"Grover?!" I started running around, looking for him. "Where are you!....oh gods!" A big...wait is not significant...HUGE Bull starts coming after me. I ran for my life. As I was running, he jumped out of nowhere. For a huge bull, he could jump high. This had not been the usual bull; he stood on two legs. ( or hooves, whatever he prefers to call them.) One of his horns is gone. I back away fast. Which was a bad idea, I tripped and fell to the ground 

Okay, Ummmm...it kind of seems I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's take it from the top.

Hey, my name is Irene  Alexandria Solano. I'm 15 years old. And I found out I was a demigod, a few months ago. Not the craziest thing I've found out.....wait.....it is. Nothing happened, in my life before I found out  I was a demigod. I live in New York City, with my mom, and step-dad. I got to a prep school  Yancy Academy now. It's not so bad, except they're a lot of annoying kids. I  have a couple of friend in the school; we try not to get too noticed. It was the end of my freshman year of high school. I haven't caused any trouble yet. But some girls, make me want to slap them and at times strangle 

In May, we had this new kid. I don't know why he came to the school. We only had three weeks left of school. He creeps me out. He follows me and looks at me too. And with him, things went downhill.

"He's looking at you again." My best friend Anna said at our lunch table. He sat alone. He had ginger hair, with a baseball cap.  And an orange shirt on, saying something. I couldn't see what it said; he was wearing a sweater.

"This guy is a total weirdo."

"Stay calm! we only have, like what. another week left, or so." She was right. I have made it to a whole year without getting in trouble. That was a  new record. And I wasn't going to let him get in the way.

After lunch, we went over to our next class, which was Art. It was it was one of my passing grades. Next to earth science and music. And there the only classes I have an A/B in. Back to the weird kid. I go to my next class.  And I see he talking on the phone. And just by his facial expression, Something was wrong. He seems worried. 

I sat in class wait for it to start while everybody else was Making noise. But I don't pay much attention to them.

 "Hey, cutie." Oh, Gods, I hated this guy. He's been calling me that since the first day of school. He wants me to get mad enough to punch him, "Hey, Josh." getting very annoyed.  "You know, all I want is not to have you call me 'cute' for a week." 

"Well, next week is our last week of school. And I won't see you until September so I wanna enjoy the time I have with you."
I move to another seat. To the whole school, thinks I'm a loser, who has been kicked out of two schools. And I  don't plan to get kicked out of this school.

Finally, the class starts. Not paying attention

"Irene!" I look up, and I see Mr. Thomas and the class looking at me. "Did you hear me?"

"I'm sorry, can you repeat the question."
"What are Demigods?"
"I don't know."

He went up to the board and put the definition to it.
"A being with partial or lesser divine status, such as a minor deity, the offspring of a god and a mortal, or a mortal raised to divine rank." Now I feel dumb; their half-mortal have a half-god. I looked at the clock. Only 2 minutes until the class is over, then I can have some fun.

Once class was over, it was our break time. I headed out to my dorm room and grabbed my skateboard. I went to that park near the school. It was sort of like my thinking places. Listening to music. Skating around with nobody yelling or bothering me, it was relaxing. I remember the first time I was skating, I horrible. But my step-dad help me every day, to improve my skills.

With only 20 minutes left, I decided to sit under a tree still listening to my music. The wind felt unusual today (yes, I pay attention to my surroundings) as if something may happen soon. But, most likely nothing would happen to me.

"BOO!!!" my friends came behind the tree, from where I was sitting. I'm not a very easy person to scare. Not even a flinch, or jump. But they keep trying.
"I don't even know why u guys try," I said, "I'm not scared of anything."
Anna, Lucas, and Beck come to sit with me on the floor, with Anna in the middle, she had something behind her back.
"Happy birthday!" The three yelled, with the gift out
"Guys, my birthday not until next month."
"We know," Lucas said. "With school ending, we thought we could give you, your gift now, cause we're not going to see until fall."

"Ya, if she comes back until next fall," Beck said under his breath.

I punched him in the shoulder, for the comment he had made. We all knew each other, even before we had gotten to school. We meet in the mall's jail. Ya, not the best way to meet your best friends. The only reason I was in there was that I broke something, that was extremely nice and irreplaceable. It wasn't my fault; it was this mean girl that went to my school, she pushed me against it, on purpose. She hated my guts. So I ended up in the mall's jail.
But the cops looked at the security camera and saw that she did push me, so she paid the price. I still got kicked out of that school. It was my first time, getting kicked out. Then in third grade, I was in a food fight. Didn't start it, I finished it.  Once the principal saw me through the last piece of food; because I didn't see that she was behind me, I was in trouble and got kicked out. Fifth grade, science project, at school and I set a fire in the building.  Sixth grade accidentally pushed the teacher down a  pond.
Eight grade skipped class. Someone told me we have the day off, so I believe them. And I didn't show up, and I got kicked out. It was a very strict school. 
So I've been kicked out of 5 different schools. Ya, so I don't want this to be my 6th time.

So after our jail time, we became best friends. They handed me the gift; they got me. I was happy to have these friends in my life. And at the moment, I thought nothing could ruin it. I opened the long wrapped box, with a bow on top. It was one of the greatest things I've ever gotten for my birthday. It was a brand new skateboard. I know, I know. Anyone can get a new skateboard for their birthday. But it was a nice one. I don't have a lot of nice things, other than my phone. But I only had it because I was leaving home for school, and they need a way to call me.
"Do you like?" Beck asked, " cuz we can't get our money back."
I gave a grin "I love it."
"We knew you'd like." Anna comment. " We've seen, you looking at the same one on your computer." 
In class at a time, I Google thing, Cuz I get bored in class. Don't judge, it's the school fault to have us have a computer. But it's not mine. I borrowed it from the school.
"And the design won't come off. They put a special kind of coat to keep it look new. " Lucas said.
"That is awesome."
