A couple of months ago, the world found out that the Olympian gods still existed and hung around 'mortals' or in other words, people like me. My mother and father were against the idea that some mythological creatures debated on our lives. We should get to control our own destinies, not some crazy, old lunatics! At school, I pretended to be a shy, drama nerd when really, my life ambition was to become a Monster Hunter where we hunt down greek monsters and the worst of all- Demigods.

She grinned again, "Percy Jackson and I are lab partners, we're meeting up after school. You wanna come?"

I grinned as well, "um, yes!"

"Mel'?"

I snapped out of my daydream. "Yes, Percy?" 

"Should we get to studying now?"

"Oh," I stuttered, my cheeks were turning red from my vulgar (yet pleasing) thoughts, "yes, I suppose we should. Let's get Claire and go upstairs."
