Bad Luck Charm (A Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chapter One:

                I yawned loudly as Ms. Tanner explained how volcanoes erupted.

                “Miss Ryan, would you like to explain to the class what you have learned.” She said sternly.

                “Nah, I’m good.” I said, laying my head on the desk.

                “Detention, Miss Ryan.” She filled out a form and waved me to the front of the classroom. I walked up, taking my time. “I don’t understand why you won’t just listen!” She exclaimed to me.

                “Hello! I’m ADHD and I have dyslexia! And this class is so boring!” I replied, walking back to my seat. I sat down, getting bored again. The girl in front of me, Micah, turned around.

                “Got in trouble again? Didn’t you, Alexandra?” She teased.

                “It’s Lexi, Micah. Can’t your blonde, dumb mind get anything right?!” I said back. She snarled at me, not unlike a pug would.

                “Shut your face. At least I’m not ADHD or dyslexic.” She turned around again, hitting my face with her blonde, wavy hair. I then muttered some profanities.

                If you haven’t figured it out, I’m Lexi Ryan. I have ADHD and dyslexia, which sucks. All the teachers think I’m retarded right off the bat. I just have a hard time paying attention! I always smart-mouth everyone and am pretty much a loner. Yup, that explains my life. I’ve been expelled about six times and am seventh grade. Whenever I am around, something goes wrong. I guess I’m just a bad luck charm.

                Detention was boring, as usual. I sat at a desk in the center of a classroom, attempting to read a book. Attempting.

                “Lexi, how is The Hobbit?” Ms. Tanner asked me. I smiled falsely.

                “Great, Ms. Tanner, just great!” I said sarcastically, I don’t think she understands sarcasm, though. I tried reading the first line of the book, but the words seemed to float off the page. One, an Unexpected Party. I managed to read. I looked out the window while sighing. I gave a soundless scream.

                I just saw a face in the window staring at me, but it was a creepy face. It didn’t look human, at all!

                The skin was tainted green, and it had a crown thing on its head. It was holding a sword or something; it had scales all over it too.

                I slipped into my seat a little further. Suddenly, the window crashed open, both me and Ms. Tanner screamed.

                “Aaaahhh!” I screamed. Now, this was frightening. I stood up and got a better look at the creature. It looked like a snake and a dragon put together, sort of anyways. Not thinking clearly, I picked up “The Hobbit” and threw it at the monster. It flinched when the book hit it. Then, it charged me.

                “He needs you to awaken!” The thing hissed at me.

                “Go screw yourself!” I shouted back at it. Yup, I said that to a flipping monster. The creature pointed its gold weapon at me.

                “Die, demigod!” It shouted. It thrust the weapon toward me and I instinctively grabbed the desk to stop it from hitting me. The weapon went right through it and poked me softly in the chest. I swung the desk around so that I now had possession of the weapon.

                The snake/dragon thing lunged for the weapon, but I managed to pull it out and stab the monster in the chest. It shattered into dust, and then the wind blew the dust out the window and away from me. I fell on the ground.

                “What the…” I said softly, breathing hard. The door flung open and there stood another crazy creature. “I’m going crazy!” I screamed. This time I threw a pencil at the… thing. It stuck in his forehead!

                “Ow!” He said, at least I had hoped it was a he. “What was that for!?”

                “Stay away from me, you- you thing!” I stuttered.

                “I’m here to take you somewhere safe.” He said raising his hands up in the air as if surrendering to me.

                “Where?” I demanded.

                “To Camp Half-Blood. I’ll explain on the way, but we really have to go!”

                “But what are you? I mean, you have donkey legs!” I shouted, pointing at his legs, which were, in fact, donkey legs.

                “They’re goat legs! I’m a satyr, but no time to explain, let’s go!”

                I made a quick decision at that moment, I still don’t know if it was for the best either.

                “I- alright.” I relented. I stepped over some smashed desks and followed out of the school.
