14 years later. June 10th

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Urg, stupid alarm clock I thought as I tried to ignore the stupid thing but of course, I failed at that. I slammed my hand on the off button, resisting the urge to destroy it. I then noticed the time on it. 7:40. twenty more minutes until Nightly Academy started. Crap. Immentaily, I bolted right out of my comfy bed and ran into the bathroom to brush my teeth as fast as I could.

Oh hi, my name is Luna Grace and I'm a New Yorker along with my twin brother Tyler and our mom, Thalia Grace (who is amazing!). As for my dad…I never met him before since he had died in some war before Tyler and I were born. Our mom doesn't talk about him much since it always made her sad talking about him. The only I have from him is a silver eagle hairclip that he got for me before he died. My mom said that it would protect me in the future but I don't see how that's possible.

After I quickly put on a dark blue shirt, some dark wash jeans, a black leather jacket, and my black converse, I ran into room that had the sign 'Tyler' on the door. His room was painted blue, like mine, but his was more of a dark blue while mine was a light blue. Anyway, the lazy lump who was my brother was snoring loudly when I entered the room, his alarm clock still beeping. Once I turned it off, I looked at the lump curled up in the middle of Tyler's bed. I readied myself and leaped, landing right on top of him.

Tyler groaned.

"Wake up Tyler!" I hissed at him.

"Wake me up tomorrow Luna, I'm too tired to get up now" he grumbled from under the sheets. Normally, I would laugh but right now wasn't the time for jokes.

"Now isn't the time Tyler! School starts in exactly 14 minutes!"

At the mention of school, his head shot up, almost hitting mine. He looked at me with a shocked expression, his glacial blue eyes widen with shock.

"What?"

"I said that school starts in-"

"I know what you said!"

Tyler bolted out of his bed and into the bathroom. I heard the fluent turn on, probably to wash his face.

"Jeez! Luna! Why didn't you wake me up earlier? We're going to be late for school now?" He called from the bathroom.

"I just woke up too you know!" I called back

He didn't answer back and knowing him, he probably rolled his eyes. Quickly, I grabbed some of his clothes and ran to the bathroom just as Tyler opened the door for me. I tossed him the clothes and he exiamed them. A white shirt, a green hoodie, some black jeans, and a pair of green vans.

"Just hurry up and get dressed so that we can go to school!" I told him. He didn't even argue back or make a sarcastic comment. Instead, he just rolled his eyes again and closed the door in my face. As I waited for him, I looked in the mirror and my hair was a mess! I grabbed a hairbrush and brushed out all the tangles and knots out until my blonde hair was silky smooth again. I quickly clipped up my blond bangs out of my eyes with my sliver eagle hairclip, the one dad got for me before he died. A single black dyed streak stood out in my sandy blonde locks and of course, black eyeliner to make my eyes stand out.

Tyler soon came out of the bathroom, his spiky black hair still a mess but over wise all ready. "Took you long enough" I say as we rushed out of our apartment. He rolled his eyes again; pretty soon, his eyes are goanna fall out of his sockets. "Whatever"

We ran to our ducati desmosedi motorcycle (aka, our Christmas present from our mom) and Tyler slipped into the front seat, starting the motorcycle as I called the back seat. Technically, we weren't supposing to driving for another two years but if we could get away with shoplifting, I'm sure we can get away with under age driving. Anyway, I checked the time and swore. There was only ten more minutes until school started and it usually took us twenty minutes to get there!

Tyler probably had used his twin telepathy thing because he said "don't worry Luna. We'll get to school on time"

Tyler was right. We made it to school with only two minutes to spare. Tyler drove like a speeding devil. We whizzed by cars and cut off red lights and if the police had caught us, we would have probably get 30+ tickets (and arrested). As Tyler ran off to his math class, I sprinted to my art class. I ran into the classroom, panting, just as the bell rang. All of my classmates looked at me and I received a glare from Mrs. Brush, the art teacher.

"Ah Ms. Grace. How nice of you to join us. Please, have a seat"

I just grinned in response. I wasn't late! I walked over to my assigned seat and slumped over in the plastic chair with a sigh. Brianna, one of my friends, looked over at me with a concern look. Her red scarlet hair was pulled back into a ponytail with a few strands out.

"You okay Luna?" she asked, cocking her head as she did, "you just ran into class like it was the end of the world."

I was too relived to say anything so I just smiled at her and put my head in the desk, closing my eyes to relax a bit when a sweet voice inrrupted my relaxation, "Why were you late?"

I opened my eyes and peeked over to my left to see Alyssa, my best friend, (and Tyler's crush!) looking down at me with her unusual eyes that were the same color as dark lilac flowers. It's really hard to believe that's really the color of her eyes and not some color contacts.

"I wasn't late Alyssa" I said "I made it on time"

Alyssa sighed, running her fingers through her wavy dark brown hair, "fine, why were you almost late then?"

The teacher then turned off the lights and I looked up to see a TV in front of the room. I turned back to Alyssa and whispered, "What are we watching?"

Alyssa looked annoyed at the change of subject but said, "Don't you remember? We're watching a documentary about that famous artist, Vik Muniz, today. Now, why were you almost late today late?" I opened my mouth to response but then the teacher yelled, "No talking! Do you two want detention today?"

I just couldn't get detention today do I just muttered "no" while Alyssa just shook her head. As the documentary started, I took a pen and a piece of paper and wrote 'I just overslept today okay?' on it and gave it to Alyssa. I watched as she read it and look up at me, nodding. I nodded back as I felt someone tap my shoulder.

I turned to see Brianna looking at me with her warm brown eyes, whispering,

"What are you guys talking about? Did Alyssa tell you about how we're going shopping after sch-"

"We weren't talking about anything" I whispered back "and what's this about a shopping trip" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

Brianna frowned, "you mean Alyssa hasn't told you yet?" I shake my head and she sighs. "Well, Alyssa and I are going to the mall after school today to buy our dresses for the dance tomorrow. Want to come with us?"

I silently groaned. Tomorrow was the summer dance that the school always has at the end of the school year for the middle scholars (the academy was both a high school and middle school). I personally didn't want to go since I hated those kinds of things but Alyssa and Brianna are making me going anyway. What makes it suck even more is that you have go with a date. Alyssa was going with Tyler (the idiot finally got the nerves to ask her yesterday) while Brianna was going with our other friend Sebastian. I, on the other hand, didn't have a date yet.

"Do I have too?" I ask. She then makes a puppy dog face that no one can say no to, "please?" I sighed, "fine bu-"

"Do I hear talking Miss Grace and Miss Scarlet?" Mrs. Brush asked. We both jumped and looked at our teacher who was glaring directly at us. The whole class looked at us and Briana and I both muttered "no".

Some people laughed while others just continued watching the movie. Mrs. Brush watched us for a while before going back to grading art projects. As for me, I just put my head on my desk, closed my eyes, and fell asleep for the rest of the documentary.

We had P.E. before lunch and I was pretty happy about because we were playing dodge ball, one of my favorite games of all time. I was pretty much a master at it and it was the perfect way for me to hurt the people I hated, without getting in trouble. But before the game started, Ethan Springer came up to me. I scowled. Ethan was part of the popular crowd and one of those snobby rich kids that people always fall for.

"What do you want Springer?" I hissed at him.

"Hey Grace, want to go to the dance with me tomorrow night?" he asked, sending me a creepy smile that made want to rip his pretty (not) little head off.

"Hmmm let me think…NO!" his face was priceless. "But why?" I snorted. He thinks he get anything he wants just because he's rich.

"Because I would rather die then go to the dance with you Springer" I growled.

He then grabbed me by my collar and slapped me. I didn't even flinch. The impact wasn't that hard but it was enough to leave a red mark. A crowd started to surround us and a few people gasped when he slapped me. Guess they didn't think the great Ethan Springer would hit a girl.

"Luna!" Brianna cried when she saw my red cheek. I was silent for a few minutes before looking back at the glaring boy before me, his hard grip still on me. Soon his glare was returned by my more deadly one.

"It's not nice to hit a girl you know" I said bitterly. I could hear thunder crackle outside the building. That always happens when either Tyler or I get really pissed off for some strange reason.

He fumed; "you!" and I knew he lost as I saw his fingers curl up into a fist that went flying towards my face. But luckily, I stopped it before it did hit me. I glared at him some more and he winched.

"And you call yourself a man" I say before landing my fist onto his not-so-pretty-face. He let go of me and fell to the cold ground with a big THUD. More people gasped but I just ignored them as I watched him slowly got up to his feet and tried to hit me again but the sound of whistle blowing stopped him.

"Okay you guys!" yelled Coach Liles "time to play some dodge ball!" some people cheered while others groaned. Ethan glared at me "I'll you back later Grace" I glared back at him "right back at you Springer" I say as he walked back to his team. I was then tackled by a red blur. Literally. "Luna! Your cheek! Is it ok?" Briana asked, our voice full of concern as she kept pushing me and making me wobbly

"Brianna! Don't-", I yelped, losing my balance and taking Brianna with me. We both slammed into the cold gym floor, groaning in pain as our asses collided with the floor.

"S-sorry! Are you okay Luna?" asks Brianna.

"She will be if you don't tackle her again Bri" Alyssa said teasingly as she came towards us, smile on her face. Brianna started complaining and pouting to her but Alyssa just ignored her as she looked at me. "Your cheek okay?" she asks as she helped me regained my balance.

"Yeah, Springer didn't hit me that hard" I say.

"You sure? You should at least get a bandage."

I shake my head, "nah I'm good". Then the coach yelled at us to get on the wall.

"Besides, I wouldn't miss this game for anything" I say, a not-so-nice smile growing on my face.

Alyssa just smirked, "Well, have fun!" she says as she walked towards the sidelines along with a dragging Brianna since they were sitting out today.

The P.E. coach stood by the sidelines, whistle to his lips. He looked at both teams and yelled "Ready, set, go!" and we all took off. Soon enough, a certain snobby rich kid was sent to the nurse's office with a bloody nose and a black eye.

Hmmmm….now I wonder how that happen?

Tyler pov:

I could hear thunder crackling outside in the distance.

Luna must have gotten angry again, I thought, sighing

I was currently in my Latin class, the only I didn't get a C and under in. Mr. Underwood, our teacher, was a guy in his mid-thirties with crunches. Appartly he had this muscle disease in his legs so whenever he walks, it looks like every step hurts like hell. But besides that all, I have to admit he was pretty cool guy. He would tell us funny stories and jokes in class and we would always do cool stuff in his class.

Today, he was telling us about demigods, the offspring of the Greek and Roman god's affairs with mortals. He told that demigod, or half-bloods, were superhuman mortals since they half human and half god. He told us that many of them had become great heroes in the past and all that other boring stuff about them.

"Now, what powers do the children of Zeus have?" Mr. Underwood asked, "Mr. Grace?" I look up at him. I already knew the answer since mom had always told Luna and me stories and stuff about demigods when we were little. Not that mind of course. I had always found them interesting, even through I heard them about a hundred times already.

"The children of Zeus probably have the some power over the weather and air since their dad is the lord of the sky and can fly. They also have control over due electricity and lightning to the fact that Zeus is also the god of lighting." I answered.

A few people in class snickered as I spoke and I glared at them to shut up. Mr. Underwood on the other hand looked immersive and surprised at my answer, as if he wasn't expecting me to know that.

"Correct Mr. Grace! What about the children of Hermes? What powers do they have?" Again, I already knew the answer.

"Since their dad was the god of thieves, they could probably steal things without other people noticing and are very fast since their dad is the fastest out of all the gods." Again, Mr. Underwood looked immersive.

Just then, the lunch bell rang and I sighed in happiness. Finally! I was starving! I thought. I quickly packed up all of my stuff and headed for the door when Mr. Underwood stopped me.

"Mr. Grace?" he called.

"Yes?"

"You should be careful in the near future. There are many dangerous things out there." I frowned at him but nodded as I walked out the door.

Outside the classroom were two teenage boys that looked like they were waiting for someone. One of them was an Asian kid with short jet-black hair and dark brown eyes that look their analyzing your every move. The other was a Hispanic with curly chestnut brown hair. Dark bags hung under his hazel eyes, as if he hasn't slept in days.

"Did you get detention?" the Asian kid asked as we walked to the cafeteria together.

"Nah" I said "You know Mr. Underwood Sebastian. He's too nice to do that kind of stuff".

"Well you never know Tyler. And knowing you, I wouldn't be surprised if you were the first kid in history to get detention from him" Sebastian says teasingly.

I glared at him and mumbled "shut up" while Alex (the Hispanic kid) laughed.

I glared at him too, "it's not funny Alex"

Alex just grinned as we walked through the glass doors of the cafeteria.

Once we paid for our lunches, we walked towards a black rectangle table where Luna and the others were sitting at. As I sat down in a chair, I noticed the bandage on Luna's cheek.

"Luna! What happened to your cheek?" I exclaimed. Some people looked over at us after my outburst but I ignored them as Luna answered me, scowling, "that stupid Springer kid slapped me in P.E. today"

Anger flared through me. No one hurts my little sister and gets away with it! I stood up to find Springer and rip his pretty (not) little head off but Alyssa pulled me back down. She flashed me a warm smile and as cliché as it sounds, all my anger melted away and my heart skipped a few beats.

"If you're looking for Springer, he's in the nurse's office with a black eye and a bloody nose" she said.

"What happened to him?" I asked. Not that I was worried for the poor guy. He deserved it anyway.

Alyssa opened her mouth to respond but she was interrupted by the sounds of the cafeteria doors slamming.

We all turned to see Kyler Smith and Adam Buck, the two most popular kids in our grade, stalking in through the cafeteria doors with their stupid minions, a grim look on all of their ugly faces. Kyler and Adam headed towards us while the rest of their groupies headed for the empty table in front of us, the girl's high heels clicking in rhythm as they walked.

"What do you want Smith?" Luna snarled as they stopped in front of our table. She looked like she wanted to strangle Kyler. I couldn't blame her. Kyler glared down at Luna with her furious heavily make up eyes.

"I would watch your mouth if I were you Grace" she growled "you better shut it or someone going to do it for you."

Thunder rumbled outside and Luna's eyes flashed with anger.

"I dare you to try Smith" both girls sent each other deadly glare and if they both had laser eyes, both girls would've fried each other.

Then, Brianna stood up with her already eaten lunch to throw it away but on the way to the trash can, one of the stupid popular kids stuck out their foot as Brianna tripped over it. Brianna fell to the ground with a big THUD and everyone but us laughed at her until her lunch fell on a certain Oh Ms. Popular herself.

All the talking and laughter in the carfertia stopped as everyone stared at the food-covered girl with their jaws dropping to the ground. Luna and I had to bite our lips to keep us from laughing out loud. It was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Brianna paled at the sight of Kyler. "I'm, I'm s-sorry! I-I didn't mean to-"

But Kyler didn't listen to her. Instead she glared at the girl and dumped her whole cup of coffee over the poor girl's head, the cup's hot contents burning her skin and staining her beautiful red floral dress as it made contact with it. Everyone but the stupid popular kids gasped as Brianna ran out of the cafeteria crying with Sebastian following behind her.

The rest of the kids snickered and laughed at her. Luna and I tried to stay calm, tried to control our temper by using the calming exercises that the school counselor had told us about but they weren't working. I could feel even the electricity in the air. A bottle of coke and a bowl of pasta were thrown towards Kyler and Adam. Both objects met their targets right in the face.

"Oops" Me and Luna said in unison. They both glared at us and threw some food at us too but we both ducked as it hit both Alyssa and Alex.

"Hey!" Alyssa cried as she threw of her lunch at them while Alex shoots some jell-o at the posses head.

Then someone shouted "FOOD FIGHT!" and then all Hades broke lose.

I picked up a bowl of salad on the ground and threw it at some random kid.

It was total chaos. Food was being thrown everywhere and kids were screaming, avoiding to get hit. Alyssa was under one of the tables, sling shooting people with her spoon and pudding while Alex was throwing random stuff at people and Luna was using this chance to beat the crap out of Kyler for revenge on Brianna.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" a voice thundered throughout the room. The food fight came to abrupt stop and everyone froze in various positions. There, standing in the doorway of cafeteria himself was the headmaster himself, his face full of pure anger. No one has ever seen the headmaster this mad before.

"All of you, clean up this instant!" he ordered.

There was a chorus of "yes Headmaster Ries"

"Now, who started this?"

Everyone but Alyssa and Alex pointed at Luna and me. The headmaster narrowed his eyes dangerously at us.

"You two" he said, pointing his chubby finger at us "come with me" we both groaned but followed him anyway as we made our way for the doorway. We glared at Kyler and Adam as we passed by them, wishing looks had the ability to kill.

"We are so dead" Luna muttered.

I couldn't agree more with her.
