Oh I'm fine! Yep! Never better!" He said quickly. And you think I'd believe him? Oh heck no.
Our math teacher, Ms. Rossi came in and began to write math problems on the board. After Math, we went to English, Social Studies, and well, most of you are past 6th grade, you should know.
*After School.*
Alex and I hopped on the bus with everybody else. Since we were in front-
"BA-A-A-A-CK SEATS!" Cried Alex rushing to the back. For a second, I thought he sounded like a goat.
It took a while to get home, since our houses were so far away. We were the last people on the bus, and we were going on a veeeery bumpy road.
"A-re y-y-you o-o-okay s-s-so f-ar???" He asked me as the bus vibrated like a massage chair.
"I-I-I've g-got-ten used t-to I-I-it! I replied as my head banged against the wall. "Ow!" I cried as I rubbed my head.
"HEY YOU!" The bus driver yelled as he looked back at us. The bus swerved to the left, knocking me into Alex. "Um.. Me?" I asked looking back at him.
"YEAH YOU!" He said as he walked back towards me. "STOP JUMPING ON THE SEATS!"
"Oh no sir! See, the back seat is very bumpy, so-"
"SILENCE!"
"Um sir, I don't mean to be rude," Said Alex, "BUT NOBODY'S DRIVING THE BUS!!!!!" He cried. His eyes got yellow with tiny black slits.
"Um, what the heck just happened to your eyes?!?" I asked as the bus driver continued to slowly walk towards us.
"I'll explain later! Right now we NEED TO GET OFF THIS BUS!!!"
"Why?" I asked. Stupid, stupid, question.
Suddenly, the bus driver changed. I mean, LITERALLY, CHANGED!
His head started to change from a man's head, to what looked like a bull's head. His body got all furry, and at the body, and he had hooves. (You know, our old buddy the Minotaur?)
"W-What the heck is going on?" I asked as he got closer. "I'll explain later!" Alex yelled as what used to be my bus driver charged at us like a bull.
I screamed and looked for a way to dodge him. No room. The only way to go was-
I jumped into the air, surprisingly making me do a front flip. I fell down and landed on my feet with ease.
"Whoa!" I cried as I stumbled a little bit. "What the heck did I just do?"
"Nerissa!" Cried Alex. I looked over. He was trying to steer the bus away from the road. "I need you to distract the bull, and maybe you know, KILL HIM IN THE PROCESS!"
"What? How in the name of Zeus do you want me to do that???" I cried trying to dodge the bull thing.
"Try to rip out his horn and stab him with it!!!" He cried. "Gross, but okay!" I replied as I ran behind the bull. He stumbled forward. Now was my chance.
I leapt forward onto his back. He was sooooo mad! He bucked and flailed trying to shake me off.
But that just made me even more mad.
I kicked his head which made him scream... Sort of. (Can bulls scream?) I tried to summon all of my strength, (Which is pretty hard to do when on a bucking bronco.) and tugged the massive horns. He wailed and kicked, but it was no use. Soon, I had ripped the horn out of his head (Uh… ouch?) and stabbed hum in the side. He wailed one last time, and he disappeared, leaving gold, glittery stuff on the ground.
I fell onto the ground. "Uh… ouch." I groaned as I got up and dusted the powder off my shirt. "Well since that monster thing is gone, I think now would be the perfect time and place to explain to me WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!?"
"No." Said Alex. "Wait till we get to camp."
"Uh huh.. Camp?" I asked.
"Like I said," Replied Alex. "I'll explain everything later.
So how was it? Good? Bad? Please review!
