Ok, thank you guys for the comments on my other one! I will try and make this one better.
As I entered the building with my back pack slung over my shoulder, people turned the other way. I tried to ignore the whispers, but one caught my attention.
"You know she's only allowed here because her mom is the principle. That’s totally unfair. That means she gets to do whatever she wants to!"
I was about to stop, but I felt myself shrug. It’s true. The only reason I haven't gone to thirty different schools is because my mom is the principle. She has been since I was in 5th grade. The hallway stretched on, it seemed, for eternity. When I finally opened my locker door, thousands of bouncy balls fell out and rolled across the floor. Giggles echoed off the wall behind me and I frowned. These little pranks where people put totally random (and by random, I mean literally random. Like little toy soilders or a bunch a giant metal keys, or mini dinosaur skeletons from the science lab.) Anyways, those objects in my locker are really getting old. It’s come to the point where I just take two steps back and have to reach for my locker, only to avoid getting hit by annoying objects. I turned and spotted Kayla leaning against the wall, covering her mouth. I narrowed my eyes."Kayla, you’re hilarious." She just waved and smiled.God, the girl is so annoying. She’s hated me since 3rd grade. We used to be bestfriends, until she found out how strange and un-natural I am.Oh well. I don't need friends. But I really do miss having someone to talk to other than my mom. I shook the feeling of loneliness and started to kick the balls away so I could get to my locker. But I heard something. Something like an angry dog. One of the girls screamed and I froze up.No, no, no.Dear God, please no. But I heard the growl again and had no choice but to turn around. The same black dog from last night was standing in the hallway, tensed for attack.No.It can't be. Please be a dream. But it wasn’t, not like last nights. The ring! I reached for and twisted it. Just like the dream, it transformed into a bow with the arrows strapped to my back. I pulled back an arrow, but I was to slow and the dog pounced. Its body was massive and I rolled to the side to avoid being crushed, but again I was to slow and it landed on my left side of my body with a loud thud. Its nails scraped across my ribs and I yelled out in pain. I couldn't reach my bow, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to use it with the thing on me. I was pretty much dead.Unexpectidly, the dog yelped then dissolved into a shadow. I was confused and the pain coming from my side was unbearable. A boy leaned over me, but my vision became fuzzy quickly, and then black.

"Abbeline....Abbeline.C’Mon, you’ve be totally out of it for the past four days, wake up!"
I made some sort of noise and rolled over. By rolling over, I was congratulated with a sharp pain running up my side. I gasped and sat up. A girl with long brown hair stared at me."Finally! Took you forever." I raised an eyebrow, but it dropped after I realized that I wasn't in a hospital...or at home...or any where else I recognized."Where-"
"Camp Half-Blood."
"O-kay.What-"
"You were attacked by a hellhound, and I'm surprised you survived."
I decided to give up, clasp my hands together and stare at the girl. She stared back."Well, say something!" She yelped. I shook my head and pointed at her. She bit her lip and said, “Stay here. I think I should go get Annabeth." I didn't even get a word out before she was gone. My eyes drifted around the room before it landed on a surfer looking guy in the corner. He looked just like a Californiain, blond hair, blue eyes, and tan skin. Except for the whole fact that he has hundreds of eyes covering his body. My ADHD broke out and I thought for a second if he had an eye in his armpit. I quickly shook the thought when a girl with her blond hair pulled back into a ponytail and stormy gray eyes walked in. I decided that I wouldn't want to get in a fight with her."Hi.I'm Annabeth." I nodded and said, “I’m Abbeline."
"Yeah I know.Listen, we usually give tours, but you are badly hurt so-"
"No, no.I’ll go. It’s okay. I want to see where I'm at."
"I wouldn't-" But I already was. I stumbled forward a step, but caught myself. I will get through this. I have to know where I am. Even if it means a knife-like stab in my side every step."Well, first of all, I want to know what I am. I mean, Camp Half-Blood? Doesn't sound like a nice, fun camp to me." Annabeth opened her mouth then closed it, a serious look making its way across her face."You're a demigod. Half god, half human."
Tell me what you think.
