Description
Melissa awoke on Saturday, the day following the last day of school. The last week of school had been relatively quiet and boring, as all the students had built up anticipation for the event by the name of School of Statues. Where all willing students would be transformed into living statues of stone for a length of their choice. Melissa was participating in the event and she could bot contain her excitement. The students were allowed to arrive at 9 am. It was currently 8 am. Melissa had much to do. She got out of bed and prepared for the day ahead. She first took a shower, then did her hair up in a lovely braided style. Then she put on her clothes, a nice summer dress. She put on a pair of white tennis shoes, even though she knew she would have to take them off for the transformation. Then she went to the living room. It was 8:45 and her mom was ready to take her over. They got in her Mom’s car and headed towards the school.

Athena: So, you excited?

Melissa: Very, although I worry 1 month might be a but long and boring, but I guess we will find out.

Athena: Know what pose your gonna take?

Melissa: A cute pose, I wanna be a cute statue.

Athena: What about your friends, how long are they gonna be statues?

Melissa: All of them choose the length pf the summer. If you ask me, that’s quite a long time.

Athena: Well to you it may be. Have I ever told you the story of when I was a statue for 2 years?

Melissa: No, you were a statue for 2 years?

Athena: Yeah, It happened many years ago, vefore you were born. I was just starting my company, and I accidentally cast a spell turning me and everyone epse in the room, which happened to be about 5 others into living stone statues for 2 years. Thank goodness the spell only lasted 2 years. But it felt like an eternity so now when I am a statue for days it feels like nothing and for me a month would feel very short too.

Melissa: Wow that’s awful. Although being a statue for 2 years would be fun for me. Maybe, I dont know though. The longest Ive ever done is 2 weeks.

Athena: Well thats the risk sometimes of this beautiful thing called petrification. When using different objects you never know what will happen and there is always the chance it is permanent.

Melissa: Yeah I guess your right.

They sat in the car for a other couple minutes before arriving at the school. They walked up to the front entrance and were greeted by a person, they were a worker for Statue Supply Co.

Worker: Hello, you are here for the transformation?

Melissa : Yes

Worker: Please head down the hall to the table where Mary can help you sign in.

Athena and Melissa went to the table and met with Mary

Mary: Hi, whats your name sweetheart

Melissa: Melissa Andromeda

Mary: Ok…. Op there you are. So 1 month transformation?

Melissa: Yes

Mary: Ok, Mom, are you ready to have your kid be a statue?

Athena: Yes

Mary: Ok I am going to have you Melissa go with Shelby here and she will assist you with the transformation.

Athena: Am I allowed to come?

Mary: Unfortunately not, we had a parent who decided to transform with their child so now we have a statue of a parent. We cant have this happening again, so we are very sorry but the answer is no.

Athena: Ok, well Melissa have fun then. Ill come visit you ever couple days. And in 1 month be back to pick you up.

Melissa: Ok bye Mom!

The two hugged before Melissa went off with Shelby.

Mary: If I could just have you wait Athena, we like to have the parents wait to confirm that there kid has been petrified before they leave.

Athena: Of course

Meanwhile Melissa and Shelby walked through the halls of tue school looking for Melissa’s pedestal. Melissa looked at the many statues that were already in place. She saw a little kindergartner. She sat criss cross on the pedestal with a cute little smile. Next she saw a couple of second graders. All of whom had taken on scared poses, on purpose, she didn’t know. Then she saw the parent student statue that had been mentioned. She approached it and realized the student was Eleanor Gray, from her third grade class. She appeared to be scared and her hand was reached out holding the hand of her mother. The mother wore a dress, which now was stone. She wore heels and had her hair up in a bun. The mother, who had a blank expression, as if she instantly regretted the decision to become a statue with her daughter.

Shelby: Yeah I don’t know why she did that. And she chose 1 year, and as we stated, once the transformation happens, its over. So, they are gonna have 1 long year. And one year in heels. Her feet are gonna be sore when she unfreezes.

Melissa: Yeah, thats gonna be a pain.

They walked for a few more seconds before coming to a pedestal.

Shelby: Alright here it is Melissa. This is your pedestal and home for the next month. Ready?

Melissa: Yep

Shelby: Ok then, please remove your shoes and socks. We will leave those by the pedestal.

Melissa removed her socks and shoes, revealing her beautiful cream colored feet tipped off with lovely white with black splat mark nails

Shelby: Oh my goodness Melissa, I love your nails!

Melissa: Thank you

Shelby: Ok, bow your gonna step on the pedestal, within seconds the transformation will start, so strike your pose and hold still. Go ahead and step on when your ready.

Melissa was ready. She placed one foot on the pedestal and then a second. It was freezing cold and it made her feet hurt. But seconds later she felt a tingling sensation in her toes and looked down. Her white nails and white skin were now gray stone. She quickly looked up and struck her pose. Hnds on her hips. Smile on her face. Head slightly tilted. She felt her legs, then torso, arms, and eventually her head start to ti gle. She continued to look straight forward. And eventually the tingling stopped. She tried to move her head. She couldn’t. She tried to move her arms. They too were stuck. She was a statue. She could hear and see everything. Shelby waled up and lid a hand on Melissa. Melissa could feel this too.

Shelby: Melissa you look stunning.

Shelby stepped back and looked directly into Melissa’s stone eyes. They were blank. No texture and no form, just smooth gray circles.

Shelby: Well enjoy your experience darling.

Shelby walked away and Melissa was left by herself. Melissa was soaking up every second fo this.

Shelby walked back to the front where she alerted Athena that the transformation went well. Athena thanked the ladies working and turned to peave when she heard someone calling her name.

Voice: Excuse me, Ms Andromeda?

Athena turned around to see a women. She hd seen the women before but could not tell where.

Athena: Hi

Voice: Hello Ms Andromeda, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bea Hill, I am the CEO of Statue Supply Co., the sponsor pf the event.

Athena: Oh my gosh, I knew I recognized you. Hi, Its an honor to meet you.

Bea: Same to you, well I font want to keep you long, but I would like to offer you the opportunity of a lifetime. I hear you are quite keen on petrification and have a wide knowledge of the subject. And I have heard of your bloodline.

Athena: Oh well yes it is true. I al the descendant of Medusa and have taken that to heart, so I have made the subject my profession.

Bea: Incredible, well because of this passion, I would love to offer you a job at Statue Supply Co. I want you to be my Co-Owner of sorts. You will help test, brainstorm, research, and investigate petrification products and other petrification things. Of course I don’t expect you to make the decision immediately, however I would love to have you come to Statue City, home of Statue Supply Co. for a visit sometime.

Athena: Awesome, may I bring my daughter, she loves Petrification as well.

Bea: Of course!

Athena: Oh she will love to hear that!

Bea: Im glad, well Ms Andromeda, enjoy your day, and I look forward to seeing you in about a month’s time.

Athena: Thank you so much, Its been an honor. Have a nice day as well.

The two shook hands before each went their own separate ways. Athena headed home. It was going to be a lonely month, but she looked forward to the visit to Statue City, the opportunity to work for a company like Statue Supply Co., it was a dream come true, and an opportunity she hoped would all work out.
