Mortals Meet Demigods

Skylar Elliot

Strange_Girl101

I walked to school with my best friend Annabeth. She's my best mortal friend, I know that sounds strange but I'm a demigod. My name is Skylar Elliot, I am the daughter of Hermes. We have a place for people like me, it's called Camp Half-Blood. I guess you would say I'm new to the camp, I came a little bit after this war I've heard about. It sounded so bloody and confusing I didn't want to hear it. Anyway, I think I might tell Annabeth soon, I need to be careful though. 

We can't have random people knowing about our world. Anyway, Annabeth was talking about her boyfriend, about how dorky and weird he his- yet how sweet and thoughtful. Annabeth was always the top of the class- the school even.

"Do you think I could meet him?" I laughed, from what I heard he sounds like the son of Poseidon.

"Maybe, but he lives in downtown Manhatten a couple of hours from us. I'd have to make sure he isn't busy." She replied moving hair out of her face.

"You know, whatever is cool with you." I jumped, I really felt like skipping but I was trying to control my ADHD side. "Yo did you do the math homework?"

"Yeah, but it was a pain in my behind."

"Can I copy?"

"Yeah sure, just make sure you change it up a bit."

"No problemo mi amiga." I laughed.

"You're welcome, I'll give it to you once we get to school."

I laughed again and I hopped as we walked to school, sometimes controlling ADHD doesn't work. I think Annabeth might be a demigod too, I know she has dyslexia but I'm not sure about ADHD yet. We both made it to class right before the bell rang, thankfully I don't have another tardy to start off the morning.

As the day went by I was growing more and more anxious to see if I should tell her. I think she noticed because she said, "Are you okay? You've been jumpy and tapping your foot all day."

"What? Yeah," I tried to lie by blowing it off, "I'm fine, I just have a couple of things on my mind that's all."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'll tell you later."

She nodded and returned to her chemistry, she seemed to have a hard time reading it. I sighed, it's not like I can help her read it. "Hey, Annabeth?"

"Do you by chance- have ADHD?"

"Yeah, why? Why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering, I'm surprised that you don't bounce around as much as I do."

"I sort of learned to control it, things happen to make your nerves a bit stiller and calmer under situations."

"What kind?"

"Oh you know, reflexes... or when you're about to get stabbed you know when it's coming and you don't have to panic but simply sidestep, move the arm with the knife and punch the person."

"That was um... oddly specific."

"Sorry, my dark humor is only logical under certain circumstances."

"When you're ready to get stabbed I think I'll understand it."

She laughed, "Maybe Skylar."

"Do you mind if we go on a small road trip this weekend?"

"Oh, I don't know, I was planning on visiting my mother's side of the family."

"Come on it'll be fun. I want to show you this wonderful place, I'm sure you'd love it."
