Not all the chapters will be as long as the first! Some have one scene change, some may have two.
Enough with the talk.
Most of you probably don't even read this!
***Start chapter 2***
"Sorry Mrs. Lewis!" Laura and I said in unison, sitting down at our assigned tables.
"Why, may I ask, where you so late?"'
"Ummmm-We had a bit of a delay, Mr. Smith held us back after class." Laura said, seting her bag on the ground, not looking at her.
"Mmm-Hmm. Riiiight. I will be sure to ask him why it took you two so long."
We looked at each other nervously. Busted.
We took the long way around since we had seen the empusai. It took us pretty long, and we barely avoided being caught by the Tardy Police.
"Please take out a pencil-NOT a pen- and paper and take notes on this video…." She let her voice trail off as she began setting up the projector, and the sound of binder rings being popped open and closed, and paper being rustled filled the room.
The video was something about the Pythagorean theorem, but my mind was far from being focused on math formulas.
I barely resisted letting out a high-pitched scream of excitement.
It was as if all my best and most wild dreams had come true, all the nights lying awake, considering what powers would be the best, and what world I would survive the longest in. But, at the same time, it was slowly turning into a nightmare. A quick glance at laura, and I knew she was thinking the same thing.
My hand began flying over the page suddenly, but instead of numbers and formulas, a list of bullet-pointed questions begun to take shape.
-Why was the girl at the school?
-Are there more monsters here I am unaware of?
-What are they here for ? (I highly doubt they were here for vacation)
-Does this mean PJO and HoO were/are real?!
-Is she here for ME!? Or just my friends? Or anyone I know?
-Am I just going crazy?!
-What will/would I do if she did/does come for my friends?
-Or, for that matter, what about my family?
-WHAT IF I DIE?!
-If I leave, what will happen to mom and dad, and my little brothers?
-what will they think?
-Greek or Roman?
-Are any fanfictions real to?
I paused my list for a moment, tapping my pencil against my chin, reviewing my list, then I begun to start another section
HOW TO PROCEED:
Avoid the monster at all costs.
Build up strength, prepare for possible engagement
Earn as much money (CASH ONLY. Credit won't do you any good on the road) incase I need to bolt. FAST.
Gather supplies, keep in a small and light bag, to be kept on me 24/7.
Some items included in the bag are as listed:
$50.00 cash, not all in bills.
2 changes of clothes
Non-perishable food items (Ex: granola bars, trail mix in sealed, airtight packages, bottled water, ect.)
Spare pair of running shoes (hiking boots if possible)
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
The bell rang, and my head snapped upwards, then I looked back down at my paper.
Suddenly, this seemed stupid. Whoever- or Whatever, she was-she wasn't here for me. My school has more ADD and ADHD kids than I count, not to mentions dyslexic. I am just lactose-intolerant. Anna, Laura, Mallory, and even Maylee was more likely to be chosen that me.
It was near impossible that I was a demigod, or even a legacy. I was probably just a mortal. I knew both my parents, no ADHD or Dyslexia, or any qualities that set me apart. I have never seen anything remotely strange.
No crazy grandmothers, drunk stepdads, or fire powers here.
I crumpled up the paper and walked over to the trash can. That was when a hand placed itself on my shoulder.
"What's up?"
"Nothing. Just-thinking." I said, turning around, my eyes locked on the trash can, before I locked eyes with Laura. We started to walk out, and I shoved the paper in the back of my pocket.
***Scene change***
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Bet you are wondering who Maylee is? Or maybe you were reading so fast you missed it? That's OK. She will show up soon enough!
Lots of love,
