Okay, sorry this chapter is short but I really needed to post it so I could do this authors note...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
FIRST REVIEW!
Pandastyle you made my LIFE!
And, in reply to your review:
Thank you so much for saying I'm a good story-teller! As I said, I dream of being a legit author, so I try to sound professional.
I KNOW! I'M SORRY I KILLED PERCABETH! I knew I'd get crap for that. Trust me, I am NOT a Percabeth hater! I f***ing LOVE Percabeth! Best couple ever! SO CUTE!
And I understand about the whole 'won't be reading cuz Percy's death pisses you off' (Thats my words, not hers btw).
I really hope you do tell your friends! That means so much to me! Thank you bunches! And also, thanks for wishing this a successful story. You cannot understand how happy you made me! (Despite the SLIGHT flame about Percabeth's death). It was like twenty mins ago I read it and I'm still smiling! Made my life! Thank you!
Anyhoo...
Song: Mindset by Every Avenue
Seen in concert twice, good band, good song. :)
Realized I forgot to list Panic! At The Disco as a favorite band! Seen em twice! Odd...but good! First album is my fave.
Okay, now I'm gonna rant about TV shows I like cuz I'm random this way. If you dont give a crap, just don't read this.
First of all, I'm odd. So I watch Disney and Nickelodeon, and then shows I watch with my dad. For Nickelodeon my friend and I are obsessed with House of Anubis. Its a really good show with Egyptian mythology! I LOVE Fabian! If you keep in mind it's Nickelodeon so the actors aren't the best, it's a GREAT show! Though, in season three, Nina, the main character, isn't gonna be in it, supposedly! Dafuq? If they put Fabian with another girl, I will hunt the writers down.
I also watch (and this is extremely nerdy) My Babysitters A Vampire on Disney. Again, actors aren't the BEST and idea is really kinda lame but I personally like it.
As legit shows, I LOVE Bones. Why did Brennan have to leave? WHY?! POOR BOOTH! Christine is so cute! I also love Hodgins. Funny and rich...whats not to love? ;) Supposedly Season eight starts September 17th!
And Supernatural. A little spookier, but I'm a complete WIMP and I can handle it. :) Really good! Don't know when Season eight starts, but pumped! Both Bones and SUpernatural left with a DAMN cliffhanger! UGG!
After writing this, I am now listening to Break Your Little Heart by All Time Low
Disclaimer: I'm sorry, now the author is currently too busy jumping around and clapping and being to ecstatic about her first review to state that she does not in fact own Percy Jackson.
Again, sorry about killing Percabeth, but the story, sadly, wouldn't have worked with them alive. They're partying it up in Elysium. :) Remember that. :)
Reviews PLEASE! As you can see, they make me SO excited to post! Hopefully, I'll have chapter five and MAYBE chapter six up today as well. :)
After English I had World History. Forty-five minutes of boredom later, it was lunch. Not sure if I was anticipating or dreading it, I stopped at my locker to drop off my stuff-the same notebook, folder, sharpie, and pencil as before-grabbed some cash, and walked to the cafeteria. While, I wasn't sure where it was, it was easy to find. I just followed the huge throng of students, talking and shouting eagerly to each other.
Feeling a steady growth of discomfort, I kept my head down and found the lunch lines. Honestly not sure how 'edible' the food was, I went with the safe choice of salad bar. After I paid for my lunch with cash I walked to the tables. There were about two dozen large tables, seating about twelve each, and seven smaller tables, seating about six. It was a little overkill since there were only about 150 people with this lunch hour. I began walking to one of the empty smaller table when I heard Zack call my name. I turned and saw him waving me over. He sat at a smaller table in the corner by large windows. Next to him were two girls and another guy.
Scrunching my nose I walked over, figuring Zack would just hunt me down wherever I sat. He patted the seat next to him and I sat down. He turned to his friends. "Everybody, this is Lena. She's new." Obviously. "Lena, this is Kara, Lexi, and Alex." He gestured to his friends.
Kara was probably about my height and had wavy brown hair. Her face had not a speck of make-up on and she dressed similar to me, in black clothes that clearly stated 'I am not like other girls, assume so, and you will regret it.' Her eyes were a brown that matched her hair.
Lexi was shorter with long stick-straight blonde hair. Like Kara, she was extremely athletic looking. Her eyes were a pretty green. She wore a pink tank-top and white skinny jeans. On most occasions, if I saw her walking towards me, I'd turn on my heel and walk away.
Alex looked a lot like kara with brown hair and brown eyes. Like Zack he was well tanned and muscled. Although, he was probably the tallest out of us all.
While Alex and Lexi seemed immediately welcoming, Kara was studying me, as I was doing to her.
To break the obvious tension, Zack spoke. "So, Lena where are you from?"
"My last school was in Colorado I think." I replied.
Lexi frowned. "You think?"
I shrugged. "Wasn't there long." Two weeks to be exact.
"Heard you've been to a tone of schools," Alex asked, sounding impressed.
"I've had my share of schools and expulsions." I replied cooly. This was my tenth high school, I went to nine middle schools, and fourteen elementary schools. I was expelled from nineteen of them. Why schools still accepted me was beyond my understanding.
Alex jerked his head at Zack. "Zack here is reigning champ of expulsions. Nine of them. How about you."
I felt a smile tug my lips. Nine? Really? I was supposed to be impressed. Trying to suppress my smile I turned to Zack. "Damn. Wouldn't have pegged you as a bad boy."
"Is that your type?" Alex asked, sarcastically flirtatious.
"Continue hitting on me," I warned, "And you'll see exactly why I was expelled from my last school." Technically beating up a perv wasn't the reason I was expelled, but he didn't have to know that.
He laughed good-naturedly. "So, you really are the girl you beat up Jack."
I shrugged. "Don't like it when guys hit on me."
Lexi chuckled. "Obviously."
I picked at my salad as they conversed more about teachers and assignments. I honestly wasn't listening until I heard Zack say my name.
"Huh, what?"
"How has your first day been?"
I paused, thinking about it. "Already assigned detention for three weeks and I've already set one fire and caused an explosion. And its only," I glanced at my watch, "eleven forty-five. I'd say it's been a productive day."
Zack, Alex, and Lexi laughed. I squirmed in my chair, not used to positive attention. Oddly, the only thing I was comfortable with was Kara's glare. Negative attention, that I was plenty used to.
They asked for the details of my fight with Jack, fire in Foods I, and explosion in Chemistry. Feeling awkward I replied.
The weird thing, though? I slowly relaxed.
Occasionally I would glance at Kara, who hadn't spoken a word the entire lunch, and look her glare right in the eye. At this she would narrow her eyes, seeming unused to people not cowering under her glare. But I had faced far worse. I was not scared of this girl, demigod or not.
Which led me to the question...
Were these demigods? If so, of who? Should I be concerned? I usually stuck to going schools in the middle states to avoid both Roman AND Greek demigods, in addition to satyrs and every monster the gods send after me. And that was quite a lot. Luckily, some gods favored me and gave me protection that helped me stay shielded from the gods who wish me harm. Although, if I stay in one place too long, they can find me, as well as the occasional lucky monster.
After lunch ended, Zack followed me to my locker, which I didn't find quite as annoying as I thought it'd be. He did most of the talking, sensing that I wasn't a real sharing-is-caring type of gal.
He also showed me to my next class, some art class, then bid me farewell, promising to see me in gym next hour. When he left, I stood there for a second, completely confused about what just happened.
