Demigods of stupidness!
Chapter 2, Do you believe in magic?
I woke up to being shaken by Ben. "Kushal! Wake up!" he said getting a bit angry. I slowly got up. I stretched my arms. "What? Is it lesson time already?" Ben and Jack didn't bother to answer but just stared at me. I looked at my watched. '2:10'. "God dammit we're late!" I shouted grabbing my bag and dashing to the sports hall as my friends followed behind me.
We sat on the grass as our teacher, Coach Bell ranted on about tennis or something. I wasn't listening. "How long is this going on for?" I whispered to Ben. "A few more years, hang in there" he whispered with a little chuckle. Coach Bell looked at us with his beady eyes. "Jones! Shingadia!" he shouted pointing at me and Ben. "2 laps around the pitch, pronto!". Ben and I didn't hesitate. We got up and started running as most of the girls looked at us and giggled.
A small earthquake interupted our first lap. Coach Bell was trying to calm everyone down but wasn't doing a good job. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large serpent, the size of a lamp post appeared out of the ground. Ben and I stared at it in fear and amazement. The serpent roared at us as if to say "Stop staring and run so I can chase you!" Ben and I, stunned with fear, couldn't do anything but to my surprise Coach Bell jumped in and rugby tackled it like a sumo wrestler. Coach struggled to keep the serpent down.
He look at us and shouted "Look kids, I know this is really sudden but you need to use your powers! To use magic, all you have to do is believe in magic!" Ben and I didn't hesitate. I closed my eyes and said in a clear voice "I believe in magic!" At once two huge vines busted out of the grounds and whipped the serpent around the face. I opened my eyes and looked at what I had done. Ben did the same. "I believe in magic!" he shouted. Suddenly his body set on fire. Three fireballs flew out of his chest burning the serpent's scales, pushing it back a great distance. Jack came out from behind a tree. I quickly caught his eye. "Jack! The magic really works!" I shouted hoping I wasn't shaking with excitement. Jack stood face to face with the serpent. I couldn't see any fear on his face. "Alright….I guess I believe in magic too…" Jack said in a nervous voice. To our surprise nothing happened. Jack was just as confused as us. But Ben wasn't standing by and being dramatic. He raises his fist which began to burst into flames. For a minute I felt scared of him. Ben charged and punched the serpent's chest. The serpent instantly turned to ash when he made contact.
I looked at Coach Bell. "We're…demigods….aren't we?
