Just so yall know, my school doesn't do 'Permission Slips'. Instead the parents/guardians sign a note at the start of school that says that you can go on fieldtrips, so yeah. Also, I didn't do much research for this chapter, so just go with it.
I got to school today, and saw Melvin, George, and Harold sitting in the same classroom. Ever since yesterday, I've been trying to piece together why Melvin would hate George and Harold, and I've came up with 2 possible choices.
1. He's jealous of them for their popularity.
2. He thinks that they're stupid.
It could be either one, but I'm not sure. Anyways, I sat in my seat, and in the front of the classroom there was a fat guy wearing a cheesy Rome-style costume with the little leaf hat. He started talking about Rome- in-a-Day, so I fell asleep pretty fast. Near the end of him talking, George and Harold started asking questions about his personal life, and I woke up entirely when the fat guy yelled, "'Cause Kenny the Drummer took my girlfriend!! There, ya happy?".
TimeSkip to after Lunch
It was recesses time, and I was on a swing. Slowly rocking back and forth as the kids around me played with their friends and ran around, played hopscotch, and talked to each other. I don't need friends, I thought. I don't need anyone else, I told myself.
I swing back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Until, I saw George and Harold walk up to a large bubble that I somehow did not notice before. I didn't care much, so I didn't do anything much.
The next day, I went to school and saw a huge ship titled, 'The Timetanic'. That's an odd name. I thought to myself, slowly gravitating towards it. "Well, I guess we're taking a boat to Rome-in-a-Day," Mr. Krupp said. Why is nobody questioning this?
I got inside after all the other students, and noticed Melvin, half-asleep, sitting in the back with George and Harold. I sat in the row in front of them, but got pushed off by some jerk who wanted the seat all to themself. I fell to the floor, and hit my head pretty hard, and there was a sharp pain in my shoulder. I turned around to see a metal spike protruding out of the seat, and I was bleeding. I didn't think much of it, and looked for a place to sit while holding my shoulder.
"Hey!" A voice yelled from behind me. I turned around and saw Harold waving me over, motioning for me to sit down near them. I sat down on the window side of the seat, resting my arm on a bag I was able to bring along, and I eventually fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of the 'bus' door opening, and kiss walking out. Melvin was arguing with George and Harold about how they manipulated him. That's when it clicked. You're in ACTUAL Ancient ROME!! You felt like you were about to faint, but just grabbed a container of water from my bag to shake the feeling off.
I were wandering around, careful not to go too far away from the rest of the school, but came back soon after realizing there was barely anything out there. When I got back, there were guards imprisoning my classmates, and one was running over to take me to!
I quickly reached into your bag, pulled out a red paint spray can, and sprayed it at the floor around myself, not knowing what to do. I put it back, and took out a can of WD-40, and a pocket lighter. I sprayed the WD-40, and lit it on fire with the lighter, keeping the guard at bay.
When I put away the can and lighter, I saw hundreds of guards bow down, and escort me to who knows where. All in the meanwhile, my classmates are clapping in the background like nothing's wrong. I look at my clothes to see that blood had now covered the whole back side of them, making it look like I've been through war. I was brung to a stand in the middle of the stadium, in which I immediately recognized King Julius Ceaser standing on it. The guards whispered something into his ears, and his face turned pale. Ah sh*t, am I a goddess now?
I was motioned to step onto the stand, and then Mr. Ceaser yells, "Alright everyone!! Cram it! We have a very special guest today from the heavens itself. Give it up for Hestia, goddess of the hearth and its fires!". Welp, at least it makes sense. I think to myself.
End of Part 1.
