Mortals Meet Demigods

Emma Flannel

I was sitting in my preschool classroom, waiting for everyone to come in.

I'm a preschool teacher.

It was the first day of school, and I was going to meet all the students.

Their names were:
Zoë Jackson
Jasper Grace
Marie Zhang
Samantha Valdez
Andrew Stoll
Andrea Stoll
Silena Rodriguez
Bianca di Angelo-Solace

It was a small class, but they requested it be only them.

I sat at my desk, waiting for the kids to arrive.

It would be about 5 minutes before the first person would most likely come. I picked up a random magazine I had on my desk for some reason and flipped through it. It was nothing too interesting. It had the Kardashians, Taylor Swift's most recent breakup, the usual.

When I set the magazine down, someone walked in. It was a set of parents, with a kid that had blonde hair and sea green eyes.

"I'm Zoë." The girl said shyly.

"I'm Ms. Flannel." I say, smiling. "I hope you're excited for preschool. I'm really excited to teach you."

"I'm super excited!" Zoë says, waving her arms in the air.

"That's awesome!" I say. "Do you want to see your seat?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" she yells, a wide grin on her face.

I take her to her chair, which has her name on a paper stuck to the back.

"Yay!" Zoë exclaims. "It's blue!"

She sits down on the chair and puts her backpack next to her.

"I'm going to go talk to your Mommy and Daddy, okay?" I say to Zoë.

"Okay. You can talk to them." Zoë says.

I walk over to her parents, going through the normal preschool first-day procedures.

"Okay, all I need now is your names and some information to contact you if needed." I say, handing them a paper.

They both write some things on it, and hand it back.

"Thank you." I say. "You're free to go now."

They walk out and I sit down, waiting for the other kids. I look at the names of Zoë's parents, and see that they are Percy and Annabeth Jackson.

After about 3 minutes, another set of parents came in the door. But instead of it being a man and woman, it was a man and a man.

And no, I don't have anything against that.

Standing between them was a girl with black hair and black eyes.

"I'm Bianca." the girl said.

"And I'm her dad, Nico." One of the men said.

"And I'm her other dad, Will." the other man said.

"I'm Mrs. Flannel." I say.

"You're pretty." Bianca said.

"Why thank you!" I say, probably blushing. "You're very pretty."

"Thank you." she says, pulling a piece of her hair.

"Do you want to see your seat?" I ask.

"Yes!" Bianca says.

Before I go to show her the seat, I hear her parents say something to her.

"You better be good, Bia." the dad named Nico said.

"We love you." the dad named Will said.

They both kissed her on the head, and she hugged them.

I guide Bianca over to the table Zoë is at.

"Zo-Zo!" Bianca yells.

"Bi-Bi!" Zoë yells. {A/N: Bi-Bi is like B-B}

They hug each other.

"Mrs. Flannel! Bianca is my cousin!" Zoë says.

"That's awesome!" I say. "Also, Bianca, your seat is right here."

I point to the seat next to Zoë.

"Yay!" she yells, then plops down on the chair.

I quietly laugh, happy that the two already know each other.

I go back to my desk, go over the normal preschool first day stuff with Bianca's dads, then they leave.

Soon enough, each parent comes in with their child.

Jasper's parents are name Jason and Piper Grace.

Marie's parents are named Frank and Hazel Zhang.

Samantha's parents are named Leo and Calypso Valdez.

Andrew's parents are named Travis and Katie Stoll.

Andrea's parents are named Connor and Miranda Stoll.

Silena's parents are named Chris and Clarisse Rodriguez.

Every child is different. But they all seem to have a way they're related.

"Okay, everyone. I want you to come up to the carpet." I say.

Everyone does. I see how they've arranged themselves.

Zoë, Bianca, Jasper and Marie all sit in a group. Silena, Andrew, and Andrea all sit in a group. Samantha sits up front, looking eager to learn.

I wouldn't of guessed this is how she'd act. If you've seen her dad, which I did when she was being dropped off, you would be surprised too.

"Okay, class." I started. "Today, we're going to learn the ABC's and how to spell our names."

"Yay!" Samantha says.

I silently giggle. Seeing excited preschoolers is so cute, funny.

There's a board in our room that I can show video on, so I turn on a funny ABCs video.

Once it finishes the first time, some of the kids look kind of confused, while others don't. I show the video a couple more times. When I show it the fourth time, everyone's able to sing along.

I smile. When I turn off the video, I hear a sigh of sadness from Samantha.

"Now, we're going to trace the letters for our names." I say.

I put out a name thing at everyone's place. I let then trace it, seeing as they said they didn't need any help.

After a while of schooling, it was 1:00, and time for the preschoolers to go home.

Soon enough, parents had started coming.

One of the cutest things was that every time a kid left, they gave me a hug and said 'Thank You, Mrs. Flannel!'

I can't wait for tomorrow.

I THINK THIS CHAPTER IS CUTE OKAY

AND IM SORRY SOLANGELO'S HERE AGAIN, BUT WHAT SHIP SHALL I DO NEXT?

I picked up a random magazine I had on my desk for some reason and flipped through it. It was nothing too interesting. It had the Kardashians, Taylor Swift's most recent breakup, the usual.
