THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE THE NEXT DAY, was not fun. especially when you had to go along with a lie your friend created about another. that was the current situation elora was in.
she hated lying, if anything she told the honest truth, and she was a bad liar too. you can always tell she is when her eyes are not looking at you directly, her leg was bouncing, and she was fiddling with her necklace.
the office was quiet, everyone looking in percy's direction. the boy got asked if he had any other excuses besides "i didn't do it", he in fact did not have any of excuses. and technically speaking he did do it, but elora was not going to argue with an angry thirteen year old boy. however, grover decided he did want to argue and roped the brown haired girl into going along with the fact that percy pushed her, something about how it's better for her safety whatever that meant.
"ms. castellan, did you witness percy push ms. bobofit"
she hesitated, and took a breath "yes sir, i did see percy push nancy into the fountain."
"well then! perseus jackson you will be expelled from school, and not to return back next year, are we clear"
"yes sir" percy mumbled, elora couldn't help but feel bad for him.
the room was silent, mr. brunner, the headmaster, grover still there but not knowing what to say. you could only hear the breathing.
"i'm sorry percy." the brunette spoke, eyes a little bit watery.
he looked at her for a moment, wondering if he should believe her.
"why are you lying to me right now." was the last words elora heard from perseus jackson or so she thought.
— ★
just two weeks later elora had almost completely forgotten about percy jackson existence, and she knows that's bad but honestly, she didn't have time for drama and boys when camp half-blood exists.
it was home to elora. though she had just come here not too long before, but she knew she was meant to be here. the people, the environment, they were like her. she finally fits in.
finding out she's a demigod was as unshockingly shocking a statement could be to a 13 years old girl. she was more happy she just had as explanation as to why she was like this than shocked though.
currently elora was trying to do everything humanly possible to get claimed, it was not working out.
she can't do archey, she can't sing, she isn't smart, she doesn't want to fight people all the time or have fire powers. the girl was stuck at who she could possibly be a child of, and she needs to figure it out soon cause the hermes cabin is crowded and starting to smell.
elora was totally overthinking it, so much that she did even notice luke came up behind her while she was making a friendship bracelet.
"hi 'lora" luke said. taking a seat at the table next to the dark haired girl.
"hi luke" the response was dry, she was not in the mood for talking and that was very clear.
"wow no need to be rude, i was just telling you that capture the flag on friday we're teaming with athena"
"oh ok, i guess that means you want me to talk to annabeth" annoyed as ever she asked but in a statement way
"precisely! now i'm going to be late to archery!" and luke was off, much to elora's liking.
