Batting Practice

SLAM. I watched the next ball pop out of the machine and I creamed it. Greek Fire, my bat/sword was amazing for monster killing and triples.

Isabel applauded at Roxanne's power and reflexes, watching without a word thus far. "It's been a while," She said aloud, enough for Roxanne to be able to hear her at the least. "Since I've last seen you around." She finished off.

"Yeah." I said without turning around. Best hitter on the team for six years straight got me like this.

"Don't you find it rude to just say one word without giving me a proper greeting?" I asked, sighing after. "I mean... You can just stop batting, it won't kill you to stop."

"I've got a scholarship. I gotta be good." I said pounding another ball into left field.

"That is true, I suppose... But so what, you're dyslexic. You won't be able to do well reading the examples, or other things... What's the point in growing up for all that?" I sighed, leaning against the wall behind. "Which is why I think most of us never do have bright futures involving any languages apart from Greek." I shrugged, I was used to the dyslexia part of a demigod life, it was common. And not so much of a good thing either, it limited your choices even more for a good future.

"A softball scholarship smarts." I said running over to the machine to turn it off and move it to the plate. Then I turned it on again. I ran over to the shortstop position and stood ready. It pitched a ball and I stopped it and whipped it to first base where Jared was waiting with his mit. Jared had always played firstbase.

"How a girl like you had gotten into sport, I'll never know. I devote myself to music, which I find a lot more fun, and a lot less rougher than your sport." She shrugged, continuing to watch Roxanne, though without much interest.

"You wanna play sweetie?" I asked with a smile as Roxanne whipped a ball at my head. I expertly caught it and whipped it back.

"Jared, your such a perv. You have a girlfriend." I said catching the ball he threw at me while stopping the other one with my foot.

Isabel shook her head. "No thanks, sports isn't the best thing for me to do..." She sighed, turning to leave. "I might as well back to my cabin, you two are busy yourselves." She walked forward, leaving the baseball field.

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Thu Aug 12, 2010 6:48 pm

"Bye!" I called.

As Jared wasn't looking I threw the ball at him, "Shut up. Come back Isabel!" I called dodging a ball shot out from the machine.

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:20 pm

Isabel stood dead in her tracks, hearing the shout from Roxanne. She turned around, seeing Roxanne just as she avoided a ball shot from the machine. "And what, watch you some more? Baseball bores me you know . . ." She shouted out, back to Roxanne.

[size=10]"Ok? What do you want to do then?" I asked.[size]

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:36 pm

"Obviously my music..." She replied back to Roxanne. "It's what I love most."

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:39 pm

"Ok. I play the bass. Do you need any help?" I asked.

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:41 pm

Isabel shook her head, "I can handle myself pretty well with the piano... But I can't exactly play it since this camp doesn't have one..." She sighed as she finished, she really had missed her piano back at home. It relaxed her when she stressed, or when anything bothered her. It had been two months since she had played it, the closest thing she had with music was writing it in her composition copy.

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:49 pm

"I'm sorry." I admitted truefully. Not because camp didn't have a piano, I just hated piano music unless it was a ballad and then ended with shreiking vocals and thrashing guitars.

Isabel shrugged. "Not your fault, just blame Dionysus for not being a better director... But who expects him to be." She frowned at the thought, she knew enough about Dionysus in her two months time. "I'll just have to bring something smaller..." She muttered silently to herself.

"How about a harmica?" I asked with a smile.

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Fri Aug 13, 2010 7:19 am

"No harm in trying, I s'pose." She smiled back, she had thought Roxanne was more on the cool side, no smiles, always acting tough... Those kind. But it seems she had been wrong about that.

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Fri Aug 13, 2010 12:48 pm

"Come on, I know where to find Jared's." I laughed running off to the Hades cabin.

Subject: Re: Batting Practice Fri Aug 13, 2010 12:50 pm

Isabel smiled, running off toward the Hades Cabin, closely behind Roxanne.
