Unpredicted

Chapter Two
~"What just happened..."~

"Kallisto?"

A familiar husky voice cooed in my ear.

"Wha—?"
My eyes flickered open. And guess who I saw?
"You!"

I shouted, jumping up.

"You is actually Hektor... You forgot already!"

He exclaimed, mocking hurt. I rolled my eyes and looked around, vision still blurry. He took my shoulders and lay

me back down.

"You are in the nurses office. Luckily, you only got a few scratches and scrapes."

I looked to the side to see my friend huddled up in the corner. She had dark chocolate brown hair with bright green eyes and freckles splashed across her face like constellations.
"Allie?"
I asked. "Is that you?"

My voice a bit slurred. Allie grinned from ear to ear and walked over.

"Yeah?"

She asked in a sweet voice.
"You were the one that called me, didn't you?"

Allie's face turned red as a beet.
"Of course 'Listy."

She smiled sheepishly, laughing somewhat but...
"Oh god!"

I looked up at the clock to see it was 11:40, almost lunch. "NO!"

Groaning, looking at the stack of papers and books next to my hammock. Yes, when you got injured you swung in a hammock.

"It's okay, it could've been worse, right?"

Hektor put in, shrugging.
"I guess..."
A grudging Kallisto replied.
"C'mon, lunch today is chicken wrap with cheese and corn!"

Added Allie. I raced out of the door into the empty hallway.
"Let's get lunch!"

I called out as a wave of students began to flow out as the bell rang on and on. We ran towards lunch and grabbed the chicken wraps, which I munched down on hungrily. Hektor laughed softly. "Shu' 'p!"
My mouth mumbled through a mouthful of food.

Hektor flung his hands up.

"I was just... commenting on your eating!"

This time, Allie laughed but her smile faded. The idiot jocks, Bruce and his 'crew' strutted past us. When they saw Hektor,

They began to crack jokes.

"Looks like Hektor found some love..."

"Going on the girl side eh? Hek'?"

"Now you betraying you body parts? Need help cutting it off?"

Hektor's red face now turned a shade of purple.
"SHUT UP!"

He shouted, banging his fists on the table standing up.

"Oooh, need your mama to defend you?"

Bruce stepped forward. Everyone seemed to close in on the fight. Hektor was so mad, you could almost see smoke

billowing out his ears.

"Fuck you."

He said calmly, glaring at him. My eyes widened in shock at his

foul language.

"Do you really wanna go there, huh?"
Everyone was now pressing against them chanting.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Bruce smiled at the big crowd as if he were surrounded by millions of fan girls.

"Gladly."

He said softly, punching randomly at Hektor. A blow caught his jaw and his usual blue eyes turned a shade of cruel silver. A fire seemed to be dancing in his eyes and suddenly, the electrical cords seemed to snake slowly around the crowd and pressed onto Bruce's sweaty ankles. Hektor punched him in the nose, causing it to get bloody and tripped on the cords. They snaked around him and eventually, he got so sweaty that electricity passed into his body.

"Yow!"

Small sparks spurted from his body and Hektor grabbed Allie's and my hand. He raced us to the field and let us scamper into the trees. Hektor jumped up and smiled at us faintly.

"Did you really—?"

I began nervously.

"No."

I let out a breathe of relief.
"You did."

Suddenly, the clean air seemed to suffocate me.

"Wh-what?"

I shouted in shock.

"We have to get you to camp, before it is to late!"

Allie stared at something above my head.

"What Allie?"

I asked briskly. With a shaky finger, she pointed at the glowing lightning bolt above my head...
