Harry Potter meets Percy Jackson

Silena Beck Jackson

I'm so tired, I don't know if I can eat properly, mom lost her blueprints yesterday, and she and dad were arguing, they stopped arguing and talking. It wasn't very quiet either, to be honest.

I had to get up early the next morning because my alarm clock substituted as a mom. I knew I was early, so I just finished my homework. There wasn't much, just some short stories for English, pages 23-45 for maths, 56-83 for science, like 4 worksheets for french, bandaging the leg for health, and coding for computers.

I finished it in like half an hour. I looked at the clock, crap, I thought I was really late, I quickly put on some jeans and a white t-shirt, some combat boots, and threw my waist-length hair into a ponytail. I didn't have to do anything about my sea-green eyes so I decided to just put some mascara. I rushed outside, and my family was waiting.

"quickly", Dad said, "I'm hungry"

I just smiled, Dad was always hungry, I quickly took my breakfast and started eating, but mom and dad started arguing again, I didn't hear the argument completely because I had fallen asleep. Seriously, you try staying awake till two and then waking up at five by a screeching alarm clock. 

Next thing I know, mom is waking me up, she told me to go back to my room and sleep, since I looked really tired. I had to agree.

I went to my room, and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, I just took off my boots, since I didn't want my bed to be dirty.

When I woke up, the first thing I realized was that my hair was a mess, so I quickly tied it into a ponytail again, and went outside, I could hear chatting, like Mom and Dad were talking to someone, I went outside, stretching and realized that it was the family from yesterday.

"Hi" I said, I was surprised, but at least I wasn't sleeping anymore so I could think.

They said Hi back and added that Lily, the girl, and her brothers Albus and James were in Zoe's room, so I said I would join them and waved goodbye. I entered Zoe's room, and frankly, it was a mess. Her beanbag was moved to the center of the room, and some books were around it, Zoe was playing something with Lily on the bed. The boys were also playing something on the floor, with cards lying everywhere. I think Zoe was playing something like te party or sparring with Lily before their intense chat, because there were some swords (plastic, obviously mom and dad never let us touch the real ones) on the floor and some cups. I glanced at the window and realized that the curtains were opened, and there were sketchpen marks on them.

"Was the fifty-third hunger games hosted here?" I asked.

"Nope" said Zoe.

Then I noticed Luke, he was playing with one of the plastic daggers, and even though it wasn't very sharp, he could hurt himself. I quickly grabbed it out of his hand.

"No daggers Luke" I told him.

That got the attention of everyone in the room. They apparently didn't notice Luke almost cutting himself.
