Soggy School Day

A Twisting Tail

Chapter 6

Soggy School Day

“Monday,"Jason groaned,rolling out of bed.Already he knew his sister,Thalia,was up.She always was.

Sure enough,she yelled down the hall,“Hurry up or I leave without you!"

Jason had just run down the stairs when Thalia opened the door,her car keys already in hand.

Thalia was three years older than Jason,but she treated him as if he were five.And they looked absoloutely nothing alike.Jason's hair was blond,while Thalia's was black as night.She was not exactly tall,but she wasn't short,either.Her jeans were torn.Her shirt had a skull on the back.She didn't wear jewlery,except for earrings,occasionally.The only similarity between them was their eyes,which were electric blue.

He began to protest,“I haven't even had breakfast yet!"

“You should have gotten up earlier,Jason."Thalia said with a snort.

Jason muttered something about evil sisters and went to get in the car.

Hazel hated Monday mornings.No,she detested them.As she ran down the stairs,all she could think about was her geometry homework.Her phone vibrated in her pocket.Flipping it open,she could see it was a message from Annabeth. Annabeth: Monday = school,school = lots of water.The plan? Hazel stopped.She hadn't even considered that.And if anyone ever discovered her tail - what?Would they experiment on her?Put her in an aquarium?She didn't even want to think about it.

With a sigh,she replied: Hazel: Uh...working on it.Ask Piper. Annabeth: k. Honestly,trying to keep their secret while living on a beach was sort of cruel irony.

To be continued.
