A/N: This is my first story, so I'm kind of nervous to see how this all turns out. I have several pre-written chapters, but not too many. I do enjoy CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, but please don't kill me over here *Shudders*. Anyway, this story is VERY AU as it does not follow the story line or characters of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series; I was inspired by it to write this, which is why I posted it here, and there is some Greek Mythology (The whole "Astronomical Entities" thing is completely made up so...) .

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, I'm just an inspired fanfic writer.

"The Greek are very well known for their many mythical Gods and Legends. There are well known tales such as Hercules or Jason and the Gold Fleece. Then there are tales that have been lost to ancient Greek literature, or those that are not commonly seen in our text books."

Keice sat at his desk scribbling down notes as his teacher spoke in the front of the class. Keice loved mythology and, as a freshman in high school, he couldn't say that there was anything he looked more forward to.

"Throughout the next week or so, you will be doing an in-class about one of the Greek Myths or Legends. The project may be worked on by up to three people but partners are not required if you wish to work alone. Be sure to pick up a rubric on your way out and remember that just because the project is in-school doesn't mean that you can't work on it out of school. Class dismissed!"

There was a great bustle of commotion as students hurried to grab a rubric and a partner. Keice, on the other hand, waited until everyone cleared out before walking up to his teacher to grab a rubric.

"It always comes in handy to be patient right, Keice."

"Definitely, Mrs. Linkton," Keice smiled as he grabbed a rubric from Mrs. Linkton's hand, "I do have a question though."

"Anything from one of my prize students,"

"Can I do my project on the Astronomical Entities?"

"Well, they are one of the more uncommonly heard tales, so you can as long as you can find the information."

"Count on it!"

The next few hours of the day could only be explained as uneventful. The only thing that Keice could think about was the Greek Mythology project that was assigned that day in first hour. He was pretty sure that he bombed his math test in second hour… Or was that a Science test? Keice couldn't even think straight during lunch period, which was the only time he saw his best friend; since she's a sophomore

"Hey! Keice, are you listening?" Raiyne called from across the lunch table.

"Huh? Oh, sorry. I can't stop thinking about the project that Mrs. Linkton assigned."

There was a slight pause before Raiyne continued to speak, "You're unbelievable sometimes, Keice." Raiyne couldn't help laugh reaching across the table to punch Keice in the shoulder. She pulled of her dark sun glasses after recovering from her laughing fit

Keice looked at Raiyne's eyes. The unnatural white of a blind man's eye covered her pupils and irises, but, as far as Keice knew, Raiyne could see just fine. She didn't have any problems with sports or school, not that Keice would know.

"Where are your contacts?" Keice asked.

"Forgot them at home…"

"Ah, I see"

Raiyne usually wore contacts that turned her eyes blue to avoid questioning or staring. On days that she forgot her contacts, she wore sunglasses.

"So what are you doing the project on?" Raiyne asked with a sharp-toothed grin.

"The Greek Astronomical Entities." Keice answered taking a bite of his bag lunch.

Raiyne didn't reply. Keice looked up at his friend hoping that he didn't possibly offend her, not sure how he could have though. The expression on Raiyne's face was blank. She was just staring back at him with what slightly resembled a smirk, not that Keice could really tell.

"Now look at who's spacing out," Keice laughed. When Raiyne still didn't respond, Keice ran his hand through his light brown, shoulder length hair with a sigh.

Raiyne abruptly stood up with a jerk, "I have to go. I'll see you later." Raiyne sprinted off after that.

Keice sighed and muttered, "The usual…"
