The Fire Within

I Do it Better Than Harry Potter.

The day started out great! No fire, no people screaming! I wasn't expelled, that is, until I saw a giant snake in the teacher's lounge (what, I wanted a soda, don't judge me!) And it turns out, it didn't like me very much...
maybe I should try peaceful conversation.

"Soooooo, how are you?" I asked it. "Did you hear about the guy who got his entire left side cut off? I think his name was Marco... Oh don't worry, hes all right! Get it! All RIGHT?"

The snake didn't laugh... instead it decided I looked like bacon and lunged at me. I waited until I was just inches away from its huge jaw chock full of poisonous fangs, then I jumped up and over it, kicking it in the face as i did so. "JEEZ, tough crowd..., also, hiw did i just do that?"

As I was getting up, I grabbed a chair and bonked it on the head, then I ran at the speed of sound towards the door and sprinted down the hallway, almost running into my biology teacher, Mr. Bond on my way out the front door. For SOME reason (maybe running out of school) he ran after me, yelling "WAIT FOR MEEEEEEE!" all the while getting chased by Godzilla the snake.

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here. My name is Austin Holmers, funniest, coolest and genuinely most AWESOME guy ever. Im 14 and have changed schools more than 7 times! (no one believed me when I saw the black dog the size of a rhino, or the horse that ate my math teacher...) I'm ADD, ADHD, and just REALLY energetic.
At the moment, I was wearing cargo pants and a black hoodie over a Minecraft shirt. My hair is dirty blonde and I wear glasses, and I've been told I was actually pretty attractive,ok mabye that's being generous, but still! I was orphaned as a baby and left at the old orphanage down the street from an awesome taco joint (mmmmm chimichangas!). Oh yeah... giant snake. Back to the story.

I was running at full speed after Mr. Bond, being chased by the basilisk from Harry Pottter; it was knocking down students left and right, destroying lockers, and overall Bing a party pooper.

Just then, out of nowhere Bond tosses me a sword,(where did THAT come from?) I wait until the last second, roll left of the snake, and smoothly chop off its head, dissolving into dust, a few fangs, and scales. Again, how did i just do that?

I look up and see some students and faculty staring at me, jaws dropped. "I think we'd better go," Mr. Bond tells me. I nod and follow him to his car.

A couple of hours later he stops on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. "Get out of the car and follow me." I do as he says, "Before we get to our destination, there's a few things you need to know," I nod and motion for him to continue "first of all, I'm not actually a teacher, I'm a satyr."
I remember the Greek mythology class I took at one of my old schools and my face paled as he took off his pants, i did NOT need to live with that image.   I didnt have to worry though, because.his legs were FURRY! Not hairy, he had actual fur, and where his feet should be, were two shiny black hooves. "Do you know about the Greek gods and myths?" he asks me. 

"Yeah, I took a class a couple years ago..." 

"Well, they aren't myths, they're real" he says giving me a moment to let it settle, but to be honest that wasn't much of a surprise considering the day I had. "That thing you saw was a Drakon." he explained. 

"Didn't look like a dragon..." I said. 

"Not DRAGON, drakon. Its an ancient monster that terrorized cities, the one you killed was just a baby, and speaking of which, I'll take my sword back, you'll get much better ones at camp." I hand it to him. 

"Wait, what camp?" I ask as we pass through the woods. Around the corner, I see a giant tree with a sign next to it. The sign was in gibberish but I could somehow read it: Camp Half Blood.

I look behind it. "Oh... that camp."
