High School Never Ends
Bowling for Soup
4 years you think for sure
That's all you've got to indoor
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial so immature
Then when you graduate you take a look around and say
"Hey Wait!"
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over aw that's just great
The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money who gets the honeys?
Who's kinds cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right book
And you still don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces the names and the trends
High School Never Ends
"Apollo hurry up! They just got here!" Artemis yelled up the stairs as she watched Salvatore jump out of the car that had just pulled up his sweatshirt hood saving his hair from being soaked to the bone. She opened the door quickly as she heard Apollo coming down the stairs. She watched Salvatore walked through the rain. He smiled and waved to her. Artemis made a hand motion to tell him to go faster. Salvatore obeyed and was with her in a second.
"I'm hoping it's a indoor pool." Artemis said smiling brightly. Salvatore laughed and shook his head.
"Nah, in your dreams, wimp." Salvatore laughed at Apollo who smiled so brightly it could have lit up the room. Well he is the sun god…
"But isn't swimming in a rain storm dangerous?" She asked as they sprinted to the car. Once they where in the car, Salvatore sitting in the front seat, and Elizabeth and Artemis squished together to get their butts into one seat and get the seat belt over them, Darb on Elizabeth's side and Apollo on Artemis'. Evan smiled and waved at Apollo. They used to hang out a lot together. Salvatore turned around in his seat so he could look at Artemis.
"Swimming in a thunder storm is dangerous, not swimming in a rain storm." Salvatore said strongly as he reached back and tapped Artemis' nose, Artemis snapping her teeth as she would bite him. His hand shot back to his side while Artemis smirked and winked at him. It didn't take long to get to where they where swimming and when Artemis stepped out of the car she was anything but impressed. It was a river, mist floating off of it and the poring rain chopping holes into its clean surface. There was not much of a currant, but it still looked dangerous.
"Come on Artemis!" Elizabeth giggled grabbing her friends hand and dragging her away into the woods, far enough so the boys couldn't see them.
"W-Wha…?"
"Change, unless you want to strip down in front of the boys!" Elizabeth said pointing to Artemis' bathing suit as she pulled off her shirt and glanced back at the boys once more to make sure they couldn't see them. Artemis blinked dumb folded around before doing the same. Elizabeth had one of those small bikinis that were quite revealing, it was yellow with pink and orange stripes decorating it. Artemis wore a one peace, not wanting to show her body off, jet black, colored with blue moons and stars. Didn't see that one coming did you? Artemis smiled at Elizabeth as she pulled her hair up into a pony tail as they walked back to the boys, careful not to step on anything pointy. Salvatore and Darb where standing there, Darb's hair (it had been black again) falling over his eyes, both of them soaked to the bone already.
"Okay, don't you go swimming to get wet and cool off?" Artemis asked crossing her arms across her chest.
"Mmmmhhhh…" Salvatore hummed.
"Well we have already gotten wet, so why are you guys just standing there! Come on!" Artemis said smiling happily as her and Elizabeth ran towards the river, Darb and Salvatore hot on there heels. Elizabeth was the first one in, screeching slightly at the coolness of the water. Artemis hesitated at first her foot slipping into the water, this river lead to the sea, it wasn't that far away. What if Poseidon got angered by her in his waters? Artemis almost backed out of swimming till Salvatore pushed her from behind into the water. Salvatore laughed as she tried to resist, pushing on her back hard once they got about waist deep into the water. Artemis pushed him, although she smiled.
"Go on! Get in! Or are you to scaarreeeddd…?" Salvatore taunted as he ducked her fist which was aimed at his face.
"Why don't you get in!" Artemis shot back.
"Ladies first." Salvatore replied simply.
"Oh no I-"
"How 'bout you both get in!" Apollo yelled as he came up behind the two and pushed Salvatore, causing him to tumble into Artemis, both hitting the water with a slap. Artemis came up first glaring at the laughing Apollo and Evan.
"Oh I'm gonna get you!" She yelled standing up Apollo soon found himself pushed under the water by his sister's hand. Apollo surfaced coughing and sputtering, trying to hold back laughter. Everyone else was laughing, no use trying to hold it back. A little while later Evan discovered a ledge on a cliff that hung over the river. He pulled himself up onto it, with out even a little struggle, his football trained muscles ripping under his skin.
"Okay, game for everyone!" He yelled causing stopping Darb and Elizabeth fighting playfully. The four of them treaded water beneath the ledge looking at Evan. "It's just a jumping contest; one person has to sit out to be the judge." Artemis volunteered absent mindedly, pulling her self up next to Evan. He handed her a rock and she tilted her head to the right in confusion. "Each of us will jump of the ledge and you have to score us on three things, style, splash and creativity." Evan explained. "And who ever wins gets the title of the Best Jumper."
"That's a stupid prize." Apollo whispered into Elizabeth ear. She blushed at the feeling of his breath on her ear.
"I'll go first." Evan volunteered as he made motioned for the other to move. "Artemis you have to write down the scores on the cliff, that rock will work just like a pen."
"I know that!" She snapped writing Evan, Apollo, Elizabeth and Darb up on the rock wall, creating a grid, she wrote splash, style, and creativity all in capitals. She then turned back around to wait for Evan. He paused momentarily before jumping forward his hands behind his head as if he was laying down calmly, flat on his back. Artemis cringed slightly at the sound of his bare skin hitting the water sending water far enough to splash Salvatore in the face that was at least seven feet away. Artemis smiled as Evan came out of the water shaking his head to get his wet hair out of his eyes.
"That was a big splash." She said calmly, writing an eight in the splash category. "It went far but not that high. Your creativity sort of sucked." Artemis commented putting a five in that column. Evan frowned before smiling brightly.
"Whatever." He said and then pushed away from the rock ledge. The game continued uneventful. When it had been over two hours the six of them got out of the river and into the car, soaking the seats much to Evan despair. Evan dropped Elizabeth and Darb off first this time allowing Artemis her own seat and place between her and her annoying brother. Salvatore looked at the two Greek gods his eye brows knitted together for a moment studying something on Apollo's arm.
"Ummm… Apollo?" Salvatore said meeting eyes with the blonde boy in the mirror.
"Yeah?" Apollo asked lazily.
"Why do you have something gold on your arm?" Salvatore asked tilting his head to the right. Apollo narrowed his eyes examining his arm.
"W-What are you talking about?" Apollo stumbled trying to act normal at the sight of the gold gods blood dripping from a few small slashes on the inside of his arm. Artemis looked at him her eyes full of worry and panic.
"That gold on your arm right where you have those cuts." Salvatore turned around in his seat and reached out scraping his finger along one of Apollo's cut before he could swat his hand away.
"It's nothing! Just a stain from someone's pen today in school." Apollo said swiftly. Salvatore lifted the finger to his face tilting the finger from side to side, curiously etched across his face.
"Salvatore!" Artemis snapped throwing her hand out to wipe the gold god's blood off of her finger and wiping it on her leg at that moment they reached the house allowing Apollo and Artemis to quickly escape the close situation. Once the car had sped around the corrnor and up the road Apollo let out a much needed sigh.
"Whew that was close!" He breather out giggling nervousally. Artemis snorted and shrugged.
"Just don't cut yourself in front of mortals again, twit." She snapped storming inside with out another word.
Yeah that was a filler.
Thanks all of you guys for being so patient! I have four things to announce!

I have two stories I could post up here. Nether are Percy Jackson related (Ha! Fail!) But I have a Hunger Games one I am currently writing on paper / typing. It's about Haymitch's games and it is my first time writing horror/tragedy so give me some slack. And the second story was a stupid thing I came up with XD anyone know what Hetalia is? (Anime/ Manga) Raise your hand if you do. –Only one who raises hand- Okay whatever but I have a story that had fem!England and America and I am very proud of it. It takes place in the Rev. War but I'm afraid it will get rejected because I'm bad at characters who yell a lot (England)
Bad news… Unless I can think of something that can happen in The Sun Might Not Shine As Bright I might take it down till I can. ( could be months)
I have ski season coming up soon. Me and my best friend Samatha are going to kick butt this year! But with Ski racing from 9 – 3 every Saturday and Sunday plus Tusday night and we have a condo for when we ski on the weekend so I won't have my files with me…
