I was on my bus going home from a long day at school. Good thing my teacher didn't phone my mom to come. You have no idea how scary it is to be around her when she's angry. First, my arch enemy, the popular kid, Dianna Blakewood started calling me names. She pinched my cheek, and then I lashed at her without thinking. I grabbed my scissors and started chasing her, threatening to jab her when the teacher came storming in. She gave me 7 more essay pages and Dianna got a pat on the back and a lollypop. How unfair is that. And the teacher knows I have ADHD! Which means it will be extra hard to finish the essays. I mom is super smart, like a genius, but I don't really feel like asking her about the essays. I mean, I'm the daughter of math whiz and an architect! She's super smart and I'm not. I went to the library with the class. I saw my most favorite book series of all time! The hunger games! There was only one copy the third book.

Great! I thought I didn't read it yet!

Dianna snatched it before I could get my hands on it.

"Great" she said in a popular girl voice. "I haven't read these yet! Have you? Oh that's right, I have the copies you were going to use" she laughed wickedly and went off. She had hideous Orange freckles and horrid dry sickly greenish-blonde color.

I cursed in another language

She turned around and stared at me.

What the…? I thought what language was that? I know my parents are Greek, but I don't know any.

I looked around a bit more. I saw a book called The Lightning Thief

That looks interesting; I wondered to myself I'll try it

So I picked it up and checked it out.

I forgot to introduce myself

Hope Jackson, grade 8, 13

Sea-green eyes like my dad's and curly blonde hair, like my mom's.

I read a bit suddenly, I froze. Percy Jackson? How could that be? My father didn't do anything famous. It was just a book but I still couldn't shake the fact that the character's name was Percy. Anyway I read it and then I came across another name, Annabeth, my mom. Seriously, this was getting creepy. I took all the books from the two series and stuffed them in my bag after I checked them out of the library.

I got home. I went straight to my room and locked the door. I started reading the books, really good. I started reading the first book. I thought to myself…

Omg a lot of stuff in the books can add up to my life.

Then I heard a knock on my door and a voice spoke

"Hope?" It was my dad "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" I called but I didn't feel fine. What weren't my parents telling me?

The doorbell rang. My father left my room.

"Your friends are here" he called.

I quickly, hid my books and opened the door to see my BFFs. Destiny Grace, Faith Zhang and Justice Valdez. They were the best. Also, my parents and theirs were friends. They knew each other before we were born. I gestured them to come in and shut the door, locking the door behind me.

"Guys!" I said "look at this" I pulled out the books. They looked at them.

"Yeah, so" Faith asked

"Look closer" I said anxiously

They looked more and gasped

"All these characters…" Destiny froze looking at the back cover of one of the books.

"Jason and Piper, my mom and dad" she said, and then I heard footsteps.

"Keep quiet"

"Hope honey, are you guys ok in there?" my mom called. I forgot she got home early today!

"Yes we're fine, just doing girl stuff" I lied. My mom knows I don't do girl stuff.

"Ok" my mom said hesitantly and left the door.

"My mom and dad are in this too!" Faith said "Frank and Hazel".

"There's my dad! Leo!" Justice gasped.

Ok this is too weird. How did this guy make these stories and why are they based on Greek mythology? I know that my dad is Greek but I don't understand.

Suddenly there was this loud boom coming from the kitchen. We all run out to see this hideous, and I mean hideous giant dog thing!

Ooohh! Cliff hanger! Well, I hope you enjoyed! I had this for a while, but wasn't sure that I wanted to make this into a fanfic, but I decided too. Review! Hope you like it!

XOXO, Ella
