"Hi."

"Hi."

"'I'm Ethan."

"I'm Lacy."

"Nice to meet you."

"Same. How old are you?"

"'I'm twelve."

"I'm ten."

"Cool."

"Cool."

"You're pretty."

"Thanks."

"Who's your parent?"

"Aphrodite. Who's yours?"

"Nemesis."

"That's cool. I hate my mom."

"Why?"

"Everybody expects me to be a dumb blonde."

"But you're not."

"No."

"I hate my mom, too."

"Why?"

"She's not important."

"I wish she was my mom."

"No, you don't."

"I want to be something besides pretty."

"I want to be something besides evil."

"Justice isn't evil."

"To most people it is."

"Being a half-blood sucks."

"Yeah. I want to be normal."
