A/N: I just wanted to try this out(: I hope you like it! If you do I will continue to right it, and tell me what other pairing you want. As long as it doesn't involve Nico, for I already have an idea for our favorite son of Hades(;

ALSO, this is set between The Last Olympian, and The Lost Hero, I guess. I haven't read The Lost Hero...so yeah.


I tapped my fingers to the slow beat of Ironic by Alanis Morissette onto my notebook. Most of you probably don't know who she is, but trust me, it's a great song. But then again, I love almost any song. I'm funny that way, I love all music, not just one genre.

"Its like rain on your wedding day,

Its a free ride when you already paid,

It's the good advise you just didn't take,

and who would've thought it figures?" I softly sang to myself, zoning out from my History project for a moment.

"It's not fair, Aria." my roommate, Samantha, muttered. I looked up at her with a confused expression. "Its not fair that everyone can sing, but me." she finished, her voice muffled by the pillow her face was buried in.

I laughed quietly, and finished the last sentence of my project.

I, currently, go to an all girls boarding school in Maryland. My roommate Sam, she rather you called her that, was in almost all my class with me. We both where here on a music scholarship. I for my voice and writing, while she for her vast knowledge and skill with any instrument. Though she wished she was able to sing.

I came to Maryland's School of fine Arts, or MSA, just last year. And I had made it through my Sophomore year, and, so far, Junior year unscathed. By that I mean, nothing attacked me, tried to kill me, and or eat me. Yeah, I know, crazy right?

I honestly don't know what they are, or why they are trying to hurt me, but I'm glad they stopped. Although, there was this one account just at the beginning of the year, where some huge bull standing on its hind legs tried to ram me into the side of the physics lab. Sam just calmly grabbed my arm and hauled me into the Science center, never once looking back.

"So, Chinese take out?"

"Huh?" I said, snapping out of my flashback.

"Dinner? Chinese?" Sam said, resting on her elbows, her flawless golden hair flowing behind her. Sam was gorgeous, and I mean that in a totally non-lesbian way. I was envious of her. She had perfect golden toned hair, flawless peach skin that almost glowed, and bright blue eyes. She could've made a killing being a model and have all the boys of the Academy across the street wrapped around her finger, but she refused to have part in either of them.

"Uh sure," I said, quickly proof reading the last sentence of my five page history project. I shut my notebook and set in my messenger bag laying beside my bed. I ran my fingers through my hair and stood, Sam following my lead.

"Mmmm," she moaned, "I've been craving some MSG."

I laughed, then paused, "That stuffs really in there?"

She shrugged, "my mom always said so."

I nodded, and shrugged on my hoodie. Sam did that same and put on her brown leather jacket, then wrapped a dark blue scarf around her neck.

We both made small talk as we walked out of the dorm building and headed across campus to the small Chinese restaurant on the other side.

"Its too cold." Sam muttered, pulling her jacket close to her and stuffing her hands in her pockets. Her cheeks had turned red as the harsh winter air bit at them.

"Mmm I like it." I muttered, but pulled my hood farther down, nearly covering my eyes. I cold also feel the air biting at my cheeks.

"Your such a weirdo." Sam laughed, "You keep the air on in the middle of winter."

"It was hot." I simply stated.

"It was not!" Sam exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air, "I had both your comforter and mine wrapped around my body. And I was still shivering."

I smirked, "Can't take the heat stay out the kitchen."

"WHAT HEAT?"

I just laughed and opened the restaurant door for her and myself.

"Table for two?" the small Chinese lady standing at the hostess podium asked.

I turned to Sam, "Yes, please." she answered, then turned to me, "No way in hell am I walking through that again. I need to warm up"

I nodded, and followed the small lady to a booth in far corner of the restaurant.

"Err Shrimp Fried Rice and Diet Coke for me." Sam said, after glancing at the menu. The lady nodded, jotted it down and turned to me.

"Sesame Chicken and a Sweet Tea, please." I answered, smiling up at her and handing her the menu. She smiled back and walked off towards the kitchen.

"So, what do you think of the new Biology teacher?" Sam asked, fiddling with her wrapped silverware.

"What do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow.

"He's pretty damn hot." She gushed, "And you know I'm not into the whole 'forbidden-illegal-Romeo and Juliet-love' shit."

"I didn't know you where into men at all." I smiled. The waitress brought us our drinks and set down two straws for us.

"Did you just call me a lesbian?" Sam glared.

I choked on my drink, "What? No! I'm just saying that your always like 'I hate men' and 'relationships are disgusting'."

She puffed out her bottom lip in thought, "True. But, I never said that I didn't like a little eye candy."

I just shook my head, "he's a teacher anyway, he shouldn't even be under the category of Eye Candy." I shuttered.

"Yeah, well, this dude looks like male model." She said, circling the rim of her glass with her index finger, "And I'm not talking about one of those generic Wal-Mart, clothes advertising models. This dude is legit."

"Good to know." I laughed, "Anyway, what are you planning on doing for your Music History project?"

"The history of all stringed instruments, like the guitar, the loot, etcetera." she answered, "You?"

"Uh, either the history of first song, or something on the Greek god Apollo." I said, playing with sleeves of my hoodie.

Sam smiled to herself, "I've always loved that god."

"Why?"

She gave me look that said I should've known, but she realized that I had no idea what she was talking about. "Cause he's the god of music?" she said in a 'duh' tone.

"Oh." I stated simply. Just then our waitress brought out our food, steam slightly flowing from it.

"Thank you." Sam smiled, ripped out her fork, and stuffed a hunk of shrimp in her mouth, "Thish ish sho good."

I laughed and started eating my Sesame Chicken.


" Want you to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world

Like I'm the only one that you'll ever love

Like I'm the only one who knows your heart

Only girl in the world...

Like I'm-"

"Sam! Turn off your damn alarm clock!" I yelled, it muffled slightly by my pillow.

"Arghhh." she groaned, I heard her bed creak as she shuffled around to get to her alarm clock. Finally her alarm clock quit blaring Only Girl by Rihanna, silence then fell over the room. "I don't wanna go class." Sam whined, her bed made a very loud creak as she plopped back into it.

I groaned in agreement, but sat up, my hair falling into a tangled mess in front of my face. "I have Biology today." I stated simply, trying to get my hair out of my face.

"Mmmm you get to see Mr. Mc Hot Stuff."

I shuttered, "He's a teacher."

"A fine teacher. Like… oh like that Taylor dude from Twilight!" She said, also setting up, but her hair wasn't in a heap, it was just as perfect as it was when she went to bed.

My eyes grew wide, "No way."

She smiled, "Yes way."

"Well, considering that… It's still nasty."

She looked at me like I grew a second head, "You did not just diss Taylor Lautner."

"I believe I did." I smiled, grabbed clothes out my closet, and walked out our dorm to the bathroom.

The bathroom wasn't over crowded, for it was only 6:00 am. I walked to an empty shower stall, greeting everyone back who greeted me.

"Can we pretend that Airplanes

In the night sky are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now, wish right now" I sang to myself, while taking a quick shower.

"I get up earlier just to hear you sing while I get ready." Jenna, a girl in my English class, smiled at me when I stepped out fully clothed.

I smiled back at her, and looked at my appearance in the mirror. I had on my favorite dark blue v-neck, an orange camisole under it, my stone washed holey jeans, and my orange high top converse for shoes. I quickly blow dried my natural dark brown hair, making sure to curl the ends to give it some life. I put on base make-up, a little eyeliner to bring out my dark brown eyes, and mascara.

I then studied my appearance to make sure I was presentable. My brown eyes had brought out golden specks, making them look unique. My bangs lay perfectly over my left eye, and my hair flowed down just below my chest. I looked like I did everyday and I was quite happy with it.

I walked back to my dorm, to find Sam already gone. I grabbed her lotion off of her vanity and layered some on my slightly tanned skin. After I had successfully rubbed the lotion in, I grabbed my messenger bag, and headed for my AP Biology class.


"Soooo, what did you think of Mr. Mc Hot Stuff?" Sam asked, bumping into my shoulder, taking me off guard.

"Well… I've seen hotter." I admitted, "plus, he's a teacher."

"Oh, live a little!" she yelled into the sky, "Your no fun."

"Thanks." I said sarcastically, "I'm going to the library, comin'?" I asked her, heading to the right; towards the library.

"Sure," she shrugged, "I have an off period anyway."

And we headed towards the campus library.


"I wonder if Greek mythology is real, I mean, I wonder if it still exist…" I said, looking at the Greek god Apollo's wikipedia page. I looked across the desk at Sam, she was jotting something down.

Sam looked at me, something in her eyes I couldn't exactly pinpoint, "You never know."

"I think it would be pretty cool." I smiled, "But I don't know about the whole Hades thing… It would really suck to be Persephone."

Sam narrowed her eyes, "Watch what you say."

"Uh, why?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

Her face turned nervous, "uhm… you wouldn't piss off the god of the Underworld right?" she laughed nervously.

I gave her a confused look, but dropped it.

"Oh my gah, there's like five dudes on campus!" Emily, from mine and Sams Music History class, gushed running up behind Sam.

I rolled my eyes, and closed the wikipedia page.

"Are they hot?" Sam smiled, looking back at her.

"Definitely." Emily smiled wide.

"I wonder if they are from the Academy?" Sam asked, looking between me and Emily.

"I don't think so," Emily said, pulling out the chair next to Sam and sitting down, "They look…rougher, ya know? Like they aren't preppy. Besides, the Academy boys know better than to trespass the campus, its against MSA and Academy's rules."

"Oh, well, the more eye candy the better." Sam winked at me. I rolled my eyes. Emily asked what she was talking about, and soon they where gushing about the new Biology teacher.

I grimaced, and looked out the window. But I froze, a chill running down my spine. Outside stood an odd creature-thing, it had a head of a women, and the body of a lion with giant bird wings on its back.

What the hell? I thought.

But the thing that freaked me out the most, was that it was staring directly at me.
