othello chapters 1-5 Nicole Libbey Basically, this is a story about a white princess loving a black solider. The princess' name is Desdemona(im just going to type Des from now on) and her mother is dead, so her father really wants her to get married. Shes had plenty of guys to chose from, but she really wants Othello(the solider...well commander, so like head solider). So, Othello is a great solider and wins a battle(the other guys backed down) so there's a banquet for him. Des tricks her dad(Lord B.) into letting her have his seat so she can sit next to Othello. Meanwhile, Micheal Cassio(who is like Des's best friend is also a close friend of Othello and is a solider with him. And then there's Iago, is also a black solider, and is married to Emily, a "servant" to the kingdom(also black.) So Othello promotes Micheal over Iago when Iago is the better solider. This annoys Iago, so i guess this is whee Iago starts to not like Othello. Then, Othello asks Micheal to help set Othello and Des up. So far I like it. its a love novel which is usually too sappy, but because its like a racial time, its interesting
6-11 of Othello Nicole Othello and Des get married thanks to what Micheal does, but he regrets it. Micheal says hes just friends with Des but he truly does like her for more then that. Iago sees Des and Othello riding a horse and he sees a ring on Des's finger(showing shes married) and then (because he doesn't like Othello), he tells Lord B. Lord B gets really mad because Othello isn't white, so Iago tricks Lord B into telling the King so Othello gets in more punishment(I think thats his reasoning) Then, pretending to be friendly to Othello and Des, he says the king found out.He lies and says that the king found out because someone saw Micheal bringing the Priest home so someone threatened him and asked why the Priest was out and why his was bringing him home and he confessed. In the next chapter, its the King reminiscing about the affair he had with Lord B's wife. But then she died, so it was over.Hes thinking about this because of Des and Othello. Its getting more tension-y. I like it because there's love and hate and jealousy and then Des's best friend loves her.
to start off, in the first chapter we learn that desdemona is in love with othello, the general of an army. lord bertrand thinks that othello is good in an army, but he doens't want his daughter marrying this "black man." therefore he goes to the king, and makes up this whole story that desdemona shouldn't be married to this thing (points to him), the king denied the lord's request of getting the two "unmarried." so now desdemona lost a father and a home, but she gained a husband. michael cassio, desdemona's "best friend/brother" has regreted that he got othello and desdemona together... he loves desdemona but doesn't want to hurt her because she only thinks of him as a brother. michael is on both sides of the story, othello wants him to talk to her about him loving her and desdemona wants him to ask othello is he's in love with her. it's perfect how it works out. <3 perfect love... so far. this book so far is great, i love how michael keeps his feelings away from desdemona, i know if i was in his place that i would want to tell her so much.
iago is starting to look bad. he's now talking to othello about michael cassio "being into" desdemona. but of course, michael wouldn't say anything to anyone about that, ecpeically now that desdemona is married, he wou'dn't wanna separate someone so powerful as othello. now, iago is very jealous of othello, that's why he's pulling all these conversations about michael loving desdemona. hes jealous because emily (iago's wife) looked at othello like she had never looked at iago before. so that got him jealous of othello's power & looks. he wondered why emily could ever love him as much as she loved othello after one day. now, michael doesn't drink, so iago had a plan to get him drunk. he made it as though whiskey was nothing, like a glass of water, he chugged it. no big deal whatsoever. therefore, a guy named richard so called "tried to help michael around because he was drunk," but michael knew that he wasn't. so he told richard to get off of him, and started a brawl. hopefully, this richard guy comes more into play later on in the story. now, since michael got into a brawl with richard, he was removed from his position in the war and then lost othello's respect. In these chapters, you learn a lot more about each of these character's true personalities and responses to other characters. iago is jealous of othello. everyone is jealous of othello. each of these characters have a bigger part in the devlopement of othello's world.
at the end of this book, many people are killed. but before i say who gets killed, here's some more plot. now othello finds out that michael has the hankercheif therefore he wants to get a hold of michael and give him a peice of his mind. well when he heard that he had killed richard that got him ever more mad them before. he was so mad at ddesdemona because he thinks she's part of this whole michael loving her thing, therefore he goes to see desdemona and she's already in bed. he starts talking to her and ends up strangling her with his bear arms and then emily walked in and was mad at herself for ever letting her alone... she knew something bad could happen. therefore iago, lord and the duke all came to the room, and othello admitted that he had killed desdemona. now, he found out that desdemona had NOT cheated and he feels like a fool, therefore he took a sharp sword from underneath the bed, and fell into it. so now, three poeople down (othello, richard, and desdemona) now, next to die is emily because michael started telling the story about the hankercheif being placed by his head "mysteriously one night" therefore emily told otello that iago had took it, and she revelaed all the secrets about iago, therefore he took out a knife from his pocket, and threw it right into emily, that was the next person to die... but iago was the last but he was killed by the soliders, he was hung. good ending.
*my thought: this book was excellenet. julius lester really put a lot of thought into characterisiic traits and how each character responded to different things. i was shocked and happy and the same time how a lot of these characters died. it was a great interpretation of how each of these characters how to deal with the consquences.
a girl named sayrah has been having a hard time in the past months. her dream is snowboarding, and she finally got that dream since her father is a billionare. she has a best friend, age, who loves her for both her money and sometimes her, but sayrah has feelings for age and unfortunley age has a girlfriend named natalia. she has two horrible, evil step brother and sister and her father and mother treat Grace and Wayne (step bro's and sis's) like their their own children, rather than sayrah being treated like the step daughter... she hates it. her mother hates the thought that she daughter is "fat," therefore she buys these really small things for sayrah that are really small and she faints all the time while in these incredibly small gridles. therefore, sayrah just wants to escape and go to the mountains but she got knee surgery from falling down a mountain that was uncorrsed and the troops only found her hours later because her mother needed her for bag carrying... and she knew that she had gone to the uncorsed tracks therefore SHE was the one who "saved" sayrah's life... thanks to her ! but months later, age wants to go snowboarding and she goes, therefore she well, let's just say it doesn't go well (: now, she has to give up snowboarding... she finally made a new friend that likes her for who she is, not her money... so she thinks. her name is lillan ans her hobby is helping little children at the Children's Hospital... they were having a party tonight for every pacient in the Cancer Center. Now, Sayrah loves to draw when she's scared, bored, or feeling great, so when she was put in charge of the cookie center... she felt terrible for those little kids who can't afford payments to get to correct treatments for having cancer.
*my thought: i love sayrah's persoanlity and how she goes out of her way to help others in need like the time at the cancer center, she has a lot of money, and of course, it would make her father look really good if he gave a couple million dollars to the hospital. therefore to help those in needs, this really shows how sincere and loving the Cheng family can be... to others for publicity reasons.
The main girl Phoebe is a cross country runner and a junior in High School. She's dreamed of going to UNC on a running scholarship her whole life. So, she's at a UNC running camp, running the final race (in past history, the winner of this race every year gets a scholarship)and is in the lead by 50 or so yards. She looks at the crowd and sees her two best friends since kindergarten:Nola and Cesca. Also, she sees her mother, who is supposed to be in Greece. She was in Greece for the week for a family Reunion I think, and is home 2 days early. After the race, the coach for UNC tells Phoebe that if she keeps her grades up, she is guaranteed the scholarship that she wants. She talks to her mother ad finds out her mother is getting married to a guy from Greece. As they talk, Damien (Phoebe's soon-to-be-step-dad) comes behind them. Her mother says that the family will be moving to Greece, on a small island called Serfopoula. Phoebe gets mad because her senior year will be spent away from her friends and stuff. Damien can't move to America because he is the principal at the private school on Serfopoula. So, Phoebe and her friends cry and stuff, but promise to e-mail. One good thing about leaving, is getting away from her ex-boyfriend and neighbor Justin. So she gets on a 10-hr flight to Paris, then a connecting flight to Athens, a ride on a metro to the ferry place, then a fast and bumpy-ferry ride to Serifos(near Serfopoula)then a private yacht ride to the island. On the yacth ride, she finds out that she is going to Plato's academy(ancient school) with actual decedents of Greek gods. I like it so far because like its changing her whole life, and she had a problem with her parents (dad left to be pro football player I think and she's mad at her mom), has a new step-dad and step-sister, miles away from her best friends, and is going to go to a magical school.
12-21 of Othello Nicole Okay, Iago hates Othello and wants him to like i don't know exactly, but it's not good. So he sabotages the relationship between him and Desdemona by lying, and changing things with others. First, Iago gets Micheal drunk from Whiskey and he gets in a fight with Richard, then has someone get Othello. O demotes Micheal. Iago tells M that he should get Des to try to change Othello's mind. M tells Des what happened, she says she'll talk to him. Des tells O "don't forget, he was the one who helped us be together." Othello says he'll re-promote him. Then Iago says to Othello "M and Des are still really close...hopefully he's an honest guy...Beware of jealousy." Othello says he doesn't feel good, Des tries to help, takes out handkerchief, they go in their room and the handkerchief falls on the floor where Emily picks it up. Iago takes it, says he'll give it to Othello, but really puts it in M's room, then tells Othello that he heard M dreaming about D and that he had the handkerchief...Othello wants to kill M. O asks for the handkerchief, doesn't have it; he gets madd. Micheal picked up handkerchief as if it was his, his gf sees, puts it in her....front..to see if anyone will get mad, Othello sees it and she tells him she got it from Micheal: O even madder. He asks Emily if they've (M and Des) ever talked in private about stuff; she says no. I think Othello is gonna kill Micheal because of this. He is a general, and he has killed others before. I like this book alot
The rest of Othello...Nicole Libbey (I would have kept it with the other post, but it would have been to long...im not separating it to count as 2 posts.) SO Richard says to Micheal "you tried to kill me before, so you might try again", and they get in a fight. Micheal stabs Richard, and Iago stabs Micheal(says it was Richard) then kills Richard because "he stabbed" Micheal. Then Iago says everything's Richards fault, and Micheal thanks Iago. Meanwhile, Othello tells Des that he is going to kill her, and that it's his only way to get hid love back or something like that. He says it's because she cheated, she swears she didn't, he says well Micheal SHOULD be dead by now too. Then O kisses her then strangles her. Emily sees her dead, then Othello told her that Iago said she was untrue. Then M, Iago, Lord B, and the Duke walk in, and Emily says Des is dead and yells at Iago, and tells the truth. He keeps saying "shut up Emily", but she doesn't, then he kills her. As she's dying, Othello tells her to tell Desdemona that he loves her. Othello finds out Iago arranged everything, then tries to stab his face, but gets his shoulder. Then, O kisses Des again, then kills himself. Iago is to be killed by the gallows, and Lord B says to bury Des and Othello i the same grave, next to his wife. I thought it was a very good book. I wasn't expecting so many deaths though. I thought only Iago, Des, and Othello were going to die. I was surprised that Emily died. I liked it a lot.
oh. my. gods. nicole pgs 28-65 (last o.m.g. entry was pages 1-27) Phoebe has a magical step-sister Stella who is very mean. AT the first dinner as a family, Stella makes Phoebe's dinner come to life, so her powers are grounded for a month. Pheobe has to make a screen school name so she can IM Cesca and Nola, and she doesn't want to use the one she used at Pacific Park, which is usually PheobeRuns. So she chooses LostPheobe, because she doesn't know what to do. Then as soon as she makes the name, she's already e-mailing Cesca and Nola. In the morning, Stella hates Phoebe even more because her alarm clock is going off at 630 Am, So Phoebe can go running. She runs on the beach and keeps running and daydreaming until she is near a boy who she thinks is cute. He asks where she ran from and she says the dock and then finds out she ran 5 miles, and running back that distance will make her late, so the boy gives her a shortcut and she gets to shower and get to school on time. When she gets to school, there's a whole wall full of awards for academics and athletics. She gets her schedule and is off to history, where she makes a friend. She is Nicole and is like a rebel sort or. She had red hair that is spiky and is wearing a lot of jelly bracelets. Nicole changes a few of Phoebe's classes to mach hers, so now they're in all of the same classes, including Physics 2, when Phoebe's supposed to be in Biology. Then, she learns about the cliques at the school. These cliques are different than the ones she's used to because they are made from what each kid is a descendant from. Like the popular boys are Zeus, and the popular girls are Hera(Stella is a Hera). Then they're Hades, which are like Goths/Emos. I like it because Greek Gods and stuff are some of the only things I like about history, and I can sort of relate to running, because I used to do that, and then it's cool that every one is magic besides her. I like how the cliques are too.
Phoebe meets this boy Troy who is Nicole's like best friend. Phoebe thinks he's sort of cute. Everyone knows that Stella is Phoebe's stepsister, and like troy and some other people feel bad for Phoebe. Troy is related to a doctor-god, so he is supposed to be a doctor, but he doesn't want to. Phoebe finds out that this boy Griffin Blake and a girl Adara Spencer are like the "popular couple" but they go on/off every summer. Phoebe thinks Griffin is very hot, even though she hasn't seen his face yet...When she does, she sees that it's the guy from the beach!Nicole says that she should try to have nothing to do with Griffin, and Troy tries to explain why, but Nicole cuts him off. At cross country/track practice, the kids split up into long distance, sprinter, jumpers, hurdlers, and throwers, and both Griffin and Phoebe go to long-distance, while Adara and her friends go to Sprinters. Troy shows up at practice and says good luck (this practice determines who makes the team) Griffin says don't waste your time trying out, then on the race, zaps her shoelaces to tie them together, so she can't run. When the coach asks what happened, she doesn't say it was Griffin. because she likes him. Then she overhears the coaches talking, and the long-distance coach convinces the head coach to let her be on the team, and if she doesn't get top 3 on the next race, she's off. She gets home and does a lot of hard homework. She skips dinner...(plans on sneaking left overs) and gets in a fight with her mom. She checks her e-mail and gets a letter from the coach. Then one from Griffin saying making the team is easy. she deletes it, and another one comes. He says remember I have powers and you can't delete me. then Troy IM's her. They talk about stuff, then they both go to finish homework. Damien tells her that she will get an internet connection in her room, and she will get a laptop from the store on Friday. I like it a lot. I think that something in going to happen between Griffin/Phoebe/Adara and between Nicole/Phoebe because of her and Griffin.

Basically, this is a story about a white princess loving a black solider.

Shes had plenty of guys to chose from, but she really wants Othello(the solider...well commander, so like head solider). So, Othello is a great solider and wins a battle(the other guys backed down) so there's a banquet for him. Des tricks her dad(Lord B.) into letting her have his seat so she can sit next to Othello.

Nicole
Othello and Des get married thanks to what Micheal does, but he regrets it. Micheal says hes just friends with Des but he truly does like her for more then that. Iago sees Des and Othello riding a horse and he sees a ring on Des's finger(showing shes married) and then (because he doesn't like Othello), he tells Lord B. Lord B gets really mad because Othello isn't white, so Iago tricks Lord B into telling the King so Othello gets in more punishment(I think thats his reasoning) Then, pretending to be friendly to Othello and Des, he says the king found out.He lies and says that the king found out because someone saw Micheal bringing the Priest home so someone threatened him and asked why the Priest was out and why his was bringing him home and he confessed. In the next chapter, its the King reminiscing about the affair he had with Lord B's wife. But then she died, so it was over.Hes thinking about this because of Des and Othello.
Its getting more tension-y. I like it because there's love and hate and jealousy and then Des's best friend loves her.
othello; 1-10
morgan falasca.
to start off, in the first chapter we learn that desdemona is in love with othello, the general of an army. lord bertrand thinks that othello is good in an army, but he doens't want his daughter marrying this "black man." therefore he goes to the king, and makes up this whole story that desdemona shouldn't be married to this thing (points to him), the king denied the lord's request of getting the two "unmarried." so now desdemona lost a father and a home, but she gained a husband. michael cassio, desdemona's "best friend/brother" has regreted that he got othello and desdemona together... he loves desdemona but doesn't want to hurt her because she only thinks of him as a brother. michael is on both sides of the story, othello wants him to talk to her about him loving her and desdemona wants him to ask othello is he's in love with her. it's perfect how it works out. <3 perfect love... so far.
this book so far is great, i love how michael keeps his feelings away from desdemona, i know if i was in his place that i would want to tell her so much.
othello.
morgan falasca.
iago is starting to look bad. he's now talking to othello about michael cassio "being into" desdemona. but of course, michael wouldn't say anything to anyone about that, ecpeically now that desdemona is married, he wou'dn't wanna separate someone so powerful as othello. now, iago is very jealous of othello, that's why he's pulling all these conversations about michael loving desdemona. hes jealous because emily (iago's wife) looked at othello like she had never looked at iago before. so that got him jealous of othello's power & looks. he wondered why emily could ever love him as much as she loved othello after one day. now, michael doesn't drink, so iago had a plan to get him drunk. he made it as though whiskey was nothing, like a glass of water, he chugged it. no big deal whatsoever. therefore, a guy named richard so called "tried to help michael around because he was drunk," but michael knew that he wasn't. so he told richard to get off of him, and started a brawl. hopefully, this richard guy comes more into play later on in the story. now, since michael got into a brawl with richard, he was removed from his position in the war and then lost othello's respect.
In these chapters, you learn a lot more about each of these character's true personalities and responses to other characters. iago is jealous of othello. everyone is jealous of othello. each of these characters have a bigger part in the devlopement of othello's world.

at the end of this book, many people are killed. but before i say who gets killed, here's some more plot. now othello finds out that michael has the hankercheif therefore he wants to get a hold of michael and give him a peice of his mind. well when he heard that he had killed richard that got him ever more mad them before. he was so mad at ddesdemona because he thinks she's part of this whole michael loving her thing, therefore he goes to see desdemona and she's already in bed. he starts talking to her and ends up strangling her with his bear arms and then emily walked in and was mad at herself for ever letting her alone... she knew something bad could happen. therefore iago, lord and the duke all came to the room, and othello admitted that he had killed desdemona. now, he found out that desdemona had NOT cheated and he feels like a fool, therefore he took a sharp sword from underneath the bed, and fell into it. so now, three poeople down (othello, richard, and desdemona) now, next to die is emily because michael started telling the story about the hankercheif being placed by his head "mysteriously one night" therefore emily told otello that iago had took it, and she revelaed all the secrets about iago, therefore he took out a knife from his pocket, and threw it right into emily, that was the next person to die... but iago was the last but he was killed by the soliders, he was hung. good ending.
*my thought:
this book was excellenet. julius lester really put a lot of thought into characterisiic traits and how each character responded to different things. i was shocked and happy and the same time how a lot of these characters died. it was a great interpretation of how each of these characters how to deal with the consquences.
girl overboard.

a girl named sayrah has been having a hard time in the past months. her dream is snowboarding, and she finally got that dream since her father is a billionare. she has a best friend, age, who loves her for both her money and sometimes her, but sayrah has feelings for age and unfortunley age has a girlfriend named natalia. she has two horrible, evil step brother and sister and her father and mother treat Grace and Wayne (step bro's and sis's) like their their own children, rather than sayrah being treated like the step daughter... she hates it. her mother hates the thought that she daughter is "fat," therefore she buys these really small things for sayrah that are really small and she faints all the time while in these incredibly small gridles. therefore, sayrah just wants to escape and go to the mountains but she got knee surgery from falling down a mountain that was uncorrsed and the troops only found her hours later because her mother needed her for bag carrying... and she knew that she had gone to the uncorsed tracks therefore SHE was the one who "saved" sayrah's life... thanks to her ! but months later, age wants to go snowboarding and she goes, therefore she well, let's just say it doesn't go well (: now, she has to give up snowboarding... she finally made a new friend that likes her for who she is, not her money... so she thinks. her name is lillan ans her hobby is helping little children at the Children's Hospital... they were having a party tonight for every pacient in the Cancer Center. Now, Sayrah loves to draw when she's scared, bored, or feeling great, so when she was put in charge of the cookie center... she felt terrible for those little kids who can't afford payments to get to correct treatments for having cancer.
*my thought: i love sayrah's persoanlity and how she goes out of her way to help others in need like the time at the cancer center, she has a lot of money, and of course, it would make her father look really good if he gave a couple million dollars to the hospital. therefore to help those in needs, this really shows how sincere and loving the Cheng family can be... to others for publicity reasons.

The main girl Phoebe is a cross country runner and a junior in High School. She's dreamed of going to UNC on a running scholarship her whole life. So, she's at a UNC running camp, running the final race (in past history, the winner of this race every year gets a scholarship)and is in the lead by 50 or so yards. She looks at the crowd and sees her two best friends since kindergarten:Nola and Cesca. Also, she sees her mother, who is supposed to be in Greece. She was in Greece for the week for a family Reunion I think, and is home 2 days early. After the race, the coach for UNC tells Phoebe that if she keeps her grades up, she is guaranteed the scholarship that she wants. She talks to her mother ad finds out her mother is getting married to a guy from Greece. As they talk, Damien (Phoebe's soon-to-be-step-dad) comes behind them. Her mother says that the family will be moving to Greece, on a small island called Serfopoula. Phoebe gets mad because her senior year will be spent away from her friends and stuff. Damien can't move to America because he is the principal at the private school on Serfopoula.
So, Phoebe and her friends cry and stuff, but promise to e-mail. One good thing about leaving, is getting away from her ex-boyfriend and neighbor Justin. So she gets on a 10-hr flight to Paris, then a connecting flight to Athens, a ride on a metro to the ferry place, then a fast and bumpy-ferry ride to Serifos(near Serfopoula)then a private yacht ride to the island. On the yacth ride, she finds out that she is going to Plato's academy(ancient school) with actual decedents of Greek gods.
I like it so far because like its changing her whole life, and she had a problem with her parents (dad left to be pro football player I think and she's mad at her mom), has a new step-dad and step-sister, miles away from her best friends, and is going to go to a magical school.
12-21 of Othello

Okay, Iago hates Othello and wants him to like i don't know exactly, but it's not good. So he sabotages the relationship between him and Desdemona by lying, and changing things with others.
First, Iago gets Micheal drunk from Whiskey and he gets in a fight with Richard, then has someone get Othello. O demotes Micheal. Iago tells M that he should get Des to try to change Othello's mind. M tells Des what happened, she says she'll talk to him. Des tells O "don't forget, he was the one who helped us be together." Othello says he'll re-promote him. Then Iago says to Othello "M and Des are still really close...hopefully he's an honest guy...Beware of jealousy." Othello says he doesn't feel good, Des tries to help, takes out handkerchief, they go in their room and the handkerchief falls on the floor where Emily picks it up. Iago takes it, says he'll give it to Othello, but really puts it in M's room, then tells Othello that he heard M dreaming about D and that he had the handkerchief...Othello wants to kill M. O asks for the handkerchief, doesn't have it; he gets madd. Micheal picked up handkerchief as if it was his, his gf sees, puts it in her....front..to see if anyone will get mad, Othello sees it and she tells him she got it from Micheal: O even madder. He asks Emily if they've (M and Des) ever talked in private about stuff; she says no.
I think Othello is gonna kill Micheal because of this. He is a general, and he has killed others before. I like this book alot
The rest of Othello...Nicole Libbey
(I would have kept it with the other post, but it would have been to long...im not separating it to count as 2 posts.)
SO Richard says to Micheal "you tried to kill me before, so you might try again", and they get in a fight. Micheal stabs Richard, and Iago stabs Micheal(says it was Richard) then kills Richard because "he stabbed" Micheal. Then Iago says everything's Richards fault, and Micheal thanks Iago. Meanwhile, Othello tells Des that he is going to kill her, and that it's his only way to get hid love back or something like that. He says it's because she cheated, she swears she didn't, he says well Micheal SHOULD be dead by now too. Then O kisses her then strangles her. Emily sees her dead, then Othello told her that Iago said she was untrue. Then M, Iago, Lord B, and the Duke walk in, and Emily says Des is dead and yells at Iago, and tells the truth. He keeps saying "shut up Emily", but she doesn't, then he kills her. As she's dying, Othello tells her to tell Desdemona that he loves her. Othello finds out Iago arranged everything, then tries to stab his face, but gets his shoulder. Then, O kisses Des again, then kills himself. Iago is to be killed by the gallows, and Lord B says to bury Des and Othello i the same grave, next to his wife.
I thought it was a very good book. I wasn't expecting so many deaths though. I thought only Iago, Des, and Othello were going to die. I was surprised that Emily died.
I liked it a lot.

pgs 28-65 (last o.m.g. entry was pages 1-27)
Phoebe has a magical step-sister Stella who is very mean. AT the first dinner as a family, Stella makes Phoebe's dinner come to life, so her powers are grounded for a month. Pheobe has to make a screen school name so she can IM Cesca and Nola, and she doesn't want to use the one she used at Pacific Park, which is usually PheobeRuns. So she chooses LostPheobe, because she doesn't know what to do. Then as soon as she makes the name, she's already e-mailing Cesca and Nola. In the morning, Stella hates Phoebe even more because her alarm clock is going off at 630 Am, So Phoebe can go running. She runs on the beach and keeps running and daydreaming until she is near a boy who she thinks is cute. He asks where she ran from and she says the dock and then finds out she ran 5 miles, and running back that distance will make her late, so the boy gives her a shortcut and she gets to shower and get to school on time. When she gets to school, there's a whole wall full of awards for academics and athletics. She gets her schedule and is off to history, where she makes a friend. She is Nicole and is like a rebel sort or. She had red hair that is spiky and is wearing a lot of jelly bracelets. Nicole changes a few of Phoebe's classes to mach hers, so now they're in all of the same classes, including Physics 2, when Phoebe's supposed to be in Biology. Then, she learns about the cliques at the school. These cliques are different than the ones she's used to because they are made from what each kid is a descendant from. Like the popular boys are Zeus, and the popular girls are Hera(Stella is a Hera). Then they're Hades, which are like Goths/Emos.
I like it because Greek Gods and stuff are some of the only things I like about history, and I can sort of relate to running, because I used to do that, and then it's cool that every one is magic besides her. I like how the cliques are too.
oh. my. gods.

Phoebe meets this boy Troy who is Nicole's like best friend. Phoebe thinks he's sort of cute. Everyone knows that Stella is Phoebe's stepsister, and like troy and some other people feel bad for Phoebe. Troy is related to a doctor-god, so he is supposed to be a doctor, but he doesn't want to. Phoebe finds out that this boy Griffin Blake and a girl Adara Spencer are like the "popular couple" but they go on/off every summer. Phoebe thinks Griffin is very hot, even though she hasn't seen his face yet...When she does, she sees that it's the guy from the beach!Nicole says that she should try to have nothing to do with Griffin, and Troy tries to explain why, but Nicole cuts him off.
At cross country/track practice, the kids split up into long distance, sprinter, jumpers, hurdlers, and throwers, and both Griffin and Phoebe go to long-distance, while Adara and her friends go to Sprinters. Troy shows up at practice and says good luck (this practice determines who makes the team) Griffin says don't waste your time trying out, then on the race, zaps her shoelaces to tie them together, so she can't run. When the coach asks what happened, she doesn't say it was Griffin. because she likes him. Then she overhears the coaches talking, and the long-distance coach convinces the head coach to let her be on the team, and if she doesn't get top 3 on the next race, she's off. She gets home and does a lot of hard homework. She skips dinner...(plans on sneaking left overs) and gets in a fight with her mom. She checks her e-mail and gets a letter from the coach. Then one from Griffin saying making the team is easy. she deletes it, and another one comes. He says remember I have powers and you can't delete me. then Troy IM's her. They talk about stuff, then they both go to finish homework. Damien tells her that she will get an internet connection in her room, and she will get a laptop from the store on Friday.
I like it a lot. I think that something in going to happen between Griffin/Phoebe/Adara and between Nicole/Phoebe because of her and Griffin.
