Chapter 4: Haha, creepy
Em's POV:
It's been five minutes since the fury attacked, and here I am, with the most popular kids in school. Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Thalia, and Nico. Now they are all in relationships except one, there is Percabeth, Jiper, (A/N or Jasper, but I like Jiper better.) Frazel, and now I think Thalico. Poor Leo, he's a loner. But Thalia was saying something about a Calypso, I think she was talking about the goddess nymph. The one cursed on the island of Ogygia.
I go and walk to a desk that isn't broken and sit down. This is all to much, I go to school thinking it will be a regular day, but I am stupid to think that. I mean I live in a freaking foster home! Everyday more I live the the more I want to just run away.
I'm always teased, pushed down the stairs and have things thrown at me. I have to do every ones homework, because I have perfect grades. I might have ADHD and dyslexia but I also have perfect memory. But I've never told anybody. I don't have anyone to tell. Then there is my dad who now people are saying is Thanatos. The Greek god of death, I'm the only one who is, great more people who will make fun of me.
I bet all these people have lots and lots of brothers and sisters. And they all are like one big family. I lay my head down and look out the window. The trees are beautiful the way they away in the wind and how the sun hits them. I hear whispers behind me, “Do you think she will move into the mansion with us, I mean she is family." I lift my head up, what? “I don't know," I put my head back down, why would they ever want me with them. “Only if she wants, for all we know she could have friends wherever she's staying at, she could be living at a family members on herons side." Percy states, I raise my head lean back in my chair and say,
“I live in Howleys Foster Home For Troubled Kids, none of my moms family wanted me, I have to go there, do all their homework. Then get pushed around and do all their chores. They then place me in front of a door and throw things at me. Push me down the stairs, and when it's dinner time they tie and duck tape me to a chair. I get in trouble and have to make desert which I don't get to eat everyday! For the last ten years!! And why would you ever invite someone like me to your houses? I'm just some freak.
“I can't be family cause I'm sure you all have nice houses and brothers and sisters and a mom or a dad who is now probably married and now you all have both happily married families!" I can't gold back anymore tears start streaming down my face, I watched my mom get murdered right in front of my face when I was five.
Found out none of my family wanted me, went to a regular foster home, almost strangled this one kid. Got sent to the stupid Howleys, get beaten up everyday, and go to school only to get made fun of.
“My mom was murdered from a fire I started because of my evil babysitter who was actually gaea, or mother nature. None of my family wanted me either." Leo says.
Then Thalia says, “ And my brother Jason here was given away by our mother to wolves, so I ran away met Luke and Annabeth. Died, got turned into a pine tree, almost died in that form. Came back to life joined the Hunters and found out Luke was a bad guy. He then died and yea, then there was a couple wars." They all go on explaining all their life stories.
Depressing, that is all I can think. Their lives are harder then mine. Mine is nothing like theirs. God, (I mean gods,) and I'm here complaining thinking I have it the hardest. I mean Thalia died and turned into a freaking pine tree! “Sorry, your lives are much worse then mine, and I'm just sitting hear being a crybaby thinking I have it hard but I don't." I say.
“But Em, you do have it hard, we all do so that is why we want you to come live with us. At our house, it's a place where you can be free, and have no fears. Please come with us, we want you to stay with us." Piper says, I want to, really bad. I want to fit in and have friends. But what if they are just trying to backstab me.
