Chapter One
"ZZZZZZZZZZ!" The school bell rang striking the beginning of the out of school season for the high scholars at Hillridge High. As all the students fled out of the school leaving all headaches of homework behind and instead thinking about sleeping in and spending days at the beach. They greeted friends and started to gather things out of their lockers. Even the teacher left knowing happily they wouldn't have to deal with them as much unless they had summer school.
One girl stayed in her seat still reading a book. She closed Aphrodite: Love and Lust and glanced out the window watching two girls walking past the 10th Grade classroom she was in. 'This is going to be another one of those summers where there is nothing to do' she thought sadly. She gathered her binder and some loose papers up and left the classroom, her eyes downcast.
"Hey Erika, Erika Sanderson!"
The girl turned around to see who was calling her but already knew it could only be her friend. "Hey Brianna." Erika's expression had now changed to look happy. She smiled Brianna playing with her wavy brown hair pulled back into her ponytail. Her light brown eyes showed any true feelings that she might have had. It was hard for her to hide her true feelings about anything.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Brianna asked her expression changing to confusion.
Finally Erika burst out on the high side of yelling, "I don't get what's so big about Summer Vacation. Why do we have to have such a long vacation where we forget everything we do for the past 10 months."
"Erika, the big thing is we finally get a chance to have a little 'R and R' and what else is better than that?"
"Well maybe two more months of learning. I mean I could help plan out the schedule. See, if we just have no school every other Friday then things could balance out and-"
"Erika, you need a life!" Brianna cut in exasperated.
"Do I really? I believe if we improved the days we go to school, I would in fact have on."
"Yeah well I got one," said Brianna laughing, "Adam glued Mr. Bokofuzah to his seat."
"Did he get in trouble?"
"What do you think? It's on the last day of school. What happened?" Erika shook her head in annoyance of all the immatureness. "Listen, I gotta go buh bye."
"Bye," said Brianna.
Erika walked down the steps leaving school until she would reach 11th grade. She walked home slowly breathing in the Californian air.
It was extremely hot and probably in the high 80's or lower 90's. She finally got to her house and she walked down her driveway and fumbled her keys around until she found the right one.
She opened the door and felt cold air brush across her sun-warmed face. 'Well, home alone, what to do?' She thought as she slowly went upstairs to her room.
Erika dropped her bag down upon her desk chair and walked over to her canopy bed. She plopped down staring through the see through curtains above her bed right above her on the ceiling laid a picture of a majestical place she knew she would never see. There was a waterfall with flower floating all around it. Leaves all fresh and new. It was beautiful. She smiled thinking of Persephone making flower and looking at the ones she didn't like and simply pulling them out.
Erika closed her eyes for a moment. Then she heard a noise from her computer telling her that someone just instant messaged her. She opened her eyes slowly and walked over to the desk and saw that her cousin, Sam, had just sent her a message. He was signed on as GreekMatrix:
GreekMatrix: Hey Erika
