Who knew a normal school could attract so much trouble? Needing demigods sent to look out for kids that are oblivious to their parents' origin.
It's hard for the high school demigods to live their teenage life to the...
Suzy and Jennifer had split us up Jennifer taking Autumn with her and me... Yup left with the queen of poison herself. I will say I'm happy that Autumn at least won't have to deal with her as much... I can't believe she didn't tell me about her parent situation.
The lady that owned the store named Elsie went with A and Jennifer to help them get dresses that fit them. Suzy was dragging me around the whole shop telling me that some dresses would "100% would fit me" (every single dress she said "would fit me" was so god dam ugly) gods I am not big of an idiot, even though I'm Percy's sister. Suzy would say stuff like "this dress would fit you... if you didn't look like that" and "you know your body kinda does look good but.... Your face ruins the image quite a lot" making my blood boil, but as Chiron often tells me and some Ares kids 'keeping calm is always gonna give you victory' so every time she would say stuff like that I would just sigh and kindly thank her for her constructive criticism. It seemed like Autumn and Jennifer had gone to the back of the store since I easily lost site of them, but that could also just be because of Suzy's constant talking and complaining about my looks being bad and her not finding the dress she wanted, like her dream dress concerned me.
"Hello? omg are you even listening? ugh see this is why no one ever understands me" Suzy complained and I realized I had zoned out through our whole 'conversation' even though it was mostly one-sided "I'm sorry what? I was just looking around a little you know, what were you saying" I told her, acting like I had been looking the whole time instead of flowing around mindlessly. She rolled her eyes "well alright then like any dress would look good on you so anything you like? since you seem soooo captivated" I shook my head as a no but also cause I don't think I heard all of what she said, so she once again rolled her eyes at me "seems like we'll be here for a long time then... But as I was saying who are you going with? And why were you so defensive of Ryan? It was almost like you were going with him which, sorry but... To say it as nicely as I can, I don't think you guys match very well" she questioned and said with a face showing many signs of disgust. Okay how the Hades do I formulate this.
I looked her in the eyes holding a wavering eye contact "well I'm pretty sure you know him, he is nice and uhm yeah.... I just wanted it to be fair for the girl who was already going with him you know" I said, and suddenly Jennifer came over with a beautiful purple dress that already complimented her eyes and skin tone even without wearing it "Suzy look what I founnnddd hahaha" she said in a happy sing-song voice, which put a smile on my face.
"I mean yeah it's pretty, but you could definitely do better" Suzy said actually sounding a tiny bit empathetic as she went over to another dress "this is SO much better and~~~ it will attract so many more boys, I was thinking about choosing this one but decided not to in cause you didn't find any" and wow Suzy smiled she SMILED. Jennifer had a look of slight happiness but her eyes showed a little disgust looking at the dress "thank you Su but, I think I would be more comfortable in this one, but thank you" Suzy sighed but was okay with Jennifer choosing the one she wants... I guess that's how she can be, if she wants to be kind.
Suzy had finally found her dress, the whole time dragging me down. I was not feeling very good, but at some point I saw a dress that spoke to me, it was a beautiful dark blue dress going down to the floor, with long sheer mesh, puffy off-the-shoulder sleeves that reminded me of the ocean when you look at it from the top,but also the night sky without it's stars. It reminded me of a place i call home and a book without it's story, but at that point I didn't care much and took it to try it on. I of course was not able to avoid the obvious looks from Suzy of disgust, and the only thing i could think of was why she was so dam much after me? "you know I don't really think that's gonna look too good on you Marina..." I just rolled my eyes and gave her a sarcastic smile, waiting to enter a changing room, but she just wouldn't budge telling me I should choose something else, that needed a warmer colour or something, and that whoever was my date must have been so unlucky. I was just so done with her and her thinking she's so smart and needs to 'style' me, I didn't even wanna try the dress on anymore. She had ruined it for me, my image of myself, the view I saw as strong, at least decent and unique this morning was now, the most ugly, fat, useless and unfit body, with an unfit personality and mindset that needed to change.
I felt so weak, so tired and so useless, like what I had trained for my whole life had been a waste, had made me worse than I already was. The only thing I wanted to do in this exact moment was to just break down, to cry, to be with my brother, Annabeth, Chiron HELL, even the Stolls. I just wanted - I needed to be with someone I could feel at home with, that I could trust with my tears and my worries without feeling too burdening. The thought that such comments could get to me was stressful and down putting, and filled my mind to the brim so much i didn't notice the tears that were running down my cheeks and the soft and quiet sobs that were coming from me and the slight shaking my body was doing, until there was a slight knock and a sweet voice sounded "is everything okay sweetie? would it be okay if i came inside?"
It was Elsie, and she was so kind the whole time helping me in the dress, complimenting me and not pushing me what so ever. I may have called her grandma by accident but, we don't need to talk about that. I met Autumn outside the store, but the two others were gone... Well i didn't expect anything else either way.
