Alright! If anyone is curious, Tanner and Ava are in the 6th grade. Oh, and this is where 6th Grade becomes stereotypical High school, complete with little cliche groups, including Populars, Jocks, Geeks, and Misfits. So um...
Enjoy!
*4 Months after Tanner meets Ava*
A black haired man held an blonde haired woman in his arms, and held her back as if trying to shield her from something.
"I'm ashamed to be you."
Tanner was shocked. As far as Tanner knows, Tanner isn't even 16 yet, and Tanner doesn't have any black hair. Was this man talking to him?
The man looked angry.
"Your stupid. Your worthless. They only put you in that gifted class because they felt bad for you."
"Stupid."
"Worthless."
"Freak."
"Idiot."
All these words swirled in Tanner's head.
Tanner.
The man continued to yell at him. The woman was crying. Tanner thought she was beautiful, even though she was also yelling at him, and crying.
Wake up.
"Im ashamed to know you!" Ava yelled at him from his right. "You thought we were friends?"
TANNER.
"Mistake."
"Loser."
"Stupid."
"Jerk."
Tanner wanted to cry.
TANNER FOR THE LOVE OF ZEUS, WAKE UP!
Tanner jolted up.
Who was that man, and who was that woman?
What did he mean, "I'm ashamed to know you?"
And he is pretty sure he had never seen that blonde woman before.
And who is Zeus? Tanner vaguely remembered hearing about the guy being a Greek god of drama, or something like that.
Yeah.
Tanner is pretty sure its drama.
But that didn't matter. Where did that dream even come from? Who where those people, besides Ava?
He moved to sit on the side of his bed, and held his head in his hands.
His crystal blue eyes flashed a bright sea green.
His head pounded. He had memories of two different lives.
Then they were gone. His eyes were a blue again.
The pain faded.
Tanner sighed in relief.
Tanner sat in his seat, next to the pretty brown haired girl.
The words on the Morning-Work swirled around, becoming jumbled up and impossible to read.
"Alright, class! We're having a assembly at 9 o' clock, so nobody let me forget that!" Their teacher, who he now knows as Mrs. Shackles, said, grinning.
"How much do you want to bet its going to be one of those stupid, 'Be Positive!' ones, or a fundraiser?" Ava muttered.
"When are they not?" Tanner whispered to her, already having to go through 8 in the past 4 months.
The girl sighed. "Good point."
Alexandra, one of the ruder girls in their grade, sashayed through the doorway. "Sorry, Mrs. S! I'm late."
"You don't say..." Tanner swore he saw Mrs. Shackles mutter.
"Do you have a tardy slip, Alexandra?" Mrs. Shackles asked, sighing.
"Uh, nope!" Alexandra plopped down in her seat. "And call me Al!"
Tanner almost wanted to say, "'Cause thats all you can remember of your name." But he held the urge back.
"Class, please refrain from being late. And I will ask once more of you for respect. I only ask this from some people, and you know who you are. The rest are fine."
Tanner zoned out, and looked back down as his paper.
"Hawts (-2341+98)?"
He groaned.
"Hey, Ava?"
"Hm?"
"Can you help me? I can't really read this..."
"You can't read?" Jordan asked from next to him. The boy's cowboy football jersey hung loosely from his shoulders, and displayed his small muscles. "Hey- Hey, Ray! Tanner can't read!"
"What? Ha! Thats so-"
"Shut up, you idiots. Hes not alone, I bet you can't yourselves." Ava growled at the two bullies. She turned to him, and said, "Whats (-891) plus 342?"
"What?" Tanner asked, confused.
"Thats the question." Ava smiled at him.
She should do that more. He thought, in a slight daze. He shook his head, and looked down at the paper.
"-549..." He mumbled, writing the answer down. "Thanks."
"No problem. I gotta go- Pre-AP math." Ava said, putting all her stuff in her box.
"See ya."
Science, was irritating.
It didn't feel right, saying that the seasons happen because of Earth spinning around the sun on it's axis, or answering that the moon effects the tides. Names kept popping up in his head.
Persephone. Hades. Poseidon.
He once slipped up in class, saying that Lightning bolts are created by Zeus.
Needless to say, the class found it hilarious.
Tanner erased what he had wrote on his paper. It was bugging him how often he was writing down those names.
Artemis. Hermes. Boreas. Khione. Dionysus. Ares. Athena.
Poseidon was always said louder in his head, like its of importance to him.
He knew they were Greek God and Goddess names, but he didn't see why that mattered. They aren't even studying Greek Myth-
No. It didn't even feel right calling it Mythology.
When he tried to remember why the names are bouncing around in his head, and why saying, "Mythology" irked him so, he came to an annoying blank.
At one point, his head started pounding. The names were being yelled in his head, but Poseidon stayed the same volume as before, as if the name didn't want to hurt him.
HERMES. APOLLO. ATHENA. PERCY. ANNABETH. DEMIGODS.
Oh. Fantastic. More names to be yelled in his head. Thats great.
Sorry for the crappy ending.
And sorry if this isn't what happens when your reincarnated. I've never really been reincarnated before, so...
