"Andrew! Wake up, or you'll be late for school!" Shouted Laura Monroe.

Andrew Monroe groaned. He silently asked to himself why it was that he never could sleep very well at night. Usually, he could get by on 4 hours of sleep, but last night, he didn't sleep at all. Whatever, Andrew thought. Not like it's the first time it's happened. It seems like every time there is a life-changing moment for Andrew, he never gets an ounce of sleep the night before. When he was a baby, and he said his first word, his parents said that he hadn't slept at all that night. The same thing happened when he learned how to walk, or when he took 1st in State for Archery for his school team last year. So, he's guessing something big will happen today.

"Might as well find out what it is," he muttered to himself.

He unwillingly got out of bed and changed into his white v-neck and jeans, before going downstairs for breakfast.

"Morning," he mumbled to his family.

"Hey, Andrew!" A cheery voice said. "Look, I'm wearing a white shirt too, with jeans! Just like you!"

Andrew turned and looked the person with the voice up and down. He smiled when he saw his twelve year old brother, Darren, staring up at him. "That's great, Darren."

Darren grinned at him, proud of Andrew's compliment.

"Morning, Sweetie." Laura, Andrew's mom said.

His father, Bill, gave him a nod, before saying, "You got that big test today?"

Andrew sighed. "Yeah, Dad I do. And don't worry, I'm prepared."

"You better be."

Only two more months of school before summer. He could deal with his dad getting on his back for every little thing until then…right?

"I am! Just trust me." After those words, Andrew grabbed his bag and bow, and then walked out the door towards his car. Yeah, being sixteen was awesome. You could just hop in your car to get away from your parents.

Andrew arrived at school and walked toward his locker. When he arrived there, that's when he heard the whispers. He looked toward his right and saw four girls he'd never seen before. Must be new girls, he thought. Then he looked them over more. They weren't that bad looking. They smiled at him, and he smiled his charming smile back. He looked away and closed his locker, about to go over to them, when he saw someone else walk up to them.

"Trust me, you don't want to get involved with him. He's a jerk, and a player." The girl talking to the girls said. He recognized the girl as Stephanie Burward. The one girl in the whole school who didn't practically throw themselves at Andrew when given the chance.

Andrew would never admit it, but Stephanie was kind of hot. She had a slim figure, which was toned because she was very athletic, and because she spent most of her time in the auto shop room at school. She had long, wavy chocolate brown hair and side bangs. Her skin was slightly tan. But her best features were her eyes. They were almost golden colored, only slightly darker.

The girls looked at Stephanie…hungrily? And then looked at Andrew, with a cold look, before turning away.

As upset as he was at Stephanie for chasing the girls away, he could never show it. Andrew and Stephanie had a rivalry, of the sorts. The whole school knew about it. They despised each other. Because of this, they never missed an opportunity to make fun of the other person.

"Whoa there, Burward. If you were jealous, you could have just said so," He smirked.

Stephanie rolled her eyes. "You wish, Monroe. I was just saving them those minutes of their lives that they would have wasted by talking to you. So really, I was helping." She smiled fake smile at Andrew.

Now it was Andrew's turn to roll his eyes. "Oh please. Every girl in this school wants me."

Suddenly, the warning bell rung for everyone to get to their first period class. The two had first and last period together (great way to start and end the day) so they started walking while continuing their debate.

"Which just goes to show how desperate they all are," She retorted quickly, before adding, "And not everyone wants you."

"Yes they do. Some just are in denial." He said, nudging her a little.

She nudged back, but it was more like a hard shove.

"You're just jealous because I'm the only girl in this school who hasn't opened her legs for you yet," She retorted quickly.

Andrew chuckled. "It's only a matter of time, Burward."

Their banter continued until they reached their class.

Once they entered the classroom, Stephanie went off to talk to her best friend, Sandra. Sandra waved at Andrew half-heartedly, before continuing talking to Stephanie.

Sandra is often referred to by the boys of Stephenson High School as the most beautiful girl in the school. She was a typical beautiful popular girl, with her deep blue eyes and her blonde hair, which was very long and always braided to the side and over her shoulder. She wore either sundresses or skirts every day. It's hard to believe that Stephanie, one of the most non-girly-girls Andrew knew, could be best friends with Sandra.

Andrew and Sandra weren't necessarily friends, but they were both on the Archery team (which Andrew is Captain of) and get along fairly well. Andrew also knows it's hard to get to know each other super well, since Stephanie hates him.

Andrew doesn't know why, but he's always loved to argue with Stephanie. Something about it is just so amusing. He thinks it may be the fact that she hates him, and he knows how to get under her skin easily. Whatever it was though, he didn't plan on letting it go soon.

The day went by quickly, and suddenly it was last period. Andrew walked in right before the bell, so he didn't get a chance to talk to any of his friends.

The teacher, Ms. Matthews, welcomed the class, and then announced that for the last two months of school, they would be studying Greek Mythology.

The lecture went on and Andrew grew increasingly bored. It was almost as if he already knew this stuff. He looked around the room and saw everyone taking notes. Everyone except two people: him and Stephanie. She looked bored too, and looked like she couldn't sit still. Boy did he know that feeling. He found himself staring at her, and then suddenly, she perked up, and started listening to what Ms. Matthews was saying. He decided that he should try to listen too, but it was hard with his ADHD, and he could barely copy the notes down on the board because he was dyslexic.

"It is said, that some of the Greek gods fell in love with Mortals. In fact, they would even have children with them, called Demi-gods."

Demi-gods. For some reason everything in Andrew's body told him to pay attention when he heard that word.

Ms. Matthews continued, "One of the greatest Demi-gods, Hercules-"

Suddenly Sandra came bursting into the room, out of breath, like she'd been running.

"Ms. Matthews," she breathed, "I need Stephanie Burward and Andrew Monroe. Mr. Beekley would like to see them."

"Yes, Sandra. Is everything okay?" Ms. Matthews asked, concerned.

Mr. Beekley was the school principal, who was hired last year, when Andrew was a freshman. Andrew found him pretty cool, but everyone else seemed to hate him.

"Yes, yes. Everything is fine." Then she turned to look between Andrew and Stephanie. "Bring your stuff," she told them.

Andrew quickly got up and packed his stuff, and Stephanie did the same. Then they followed Sandra out, and she began walking at a fast pace. They passed Andrew's locker, and that's when Stephanie spoke up.

"Sandra, wait up!" She said. "What's going on?"

"Yeah, I'd like to know the same thing! I'd rather not spend any more time with Burward here than I already have to." Andrew quietly yelled.

"Oh, shut it, Monroe!" Stephanie hissed.

"Guys, this is really not the time to be fi-" suddenly Sandra was cut off by the sight of something.

It was the four girls that Stephanie had ruined Andrews chances with this morning. He started to smile at them, but then they did what was supposed to be impossible. They tore off their skin, to reveal something that looked to be half snake, half woman.

Stephanie stuttered, "Wh-What the heck are those?"

Andrew looked towards Sandra, expecting to see terror across her face. Instead, he saw pure hatred, and also a hint of determination.

Then Sandra said through gritted teeth, "Dracanae."
