Hey! So, I was able to get on tonight (obviously) and so here's the next chapter! Enjoy! And please don't forget to R&R!

Chapter Six "The Trio"

"Okay, okay, yes, I know. Let's just go, okay? Come on Eathan!" I whined. My brother Eathan was driving me into town to Pine Grove High School to pick up my friends Bailee and Kali for a sleepover this weekend. It had taken a lot of convincing, even more now after my "incident". I still couldn't get them to forget about it. And it was definitely embarrassing that they wouldn't even let me drive. Finally I stomped out to the car, a white 1971 Barracuda convertible, only one of fourteen ever made. I'm pretty sure it was a gift to mom from dad. Mom loved old cars apparently.

Eathan grinned and walked down the steps, jingling the car keys. I growled.

"Stop mocking me."

He just grinned even more and got in the car. The school was about thirty minutes away from our house. Eathan, the "nerd" of the family, homeschooled Blake and I, since we were the only two left in school. I was a sophomore, the same as Bailee and Kali. Their mom's were good friends with mine, especially since they were demigods to. Bailee was a daughter of Apollo, so you can probably imagine what she was like. Bubbly, hyper, and VERY energetic, but that's Bailee. Kali is the daughter of Hermes, and sometimes we use her, ah, talents, to play pranks on my brothers. Let's just say that we have discovered that she is very good at unlocking doors, and can move silently when she wants to. Kali was the shyer one of the trio, but with us she was just as loud as Bailee. She's only like that when she's with Bai and me though.

Once we got to the school, we had to wait a few minutes for the school to get out. After we pulled into the parking lot to wait, I looked at the clock.

"YES!" I almost yelled, causing Eathan to jump.

"What?" he questioned.

I pointed triumphantly to the clock. "Pay up," I said, "you bet thirty bucks that we would get here by 2:58. I said 2:45. It's 2:47. Come on, hand it over."

Eathan grumbled something about never betting against his little sister again, but he dug his wallet out of his back pocket and handed over the thirty dollars.

Just then someone knocked on my window. I rolled it down a crack.

"Welcome to McDonalds, how may I help you?" I asked.

Kali rolled her eyes, but Bailee stepped up to the window. "I'd like a two night stay at the best friend's house, a ride in a hot car, and a vanilla milkshake." She looked back at Kali. "Or will that be two?"

Kali just laughed and shook her head. I unlocked the door and the two of them climbed into the back.

"Hey girls." Eathan said, looking at them in the rearview mirror.

"Hey Eathan." They said in unison.

Eathan shook his head before starting the car. "It is truly terrifying; the way you can do that."

"Do what?" we all asked at the same time.

Eathan just rolled his eyes and started to pull out of the parking lot. "Oops! Wait, I forgot my algebra assignment!" Bailee exclaimed. Eathan stopped the car while Bailee ran in to get it. Since I knew it would take a while, we all got out to wait in the warm sun. That's when the arrow whipped by my head, missing it by centimeters.
