Okay, I used random people's names for the mean people, I mean no offense and it has no coordination to real, actual people.
Shout out to the following reviewers… Forever-Fangirl-PJO-HP, Writer432, and tfiosminionfood
Thank so much! Also, I realized that I did not do the right tense in the last chapter, and I messed up, sorry! I was seriously debating replacing it, but decided against it, because in all seriousness, how many of you noticed?
Now, I think it's time for Art Class!
DESTINY AWAITS!

Sophie POV
I walk into art class in a secluded corner of the school, dead ending next to the emergency exit. Mrs. Lilith greets me on my way in. I smile at her and continue through.
Of course, Carole and her minions, Sarah and Leah, have to make my already badly progressing day, worse. In her shrill, squeaky voice, Carole starts with the insults, "Hey there, Soph the oaf." Her minions snicker and grin.
"Wow, that's original," I reply with a snarky tone. She is just stupid. I mean, the rhyming insults, what are we in Kindergarten? Well, I don't know about me, but she certainly has the smarts of one!
I walk past them "accidentally" shouldering Carole. I walk over to my seat. I open my sketchbook, and take out a sharp Ticonderoga pencil from my purple pencil pouch. I start to draw a detailed peacock. I finish with the outline, and start on the head. Sometime, while I was drawing, the bell rang.
I just zone out when I focus on something. Suddenly, my desk partner, Fred, taps me on the shoulder, repeatedly. I was very irritated with this. "What?!"
Fred looks startled by my sudden outburst, but still is able to garble out something like, "Attendance!"
I feel my face heat up, but I don't blush. Blushing just doesn't really happen for me. I instantly look up at Mrs. Lilith, she's already looking at me, how embarrassing. I quickly say, "Here," and she continues with ease. I mean this does happen daily.
I continue with drawing my peacock. Mrs. Lilith says that we will be painting on canvas'. I walk over to my canvas and try to think what I want to paint. I then hear this awful, guttural noise.
I turn around and all I see is a girl in my class, named Lacy, so I turn back around. I take my sharpened pencil and am about to start drawing an outline, when I hear the strange noise again.
I turn around again. Lucy is just standing there. I finally say what I've been thinking, "Are you okay? Do you need to see the nurse?"
She turns towards me further, eyes written with pure hatred and acrimonious. I repeat myself, "Are you okay? Do you need to see the nurse?"
Now, I don't really know her that well, but I know right now, by the look in her eyes, she could kill me right now. Lucy looks beyond furious. I back up instinctively, that stare is harsh, I mean what did I ever do to her?
Lucy straightens her back and throws her head back in laughter. She received quite a few odd glances from people, including me.
"No," she replied, "but you will!" What?! What on earth is wrong with her? Was Lucy going to attack me?
"You will pay for what your mother did!" She shrieked.
I voiced my thoughts, "But I don't even know my mother!"
"Oh yes, the gods seem quite fine leaving their kids without any explanation now days don't they?!" She is insane!
"What are you saying? There are no gods!" I say, exasperated.
"Oh, so no one's told you? Not even your little friend or teacher?" I know who the friend is, but what teacher?
I don't know what to say. So my sentence sounds a lot like, "Uhhhh…"
She laughs mercilessly. I swear this school is turning into an insane asylum. Lucy all of a sudden changes what she looks like, her usual snakeskin belt changing rapidly into a snake and her hidden snake tattoo on her right arm changes into a snake also.
"What on Earth?" I start.
"Now, you will see my true form demigod!" She yells in my face. Demigod?! What the heck? Someone takes Mr. Brunner's class way too seriously.
Her iris' grew so I could barely see the whites of her eyes. Her pupils then follow suit. Lucy's skin stops looking like her skin and more like a scaly snake. Her legs pull together and grow longer and scales envelop them too. A sharp barbed line of scales sprouts up her tail.
I gasp in horror. I am having yet another nightmare, this isn't real. It's not possible. She runs around towards me and I pick up the closest object to me, which just so happens to be my sharp pencil. I jab at her. Lucy, if that's even Lucy anymore, effortlessly avoids it.
I run around the room, trying to find something more useful than a pencil. People just act like this is all normal. Yeah right! Say that to the crazy snake lady chasing me! Mrs. Lilith says, "I'm glad you're in such a rush to work on your art! You are actually really into schoolwork!" I just nod and run by.
Yeah, schoolwork, I run past something that glints in the lighting, I quickly dash back. I found exacto knives! They aren't very long, but they are sharper than my pencil, and more abundant. I sprint into a complete circle, right back to my canvas in the corner. I scootch in more so Lucy goes around towards the canvas.
"Oh, it will be fun killing you. So lively, you really put a fight! Not!" Lucy said.
"Uggg! What's with the killing?" I was tired.
Lucy and I were going around in circles, me in front of the canvas, then her, and then me again. I lunge at her. She sidesteps it. Now she's towards the canvas. I throw all of the exacto knives at her like darts, which I love to play. Lucy's arms are pinned and her tail swung around and I fell on my back, pain shooting up my spine.
I quickly rise because I don't want Lucy to get a one-up on me. I realize that I threw all of my exacto knives at her. Lucy snarls, "No weapons, what are you going to do? I swore that I was going to have revenge on your mother, and killing you will be perfect!"
She tries to move, only when Lucy tries to move, the exacto cuts deeper into her skin, ashes dripping from her inflicted wounds. I perceive that I have my sharp pencil in the back pocket of my ripped jeans.
I slowly shuffle forward towards Lucy and she tries to grab at me. I avoid her grasp. I decide that it wouldn't be super smart to question her, but I do anyway. "What do you mean my mom?"
She just laughs cruelly. "I will tell you nothing young demigod!"
"See, you keep calling me young demigod, what do you mean?" I ask.
"I refuse to tell you anything young demigod!" Lucy has a smug look on her face.
People were starting to give me strange looks, I know that I can't do this much longer without attracting any attention, but the thing is, how did I not catch anyone's attention earlier by running from a strange snake lady?!
Lucy tries to escape again, I just say, "Goodbye, Lucy."
I plunge the pencil into what I presume is her heart. Lucy disappears and the ashes splat onto my fresh canvas. The shape of her body magically fits on the canvas. I don't even know how that's possible, the crazy snake lady is ground into my canvas, seeming like I painted it. I don't even know what it is, but it looks like a perfectly done charcoal drawing of what I was just fighting.
Mrs. Lilith walks over, "Oh my goodness Sophie, this is amazing!" She compliments.
I thank her, though it's kind of awkward. The bell rings about ten minutes later. I was so exhausted, I slept until the bell rang. I walked out of art class and into my next class, math.
Hopefully math won't be as exciting as art, and I'll only ever say that once in my life. I hope that Mr. Diego won't notice if I fall asleep, and hopefully won't call on me.
Author's Note: So what did you guys think? I want to know all about it in reviews! They mean a lot to me, even if you're a guest and just say "good". I'm cool with that! So, please review and I will be updating soon, I hope! I don't know what I'm naming the next chapter, sorry! :]
