The assumption she made on the first day, the one about the girls not knowing Chiron from Charon. Well she was right, these girls made Rachel want to scream some very nasty words in ancient Greek at them. This is what happened on the second day……
Rachel sighed as she listened to Ms. Martin ask questions that she could answer in her sleep but the girls in her class couldn't answer to save their lives.
"Today we will be talking about Chiron and Charon. Can anyone tell me who Charon is?" Rachel didn't bother to raise her hand, she wanted to hear what these girls had going on in their minds.
"Yes, why doesn't Ms. Warner tell us?" The girl who Ms. Martin called on was Sally Warner. Sally is a girl girl who could not have enough sweets she always had a piece of candy in her mouth. You think she would be on the bigger side from eating all those sweets, but she would exercise while she was hyper, and because of that, she was a stick thin girl. " Were they, like, some type of like Greek churro? Cuz, if they like are like that would be like so totally cool, like yeah!" Rachel rolled her eyes and she wondered how someone could fit so many "Likes" in a sentence. "No Ms. Warner, they're not types of churro. Why doesn't tell us." Why in the name of Hades couldn't her teacher be tortured with Apollo's amazingly cough* awful*cough poetry!
"Charon is the man who ferries the dead across the River Styx into the underworld. Chiron is the centaur who has been training heroes for as long as they have been around." Oh, Crap! Thought Rachel, I talked in present tense! She hoped the girls weren't bright enough to realize this. If this get's horrible I still have art after this! I can express my feelings with no criticism! She mused.
"Ummmm like what are like heroes again? Don't they like stop like evil villains?" said Alice Corey.
Rachel mentally envisioned Alice being struck by Zeus's lightning bolt! Ha that made Rachel smile.
"No Ms. Corey we talked about this before, ancient Greek heroes aren't super heroes, they are half mortal half God. Do we need to review this again?" Alice shook her head, while Rachel envisioned them all being subjected to Apollo's Amazing cough*not* cough poetry.
"Well moving on then. Ouch looks like we are out of time for today. Tomorrow we will be talking about a few monsters." Rachel smiled tomorrow better be good.
