Olympus High

The war

I had been woken up an hour later thanks to my nymph. At OH, It's to expensive to install alarm clocks to every student so instead they hire nymphs, who work for cheep, to wake us up. Sage, daughter of Syrinx, was talking to the OH boys. Everyone knew that the nymphs at OH we're completely boy crazy. The OH boys, however, ate up their flirting which made most of them have huge Egos. But not Payton. He was pretty chill.

I had woken up far before Sage had came in so I was late by five minutes. I then rushed down the stairs, resulting in tripping and skinning my elbow. I ran to Mr. Cyclops's room to find him snoozing in his chair.

I went into the cafeteria and found that everyone was sitting there eating breakfast. What? How is that possible? It's 8:53!

I went to the line anyway and ordered. Octopus Lunch lady was serving what looked like pancakes so I grabbed 4 while she goggled at me like I was the one with abnormal arms. I sat down with Abby, Abigail, Paisley, and Piper.

"Ew! Why would you get that? You know those things are terrible, right?" Piper said, spooning in some eggs and a salty  ketchup.

"Oh shut up, Piper! You eat ketchup and eggs and we don't say it tastes like sandals." Abigail said friendly. Piper then shoved her friendly and everyone at the table started laughing.

I gingerly took a bite..................................................

And threw up in my mouth.

It tasted crunchy, while when my Mom used to make it, was moist and soft. It had something black in the batter while it was cooking it seemed. I thought it was a chocolate chip but it was instead a fly. I looked around the pancake and it was made of bugs, some of which were still moving.

I got up from the table and emptied everything in the trash near the cashier. Although, out of the corner of my eye, I could see a frog- like lunch lady who had huge goggling eyes stick out her long, pink and slimy tongue out and slurped up my pancake. I shuddered as I asked for ambrosia oatmeal and headed back.

"You realized that the pancakes you just ate are made from swamp batter?" Abby said.

I saw that Piper was picking at her food. " Do you want some?" I said, pushing my oatmeal towards her.

"Get that away from me." Piper said, backing away from the table.

I pulled it closer to me and she sat back down again. "It's just oatmeal. What's the big whoop?" I said, spooning some.

"It's not the oatmeal. It's the ambrosia. I'm not immortal like you guys. Ambrosia would make my bones turn to fire and nectar would turn my blood to sand. Or maybe I got that mixed up. Either way, I would die."

"Sorry, Piper." I said, sipping my nectar carton.

Piper glared at me. "No. You shouldn't be sorry. I don't need your pity. You're a DemiGod, aren't you?"

"Fine," I said, "I'm sorry for your teachers. They shouldn't have to deal with your attitude."

"Ooh!" Ashton said from the GodBoy table nearby.

I rolled my eyes and glared at Piper.

Abby came between us. "Just calm down!"

Piper looked at me, tears in her eyes. Not quite crying but about to. It was like if I even so much as touched her she sound explode in tears and sobs. "Do you know what it's like? Do you have any idea how it's like to be nothing like anybody else? Going to this school is just a daily reminder to me that I'm nothing like anybody in here. My skin doesn't shimmer like yours. I can't eat ambrosia and nectar like you. But do you wanna know one thing I can do that you can't? Die. I can die. You can't. Even going to Beast-ology can kill me. Just taking an uber chariot to my house back on earth is enough to kill me because monsters still go after people who smell like Demigods and halfbloods. So thanks for reminding me, Ariana. Thank you so much for reminding me I don't belong here. Thanks so much for clearing up for everyone that I don't fit in. Thanks for salting the wound."
