Chapter 3: This Is Pretty Ordinary

Please review! :) Blue Pies for everyone who does, and a blue cookie! (#) (#) (#) (::) (::)

Aphrodite's Pov:

I walked through the doors of the school. Today was the first day of school, September 6th. Yesterday, I had used the mist to make it look like I had been registered before. I got a locker number, and made some stuff appear in my locker. I was an official eighth grader!

I looked at my schedule. I really should have looked at it last night. It took a while, and I figured I looked like an idiot just standing in the middle of the hall while other students streamed by, but I finally thought I read the name right. Homeroom: Mrs. Kalliotepie. Room: 13

I walked to room thirteen to find that I was the only one there beside the teacher. It was 7:37, and homeroom started at 7:45.

I opened my laptop (the school let us carry them around for our work online) and started typing another chapter of my fanfiction.

Artemis's Pov:

To get back at me for pranking him, Apollo pranked me! He decorated my favorite bow pink with hearts! Boys!

I wrote a little more, and then posted the chapter.

The bell rung. A girl with chocolate colored skin and brown hair jumped into the room. "Mrs. Kalliotepie!" She pronounced it as kay-low-tae-pie. "I made it on time!" She sat next to me.

"Hi! You're new here, right? I don't remember seeing you here before. My name's Rae."

"Cool. I'm Ava." Ava Hellerman was the name I'd registered in the school on.

"Nice. What do you have next period?"

"ELA with Mr. Dalie."

"Me too!"

"Please read quietly!" Mrs. Kalliotepie told us. I took out my book, Dork Diaries: Tales From A Not-So-Glam TV Star, and started reading. Soon the bell rang. I stood up and put my book in my bag.

"Come on!" Rae said. "I've heard rumors about Mr. Dalie. They say he's strict. Let's not get on his bad side." We walked to his classroom. We turned, and walked a little more ways. I saw a middle-aged man in a plaid shirt and jeans. He said hello, and we walked into his room.

Chairs were set up in a circle. Some seats were already taken up, and Rae and I found seats next to each other.

"So, what are you interested in?" I asked Rae.

"Well-" She started, but the bell rang. Mr. Dalie walked in the room and shut the door behind him. Two boys stopped it and took seats next to Rae in the circle. Mr. Dalie clapped twice. We clapped after him.

"We're going to all introduce ourselves. Now, I'm sure some of you know each other from previous years, and I know a few of you, but we will still do it, and you will be happy about it because that will mean we aren't doing work!" We cheered. "So I'm going to sit here," he sat in one of the empty seats, "And we are going to go around the circle and say our name, favorite animal and color, and two things you like doing. Me first. My name's Mr. Dalie. My favorite animal is an elephant, my favorite color is orange, and I like teaching and reading."

"My name's Kevin North. My favorite animal is an ocelot, my favorite color is green, and I like playing soccer and video games." A few other people went and then it was Rae's turn.

"My name's Rae Black, my favorite animal is a giraffe, my favorite color is red, and I like reading and playing sports."

It was my turn. "My name's Ava Hellerman, my favorite animal is a dove, my favorite color is purple, and I like reading and sewing."

The rest of the people went, and there was still five minutes left so Mr. Dalie let us talk amongst ourselves. I had math next, Rae had science. The bell rang and we went our separate ways.

Hopefully there will be a new chapter of "But What About Annabeth?" up soon.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I'd be ever so happy

If you'd review

It's not that hard

So don't just follow

Review what you think

And don't leave me in sorrow
