I was walking down a moonlit path. There were forests of trees on both sides of me. I wanted to explore. I turned to my left and started walking. As I approached, I saw someone coming towards me. He was Latino with curly black hair and gorgeous brown eyes. He had a slim build and a mischievous, knowing smile. When he saw me he stopped.

We sat there in silence until I dared speak.

"Who are you?" he just stared at me. It was quite annoying. Just as I was thinking he didn't know how to speak, he called to someone behind him.

"Piper, come here please."

"What is it, Leo. Honestly, if this is a joke…."

She looked at me. No she stared at me. She looked quite beautiful, but trying not to be at the same time. She looked Native American. Her hair was brown and her eyes seemed to change color. I pinched myself to make sure I was awake; I woke up. I curse. Why did I have to wake myself up?

I glance at the clock. 5:59. One minute until my alarm goes off. I lay down. It's the last day of school. Thank goodness. I hate school. So many girls that judge you just by how you dress, act, or your music preferences.

My alarm goes off; it is time to get up. I hop off my bed and get dressed. I decide to wear my green shirt I got at a camp last year and some black pants.

I walk downstairs to find my mom making my favorite red pancakes and green eggs. It's my special occasion breakfast.

Flashback

"Mom, why do you make green food on April fool's day?"

"Well I'm supposed to be fooling you with green pancakes."

"You're not fooling me if I know it's coming every year."

"Wow. Maybe I'll do something else next year.

Another Flashback

Red pancakes and green eggs are on the table.

"Mom you did it. You actually surprised me."

"That's what I was going for."

"Maybe we can make this our special occasion/April Fool's day breakfast.

"Sounds good to me."

"Hey mom. What's up?" She glances up.

"The ceiling." Really? That one again?

"What's up with you?" Yes, I'm playing that game.

"Nothing really. Just talking to my daughter on the last day of school. Did I mention it is the last day?" When I said nothing she added; "A middle schooler I might add. Oh my little girl is all grown up. Moving on to being a freshman next year."

"Do I have to?" I whined.

"Oh just come in and eat." I hadn't realized I'd just been standing in the doorway this whole time.

I go into the kitchen and scarf down my food. With only crumbs left on my plate, (I'm NOT a picky eater), I check the clock. 7:15. Wow time flies when you're eating.

I run and get my backpack.

"Bye mom. See ya after school." I wait for her response.

"Bye, have a good day. Be good. Don't die." She always says don't die. I like it.

"I promise I won't." With that I shut the door. I have ten minutes to get to the bus stop. It is four blocks away from my house.

I arrive at the bus stop within five minutes, so I just sit on the bench waiting. When the bus finally comes, I don't notice it until I hear the doors open.

The bus is in chaos when I walk into it. I can't believe people can be so reckless. I see my friend Angie sitting in the back. I walk over to her and sit down. The bus propels forward. We stop at an apartment complex.

Percy Jackson steps into the bus. Angie squeezes my arm. 15 years old and she still has a crush on him. I did when I was 12, but not anymore. The weird thing is, I've always moved schools with him. He's one of my best friends. My mom and his mom are friends, so they decided to keep us together. Angie moves schools with me because we're best buds.

Percy and I get along because we both have ADHD and dyslexia. I hate it because it makes it hard for me to read. Percy just goes with the flow. It really irks me that he acts so cool and calm about it. I bet it bugs him to, but he won't admit it.

He spots me and walks in my direction. Brett tries to trip him, and fails. Percy just AGAIN acts cool.

Meanwhile Angie is probably cutting off the circulation to my arm. She really needs to get over this crush. Soon I'll have no arms left for her to squeeze. I gently, but firmly take my arm out of her grasp.

Percy finally walks up to us.

"What's up?" I glance at the ceiling.

"The roof of the bus." I will play that game all I wish.

"Haha" was all he said.

"Are you ready for the last day of school?" I already knew his answer.

"Heck yes." Yep I was right.

"When could we hang out?" I frowned at his response.

"Sorry. I have to head off to camp after school. They don't like to be kept waiting." By "they" he meant Annabeth, his almost girlfriend. They still don't admit it. They act like little kids sometimes.

"Are you going to tell her this summer?" Percy frowned.

"What?"

"Annabeth, you idiot. We both know you like her." He looked down at his hands and blushed. For the rest of the bus ride, I thought about how weird my dream was last night. I've had weird dreams, but I could never control them before.

When we got to school I was so lost in thought that Percy and Angie were waving their hands in front of my face saying; "Lily, are you there?"

I snap out of my daze. Percy looked worried. Angie looked hurried.

"I don't want to be late. Let's go." With that she pulled me to my feet.

As we got out of the bus, I saw a really huge dog staring straight at me and Percy.
