Where'd the Girls Go?

My Computers Teacher is More of a Monster then I Thought

The first thought I have when I wake up on the morning of the last day of school is *Im finally getting out of this place *. But I'm not really getting out of this place, school just ends. I go to Hampton boarding school for troubled children. I have social anxiety, therefore I'm recognized as "troubled". I got put there after my mom died trying to kill me (I'll save that story for later). I have no idea who my dad is, and the rest my family like my aunts and uncles didn't want me because I was a loner with social anxiety, depression, and some seriously bad luck. So after my mom died I was put in the foster system. Nobody adopted me. But hey, I'm used to people not loving me. I kept on running away from the group homes, and they would put me back in a different one. After my tenth group home the court decided on enrolling me in Hampton Boarding school, and I've been here ever sense.
I rolled over on my wet pillow (yes I drool in my sleep) to check the time. My alarm clock said it was 6:00 which meant I had an hour before I had to be in first hour computers. I got out of bed and got dressed for the day. I choose something that resembles my usual attire, black jeans, a Panic at the Disco T-shirt, black converse, my black leather jacket (It's fake leather, I'm a vegetarian) and the black leather necklace I wear around my neck every day with a piece of dulled glass on it (there's another story for later).
Then I go into my bathroom and see my light coffee colored skin, paired with eyes so dark they look like they're black in the mirror. I brush out my hair and put a little gel in it so it stays all day. Now instead of my hair up in a bun like what I usually sleep in, my curly dark brown hair was tumbling down my shoulders. I brush my teeth, and put some deodorant on (I'm thirteen so of course I'm wearing deodorant). Next I pack my bag with everything I'll need for the day and some extra.Over the years of running away from group homes in a moments notice, I've gotten in the habit of packing whatever bag I'm carrying with all my belongings I needed to survive (plus my drawing pencils, and ukulele).
I grab my bag and head down to my first class, computers with Ms. Grit. Ms. Grit was an interesting teacher to say the least. I have no idea why but it seemed like she was always in a bad mood, and she hated me even though I never talk in class.
I enter the room and take my usual seat in front of computer #31 in the corner where no one can see me. But there's something different about today. Instead of the two seats next to me being empty, the chair to my right was taken. In it sat a pale boy, who looked about a year older than me, and also looked creepily just like me. He had the same color hair as I did, and we had the same color eyes. But it wasn't just the color of our eyes that were the same, both of our eyes had the same broken look, the same longing to fit in.
I ignored the fact that we looked alike and sit down at my computer and start logging into my email, when the boy next to me says
"Hi I'm Nico di Angelo."
And stuck his hand out. I flinch at this, not because he scared me but because I'm not a huge fan of physical contact. Despite this, trying to be polite, I say back
"I'm Maggie Tesfae. Are you new to this school?"
"Yeah, I'm new."
"Why did you join on the last day of school?"
"Life happened. I was officially declared troubled."
"Trust me, if anyone knows about that it's me."
We both turn back to our computers until he says
"Why do you have a piece of glass on your necklace?"
"It's a long story."
I say back and sigh. Nico opens his mouth like he's about to say something else but is interrupted by Ms. Grit yelling
"Maggie, and Nico, I'd like to meet you out in the hall."
Nico and I both get up and grab our bags (I guess we both have that habit) and head down the center isle. With everybody staring at us I feel like I'm going to throw up. I look over at Nico and it looks like he's having the same thought as I am.
We push past the doors and into the hallway where we find Ms. Grit with a smirk on her face. I close the door and she says
"You know I was going to eat you yesterday little demi-god."
Gesturing to me. Then she gestures to Nico and says
"But then I smelled you coming and thought to myself, well why not have a feast."
Then she turned into a monster. She started growing out fiery hair, and donkey legs. I was on red alert and so was Nico. He turned to me and said
"Follow me."
He ran out the doors at the end of the hallway that led to the campus courtyard and I followed. He did a piercing New York taxi cab whistle and a golden pegasus dove right in front of us. Nico got on and I followed his lead. The golden winged horse took off as I heard Ms. Grit screaming behind us something about how she would capture us and eat us alive. Well that wasn't the weirdest thing that's ever happened in my life, but it's on my top five list. Wondering what the heck was going on I yelled at Nico above the whistling of the wind
"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!"
He responded by laughing to himself and saying to me
"You know all those old myths about the Greek gods and heroes?"
I nodded my head.
"While they're not myths, they're real and you're what is called a half-blood. You're half mortal, half Greek god. Considering Chiron told me that you have a mortal mother, your dad is one of the Greek gods."
I just nodded my head again, with a lot of questions to ask.
"You know most half-bloods start freaking out at this point."
He said
"While I'm no the type of person to lose my sanity in a dangerous situation."
"Hm, maybe you're an Ares kid."
The rest of the hour long ride was silent.
When we landed, we were on a hill that had a pine tree that had wrapped around it a sleeping dragon, and a golden cloth that I recognized as the Golden Fleece. Nico jogged up the hill and I followed assuming that was his intent. We got to the top of the hill and a tall, lean blond haired and blue eyed boy came up and hugged and kissed Nico.
"Hey Death Boy, I was starting to get a little worried about you."
Said the blond boy. Nico responded by jokingly saying
"Shut up Solace."
This Solace dude turned toward me asked
"Who's this?"
Nico said
"Will this is Maggie, she's a new camper, and Maggie this is Will Solace, son of Apollo, and my boyfriend."
"So,"
Will said grinning at me
"I guess it's time for Maggie to meet Chiron."
