I sighed. Westover Hall was having another dance, which means another chance for everyone to completely ignore me. I walked to my room to change out of my itchy uniform. I put on a pair of jeans, a nice t-shirt, and my favorite green hat that was getting kind of flimsy from overuse. “Why do I even have to go to some stupid dance? Everyone knows that I’m just going to sit in the corner the whole time.” I said to myself. I opened the door and Nico fell it.
“Uhhh… Hi?” He said, “Please don’t hurt me,” he said weakly as I towered over him.
“No no, I’ll wait till the dance, at least that way there’ll be witnesses if I try to kill you,” I gritted my teeth. I was stuck in some lame school with my little brother form my only friend. I began to walk to the gym. The hallways always creped me out there where rifles and battle axes and a ton over other stuff in display cases. It seemed a little overkill… literally. The gym isn’t very hard to find, it’s the building with GYM written on the door. Even a Dyslexic ADD person -like me- could figure it out. Nico and I sat down at the bleachers and watched everyone else have fun. Nico shuffled his Mythomagic cards nervously. I smiled wickedly, “HOW DARE YOU EAVES DROP ON ME!!!” that was a good start.
“Sorry, Bianca,” He said
I continued scolding him, constantly reaching out to strangle him but thinking better of if and some how make it look like I was just talking with my hands. Dr. Thorn came and stood by use, like he usually does. I looked around there were red and black balloons everywhere, and of course, everyone was acting like an idiot. (lol If you read pg 9 in Titan’s Cures I made it so everything fits in perfectly.) Then went back to yelling at Nico -who is constantly bothering me- then looked around again.
A couple of older kids stood in the door way. One of them was looking at me. I blushed. He was cute, maybe about two or three years older than me. He began walking towards me but one of the girls stopped him. I sighed and adjusted my cap to hide my face. They talked of a bit and two of them walked off. The other girl took off her ski cap and her long, blond hair tumbled out. The remaining two talked until something else caught their attention. The blond and the cute guy I had seen before began to dance. I turned green with envy. I was just about to get up and talk to them when Dr. Thorn grabbed Nico and me (yes that is correct grammar.) My hat fell off and Nico dropped some of his cards. Thorn held up by the scruffs of our necks, forcing us out the door. I screamed as the door closed behind us. I struggled but Thorn just pulled me closer to him.
