=__Olympian Graduation__ = by Henzon, Janelle History, per.2 5/4/11

It was a good day at Olympus High School because everybody was so happy. The weather was great too. The sun was shining and not a cloud in sight. Even the students were happy. The class representatives were doing their own things. Zeus and Hera still happy they won prom queen and king and of course Hades was trying to ruin everybody’s day. Then Poseidon as hot headed as he is was helping the freshmen get ready for the next year. Plus Demeter and Aphrodite were in their own little world wondering what to wear the next day. Also Athena and Dionysus were arguing why they act how they do. Then there were Hermes and Hephaestus actually working. Last, but not least Apollo and Artemis were keeping to themselves as always. Why would somebody want to ruin this?

All of a sudden screams run through the hallways. At the end of them were Mrs. Nogawa, Mrs. Isakson, and Mrs. Relatores. It seems somebody had locked them in their classrooms. Crowds were forming and the only people not concerned were the class representatives. They were actually laughing, who would have thought they would do this?

Of course the teachers complained to Mrs. Stroud. She was so furious! She didn’t give them detention, she did something far worse. She took away the graduation ceremony from them. As the class representatives they were devastated. What were they going to do? They were the reason people wanted to go to graduation. One by one they pleaded to Mrs. Stroud,” Without us nobody will come to graduation!” She wouldn’t listen. After school they met up at Zeus’ house. The girls said they should try to win over Mrs. Stroud while the guys say they should protest. They argued and argued all night until they all fell asleep.

The next day the girls were all kissing up to Mrs. Stroud. It didn’t work. Then the guys tried their solution. Alas their effort was not enough. Again they met up at Zeus’ house. This time they tried to compromise. Athena said,” We should all write essays why we are sorry and why we should go to graduation.”

Dionysus argued,” NO! That is too much work!” While this was going on everybody left them to argue.

Zeus and Hera said,” We should go to Mrs. Stroud’s office and confront her.”

Artemis and Apollo at the same time said,” Are you sure we won’t make it worse?”

"Don’t worry. It will all work out. Besides who else would she get to give speeches at graduation?” They all agreed. Then everybody left to go get smoothies, leaving Athena and Dionysus alone.

Later that day they caught up Athena and Dionysus on the plan. Early in the morning they waited in front of Mrs. Stroud’s office until she arrived. When she did they all crowded into her office. The girls spoke first,” We are terribly sorry. We weren’t thinking straight. Please forgive us."

Next were the guys. They said,” We are also sorry, but we really want to go to graduation. Anyways without us nobody will come.” She finally broke down. She said,” Fine, you can come, but don’t do anything like that again! Anyways that was really funny! Did you see Mrs. Nogawa’s face? She was so red!” They didn’t understand, but went along with it anyway.

The weeks passed and lead up to graduation. Of course the class representatives attended. They each had great presentations. Some were funny, inspirational, and some heartwarming. In the end they graduated with the best memories ever.
