I need to blow off some steam. I really do. I could bang my head against the wall 73 times. I'm in such a huff that I even didn't turn on the fan, even though it's like 34 degrees Celsius now. Hopefully getting lost in my own little world will help. It is! Writing is magic, isn't it? Also, I have no idea on which story I'm updating on right now. I think Seven Periods or Hit the Road 'cause I haven't updated on those in a while? Hold on, I'm annoyed again. I'm banging my head against the wall. Perhaps a bruise will help me set my mind right again. Anyway I'm going to write now. I'm trying to finish my stories kinda quick but it's hard when there is school in the picture. I'm doing Seven Periods. It sounds dumb now, when you're reading this, but not when I'm writing this. Do you want to read the story now? If you've always wanted to, you could have skipped the long authors note. I bet you're angry now! Anyway I'm gonna write now. Enjoy!
Ps. it is in Piper's POV
We went to the classroom after that. Our teacher was waiting for us. 'Pranam' (greetings) she said. (A/N Hindi is my mother tongue but Spanish isn't. there'll be a Spanish lesson too. I learn Spanish at school.) we saidPranamback. Annabethsaid 'aap theek Hain?' (How do you do). I bet her parents made her study. Poor girl. The teacher smiled at Annabeth. The teacher had glossy black hair and olive eyes. She was very pretty. Some other students thought so too. I could sense it. Talk about 'love in the air'. She told us to take our seats. She started writing on the board and said today we were going to learn 'hello' and 'goodbye' in Hindi. (I guess you are learning Hindi too. Tee-he). She wrote this on the board.
HELLO
HINDI ENGLISH
Pranam Hello
Sutbrabhat good day
Bye
Hindi English
Alvida goodbye
Vidai farewell
Kal milte hain see you tomorrow
We noted it down. Then we practiced. I was done early, so I started looking around. Annabeth, who had folded her hands since she had finished her work ten minutes ago. Percy next to her, begging to see her spellings. Then Jason next to Piper, the determination in his Elsa-blue eyes to finish the work. Hazel and Frank were joking as they did their work. Leo had already copied the work from Calypso's note book and was now impressing her by making a windmill out of is lunch foil wrapper. Somehow, Piper felt an attraction as soon as she saw them. She felt like they were meant to be together. She shook her head, thinking she was mad. Sure, over time they might become friends, but not now. They were all so new, without barely knowing each other. See, mad. 'Piper. Student number 29.' Piper froze. The principal was standing at the door of the classroom. 'Come with me, please'. The teacher said, 'don't you fret, I'll ask you when you come back.' I thought what I have forgotten. Lunch? Nah, I was eating a school lunch. Cautiously, I followed the principal. She seemed nice enough when we were all in her office. Except now, I was scared. Back then, I was in the crowd of all the new students from different grades, parents dropping their children of, and all the teacher's greeting their new students. Now I was alone. Even the secretary wasn't there. We passed the sunny office, but Princi didn't stop so I said: 'the office is here'. she said: 'that's the meeting office'. I gulped. Maybe she was a vampire and was going to KILL me. I had a life to live. I was only young. She took me through a door that looked like it led to a broom cupboard. It didn't. it led to a big office with a triangle desk. She sat me down and offered me a peppermint. It looked good but I turned it down. She may have poisoned it. She began talking. 'you have a future with the fellow new students. I know it sounds absurd, but believe me.' The door opened. I jumped. The Janitor came in. and went to the trophy cabinet and started polishing. As soon as he turned his back, the Principal took out a wool sock and cut the thread. As she cut, the thirty five or so year old looked like a granny. A really, really old granny. In fact, she reminded me of a creature in my Greek textbook. What was it? Ah, yes a fate. But soon she was back to a normal everyday Principal. 'now, run off Piper. Get back to your lesson. I would like that you have your turn today.' I walked back to the classroom, getting lost on the way. I felt ridiculous thinking that I thought that the nice lady was a vampire. Piper was standing at the door, about to enter when Mrs. Tripathi said 'I want to welcome you but what word should I use?' I couldn't believe I actually forgot. They all mouthed it at me. 'svagat' I said. The bell rang for lunch. We all poured out of the classroom. Everyone wanted to know what Princi had called me for. I shut them up.
That's it. see you whenever.
