I think we bit off more than we could chew

chapter 1

Running into the gymnasium just as Mr.Ray called my name, "Mr.Wentz"

He called looking around landing his eyes on me, I smiled lightly walking to stand with the rest of the class, hearing Mr.Ray sigh."I don't want to know why you're late this time Mr.Wentz, but if you're late again I will have to send you to the principal's office, am I clear!" Mr.Ray called to me

I nodded, rolling my it's not my fault I had to go to the bathroom blame god for that. Mr.Ray went on explaining what we are going to be doing for class dodgeball great! We are separated into teams me being last picked like normal. I sighed walking over to the side of the gym with the rest of my team, fixing my hair to be out of my face.

I looked over to the other team to see William smirking at me, I chuckled softly shaking my head refocusing on the game. Mr.Ray looked over at both teams before blowing his whistle starting the game. I ran to grab a ball only to trip over my own feet. I quickly got up as a ball passes by my head.

I looked back seeing the ball rolling away. I turn back to see William smiling at me with Mr.Ray glaring at me. I jogged over grabbing a ball as a ball hit one of my teammates in the balls. Holy shit that almost hit me. I threw my ball as a kid walked in front getting hit in the head. Mr.Ray blew the whistle," Wentz! your outcome over here now!"

I groaned jogging over to Mr.Ray, "I didn't mean to hit them, I just-"I don't want to hear it, Wentz! You're staying after school and cleaning the bleachers" Mr. Ray interrupted me

I sighed, walking over to sit on the floor next to the bleachers. That sucks because gym class is my last class of the day. I watched William throw a ball at a kid smacking them in the face, Mr. Ray blew his whistle making will sit out next to me and him join me after school.

William slide down the wall, sitting on the floor looking at me." nice shot Pete"William chuckled

I chuckled sighing, "I didn't mean to hit them, I just-"

"Doesn't matter what you meant, all that matters is that it happened and it was funny"William laughed

I laughed smiling. I and William sat laughing about the past and how much shit happens to me or just around me. The school day finally ended, we were told to put away the equipment and then I was told to go grab a trash can and some cleaning supplies. I left William to get the bleachers out. jogging out of the gym to grab the supplies, I meet the janitor. he handed me the supplies before leaving.

I jogged back to the gym, I looked around to see no sign of William. I set down the supplies, the broom fell making a slightly loud ding. I turned to pick it back up, "Pete Wentz"I heard Mr.Ray call

"Yeah yeah, I got the supplies from the janitor" I replied setting the broom back up

As I sat the broom up, Mr. Ray groaned as his skin melted off his body slowly like lava, as I turned around he hunched over growling as a scorpion tail came out from his back, as his body changed into the body of a lion with Mr. Ray's face.

I took a step back as my eyes widened taking in the thing that Mr.Ray had became. I didn't have any words the only thing I could say was, "Mr. Ray" I said moving a bit closer to the creature

Mr.Ray roared at me, lowering himself to the ground as I backed up to the wall. Mr.Ray then pounced toward me, I screamed as an arrow hit Mr.Ray in the face knocking him off course of me."That's the half-blood!"I heard a voice call

I turned toward the far right exit of the gym seeing two guys, one of which looked a bit older than me with short dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and has goat legs while the other was probably a few months younger than me, he had short brownish red hair and beautiful blueish-green eyes, holding a bow."Hey man get away from the manticore"The goat legs yelled as Mr.Ray or the manticore roared moving

I ran over to them, tripping on my own feet like a gentleman. The manticore roared turning to face us. I scooted across the floor keeping an eye on the beast. The guy with the bow ran toward the manticore as I closed my eyes not wanting to see anything happen to him. A noise sounds of a scream mixed with a lion's roar. I opened my eyes to see the manticore turn to dust and the guy with a bow on the ground, hissing in pain holding his arm." Patrick!" the goat legs screams running over quickly to help his friend.

I stand up walking over as the guy with the bow or I guess is Patrick lets out a scream as a spike is pulled out of his arm and quickly treated by goat legs."Hey hey, I'm fine Gabe, I can get one of my siblings to help heal me when we're back at camp or go to the medical-"Patrick hissed trying to pull away from goat legs or Gabe

"Yeah yeah, I just want to get the poison out of it at least"answered Gabe or goat legs taking care of the poison.

I didn't have any words, I just stood there as Goat's legs or Gabe wrapped up Patrick's injury. I didn't know what or why the manticore attacks me or what happened to....Oh, Shit William! What happened to him."William!" I called out running around the gym calling for him

"Hey man, this William guy, he wasn't wearing a vest was he?"Goat legs or Gabe asked standing up while helping Patrick to his feet

William did wear vests a bit but not during the class though, "Uh yeah why?"I questioned walking toward them,

Did they know what happened to him, I asked myself walking up to goat legs or Gabe as he pulled out a piece of ripped up fabric, "Well I don't think you're going to be able to find him"Gabe nervously spoke

I looked at the piece of clothing, I didn't recognize it at first then it hit me, "Because he's dead"
