SOFIA "SOFI" CARSON

OBVIOUSLY SHE didn't wanna be a half-blood. Sofia Carson did not wanna be a half-blood. her life was already weird enough, with school, and being dyslexic and having ADHD and just overall being the weird one of every school. She was every bully's victim, or so they thought.

Sofia had and always will have a backbone of metal. she has never backed down from a fight. not once, not ever. Her very first fight was in 1st grade when a bully thought they could get one over on her.

flashback starts
first grade wasn't easy. it was hard to read some words and she didn't have any friends. she sat alone during recess when some girl who looked a lot taller than her walked up to her.

"hey Sofia!" The girl yelled. Sofia shot her head up to look at the girl.

"what do you want?" Sofia said standing up from the bench and crossing her arms. "I heard that you can't read." the girl laughed. Sofia rolled her eyes

"so what?" she said clearly not having it anymore. "so that means you're stupid." the bully looks at her two friends who were behind her like a couple of minions.

"no im not." Sofia spoke firmly. she tried to hold back her anger but really wanted to teach this girl a lesson. "yes. you. are!" the girl said getting closer to Sofia and pushing her. that was Sofias breaking point.

Sofia punched the girl right in the nose, making her fall to the ground and cry of pain. her nose was bleeding and almost everyone could hear the girl scream "MY NOSE! MY NOSE!"
flashback ends

Sofia had gotten into multiple fights after that. grade after grade, fight after fight, school after school. it was never ending. you would think she was a child of ares with all the fights she had gotten in.

·:*¨༺❤︎༻¨*:·

IT WAS the first week of being expelled. Sofia was ten. her dad was already angry enough as it was. At times Sofia questioned if her dad even loved her. like, truly loved her.

Sofia was in her room reading a couple of books when her dad burst into her room. "pack something's. we are going somewhere." He said urgently.  Sofia wondered if it was a surprise trip or something..but no. no it was not.

Sofia didn't pack much, just two or three outfits in a small backpack. her dad was waiting for her in the car. she wondered what this ride to some strange place could be.

she got to the car and went to sit in the front seat. her dad immediately started driving and was silent for the first few minutes of the ride to 'strange place'

"Sofia im going to tell you something and I need you to listen all the way through. no interruptions or questions until after im done, okay?" Sofia froze. oh no. this was usually how conversations started when Sofia was staying at grandmas house for the week.

Sofia stayed silent and let her dad talk.

"Sofia, you know you're different right? I know it, you know it, everyone knows it, okay? but there's a reason your different, a reason you've been seeing all these different types of creatures. Greek creatures, that only you can see. Sofia you're special. You know how you've never met your mom? she didn't die during birth, Sofia. in fact she never died. She wasn't human- she was a...well uhm...she was a goddess. a Greek goddess...Sofia you're a demigod."

when her dad was done talking all Sofia could do was look out the windshield with a blank yet confused face. her dad kept his eyes on the road, taking quick glances at her.

"Sof, you understand-" Sofia cut him off before he could even finish his sentence.

"no, no, dad don't ask me if I understand! I don't understand. why are you telling me some story that, by the way, is not convincing at all. im not a Demi-god. don't even try and say that. yeah dad, I know im different, I know I don't belong, I know that there is something wrong with me and my brain but please don't try and screw with it even more! don't make up these story's to make me feel better, dad!"

In some parts of Sofia speaking, her dad tried to get words in but couldn't. She wouldn't stop speaking until she was done.

the rest of the car ride was silent and the sun was starting to set, making the sky a pinkish blue color.

THEY ARRIVED at a hill top where some boy with...goat legs? was standing.

"Sofia stay here until I say to get out." Sofias dad got out of the car and walked around it to go up to the goat boy as Sofia watched from the window.

"Grover, I need you to promise me she will be safe here." Mr.Carson said to goat boy, getting straight to the point.

Deep down...Sofias dad did love her, a lot. It was just hard to show it. Sofia wasn't difficult, she was troubled. And Sofias dad didn't know how to help with that.

Grover aka goat boy, nodded his head. "Yes Mr.Carson, She will be safe here. Nothing can, or will happen to her." Grover sounded slightly intimidated by Mr.Carsons firm tone.

Her father took off a ring he had on with Sofias initials on it 'SC' for Sofia Carson. He gave it to Grover and pressed it into his hand.

Sofias dad nodded his head and signaled Sofia to get out of the car. Sofia noticed this and immediately grabbed her bag and got out of the car to stand next to her dad.

"Sofia this is Grover, he will explain everything. Okay?" Sofias head snapped towards her father. "wha-wait what? you're...gonna leave me here?" She asked. The pain in her voice breaking both her fathers and Grover's heart.

Grover and Mr.Carson looked at each other before Grover decided to speak up. "Just for the summer. You'll be back in no time." Sofia could tell that, what Grover said was just to calm her down.

Sofia looked at Grover then back at her dad. "Promise me you'll come back." She said.

Sofia was tough so this didn't really make her cry but for some weird reason it felt like she wanted to.

"I love you Sofia. you know that right?" Her dad asked. Sofia gave him a hug before he left. She watched the car drive off and could only think about one thing.

He never promised.

    ·:*¨༺❤︎༻¨*:·

SOFIA AND Grover were walking closer to camp half-blood. Grover was explaining everything while they walked but Sofia barely listened. All she could think about was the promise that was never made.

Grover noticed how she wasn't talking nor listening to him talk and figured that this was the right time. He grabbed the ring out of his pocket and handed it to Sofia.

"Here...your dad told- or wanted me to give this to you." Sofia took the ring and inspected it then immediately put it on. Grover chuckled at how fast she had put on the ring.

"Thanks, Grover." Sofia said nicely.

"No problem Sofi." He said back.
