Hey guys! Since its summer I'll be able to update more often. Anyway, here's the 4th Chapter. This'll be in Kyle's POV.
Chapter 4
Meet Kyle Kole
Kyle POV
I wake up from my weird dream and open my eyes. Right in front of my face was my little sister, Katherine. I jumped up a bit and fell off my bed. I stood up and turned to look at my little sister.
"Kat, (my nickname for her) why are you in my room?" I asked her irritated that she disturbed my peaceful slumber.
"Mom told me to wake you up or you'll be late for school." She responded cheerfully. How this girl is so alive in the morning is a mystery to me. She leaves my room so I can get ready for school.
I should probably introduce myself. My name's Kyle Kole. I have black hair, blue eyes, and a slight tan. I'm 15 years almost 16 years old. I'm in 9th grade. I was also diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD when I turned 12.
I have two sisters, Kat, and Jessica but I call her Jesse. Both of them are adopted and love to annoy the heck out of me. Kat and Jesse are both 12 years old, but they're not twins. Kat's about 10 months older than Jesse and loves to remind Jesse that she's older.
Both Jesse and Kat have golden blonde hair and blue eyes. At first glance they may seem harmless and innocent. But after a while, you'll see that they are little demons.
Anyway, back to the present. I'm heading downstairs after getting dressed and brushing my teeth. I walk into the kitchen and see my favorite breakfast on the table. (Insert favorite breakfast here) As I was eating my breakfast I asked my mom what the special occasion was.
"Don't you remember what today is?" she asked me.
"No…Wait, what today is it?" I asked her
"It's Friday, May 11-"my mom said before being cut off by Jesse
"The last day of school, duh." She told me. Oh yeah, she's right, the day of the final of my favorite subject; Latin. (A/N I HATE Latin so much)
I finish my breakfast, get my stuff for school, and say goodbye to my mom and step-dad. I don't really know who my real dad was. My mom told me was that he was a great man with power and I looked just like him. I kind of resent him for leaving my mom but she said that he had to.
I start walking to school since it was only 1 mile away from our house. As I'm walking to school, my two best friends, Ashley and Austin, join me. Both of them are in the same grade as me and most of our classes together. They also have dyslexia and ADHD
Austin and Ashley both have black hair like me but Austin's is greasy and Ashley's is silky. Austin has olive skin and has black eyes that creep me out but Ashley is slightly tanner than me and has bluish-greenish eyes that remind me of the sea. I've known Austin since I was 3 but I just met Ashley about 4 years ago when she first met. I have a small crush on her that only Austin, Jesse, and Kat know about.
We talk a bit before we reach school and I prepare myself for my exam that I'm sure I'm going to fail since I can't memorize any of the stuff we went over, that's the problem with dyslexia, I can't read a dang thing.
**3 hours later**
I turn in my final knowing that I maybe kind of failed it. Right after I exited the room I saw Ashley and Austin leaning against the wall, obviously waiting for me. Ashley looks at me and says,
"We need to go to the principal's office"
"What for?" I ask them
"We don't know, we just know that Mr. G (The Latin teacher) told us to go there" Austin said
"Well, let's go. We don't want to keep him waiting." I said and we walk to the principal's office.
Austin led the way because since he's been sent there a lot of times. We reach our destination and glance at each other; me and Ashley a bit longer, and we enter the office and see him waiting patiently for us. I also notice that our moms are here; my sisters are also here, I don't know why but I have a feeling that I'm about to find out.

"Why did you call us here Mr. C?" Ashley asked
"Why are our moms here?" I asked
"Why didn't the Rangers win the World Series?" Austin. Everybody looked at Austin weirdly.
"What? It's a valid question." He defended himself. Mr. C. went back to us and said,
"To answer both of your questions at the same time: I need to say something that concerns you and your families." He then turned to Austin and said,
"To answer your question Austin. It's because the Rangers suck at baseball. They were lucky to get into the World Series at all" he said. (A/N I really don't care about who won or who lost. I'm not a baseball fan)
Austin was about to say something but Ashley intervened,
"So what was this thing you wanted to tell us?" he looked at us, then at our moms and my sisters. He sighed and said,
"Austin, Ashley, Kyle, Katherine, Jessica, you need to go away from here." I was shocked. He was my favorite adult here at this school.
"What do you mean?" I asked a little hurt in my voice.
"I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible. I'm saying that you're not coming back to this school. You're not expelled or anything; what I'm trying to say is that you're leaving the city, in fact you're going to be leaving the state. You are moving to New York."
I was somewhat relieved that he didn't mean what I thought he meant. But then another question rose to my head.
"Exactly why are we leaving?" I asked and Ashley and Austin nodded their heads agreeing with me. It was silent a minute before Mr. C. responded,
"You're leaving because you must go to a camp there." Austin then said,
"So, we're leaving the state so we can go to some dumb camp." He looked at our moms and said to us,
"I think it's time for your moms to tell you the truth." And with that, he rolled out of the office giving us some privacy with our moms.
They told us about that all the supposed "mythology" is real. They also told us our heritage but they didn't say who our fathers were, all they said was that they were Greek gods. 'Way to be specific mom' I thought to myself. Mr. C. wheeled back in and behind his desk.
"I take it that you now know everything you need to know for now." He said to us.
"Yes we do Mr. C." she replied.
"So how are we going to get to New York? I mean we'll probably fly there s-"Ashley was about to continue but her mom interrupted her.
"No! Ashley, I know can't tell you who your father is but I definitely know that you can't fly to New York." She said worryingly.
"Ashley, she is correct. Everybody else will be able to fly there but you cannot. It is too dangerous; you will have to travel there by train." Mr. C. said
"But Mr. C., it'll take 1 1/2 days to get to New York by train. It'll only take a couple hours for everybody else to get there." Ashley complained. He sighed and looked over to the moms and said to them,
"You didn't tell them?" they nodded their heads yes. I looked confused and looked at Mr. C. silently thinking what he meant.
"Children, what your mothers didn't tell you was that you will be going there by yourselves. They will not be joining you on your trip to New York. Don't worry; one of the counselors will be there to bring you to camp."
I was shocked and sad after he had said that. I then thought of something and by the looks of it, so did Ashley.
"Chiron, what about Ashley? She'll be alone on her trip to New York. Something might happen to her." I told him worried. He replied,
"Yes I do realize that. Let's just pray to the gods that she'll be safe by herself." I stood up and stepped up and said,
"No, I'll go. I know that Kat and Jesse will be safe with Austin. He's like another brother to them." Mr. C. seemed to think about it for a couple of minutes before replying,
"Alright Kyle, you may accompany Ashley on her trip to New York. But be careful you two."
"Don't worry Mr. C., we'll be careful. We'll watch after each other, right Kyle?" she asked me lightly bumping my shoulder.
"Yeah, we'll be careful. Don't worry about us; we can take care of ourselves. It's those three you'll have to worry about." I said pointing at Austin, Kat, and Jesse. Ashley laughed her angelic laugh that I love to hear and the three glared at me. Mr. C. cleared his throat gaining our attention. He said to us,
"Okay, now back to the subject at hand. Jessica, Katherine, and Austin will leave from the El Paso International Airport tomorrow morning at 8:30, Kyle and Ashley will leave tonight at 9 at the Amtrak-ELP station. Is that understood?" He asked us and we nodded.
"I believe this is a goodbye until we see each other again." He said to us as we walked out of his office. Before we left, I asked him a question that was bugging me.
"Hey, Mr. C., I need to ask you a question."
"And what would that be Kyle?" he asked me.
"What's your first name? I mean we call you Mr. C. but what's your real name?" Right before I left I heard him say,
"My name is Chiron, Kyle." And I left shocked that my principal had been a centaur.
*****7 hours later*****
Ashley and I were standing in front of the entrance to the train that will take the two of us to New York. We had said our goodbyes just a couple minutes ago. We turned our heads and looked at each other. She took my hand into her own and looked at me,
"You ready?"
"Yeah, how about you?"
"No, but I guess we have no other choice." She said to me.
We entered the train and picked two comfy seats and sat down. Minutes later, the train moved and we were off to New York. Me and Ashley talked a bit before she became sleepy. She fell asleep on my shoulder and I blushed a bit. Eventually, I got tired too; I fell asleep against Ashley.
What do you guys think?
This chapter was more of a filler than an actual chapter. But
unlike others, this was a long filler. Took me about 14 hours to
put it together
Like it? Hate it? Don't care about it?
