The Tale of a Freshman Demigod

'Monsters: All You Need To Know'

I head into class, weary of what I may find. Do they actually have real monsters in here? My questions are answered when I see all the cages. Yes...yes they do. There are several fossils, text books, and specimens. Almost like a normal mortal science classroom...almost.

" Like, what's the use of a ' text book', if you like, can't text with it?" Says a blonde girl with a valley girl accent.

" Like, totes," says another girl with the same accent. They look like twins, certainly not Athena's kids based off of their language and not knowing the difference from texting and a textbook. Probably Aphrodite's children.

It suddenly hits me again. Why is everyone here so stereotyped? Why is this like every teen movie or book these days, following the same ones with the dumb popular people, the hot jocks, and the mis-treated nerds? I mean, I'm not drowning in my depression unlike some of my half-siblings. Can't we go off script for once? I mean it's not like our lives are being manipulated by someone else...

Suddenly, a man walks into the room...well...trots actually...he's not even fully man...

I recognize him from the myths. He's a centaur. Upper half is man and lower half is horse. Normally known as being majestic and good at archery. Also god spawn. Gods! I'm sounding like an Athena child! Once again with the stereotypes. Seriously people! Thecentaur, I'm guessing who's Mr. C, stares each of us in the eyes coldly. I'm no longer in awe of his species.

" So," He says in his gruff voice. " In this class you will learn about monsters. How they look, where to find them, how to fight them, etcetera. The first beast we're going to learn about is the hydra. We will learn about it until Thursday and then take a quiz on the monster and phisicly fight it on Friday. Same with every other lesson each week," he keeps going on and on about the class and hydras. How if you cut off one head, two grow back in its place...so on and so forth. When the bell ending class finally rings, I stand up and grab my books right away. I'm on to my final class of the day...then I'll have a word with my mother.

Authors Note:
I'm sorry that I haven't updated recently. It's just that I had to go to Space Camp for four days and we weren't aloud to bring our electronics. Please make some recommendations for classes that Nessa should go to. The person/people with the best class can even be a character in the book if they'd like. Just state the name of the class, a little description of the class, your name/the name you want your character to have, and of course the character's godly parent. Thank you so much for reading so far,
