Edward was just strolling the halls of his school. BRRRING! A mad swarm of kids rushed from the classrooms cheering "SCHOOL'S OUT!" Edward walked leisurely past the lockers. Couple of kids high fived him. "Hey, Eddie! Nice year this has been, man. See you at the pool party next week!" Edward turn swiftly around to see it was only his best friend Kyle. Edward nodded and yet made no sounds. Kyle broke out in a grin and nodded back. Edward passed by some more kids and they all complemented him. Edward had reached the top of popularity in his school as an eighth grader, graduating. He also had great friends and even a girlfriend. Edward's life was great.

"Hey! I'd knew you would wait for me!" Edward stood still and remained motionless. "Umm... Edward? Is there something wrong?"Edward felt a gentle poke in his ribs. He could feel her sweating, pondering what she should do. "Hey, Ed--" "AHHHHHHHHH!" Edward screamed. She shrieked and hit him hard on the shoulder."You are so mean, Edward," she replied. Edward snickered at her then kissed her cheek.

Haley, his girlfriend was the girl of his dreams. She had tan colored skin due to the fact it was summer, light blue eyes. Her eyes were decorated with golden flecks that would seem to shimmer when she was happy. Her brown hair flowed to her elbows. Her hair was wavy like she had just washed her hair yet never wet at all. She was all he thought about nowadays. "See, I won your little bet against me. I did not talk for the whole school day. I had to sacrifice not talking to Kyle!" Edward said with a gleam in his eyes. Haley giggled and replied, "Alright I admit it. You are not such a chatterbox after all"Edward took her hand and began to swing it with his own. They began strolling on the streets of New York City, the Big Apple. They were now in Times Square. Haley looked all around her and marveled at all the landscapes. "You look like you've never seen a skyscraper," Edward said with a smile. Haley blushed and began to look away. "I just can't get over the fact that these buildings are so tall!" Haley said with much amaze.

"Hey, look at that guy in the hoodie," Edward said.

"Yeah, what about him?"

"Doesn't it seem strange to be wearing a blue hoodie in the middle of the summer?"

" Let's walk away then if you don't like him."

"No, I feel something from him."

"What do you feel, how awesome he is or something?" Haley joked nervously.

"No, not awesomeness. The awesomeness is just me. It seems more like... power or something."

Haley looked very uncomfortable. She began to look away. Edward looked at her quizzically. He began to walk over the man. Haley began to speak but Edward gave her a harsh shhh. The man looked up, only to reveal a boy with eyes much like Haley's own and black hair. He also seemed to have most of Haley's features like the wet hair and had the same twinkle in their eye. Edward stepped back instinctively.

"Hey, what's up?" the boy said, trying to engage into a conversation. Haley sighed and looked away. "Oh. Nothing, I guess. I'm Edward. What's your name? The boy didn't hesitate to answer him. "Percy. Percy Jackson," "I see, Percy. Now that we know each other, may I ask you a question? How come you and my friend over there look the same except for the hair and gender? Percy sighed too and faced Edward. "Bring her over here," Edward told Haley to go over to Percy and stand next to him. Haley seemed a little flustered when Edward seemed so commanding. Haley muttered something under her breath and Percy did too.

"Explain. Now." Edward said sternly.

"Percy sighed, "Okay, you know the Greek gods, right? You probably had to study them in Social Studies.

"Yeah..." Edward replied slowly.

Percy stared hard into his eyes with a look of defiance. "Okay, so we're de--" Haley suddenly jumped in on the conversation. "Brothers and sisters. That's what we are. His mom married one man and had him. They got divorced and his mom married another man and had me. We're step siblings." Edward looked at them suspiciously. "Look, Haley. We gotta tell him. It's his future and your's too," Percy argued. Haley started to shout, "A SATYR SHOULD TELL HIM! IT'S THEIR JOBS! NOT US! WE MERELY EXIST BECAUSE OF OUR PARENTS STUPID MISTAKES! ARGG!" She stomped the ground and stormed off to the McDonald's on the corner. "She's just like Annabeth, when she was a stupid stuck up girl," Percy muttered under his breath. "Umm... Hey? I'm still here, ya know?" Edward waved at Percy. "Sorry about that, man. Let me explain everything. From the start, I promise," Percy replied.

"So we have the Greek gods, am I right?"

"Yeah, the 12 Olympians that live on Mount Olympus."

"Exactly. So these gods act like humans. They have our emotions and look human... Well, most of the time."

"Most of the time?"

"I'll tell you later. So humans have children to have grandchildren and kids and so on and so on."

"Let me guess. Greek gods enjoyed interfering with human race since they were so superior. So they mingle and end up having children with normal humans."

"Correct. And the 'normal humans'? We call them mortals."

"Second guess. I'm not mortal?"

"You got it. Some god probably had you with your parent and left you."

"I had a father so that means I must have a goddess as your mother. Maybe Athena or Aphrodite?"

"So you could be a child of smartness or beauty."

"I don't really care. It seems being a child of a god, you're left out most of the times."

"I don't think the gods would like that."

Thunder rumbled in the air. Edward looked around him. It was still sunny yet it rumbled with thunder. Percy put on a see-I-told-you look on his face. "Okay, you win. So what do I now since I'm half god and half mortal?" Percy smirked and replied, "Since you're a demigod, you get to go to camp."
