| Es walked into the library, it was oddly cold outside and she couldn't stand it. She sighed and got out a random book and let her mind wander freely. The book was in english and the words were drifting off the pages, swimming around her. She shut the book and closed her eyes. She hated being dyslexic, even more than having ADHD. ADHD was fine with her, she learned to control most of it, but dyslexia...that was different. She had no idea why she even came in the stupid library in the first place, she couldn't focus there. It just mad her mad. She sat down and sighed. Sometimes she wished that she wasn't a demi-god. she shook her head she couldn't change it though. She wanted someone to talk to her. The apollo kids drifted in groups that she had never really been apart of, she was just the quiet kid who was somehow one of Apollo's kids. she put her head down in the table trying to calm her mind. | |

| "Hey there," I said to a girl who appeared to be resting her head on a library table. I sat down at a free chair across from the girl's seat. "Is this seat taken? I'm Sammy by the way." | |

| Es looked up, "Hi, um, I'm Essie or Es." she half smiled at the girl. She sighed, "Do you ever get so mad you feel like you just want to beat someone up?" she smiled, "And it's not beause of ADHD?" she moved the book over to the side. Her mind cleared from the goey fog it was in, "Who's your parent?" she asked suddenly. She tilted her head sligtly with one eyebrow raised. ooc:sorry I asked you to rp with me then got off, my mom asked me to take my little brother to my aunts house. :) | |

| "Well, I've gotten mad before, but I've never thought of it escalating to violence, but that's just me. I was sort of brought up in a extremely non-violent surrounding. I'm a daughter of Hephaestus by the way." I said to Essie "Who's your parent?"
~Oh, it's no problem :) it was totally fine, don't sweat it!~ | |

| Essie looked at Sammy, "My dad's Apollo. I live here, so I guess I live in a violent surrounding." she smiled and laughed slightly. "How long have you been here?" she asked, looking at the girl. She seemed trusting, but she wasn't about to tell her anything, she was just like that. | |

| ~ Is this still open? If not, I'll glady move. (: Melina Riley Johnson Melina was exhausted after returning from the quest. You couldn't really tell, though. She rather enjoyed working, and was glad to return to her normal camp life. Instead of training in the arena, however, she decided to unwind, relax, and pick up a good book.
In the teenager's hands was a book titled "Music Theory." It's not likely for an Athena child to take interest in music, or any art for that matter. Though, since her older sister, Stella Johnson, also a daughter of Athena; died in battle, Melina decided to learn why her sister had taken such an interest and made it her life.
Melina had finished the book just a few minutes ago, but she still questioned a few things. First of all, she didn't know how to play an instrument, and where she was going to learn. Apollo children, she thought, or children of the muse of music. Easy enough, right?
The teenager wasn't exactly a socialable person, but that didn't stop her from trying to be an extrovert. She has been getting better, but it's still a challenge to even ask a simple question at times. Well, it's better to live what you've got.
Sitting at a table, Melina heard the voices of two girls echoing through the room. She looked up, only not to recognize the campers. She might've seen them at tables in the mess hall, but the demigoddess wasn't sure. "Hello," she greeted. | |

| "I've been at camp for two years," I answered just as a girl greeted us. "Hello there," I said to her in my usual friendly tone. "I'm Sammy." I reached my hand out to the girl in the archaic, but still commonly used "shaking-hands" gesture. | |

| Essie looked at the girl, "Hi, I'm Essie." she looked at the girl. she waved her hand kindly. "Who are you?" she asked, still kind. She smiled at the girl. | |

| Melina studied to two girl with her soft, cloudy gray eyes. She shook both of their hands, and aknowledged their prescence with a simple nod of the head. Courtesy will get you far, believe it or not.
"I'm Melina Johnson," she replied with her calm but firm voice, "daughter of Athena. Essie, do you by any chance happen to be an Apollo child?" Being at camp for so long--six years--Melina had been able to understand who's child was who's; that, and because she was simply a child of Athena. She understood well the traits of the gods. Maybe she could finally find a music teacher . . .
"Nice day, isn't it?" she said casually, looking out one of the windows. | |

| Essie looked at her confused, "Um, yeah...but how did you know that?" she asked, Melina was obviously a child of Athena if she could tell who her parent was that easily. Then there was the grey eyes. She shrugged it off. "Why?" she asked casually. | |

| Melina raised the book in her hand and gave it a small, almost motionless shake. The title "Music Theory" was bold enough to see, and the music notes seemed to float around the words. "I've been studying," she said simply.
Surly it wasn't every day an Apollo child saw a daughter of Athena take an interest in music, so she gave Essie a little time to register the thought before speaking again. "I've been wanting to learn how to play an instrument, as you would say . . . My sister did, and really loved it. In fact, art was her life rather than intellect."
The teenager stopped for a moment to catch her breath, closing her eyes. Then, she opened them, forcing herself to not remember anything about Stella. "Would you teach me?"
Not wanting to keep the other girl, Sammy, out of the conversation, Melina said to her after Essie's answer, "It's nice to meet you." | |

| Essie looked at this Athena kid. "You want to learn how to play an instrument?" she shrugged, "Okay...?" she looked at the book with swimming letters. She looked away from it before she got frustrated. "What instrument?" she asked, playing with her necklace. | |

| Melina thought for a moment, reviewing the names of the instruments in her head. She wanted to learn something that would be beneficial to her knowledge, like most Athena children. According to her studies, Melina learned that the piano was a great instrument to learn. Not only was it a complex instrument, but it increased your IQ by three to seven points if you practiced hard enough. That's a pretty big addition if you think about it. Why not?
"Piano," she replied, shrugging her shoulders. For another small moment, Melina looked down at the book in her hands. This was a new field of knowledge she was being introduced to, and wasn't sure whether the journey would be easy or not. The teenager was used to memorizing material and paying attention during class, but with music, you had to do rather than watch.
Melina returned her gaze to Essie. As a way of saying thanks, she gave her her usual bright smile, her lips curved into a perfect grin. "Are you up for it?" | |

| "It's very nice to meet you too." I said to Melina. "And I hope you both excel at learning to play the piano. Well, I guees for Essie, I mean teaching it. I love the sound of the piano. It can sound so beautiful and elegant or upbeat and dance-able. What kind of music are you going to learn how to play?" I asked. | |

| Melina shrugged once more. She never gave it much thought, really, despite her usual thinking process before ever did anything. "I'll probably figure it out as I go along. For now, I'll just stick with the beginner material."
The daughter of Athena was actually quite excited to be starting lessons. It gave her something more to do, and hopefully a long vacation from quests. It's not that she didn't like going on quests, she really did like to please her mother, but even Melina was getting a bit tired of them. She could only handle so much. | |

| "Yeah, that's probably the best idea." I agreed. "Learning an instrument sounds like fun. I'd probably learn how to play one if I wasn't always in the forges. Plus, it takes a lot of skill and determination which, unlike you and Essie, I don't have much of. But I wish you both luck." | |

| Essie looked at the girls. "I can teach you I guess..." she looked at her. She sighed. "That book won't help you much in learning how to play though." she looked at the book. "I'll teach you." she said then, making up her mind. | |
