A/N: Sorry for not updating a while. I got caught up with Laurex breaking up *sob*, starting middle school, and getting back to a normal school schedule. But here's a new chapter. Hope you like it!
Kace's POV
It'd be really nice if I could keep my life, thanks. After having that warm talk with Ray and getting ambushed by the Stolls, I chose a what seemed like a suitable outfit. I sighed. No matter what happened, it seemed like two best friends were going to become MORE than best friends.
I was walking to class when I heard a yell come from the girl's bathroom. What was funny was that the yell sounded like a guy. A guy I knew… I headed over to the girls' bathroom as quietly as possible "...demigod? ANOTHER ONE? Not to mention one that has the same powers I do and tried to attack me?! Wait, one question to determine if I hate you or not, Kriss- do you act like a moody teenager and hate everything?" asked Abigail's voice. "Um, no, don't be stupid. Nobody hates everything," came a response from someone who was apparently Kriss. Abigail sighed in relief. "Okay, you're not Amanda. Thank goodness." "OMG! WHY IS THERE A BOY IN THE GIRLS BATHROOM?!" said a random girl, who was apparently in the girls' bathroom "That's what I'd like to know," muttered Ray. Within a few seconds, the girl walked out with a dazed look. She saw me and said, "Have a nice day" before walking off. "What the heck just happened?" Ray asked. "Forget it, guys. I have to go to class," said Kriss. "Meet up with me at the front after school, then," said Abigail. "Deal."
When Abigail walked out with an embarrassed Ray and a girl with caramel hair and gold highlights. "Um, hey guys." I started, awkwardly. "I totally didn't hear anything in the girls' bathroom about whoever this girl is with the gold highlights." Abigail gave me a look that clearly said: "If you tell anyone about this, I'll kill you." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Abigail loved to say that, but she never did kill me. I knew that she did have the ability to, and she could make the death as slow and painful as she wanted. Basically, if she said she was going to kill, there was around an 85% chance that she wouldn't.
We met up with Jameson and Amanda at the corner. "Guys, um… You have volleyball practice tonight, right? And Amanda has soccer? Is anyone going to be at the apartment for me to hang out with and play Fortnite?" They stared at me blankly. Abigail looked at me like I was stupid. "Kace, It's Thursday," she said to me, sounding miffed. "So?" I asked, unsure of what she was getting at. "It's the school dance, dimwit!" Amanda said, rolling her eyes. "Oh, right." everyone looked a bit uncomfortable. Well, everyone BUT Jay. Probably because he didn't have to ask a girl out! There was a moment of silence that was broken by Jay, who blurted, "I can't believe they might be playing Kidz Bop!" We all turned to look at Jay, right before we reached Trig. "...Anyway, you all have your outfits, right? I can't wait to see all the couples!" Abigail said with a smile. Amanda asked, "How are you one of the coldest and darkest people alive until you suddenly ship someone?!" Abigail shrugged. " I don't know. It's just a weird thing that I do, I guess…" She said this without looking at us. It came to me that Abigail might be hiding something. It's Abigail, though. We've been best friends since first grade. She would never lie to me. Amanda rolled her eyes, and we took our seats. As I looked at Abigail's highlights swing around, as she took her seat, something occurred to me. Who was that new girl? Was she on our side? If not, she still had Abigail's powers, so would Abigail meet her match?
Asha's POV
All through Trig, I could barely concentrate. One, because there was a school dance tonight and I had NOBODY to go with, and two because of those weird "demigod" kids. Whoever they were. They seemed weird, and they all had a special relationship with one another. Blue Streaks and Silver Jeans obviously had a crush on one another, as were Blonde Girl and Black Hair. Blonde Girl and Earbuds Boy seemed to be siblings, and Blue Streaks seemed to have a small friendship with Blonde GIrl. Overall, they all had an okay relationship with each other.
By the time I got to gym, I was already exhausted from all the homework we had to do. Plus, tonight EVERYBODY will be busy, so why the heck would the teachers have the homework due tomorrow?! Oh well. I was pretty sure the dance started at six and went till midnight. I'm pretty convinced that I can finish it before the dance. Anyhoo, gym. Still trying to figure out how those demigod people know about ambrosia. I don't really remember how I got it. I just remember being injured during soccer and this man offering me the lemon squares/ ambrosia... I hoped that I could find a way to figure out who are demigods and how I got the ambrosia…
