The Oh So Wonderful Life of Lexa Block 2.0

I'm late-like 2 months, I know. I figured if nobody is reading my story, there's no need to rush…So let's just pretend you did so I can write this chapter. Leggo!

Disclaimer: Still a girl.

"I'M A WHAT?" I yelled at Kat and my mom.

See, my mom came home not long after we did, and Kat told her we had to have the talk. At first I thought she meant, you know THE talk, but apparently not. My mom basically confirmed the fact that Greek mythology isn't so much of a myth. Of course she freaked out when we told her about the beast thing, I mean the Minotaur, but she said she's just glad we're both alive.

"You're a demigod. As in offspring of your mom and one of the Olympians." Kat tried to explain to me.

This couldn't be.

"Okay let's just say I believe you guys. What happens next?"

"Kaitlyn would take you to camp," my mom answered.

Camp? Sounds wonderful. Not.

"Camp? What camp?

"Camp Half-Blood," she continued, " A camp for people like you-demigods. They'll teach you to train and learn how to fight monsters."

"Sounds thrilling."

"Oh it really is," Kat interjected, "Just not when you get burned by the rock climbing wall, but you'll get used to it. We have to hurry though, before the monsters smell your demigod scent."

Demigod scent? This has to be her way of getting revenge for the locker stunt.

"Demigod scent? You guys can't be serious. Are you sure this whole thing isn't just your revenge for putting silly string in your locker?"

That's when Kat decided to pull down her pants. I mean we may be best friends, but it's still kinda awkward.

"Uhm…Kat…"

I looked down and instead of seeing girly legs, I saw furry goat legs with hooves at the bottom. Well I guess that explains why she refuses to wear shorts.

"Holy Hades! (Where did that come from?) Why do you have goat legs?"

"See, subconsciously you say the names of the gods in your sentences. We don't have much time before the monsters show up. I'll explain everything on the way to camp. Do you believe me now?"

I had no choice but to believe her.

"Ugh fine. Let's go."

We got outside and Kat did this cool whistle. All of a sudden, a figure appeared in the sky. It kinda looked like a unicorn, but without a horn on its head.

"Kat, what's that?"

She turns around, smiles at me, and says, "It's a Pegasus. I've had our ride arranged for days, just in case."

Just then, the Pegasus stopped right in front of us. Maybe it's just me, but I could have sworn he bowed at us. Ah well.

"Lexa, I would like you to meet Buttercup. Don't ask about his name though, an Aphrodite kid named him, and he's still a little bitter."

Buttercup was pretty cool looking: he was caramel brown with white stripes. He may not be a unicorn, but he's still cool.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Buttercup."

The pleasure is all mine, Miss Block.

"Did you say something, Kat?"

"Nope. Here, hop on!"

Huh, must have been a voice in my head. Oh dear.

So we're somewhere over Central Park right now and let me just tell you, it's really hard to contain my fear. I mean usually when a person is riding a Pegasus, they'd be focusing on said Pegasus, but not me. No, I have the worst fear of heights ever.

I guess I should mention that to Kat.

"Uhm, Kat.."

"Yeah?"

"I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but I have the worst fear of heights ever."

"Ever?"

"Ever."

"I think I know someone who has a way worse fear of heights than you. Just don't look down-focus on the Pegasus!"

Well alright then.

See up until Buttercup arrived, I thought this was an extravagant way of Kat getting revenge for what I did to her locker, because I mean really, Greek gods actually existing? Minotaurs? Yeah, alright.

But then I realized, my mom and Kat aren't that creative to come up with this scheme. And let's be honest, my mom can't lie to save her life. Hence I always know what my birthday present is. Anyway, I guess I had no choice to believe them, though I'm still kinda doubtful.

Can't wait to see this magnificent camp I'm being sent to. Hmph, there better be free food. And cute guys. Cute guys handing out free food-yeah, that would be great.

So instead of being greeted by cute guys when we landed, I was greeted by a face full of water. She's lucky that I love to be in water, because Kat does not know how to land a Pegasus!

I got my revenge when a small wave came over Kat and completely soaked her-something she really didn't enjoy. You see, Kat hates being wet. I'm not sure why-she just hates activities that are water orientated.

"Kat, I may love water, but that doesn't mean I'm cool with you crash landing in the river!"

"Sorry! I'm not very good at riding pegasi! Percy is still teaching me."

"Who's Percy?"

"You'll see. Come on, camp's over that hill!"

Well alright then. Thus we began our 5-minute hike.

I know the camp is just over the hill, but my heart is still recovering from our graceful arrival back there.

I swear after the trip to get here, this camp better be more epic than freaking Disney World and Harry Potter World combined! With free food and cute guys-just saying.

Hm, Kat's hair looks really good today…

"Hey Kat! Your hair looks awesome today."

"Thanks…Aha random much?"

"When you have ADHD, randomness is your natural state!"

"Oh of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that you enjoy asking random and/or inappropriate questions."

"My questions are perfectly appropriate!"

"Yeah, because it's perfectly okay to ask Mr. Bayle why his mustache is so crooked and funny looking!"

As I finally turned the corner around the hill, I thought back to that moment. In my opinion, it was a legit question.

"It was a legit quest-

Woah.

As a lay my eyes upon this so-called camp, I was speechless. There's no way that this beautiful peace of land could be a camp. It was just way too pretty.

"Holy nutella. That's a camp?"

"Lexa, welcome to Camp Halfblood."

From what I could see from the edge of the hill, this camp had archery, a giant house, volleyball nets, and a huge cafeteria place. I seriously hope there's cute guys here.

"HEY KAT! YOU'RE BACK," some random guy yelled at Kat from across the border, "GUYS, KAT'S BACK-AND SHE BROUGHT ANOTHER ONE!"

As I looked closer, this guy was pretty cute- light brown hair, and huge brown eyes.

"Lexa, come on!" Kat yelled from the other side of the border.

I could get used to this place.

I crossed some imaginary border into the camp. According to Kat, non-demigods aren't allowed to step into the camp.

So I guess it's official. There's no way around it- I, Alexandra Hailey Block, am a demigod.

Woo-hoo.

"Here, I have to take you to Chiron." Kat said.

I followed her into the giant house and came face to face with a horse man thing. He kinda looked like that one dude from the Chronicles of Narnia…

Must be a centaur.

"Ah Kat, my child! You're back, I'm very glad to see your quest was successful. Now, who do we have here?" The centaur dude said, as he eyed me.

"Oh, this is Alexandra Hailey Block. Wait, where's Mr. D?"

"He had to tend to some official business- something to do with the Summer Solstice that is coming soon."

Then he turned to me.

"Very nice to meet you, Alexandra. This all must be overwhelming."

"Oh, uhm, I prefer Lexa actually. And yeah, this is definitely new to me."

"Ah Lexa, it is then. I must commend you and Kat-very few journeys to camp are as smooth sailing as yours."

"Well thanks, Mr. Uhmm.."

I wasn't sure what to call him. I couldn't just refer to him as centaur dude- that would be awkward.

"Chiron-I go by Chiron."

Hey! That's the name of the dude in my mythology book.

"Oh cool, like the guy from my mythology book."

Kat thought that remark was the funniest thing since the time I thought I could ace all my finals by searching Google for the answers.

"I am the guy from your mythology book."

Well damn. Isn't he cool?

"Oh, alright then."

Chiron began heading for the door as he said, "Well I am afraid I have a class to teach, but should you have any questions, I'm sure Kat can answer them. If not, ask around. Good day!"

And with that, he was gone.

I turned to Kat.

"So..what now?"

"Well, I have to go to my weekly Satyr meeting in a couple minutes, but I can find someone to show you around."

"Satyr! That's what you guys are called! Oh and sure, that'd be cool."

"Mmkaye, let's go find someone."

I followed Kat outside and saw that it was more crowded than when we got here twenty minutes ago.

"Hmm," Kat said, talking to herself, "I wonder who isn't busy.."

Then she spotted some kid and started walking towards him.

"HEY NICO!," she yelled, " I need you to do me a favor!"

I didn't follow her this time- I was too busy gawking at how cool looking this camp was.

When I completed my gawking, I saw Kat walking back towards me with that guy following behind her.

"Lexa, this is one of my good friends," she said, pointing to the guy next to her, " he's gonna show you around camp. Now if you don't mind, I must attend my meeting. Good luck!"

And with that, she ran off to that giant house.

The random guy turned to me.

"Hey, I'm Nico di Angelo. Son of Hades."

So that was kinda suckish but it will get better! I promise! Hmm..I wonder if any of the readers who reviewed/alerted the original The Oh So Wonderful Life of Lexa Block knows that I redid the story...Review!
