Rayah

I nod, "Come at around one, okay?" I ask, grabbing my stuff and running off, barefoot and shoes in hand.

Oh my god she's gonna kill me...

Jace

I nod and watch her bolt off, gathering the towels and blankets before heading home.

Rayah

I get to the main court, where I was suppost to be, and run through the doors, the twelve main gods sitting at their thrones. My parents narrow their eyes at me and I swallow, sitting down where all the other demigods were. Or most of them were, everyone staring at me, "Sorry I'm late," I finally say, embarassed.

Jace

I open the door and drop everything at what I see.

"What the f*ck did you do?!" I scream, balling my fists in my hair.

A tornado could have passed through my place and done less damage.

I find Alyx on the floor, holding a maroon colored side.

"Um...there were people," he says, swallowing, "Things weren't so nice. Nic's here though....somewhere. I think he locked himself in the bathroom after a crazy lady with a viking hat came after him."

"Nic!" I slam my door shut and storm to the main bathroom.

"Go away! I did nothing! It was all Mr. Screw Up out there!" he calls from the other side, "By the way...he's bleeding. But leave me alone!"

Rayah

Zeus sat in the middle throne, staring at us, "We have gathered you here today because we have some good news," He starts, grinning.

I wait for him to keep talking, nervous.

"No more war. We won!" He finally says and we all start cheering. I smile wide and my parents nod at me.

"The caramony for you demigods to graduate highschool early, and the celebration for no more war, is tommarow, wear something nice. It's at the school," He nods, "Dissmissed."

I stand and run to Jace's house, opening the door. It was...ugh. "JACE!" I call, happyness filling my voice.

Jace

I storm back to Alyx and yank his hand away from the wound, shaking my head. I grab one of my shirts - Wait...what the hell? How did that get out here from my room? Oh sh*t...My room! Pressing it on the wound, I bolt into my room and swear a kajillion times more.

"Holy f*cking sh*t! I'm going to kill you, Alyx! What the hell were you doing in my room?!"

"Um...things," he replies, "I saved your notebook though. They kind of trashed everything else."

"Jace!" Rayah calls.

Rayah?

I close my eyes and take a deep breath, not wanting to be so pissed when I see her.

"You're effing fixing everything, Alyx! Everything!"

I walk out of my room and find Rayah by the door, smiling wide despite the scene.

"What?" I ask, trying my best not to sound so angry and to sound as happy to see her as I am, "What happened?"

Rayah

"I-It's over!" I laugh, "T-The war is over! I don't have to fight anymore! We graduate early!" I can't stop smiling, jumping into his arms and hugging him tight.

Jace

She leaps into my arms and hugs me tightly, causing me to fall back and take her with me. I flash a smile and hug her back, on the floor.

"That's great," I say, "If we graduate early...wait, why are we graduating early?"

Rayah

I smile, "'Cause of the war. We know everything. It's mostly about the training. We don't need to anymore!" I laughed, still hugging him.

Jace

I nod slowly. I never understood that war anyway.

"S'great," I flash another smile, glaring at Alyx.

Rayah

I nod, glancing around, and sit back, eyes wide, "What the f*ck happened?!"

Jace

I point to Alyx, "He happened. And Nic... Other than that, I have no freaking clue."

Rayah

I try to calm down, "The ceremony is tommarow," I turn back to Jace, "Wear something nice," I tell him, standing and glaring at Alyx.

Jace

"If I can find a pair of clothes that isn't torn or screwed up, sure," I mutter, standing as well.

Rayah

I nod, looking back at him, "I need you to help me pick out a dress."
