So now I'm just gonna skip to two days later at lunch time. As usual the teachers called us up last to get our lunch cause we only had four people at our table but only two people went up everyday. Alright so the people that sit at our table is my best friends Cammie Peacock, Rosa Acer, and Luna Hunter. We are all almost fiveteen years old but anyways. Our table is diagonally across from a group of girls that are so mean to us even when we try to be nice, but they are the most snobbish group of people in the 8th grade. They were always saying that they like Cammie but not Rosa, Luna, and me but it would never get to head. I honestly didn't care what other people thought of me.
Cammie has blue grayish eyes and she's tan. She has wavy black hair with blue streaks that slightly swept over her left eye and a funny loving personality. Her outfit was a black leather jacket with a Fall Out Boy tee shirt and dark green jeans. She also wore a pair of dark cherry red combat boots.
Rosa has pale skin and has long blond shaggy hair that hung slightly over her eyes. She's really wise and smart that sometimes we would call her an owl. She would wear a variety of baggy tank tops and jeans, along with knee-high black boots.
Luna has brown-blondish short hair with choppy bangs and has brown eyes. We call her a hyena because she laughs at almost every comment whether it is funny or not. She wore a Charlie Brown shirt with slightly worn out jeans and Nikes
"Let's do the fork in the garbage disposal!Let's do the fork in the garbage disposal! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" Cammie sang. We all laughed hysterically. She was the one in our group that always tries to keep the spirit up,despite the fact she had a cruddy home life. If you read the Percy Jackson series, I still like you, well anyways she would be the Leo in our group. For some reason Cammie started to zone out and she said in an old raspy women's voice:

"Two of your own shall go to Rome,
The other two shall never go home,
The Queen of Titans soul will cease,
By the daughter of Hera and Earth's friendship crease."

Her head went down hard on the table with a loud thud. I shook her shoulders violently. Her head rose with a start. Her head almost banged into her yogurt.
"What just happened? And why was my head on the table?" she asked confused.
I stared at her in horror and said the words over in my head.
"What happened?" Cammie repeated, now extremely concerned.
"You zoned out and said some sort of riddle thing!"I said terrified because I knew what they are and what they meant.
"No I didn't say anything." Cammie said, narrowing her eyes.
"You said,'Two of your own shall go to Rome, the other two shall never go home, the Queen of Titans soul will cease, by the daughter of Hera and Earth's friendship crease.' then you banged your head on the table, HARD." Rosa said.
"This is REALLY bad." I noted "Cammie don't you remember the books? You just said a prophecy. Also who ever heard of a daughter of Hera that was not made by Zeus and her. There is no actual record of having a demigod child of Hera! It has to be a demigod, which would be one of us, because why would a god have a prophecy. That rarely happens."
Cammie looked at me with big eyes as I grabbed my notebook to write it down. All that I have in my notebook right now is information about greek gods and goddesses, monsters, titans, and just info about anything in greek mythology, because I LOVE THAT STUFF!. Also I wrote down that dream I had.
"Alright so 'Two of your own shall go to Rome, the other two shall never go home." I read outloud "There are four of us and two must go to Rome and the other two will not go home."
"Rome, Italy right?" Rosa said.
"Or that gigantic Roman empire in Greece around 146 B.C.E." Luna added. B.C.E. stands for Before Common Era which is the same thing as B.C which stands for Before Christ. Luna was very interested in egyptian and roman mythology.
"Other two shall never go home...... either they don't feel like they belong or....... gets killed or.......dies." Rosa said. Then there was a long silence between us until I spoke up.
"The Queen of Titans soul will cease. The Queen of Titans is Rhea or in roman she is called Ops. Cease means no longer exist, poof, just lost in history forever. The thing that I don't get is that Rhea isn't evil only the boy titans are, and why her soul. Does that mean she died?" I said taking care of that line.
"Are you kidding me stop putting your trash on our table just because you don't want it! Go away and take your trash with you!"I yelled to the boys. They give us our trash just to make us mad. I almost lost it so I took the trash and walked to their table which was right next to ours and threw it onto their plates."As you were saying,"
    "I don't think that she could have died because they're all immortal. Maybe people just forget about her which makes it sound like they are gone, cease to exist. By the Daughter of Hera and Earth's friendship crease. Obviously there is a daughter of Hera, goddess of marriage." Cammie said.
I blurted out, "Earth is Gaea which is mother earth. This daughter of Hera will either have a friendship with Gaea or......" my voice trailed off and there was pause until I said quieter this time,"The daughter of Hera will have friendship with a daughter of Gaea." The bell rang for us to go to class. As we were walking back to class I thought about my dream a little.
Floating rocks. Gaea. Daughter of Hera. Friendship. Daughter of Gaea.... For the rest of the day I keep on thinking about those five things until my head started to hurt. Great another migraine. My right eye would always hurt when I got these. I asked my english teacher if I could go down to the nurse to get headache medicine. Once I got my pass to go I grabbed my notebook and headed down stairs.
