The Demigod Adventures


 * A NEW BEGINNING

Chapter 1 ~
My life was going along just fine, I have parents who love and care for me and I have friends that I trust and count on.

On my first day of Senior High at St. Joseph's Academy, SJA for short.I was greeted by my friend Erra who is also on the same class and section as me.

"Hi Pao!", walking towards me was Erra, a girl who is about my height and has long black hair. She lives near our house and she goes to the same school as me.

"Oh Hi Erra! Long time No see," I told her,"What have you been doing this summer?"

"The usual.Babysit my sisters, Going to the province, the same kind of stuff. How about you?", she asked.

"Actually, I didn't spend my time having fun. I had to take those stupid summer classes cause some of our teachers failed me.", I confessed.

"Oooh.That must've sucked?", she said before giving me one of her symphathetic looks.

"Of course not! I made friends with other summer class students." I said.

"Are there hotties?", the question got into me that made my eyes wide opened.

"What the hell was that question?" I said to her, but still I couldnt believe her.I thought she'll ask if the teachers are strict or scary or she'll say at least we can hang out again.

"Whoa.Don't get angry at me, I was just kidding ya' know," she said, trying to calm me down.

"Good...Cause Im just messing with you!!" I announced, laughing my butt off."You should've seen your face when you said 'Don't get angry at me, I was just kidding ya' know.'Hahaha!"

While laughing, I saw her starting to crack her knuckles about to give me a knuckle sandwich and trust me I like sandwiches but this one Im not loving.

"Hey!" we heard from the distance.Standing at the gate was Karina Shannen Biaga, many people call her by her last name but perfer to be called in her first name.

"What are you two doing?" she asked us.

"About to give Paolo a piece of my mind.", she told Karina.

"No! No! I promise I wont do it again, pleeeaaase?" I promised her. But still she punched me.

"Why'd you do that for?" I asked her, confused why she still punched me.

"Nothing.I just wanted to get even with you!"

"Anyway, I saw that we are in the same class in the bulletin board.Aren't you thrilled?" Karina interrupted us.

"You bet!" Erra and I said at the same time.

Not far from where we are standing, we heard the bell indicating that its time to go to our classroom.

"There's the bell.We should get going soon or else our chairs will be occupied." Karina told us.

I hope this school year will be a lot better than the previous one, I told myself. And also I hope that we dont have a strict teacher who has favoritisms and does not make my miserable.

As we reached the top of the stairs, we hurriedly went to our classroom and settled ourselves in a chair next to each other.

"At last.I thought we wont be sitting with next to one another," I told them.

I remembered, back when I was a newbie here at this school, I came late and get scolded by my adviser but that isn't the worst part.The worst part is that I have to sit next to the bully, or so I call him Bull-E cause his grades are always E. As I was saying, my adviser seated me next to Bull-E and as soon as the teacher turned her back on us, he began to punch me and annoy me.

While talking to each other, a man in his early 40's went inside our classroom wearing a purple suit and sitting in a wheelchair.He also has brown hair that has some gray streaks and he has a beard that is about below his chin.

"Everybody, Im Mr. Brunner and Im your new adviser for this school year," he introduced himself to us.

I got a feeling that he is not like the other teachers here. Apart from him being paralyzed to the knee below and being nice, I felt that he is not really here to teach.But before the thought went into my head, I just shrugged it off so that I won't accuse him of being something I thought.

A little while after he introduced himself to us, Mr. Brunner asked us to introduce ourselves to him.

After all are done.I stood up from my seat and walked in front of the classroom to Mr. Brunner.

"I'm Juan Paolo M. Brandes, 15 years old, I live at Dona Paz Subdivision," I began. After he asked me some questions about myself, he finally asked me to go back to my seat.

"He's so nice right?" I whispered to Erra and Karina.

They both nodded and told me to keep quiet or else we might get detention on our first day of classes.

After our class ended.The bell rang indicating us that its time for recess.We came down and went to the cafeteria
