I get hit so hard
My gym teacher's a demon
A goat-man saves me

A/N: Hey! So just like in the Trials Of Apollo series I wanted to start writing haikus at the beginning of the chapter, summarising that chapter because Matt is quite a creative dude! Here goes:
"Justin!Justin!Ju-" is all I hear before he hits me hard on the head. I crumple on the floor, thinking Huh. So this is how it feels when my nose implodes Just then, out of nowhere JoJo appears. JoJo is our headmaster. His real name is Johnathan Josten, but we call him JoJo. Oh. I didn't introduce myself. I am Matt Halion, studying in the 8th grade. And I am a common punching bag for our school bully, Justin. Just Justin.
So anyways, JoJo appears to break up the fight and he takes me to his office. Not Justin. Why? Because Justin is the son of Mrs Perrington, one of our school board members. (Now do you get why Justin NEVER allows anyone to say his surname?) And all I am is a poor orphan boy who the school took as a 'social welfare project". Pssht. Whatever. But on the way, I see this tall, buff guy looking at me. His stare is unnerving.
"Come in", the headmaster directs me, looking at my eyes with pity. He knows this was my last chance and I had blown it. I was sure to get expelled. "Sit down," said JoJo. I didn't. "Matt, please, please, sit!" said JoJo. I sat. "Matt. This has been the 3rd time you have caused an incident. I'm afraid you will be expelled" said JoJo. "But Justin did the fighting! I got pummeled! This isn't fa-" I said before I got interrupted. "Shut up! Now go to the Gym! Today's your last day! Go!" said JoJo.
I heaved and went to my locker. Stupid Justin and his stupid influence. I thought as I put my clothes on. I wish I had a dad or a mom I could rely on. I walked to the court. Stupid thoughts. You have always relied on yourself! Now go play! "Ok class! Today we will be playing basketball!" said a guy in a very gruff voice. I turned. It was the same person I saw in the corridor! "I'm your new gym teacher, Keu!" said the guy. "Such a weird name," said Larry.
"Today we'll be playing some shotput. Catch!", and he threw at us a huge shotput ball. Everyone ran. I froze. The ball came at me. And… I caught it! A ball coming at 5 metres per second weighing 7 kg and I had caught it! Woah! I thought When was I so powerful? ''The Gym Teacher came near me and I thought I heard, "Impressive Half-Blood." "What?!", I asked. He said, "Nothing." Weird I thought I think he said Half-Blood?
"Ok. Who wants to give it a try?", he said, "You! Matt! You're first!", and he passed the ball. Again, I thought, How does he know my name?
I walked up to the court. I picked the ball up. Ok, I can do this, I thought. I concentrated all my anger at Justin into the shot and threw it.
Hey! This is my new story! Hope you enjoy and don't forget to review and let me know what to make better! My previous story was very rushed, so I wanted to create a proper, long, awesome book you guys would enjoy!
