Lydia Aquillo Ramirez- 13 years old
I haul my last suitcase into my living room and stack it on top of the other five, snapping it into place on its mini suitcase organizer. There, they look really cute. Pink with white dots, pink with blue hearts, green with pink stripes, grey with pink stars, violet with pink zigzags, and pink with silver owls. Each holds a different part of my wardrobe: One has pyjamas, one has tee shirts, one has shorts, one has other pants, one has skirts and nice blouses, and one has dresses. On top is a zipper shoe organizer for all my shoes. It's been a bit of a crazy week for me to say the least, and I sink down into my mom and dads plush couch. This week I discovered I was adopted, discovered that my real dad is Hephaesteus, and found out that I have to take some long, wierd journey to a camp where there will be other 'half bloods' like me. Mom says that I shouldn't even try hanging out with the other Hephaesteus kids, but I will probably fit in perfectly with the Aphrodite kids. Well, actually, it's not MOM telling me these things. I men, not my true mom. The mom who took me in and loved me and gave me a sister, no, it's my birth mom. After all the evidence she sent me I believe her, but sometimes I still worry that she's a bit cooky. Oh Yeah the other thing I found put this week is that my sister, Emma's best friend is actually my twin brother. That was a strange realization. Yet somehow HE isn't in danger like I am, or whatever. I don't quite get it, actually. I sigh, tying my dark blonde hair into bun with a crunchy. I carefully apply my makeup, adding eyeliner around my silver eyes. Once I finish I realize that I don't actually need eyeliner, since I'm just going on a journey, but I LOVE my makeup and I need my makeup. I even pack it for the trip. I pull on a hot pink tank top, grey shorts, and my favourite green and pink Nike shoes. This sould be interesting. Mom says that there's going to be monsters, and I'll have to fight them while I'm on my way. It makes me nervous, but I've practiced a bit with some the sword she gave me, and I'm so fast I bet I could outrun any monster. At least I hope so...
"I'm ready!" I scream up to my parents room. Emma is actually the forst to run down, and she looks really sad.
"I'll miss you a ton. Be safe, and text me along the way." I hold up my pink smartphone.
"Absolutely! I'll miss you too." We hug eachother and then my parents was in downstairs.
"Be careful, don't talk to strangers." They hand me My sword, Floga "We guess you'll need those. Keep in touch, and if anything happens, we've always got the plane and we can go pick you up." My dad is a movie star, so we have a private plane.
"I'll be careful, and I'll keep in touch. And yeah, if I'm really in danger..." I hug them and then grab the handle of my suitcase organiser and open the door. "Love you guys!" I walk away from our house,towards the freeway. This should be interesting. I turn around and they're waving in the window. I wave back.
This will be either fun or terrifying.
At least I have my clothes and makeup.
