Thalia Grace didn't like going to school.
Okay, that was an understatement: Thalia Grace detested school.
She was a wild spirit. She was a demigod. She was a huntress.
How she ended up in a crowded corridor full of jocks, geeks and cheerleaders is a long story. The gist of it is that Artemis thinks that she could find some potential hunters there. Thalia didn't have problem with the idea, only with the fact that Artemis sent her.
The demigod shut the door of her locker and grimaced when she noticed a group of giggling girls in miniskirts. Sweet dreams Artemis...
"Hey, pretty girl. Wanna go out?" Thalia turned around and faced herself with a boy around seventeen. He was slightly bulky with dark brown hair, light green eyes and he was on the football team as he was wearing a T-shirt with the 'Go Panthers!' text on it.
"No," the daughter of Zeus said easily and tried to walk away, but the corridor was crowded and the boy stepped before her. Great...
"Bad answer," the boy grinned.
"I won't go out with you," the Huntress stated easily, but fixed her shockingly electric blue eyes on the boy and looked at him as nastily as she could (which was very nasty).
"Fierce little thing, I like it," the boy smirked as the thought that Thalia was just playing with him. However, the daughter of Zeus wasn't very playful, especially with boys.
"The problem is that I don't like you," the black haired girl said seriously. The air was tensed at least as much as the daughter of Zeus was.
"Oh, come on. One date, you won't die from that," the footballer said and the demigod wanted to laugh out. Actually, probably she would be dead or at least she would be turned into an animal if she ever went to a date. Artemis never liked those who couldn't keep their vows. Thalia liked her human form; she didn't like hawks that much...
"Leave me alone," she said slowly and very seriously. The mortal had guts as he only flinched and didn't run away or peed himself in fear.
"Come with me to the Prom, Thalia Grace," the boy said and Thalia lost it. No one, especially a mortal and especially a boy could call her 'Grace'. (At least those who wanted to live shouldn't.) She was quicker and stronger than a mortal so it wasn't hard to slap the football player in front of the whole school.
"Ouch," the boy shouted and he even moved back in surprise. Thalia flashed him a perfect smile.
"I'm not going out with you," she said mockingly.
"Miss Grace, detention! "Mr. Roberts shouted. However, the daughter of Zeus didn't care. Surely, Artemis will understand why she was late. Not to mention that it was worth it.
Thalia Grace detested school, but sometimes it wasn't that bad.
It was never bad to slap a boy after all.
