Mortals meet Demigods

Skylar

Hey there guys, I'm Skyler! A little bit about me is that I am 16,
have blonde hair and blue eyes and I am best friends with Chris
Rodriguez, my crush. I don't get why he's my friend when he's like
the most hottest boy in school and is constantly invited to sit with
the 'cool' kids, but he just declines and sticks with the nobodies.**
(Not that anybody who isn't in the popular group is a nobody... I'm
not in the** **popular group either.)** He is always asked out by
many people, but turns them down, but today we all found out
why . . .

We had just come into the Gym when we realised our usual teacher.
Coach Hale wasn't here. In his place, was a small man with a baseball
bat. He didn't look familiar, but Chris seemed to know him since he'd
shouted, "Coach Hedge! What are you doing here?" 'Coach Hedge' turned
around and greeted him in a hushed whisper. I strained to hear. "
Smelled ... Demigod ... Cupcake ... " Demigod?what ' s that? Chris responded
in the same hushed tone, " Her... Sky ... Dyslexic ... " Chris and I were
both Dyslexic were both dyslexic, but what did that have to do with
demigods ?

They finally stopped talking when the Gym had started to fill in with
kids. Chris joined me at the back of the rest of the kids. " Listen
up cupcakes ! I'm your fill in coach for today and we're going to be
doing some sword fighting today, " this earned a lot of excited
whispers including me. In fact I was so excited that I whooped, "Shut
up! Anyway, I'm not actually going to be teaching since we have an
instructor from a camp in Long Island." He winked at Chris and I
looked over at Chris to see him smiling widely.

Just then a buff girl with brown hair and brown eyes came through the
Gym doors. She was wearing a red bandana across her forehead. " I
give you Clarisse! Good Luck cupcakes ! " he then limped over to the
bench. All eyes turned the girl when she cleared her throat. " Listen
up punks! Today, we're doing sword fighting. I'm gonna need a
volunteer!" Two hands went up. Jack, a jock and Chris.

She pointed at Jack, completely ignoring Chris. " You, come here."
Jack stepped forward and walked over. " Now listen closely, I'm going
to be demonstrating some moves on him an-" She was cut off by Jack
scoffing. "Please, I've been learning sword fighting for three years
now, I can easily beat you." Clarisse smirked and I heard Chris
stifle a laugh beside me. "Ok then." was all she said. They started
fighting and in one second flat. Jack's sword was dismantled and at
his neck." Three years my a**. Get back in line." Chris stifled a
laugh as Jack scrambled back towards the rest of the kids.

"Now Rodriguez! Get your backside up here!" Chris came forward with
his hands up. He laughed lightly. "Ok ok, I'm coming." How did they
know each other? He grabbed a wooden sword and got ready to fight.
They fought for a couple minutes at an amazing speed. They lashed,
parried and deflected each others blades until Clarisse finally
dismantled his sword and had one sword at his throat and another at
the back of his neck. How did he learn to fight like that?! They were
pro! She let him go and Chris leaned forward, capturing his lips in
hers. There were many gasps and they stayed like that for a couple of
seconds. I felt sad, but it was quite obvious that they weren't going
to be breaking up, judging by the looks of love they gave each other.
They made a cute couple anyway.

When they broke apart, Clarisse smirked. "Alright Rodriguez, you can
give me back my stuff now." Chris handed her a wallet, a beaded
necklace similar to his own and other things like gum and shades. How
did he manage to take them without anyone noticing?! "You're missing
one more thing." She looked at him pointedly and he sighed. He fished
out a ring out of his pocket and handed it to her. He then retrieved
another and slid it onto his own finger. What? He was engaged? " I
don't get why you took that when you're the one who gave it to me."
Chris just shrugged and smirked.

They turned to us all, as if finally registering that we were there.
They both blushed when I squealed and ran forward. "Chris! You never
told me you were engaged or even had a girlfriend? ! That must explain
why you turned down practically everyone!" I smacked my forehead.
Clarisse smirked. She turned to him and said " Apollo." he nodded and
laughed. For the rest of the lesson, both of the continued to teach
us how to sword fight.

When the lesson had ended and I'd gotten dressed, I saw Chris and
Clarisse hugging with his arms around her waist and her arms around
his neck. I fought the urge to squeal and walked in front of them. I
clapped my hands loudly and they broke apart blushing, but Chris kept
his arm around her waist. I grinned and held out my hand to Clarisse.
"Hey there! I'm Skylar, Chris' great friend!" She smiled at
me .

Before she could say anything, a giant mastiff broke through the Gym
doors. I was mildly suprised. The reason? Because I've always seen
these monstrous things. I just kept quiet about since if probably be
dragged of to a mental institute. Clarisse and Chris grabbed ? They
attacked and thirty seconds later, the thing exploded into golden
dust! So cool! " That was so cool! You guys were like this and then
this and then that." I shrieked while mimicking a bunch of moves.
Clarisse laughed, "OK girl, you're obviously a demigod, so you'll
have to come with us to camp." I squealed. Yeah! I'm going to that
camp that Chris always talks about! We walked out of school and into
a van called Delphi strawberries and drove to 'camp'.

It was so amazing! During the campfire, I was claimed as a daughter
of Apollo.

Okay guys this was a SUPER old one I did and I never posted but idk what happened to the spacing and stuff but when I pasted it that happened sooooo...
