Chris
Dawn exchanged a few words to Lisa and Eli as I put my homework into my bag and walked over to her. She didn't look at me.
"We have Mythology Studies now." She walks out of the room with me following behind her.
"Mythology Studies? Do we need to take this class?" I asked her as she led me through a hallway full of students that were trying to get to their next class while trying not to knock over other students. I felt a lot of eyes studying me as I walked behind Dawn. Many girls whispered to each other about the "new kid who looks cute" and guys eyed me as if I was going to take away their girlfriends or their spot as captain on whatever sports team they were on.
"Yeah, our Head Master really likes mythology. So it has become part of the school curricular to study mythology, especially Greek mythology." There was an edge to her voice but I couldn't tell what it was.
"Hey Dawn!" A familiar voice called to Dawn over the mass of students. A chocolate brown haired boy ran over to her. Eli.
"Oh hey Eli!" Dawn's voice lightened up a bit around Eli.
"I have a question; can you tutor me in history?" He glances at me for a quick second; his black-grey eyes hid his emotions that he hid inside.
"Sure, I'll get back to you on when I'll be able to tutor you." She waves a bye and leads me to our classroom just as the late bell rang. I made my way over to the teacher's desk and found that the teacher wasn't in the classroom yet.
"Where's the teacher?" I asked the nearest guy since Dawn had already sat in her seat near the windows to the left of the classroom.
"Oh, Mr. Zeus is always a few minutes late. It's a habit of his to come in late for class." The guy had hair that was colored dirt brown, and eyes that were the color of smoked topaz. His eyes told me many things about himself. Human eyes are the easiest to read, that is unless they have learned how to block their emotions from showing.
A sudden chill in the air told me that something was wrong, and something bad was coming. My sharp hearing senses made out the sound of a hiss and the sound of a snake slithering. At the back of the classroom, there were a few girls who screamed in horror as they saw a giant python slithering closer to the school. A group of idiots ran over to the window to see what was wrong. As the python slithered towards the classroom, everyone ran towards the front of the classroom to hide from the snake.
The python made its way up the wall somehow and slithered into the back of the classroom. Everyone ran to the front of the classroom, everyone but Dawn.
Dawn
I thought of the dream that happened last night and how Chris was part of my dream. I think I know him from my childhood but forgot about him, and the more I think about it the more I realize that it is very unlikely that I forgot someone from my childhood. I wonder if he also had the same dream that I had last night.
"-wn. Dawn." Someone called to me and I snapped back to reality. The whole class was at the front of the classroom, all but me. Chris called my name, and so did a few other people who looked frightened and terrified.
"Dawn, hurry up and run up here." Chris called to me. I was confused, but then a slithering noise and a hiss made me turn around just as Chris told me not to. A giant snake began to slither into the classroom. I stood up and began to run to the front of the room, but the python's tail grabbed hold of my left leg and held on tight. I silently cursed at myself for the second time today as I realized that I forgot to bring my pocket dagger to school today.
"Dawn, duck down!" Chris ordered me from the front of the classroom. I dropped to my knees just as three long shadows flew past my head and hit the python's two eyes, and forehead. The python reeled in pain and flung me aside. The good thing was that I had practice with being thrown around. I put both foot firmly on the floor, then used my hands as a brake to slow myself down. I hit the table behind me, but it wasn't as painful as it would have been if I hadn't stopped myself.
The python lay where it was and didn't move. I ran to the front of the classroom just as Mr. Zeus came in alarmed and angered by the sight of the whole class huddled up in the front of the classroom. Mr. Zeus is his name because of his facial features that resembled the Greek god Zeus, so we as a class decided to nickname him Mr. Zeus.
"What is going on in here?" He bellows out. Then his expression changed as he looked around the classroom and saw Chris. "Chris?"
"Eros?" Chris looks at the teacher and his expressions changed from serious and worry to surprise. I was surprised that Chris knows Mr. Zeus' real name. Only I knew that his name is Eros.
"Chris, I haven't seen you for so long! How have you been? You've grown so much!" Eros smiles at Chris. I knew that he would have ruffled Chris' hair if he wasn't so far away.
"Mr. Zeus, there's a python over there." A boy named Paul points to the back of the room with a shaky finger. Eros turns to see the python laying there on the floor with three pencils stuck in its head.
"The skills that this kid has." I heard Eros mumble and shake his head with a smile.
"I-is it dead?" A blond haired girl whose name I didn't know asked Eros.
"I suppose it is." Eros said. "Is anyone hurt?"
"The python caught Dawn before you came in and she hit a few table." Chris looked at me with worried eyes.
"Daydreaming again lemme guess." Eros chuckles as I blush. "You okay though?"
"Yeah. I didn't get hurt." A shadow caught my eye as I took the dagger that Eros kept in his belt, and it blended in with his pants so it wasn't obvious. I flung the dagger at the recovering python. The dagger went through the python's forehead and hit the back bulletin board with a thud.
"Too much strength Dawn." Eros coughs and murmurs to me. The other students in the classroom were surprised by my dagger throwing skills and stared in both horror and amazement. "Not a word about what happened in class today or I promise you I will get both Dawn and Chris to make you disappear from this world." Eros threatened the class.
"Yes uncle." I bowed my head in respect.
