Reading About The Child Of Artemis

The Yarn Ladies

During dinner, everyone mingled and got to know each other. After everyone finished grabbing food, they all returned to the throne room. When everyone got all settled Athena picked up the book and started chapter two.

I was used to the occasional weird experience, guys with one eye,weird ladies with a donkey leg, but usually they were gone as soon as they came. 

"Yeah cause the whole school was in on it." Thalia said sarcastically

This whole 24/7 thing was more than I was willing to handle. For the rest of the damn school year, the entire fucking campus seemed to be playing a sick prank on me, and soon,someone was going to get punched. 

Every single student acted one hundred percent convinced that Mrs. Kerr-a perky blond woman I've never seen before until she boarded the bus with us at the end of the field trip-had been our teacher since Christmas.

Every once in a while I would randomly tell somebody a Mrs. Dodds reference, hoping to catch them off guard and give me some proof,any proof, that Mrs. Dodds existed. They only avoided my gaze,afraid of bursting my bubble and letting loose my anger on them.

It got to the point I almost gave up.

Almost.

"Ten bucks it's Grover." Travis whispered to his brother. "Your on"

But honestly, who didn't think it was Grover? 

"HA!" Travis whisper-shouted to Conner who fished the money out of his pockets.

Whenever I even mentioned her name, he would hesitate, and then claim she didn't exist. In all fairness, he tried. 

"I take back what I said earlier Grover our whole cabin has to workon that with you." The Stolls said.

But I'm too damn good. 

Something fishy was going on, and I was determined to find out. I was totally convinced that this had something to do with the Greek Gods.

I didn't think about it much in the day, but at night, visions of Mrs.Dodds swarmed my head. 

"Your dreams suck!" 

"I know right wise girl!"

But I wasn't no punk, so it didn't bother me at all.The freak weather continued, and my mood seemed to reflect that. 

One night, a thunderstorm blew out the windows in my dorm room,which I was fucking pissed about by the way. A few days later, the biggest tornado ever spotted in the Hudson Valley touched down only fifty fucking miles from Yancy, which scared the shit out of me. 

One of the current events we studied in S.S. was the oddly high numbers of small planes that had gone down in sudden squalls in the Atlantic this year. 

"What has gotten father and uncle so mad?" Asked Hermes.Nobody replied.

I started feeling cranky and irritable, well, more than I usually am. My grades slipped from a solid A+ to a A-.

"Oh that's so terrible." Replied Thalia sarcastically making everyone in the throne room chuckle.

 I got into more fights with Nancy and her stupid friends. 

I was sent in to the hallway in every class, but still managed to keep my grades decent with Grover's help. 

Finally, when our English teacher, Mr. Nicoll, asked me for the hundredth time why I was too lazy to study for my spelling tests,even though he knew I had dyslexia, I snapped. I called him an ignorant motherfucker.
