Chapter 1
Look, I never asked to be a Demigod, but here I am. Standing in the middle of a random camp, my best friend standing next to me, sick powers- wait. I should back up, start from the beginning, right? Alright. Here goes. It all started on that day. It was nice out, a sunny day in spring. The bees were out, dancing from flower to flower, the sky was cloudy (though, not Heavily cloudy, nicely cloudy)...I was texting my best friend, Joplin Hellmeister. Joplin is 5'10. I'm roughly 5 '4. I normally wear a black hoodie/Jacket with blue jeans. Today was one of those âusually doesâ days. My Friend, from what she had told me, Was wearing an orange Jacket, Slipknot t-shirt and black jeans. She always wore her Orange Jacket, Because it matched her hair; Orange, Mid-leignth and very pretty looking. (though if i were to have orange hair, i would look terrible.) I liked to wear dark clothing becauseâŠI liked dark colors. I wore My back hoodie, and it matched my hair, which was deep blue. I also had a Pink side shave. Did I mention it was Pink? Bright pink. Hated it, to be frank. Oh, My manners! My name is Sharlet Miller, And i was about to meet something absolutely ugly. As i Chilled in my room, Listening to Sleepwalk by Forest day- good song! You should listen to it- I texted my bestie. âHey, can you call?â I asked, then put down my phone. My brother opened the door. Iâll let you know, My natural hair color isn't Deeper than Navy Blue blue, it's Dirty blonde. He had the same dirty blonde hair, same green eyes (though, mine are green-gray. Mine are cooler.) and we both have ADHD. âGet up. Jason says you need to eat something.â Then he left, leaving my door open. Jason (as in Jason Schwartzwalder. 14 letters. Crazy, huh?) is my Stepfather. Never really got to know my actual father, but I'm guessing he was a jerk. I huffed and got up, Checking my phone before I did. I have two brothers; the one that shared my mom and dad (the one who Rudely stormed into my room!) Is Aidan Miller. My brother that shares only mom is my Brother Michael-Exsaiveir Lenihan. We call him Michael, he doesn't like being called âExsavierâ or âMichael-Exavierâ . Kinda like how I hate it when people call me by my middle name, Holly. I'm not Holly, I'm Sharlet. Big difference guys! Where was i? Oh yeah! Food. Common thing in ADHD, you just forget to eat. âWoah woah woah!â you might be saying âJust FORGET to eat?! That doesn't seem real! How could you just FORGET to eat?â To be honest, I really don't know. So I went into the dining room, to the Pantry, and grabbed some pop tarts (not my favorite, but hey, quickest way!) Then I scramble back to my room and attempt a world record of eating two pop tarts. Then I erase all evidence for two reasons; Jason says i can't eat in my room, and two, Joplin is coming over. We finally managed to convince her parents (long story) that she would be coming over for a Sleepover, where we planned to do lots of things (long list.). Gotta have a semi-clean room for that. I glance over at the fake sword I made. It was Flimsy (BOOM), made of Foam (BOOM) and terribly crafted (BOOM- no wait, i just insulted myself). I then go and pick up my phone, seeing the reply my friend sent; âLeaving now, cant.â Excitement bounced around in me. I petted my cat, Ruby mae (an adorable little Ginger cat) and left my room. I made my way to the other side of the house and walked onto our porch. I only had taken 3 steps when I ducked, a Bee buzzing past me. For such a small thing, Bees were Terrifying (but, i would meet worse things.) I pushed my glasses up my nose, oh yeah, Did I mention I wore glasses? No? Huh, I thought I did. Well, they were cool (in my opinion) though they ruined the whole âim scaryâ vibe you got from my clothes. My glasses and Sickeningly PINK side shave. I could scream it forever. It looks terrible! My mother basicly burned my scalp off by putting two layers of bleach on my sick side shave, then putting a light magenta on it. The result? Almost neon pink. I was lucky that it would wash out. Unlike my deep blue hair color. I also sported some nice white boots. My friendâs car pulled up and she hopped out. The day was good, with good things happening, I should have known that nothing stays good forever. I should have known that eventually, something bad would happen. I waved goodbye to Joplinâs mom and hurried inside. We went to my room to set down her stuff. I went to my mom, Checking that her decision was ok. She had let me go down to the park, which she rarely lets me do if my brothers aren't coming along, or there isn't an older person there with me. âYeah. Go down to the park and play, just be back before it gets dark.â I nodded and walked back to my room. Joplin petted Ruby, who layed on my Papasan chair. âYou ready? To go down to the park, I mean.â I asked, picking up my phone, just in case. âyeah. â I should have stayed home. Or played in my backyard. âIt will be nice. Nothing bad will happen, it's too good of a day for that.â AndâŠof course I had to Jinx myself too. Joplin nodded, agreeing. We left Ruby mae and my room. I grabbed my Bag, which was full of stuff (like bags, snacks, water bottles, some paint brushes, ect.), and Left the house. I walked down the Sidewalk, Joplin following closely behind. We walked down, going to the park.
