"Hellooooo demigods!" Jake said from another walkie-talkie, not leaving any time for Max to answer Sarah's question.
Jake continued to speak in a fake enthusiastic voice, "I have had 2 of you guys asking me what these are for so, I am just going to talk to all of you guys once to save myself the hassle. These are obviously walkie-talkies. You can use them to contact the other demigods, myself or your guide. Your guide was the one who brought you to this room earlier. After this message, please use them to speak to your guides. We will be having a short period of time in the morning, 10 am to be exact, to discuss a few things, then you will do whatever your guide has you scheduled for." Jake's voice disappeared and Sarah sighed.
She picked up the walkie-talkie labeled guide and said "Hello? Terrance?"
Terrance's voice came back to her, "Hello Sarah."
"Hey, so Jake said that we were supposed to talk about something or another." Sarah responded.
"Yes. We will talk about training. Your training will begin at 7am, I expect you to be awake from at least 6:30 so you can be properly awake and prepared for the day. At 7 o'clock sharp, you will meet me back in the circle where we had our meeting today. From there I will take you to the training spot. At 9 o'clock, you may eat breakfast. At 10:00 you will be attending a meeting with only the other demigod trainee's and Jake, I will not be attending and neither will the other's guides. After that, you will go back to your stall to complete your written assignments. This one should be easy, it is more of a pre-test to see how much you already know about Greek-mythology. Then, when you are done, you will buzz me in on your walkie-talkie to receive further instructions." Terrance summed up what her whole day would look like in one breath. Sarah had a hard time understanding it all.
"Uhhh… I'm sorry, what now?" Sarah said. She could hardly remember a thing that Terrance had just said.
"This is why next time when you ask for your schedule, it would be good for you to write it down." Terrance replied, his voice sounding both annoyed and angry.
"With what?" Sarah said. She had only been in her stall for 20 or so minutes, she hadn't gotten a chance to look around too closely yet.
Terrance sighed. "With the pen and notebook that is sitting on our desk, Sarah."
Sarah walked over to her desk and saw a notebook with, of course, a purple cover, and an ink pen with, of course, purple ink. "Ohh…" You could practically see the beads of sweat rolling off Sarah's forehead, "I see it now… Could you maybe… repeat that again?" Sarah said nervously.
Terrance's voice was sort of scary. He always sounded angry and cold. He had a sharp tongue and an inferior attitude. Everything seemed to always annoy him or make him angry.
Once again, Terrance sighed. He repeated everything about her schedule to Sarah, this time even quicker, Sarah's hand moved across the page as she furiously tried to keep up with what he was saying. After he was done retelling her everything, he coldly said; "I expect you to be punctuary, being just one minute behind results in punishment." Then, his voice was cut off.
Sarah said to the walkie-talkie, "Oh! Ok! See you Terrance…" She put down the device and looked at what she had written. Her writing was barely legible. She ripped out the page and began to decipher what she had written, writing it down on the bottom of the page. Then,on the first sheet of paper in her brand new purple notebook, she began to make a numbered list, labeling everything down in order of which she would have to complete. After that, she threw away the scribbled out sheet of paper, turning it into a ball and leaning back in her chair, balancing on the two back legs. She threw the balled up paper like a basketball, when it landed inside she said to herself, "Kobe!"
She set her chair back down on all four of its feet and grabbed the notebook. She opened up the storage packet of her Iris bag and stashed it there. She walked up to her alarm clock and set it for 6:15, leaving her plenty of time to get ready, shower and do her hair. She set her Iris bag next to her alarm so she wouldn't forget it and flopped onto her bed.
She closed her eyes, recounting the crazy day, eventually falling asleep dreaming about powers and mythical beings.
Across the room, in his own stall; Terrance watches as Sarah productively moves around, preparing for the next day without being told to do so, making it her own responsibility to be ready. He nodded his head in satisfaction and wrote something down on a piece of paper and then finally made a check on a box.
-
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Sarah groaned and rolled over. What was that annoying sound?
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Ugh! Why wouldn't it stop?!
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep-
Sarah stomped over to the alarm clock and smashed her hand on the 'stop alarm' button. She grumbled about the alarm clock being too loud and sat back down on the bed, wrapping her shoulder in a blanket, twisting it around her whole body. She felt like the blanket was eating her. Also, it was hot. Very, very hot.
She angrily threw the blanket off of herself and it landed on the other side of the room. She stomped over to the bathroom to go and get ready, grabbing a towel from a basket next to the door on her way. A scowl on her face the whole way.
Needles to say, Sarah was not a morning person.
In another stall across from hers, Alex starred as Sarah raged in her glass-box. He revoked at how scary she looked and made a mental effort to never be the one who woke Sarah up for any reason at all.
