First off, thank you to LeoFanboy, Prophecy7, and tecchy for the reviews and/or favoriting me and following me. If I didn't recognize anyone, please tell me in a review so I can fix that! Thank you for the comments, it really does help.
LeoFanboy: I know. I'll try to work on it. I just got an idea and I had to get it down. Thank you for the advice! :)
Prophecy7: I'm so sorry I forgot to do this last chapter. Forgive me, please. Thank you! I'm glad that you like the idea and the story. This idea actually came to me along time ago, and I just thought to get it down this month. Ya' know, January 1!:).
And one more thing. I'm sorry I haven't been frequently updating. My chapters will be more frequent during the summer, since I am really busy in school. I am in 6th grade, and I know that it doesn't sound like much, but they are giving us tons of work and stuff.

Kamryn's P.O.V
I was sitting in my room, waiting. My brother was late. Again. He had been out partying late, though I don't know who it would've been with. He's not what you'd call…cool. Yeah, that's the word. Cool. I finally called him.
"Kobe! Where are you? You were supposed to pick me up thirty minutes ago to drop me off at school. Do you want me to call and tell Mom that you're not being responsible? Because trust me, she'll take you out of NYU and send us home faster than you can say tomato!" I screamed into the phone.
"Kamryn! Chill. I'll be there in a few minutes. Just please don't tell Mom or Dad that I was out last night. Please" He practically begged. He was at my feet…
"Ok. But it's going to cost you. How about… $200 and a maltipoo puppy, since you probably don't know what that is," I could practically feel him deflate under that offer. But he knew me. He knew I was deadly serious about that offer.
"Fine," He growled, "Just be out there when I get there. I've got places to be, people to see!".
"What people? The cat lady in the park? I think you need new friends…".
"Shut up! I'm hanging up now! Bye!" He hung up like the pouty baby he was. Boys. I got up and grabbed my backpack. I put, like, 10 books in there and zipped it up. I grabbed 5 scattered notebooks and pens and carried them to the door with me. I walked out and locked the door. Sorry, my mom says to do that run-through every time I leave the house. Anyways, I walked out the door just as my idiot brother pulled up. With a girl in his car. A brunette girl. Who looked suspiciously like my best friend, Lexie Ellis…(A/N: You guys should recognize this! :).).
"Kamryn!" She yelled. She jumped out of the car really zoom- zoomy and gave me a big, fluffy hug. Sorry, inside jokes.
"Lexie?! What are you doing here? Why did you have to hitch a ride from my brother? You're famous now! You don't need to hitch rides anymore!" I shot off at her. I might be a little weird.
"Good to see you too, Kam. I'm really feeling the love," She said sarcastically. "Well, I decided I don't like homeschooling, I wanted to see you before school could ruin the moment, and I just felt like it. And that was my biggest mistake. Your brother is a horrible driver. Horrible,".
"I know, right? But, why'd you choose here?" I asked. Don't look at me like that! I'm just curious. You know what they say. Curiosity killed the cat! That did not help my case at all, did it? Anyways…
"All the other girls go here, so I figured, 'Why not go here?'. Plus, it was the closest to a recording studio," she said. This was not good.
"You probably shouldn't have chose this particular school," I said hoping that she wouldn't ask why.
"Why?" Well, there go my dreams of having working ears when I grow up.
"Well," I started off nervously. "There may be a small, little chance a Mr. Ethan Robinson goes there. I braced myself.
"What?" She whispered. I was expecting a louder reaction, not that I'm complaining. I'm more than happy to keep my hearing. But I felt bad after that thought. I would hate if the guy who cheated on me with a slutty redhead (No offence to any redheads! I had to pick a color and blonde is so overused, so red it is!) named Veronica. That would suck.
"Yeah… And there is a small chance he may be a prick who sleeps around a lot. Anyways, how about we get in the car and continue this conversation? Ok," We climbed in the car and started talking.
"What do you mean by 'sleeps around'? He told me that as long as he was Christian, he would never sleep with a girl until marriage!" She said, still clinging to the fact that maybe Ethan wasn't turned into a total bastard.
"Lexie," I said, "He is not the same. I'm not sure he's Christian anymore. He's changed. A lot,". Sound like something off a movie…
"Well, she said putting on that confident smile that she was so very proud of. "I guess I'll just have to deal with that. It's not like I thought we would get married or anything…" She said all that hesitantly, so I had a hard time believing it, but I nodded anyway. She would put up a good argument if I disagreed. And we would never get out of the car if we started arguing.
"Yeah," I said, and that was the end of that conversation. She started asking me how the others were doing.
"I mean," she said, "I've texted them, but… I haven't seen them in forever. The last time I saw anyone was 4 months after little miss Haven was born,". Haven was the daughter of her best friend, Hannah. Lets just say, she made a big mistake. Not that Haven was a mistake, though. Haven was beautiful.
"Everyone is doing great. Speaking of Haven, she said her first word!" I said.
"She did?!" Lexie gasped. I guess nobody told her.
"Yeah. But it was yesterday. In the middle of the night, Haven started crying for her moma, and I guess Hannah didn't think to call you. I only know because she told me this morning. Oh, look! We're here!" We pulled into the parking lot of Goode and got out of the car, Lexie looking a little green. I was used to it.
"How the Hell did your brother pass his test?" She groaned. "I have never gotten carsick before,".
"I don't know. The world doesn't know. Neither had I, until I rode with Kobe. The boy needs help. We should do what Lilly and Trulie did to Hart, and put the number in his phone. His invisible girl will wonder if he's cheating on her," We snickered at that. That prank was so funny.
"Lets go in," She said, and with that, we made our way to the doors.
Lexie's P.O.V
As soon as we walked through the double doors, people bombarded me. I forgot about this. Oops? I'm sure there were people behind the door, but they couldn't get through because I am being MOBBED. I was getting a little worked up, now.
"Ok," I yelled. "People, back up and get in a single file line. If I see any pushing or touching of any kind, you are out of the line, and I will have a little… talk with you. Fun fact. I'm a 5th degree black belt, and well… I can hold my own in a ? Good," I know, I'm awesome like that.
"Lexie? Is that you I hear? Oh my God, girlfriend, I haven't seen you since that slut Hannah Jones gave birth!" Some slut I've never met walked up to me. I looked her over with angry eyes. Dyed platinum blonde hair, 5 pounds of makeup on, a bra, and duct tape around her waist. Yes, Hannah's the slut. Totally.
"First off, do I know you? Second, Hannah's the slut? Third, HANNAH'S NOT A SLUT you little bitch!" I screamed, angry.
"Yeah, she is," She said, like the girls out of the movies. "She got pregnant, though I don't know who would ever be attracted to her. I mean she's practically dirt. But, I mean, if you get pregnant at that age, you have to be a slut,".
"Then, if that's the case, shouldn't you have 20 kids?" But she wasn't at looking at me anymore.
"Ethan! Hey, baby. This is Lexie, my bestie," She said gloatingly. I turned around to disagree, and nearly had a heart attack. I quickly put my head down and pulled over the hood of my hoodie down. Hopefully he won't notice.
"Yeah, whatever," He said. Good. He didn't notice. "Listen, Chelsea, I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry but, well, I don't like you. Never did. I was just needed some… relief. Okay? Bye," She ran down the hall with tears in her eyes. I can't believe he just did that. Even she didn't need that harsh of a breakup.
"Do you know how harsh that was? You didn't need to tell her all that. You just embarrassed her in front of everyone," I whispered. I didn't care if he recognized me or not, right now. Fate seemed to be on the not side, though, since he was looking at his phone.
"She needed it. Plus, it's better than not giving a reason. Believe me, it hurts even more when you don't get a reason. It helps to know the person, too. I would know. Everything I said to her was the truth," I shot up my head. How could he act like he didn't know why I broke up with him. His eyes widened when he saw who he had been talking to.
"You bastard!" I was talking now, though no one else could hear but him. "Did you ever think that maybe she actually liked you? And don't you dare act like you don't know why I broke up with you!".
"It would be nice if you told me," He mumbled, but I ignored that. I started towards the office, since Kamryn left me all alone. "Office is the other way!" He yelled after me.
I turned around and stomped off the other way, though it didn't have the same effect. I was walking towards the office when I heard someone crying. Curious, I followed the sound.
What I found surprised me. Chelsea was sitting in an empty corridor, sobbing. I was tempted to just go back the way I came, say I just made a wrong turn, sorry. But then she looked up she looked up and I was a generally nice person, so I sat beside her. "What do you want?" She said, wiping the tears out of her eyes frantically.
"To see if you're okay. I know how much it hurts," She looked up at me with mascara running down her face, mixing with the countless other products on her face.
"Why? I don't deserve your help. I'm a horrible person," She said, and I immediately felt bad for calling her a slut.
"I'm sorry for calling you a slut," I said. "It wasn't right for me to judge you so quickly,".
"I'm sorry for saying Hannah was one, and that we were best friends," Chelsea said remorsefully.
"Lets go clean you up, get you some clothes that aren't 5 sizes too small, and get less makeup on," I said while her into the bathroom. I rummaged through my bag with a pack of wipes and makeup. I started wiping around her eyes, and then her face. I covered each rag with a bunch of foundation and God- knows- what else, then grabbed my makeup I put any on, though, I thought of something."Hey? Can your dye be washed out with shampoo or…"
"Shampoo. I was going to go get it really dyed this afternoon,".
"Well, don't. I have some shampoo right… here!" I came up triumphantly. She put her hair in the sink and got it wet. I put the shampoo in, and we scrubbed. Then we rinsed it out. I looked at her. She had pitch black hair. I admired that for a minute before I put some mascara, some light powder, and then blush on her. Then, I put eyeliner and eyeshadow on her. She turned to look in the mirror and gasped.
"I look beautiful," She turned around and did something that surprised me. She hugged me. "Thank you," She mumbled into my shoulder.
"You're welcome," I handed her some clothes after she let go. "Put these on. I have shoes after you're done," She took them and changed. When she walked out in the I- am - Awesome t- shirt and the blue jeans, I handed her the tennis shoes and she put them on. We walked out of the bathroom after throwing her clothes away.
"Hey. can I sit with you at lunch?" She nervously asked.
"Of course," I smiled to show I meant it.
"Thanks, for you know, helping me,".
"You are welcome. Bye," I said.
"Bye," She smiled. I waved and started towards the office again. That whole encounter only took… 7 minutes. I still have time! I hurried in the office and quickly got my schedule. I quickly thanked the lady, before looking at my schedule. This is it.

9 Periods! In my old highschool, we only had 7. I always wondered why this school lasted until 4 o'clock instead of 3:30. I was snapped out of my thoughts when a voice behind me said,
"We have been waiting, Alexandria Ellis. Come, join us. We will make you a champion," I whirled around to find Kamryn and a boy I've never met laughing their butts off. Not for long.
"Ha, ha, ha. Very funny Kam, Kam's boyfriend," I said innocently. They both got very red in the face.
"We're not dating," Said mystery boy, but he looked at Kamryn when he said that. He so likes her. It's so obvious. And I don't even know his name.
"You're not? I'm sorry, but I can feel the sexual tension. You guys so like each other," They were so red afterwards that any tomato would be insane if it weren't feeling jealous. I silently laughed. I would get them together. It's funny how I can put the best people together but I can't find my own loser.
"Lexie, this is Connor Stoll," Kamryn said, glaring at me, but it was so hard for her to look scary when her face was as red as an EXIT sign. It. Was. Hilarious.
"Nice to meet you, Connor. My name is Lexie," It was obviously me talking.
"Have I met you? I recognize you," Kamryn looked as if she was about to tell him, but I gave her a warning look. The less people who know about me, the better. I mean, being famous is fun, but people use you. They take you, and they fake being a friend, until they get what they want, and then they totally wreck you. I'm not saying Connor would do that, but it's good to take measures, just in case. Kamryn shut her mouth.
"Maybe you've seen me in a store or something. I've heard you are quite the thief," I actually do know that. I've seen him and his brother, raiding candy stores and stuff, but I never told. I find it cool that they can do that without getting caught. If they don't get caught, then the people don't really care if it gets stolen or not. He looked at Kamryn and I.
"Please don't tell," He said pleadingly. Kamryn and I laughed.
"We won't," We said in unison and laughed again.
"Hey," Connor said, "I'm looking for a guy named Ethan Robinson. I met him the other night and I just wanted to say 'Hi' to him. He seems like a nice guy. Do you know him?" I raised my one eyebrow.
"Yes, but I hate the guy," I said. At least, that was what I told myself. Connor looked curious,
"Why?" He asked.
"Because. He's a jerk. He plays with girls hearts and he is arrogant," I said. Kamryn then interrupted the conversation.
"Hey, guys, I hate to break y'all up, but we've got 2 minutes until homeroom starts. So, I don't know about y'all, but I'm leaving," Kamryn said and started walking. "Oh, Lexie, Connor, you guys will shadow me for the day. Our schedules are the same. Connor plays the Trombone, Lexie, like us!" She said, smiling.
"Cool," I said, looking at him appreciatively. Most people were not cool enough to play the Trombone. "Let us be on our way!" I said in a fake British accent.
We walked to room 101 just as the bell rang. The teacher started talking.
"Ok, class. I'm going to call roll, and then the whole school will take a little thing where you answer some questions about yourself. You will bring them to me when you are done. Now. Ana Adams?
"Here,"
"Kiley Briant?"
"Here,". So the Mrs. Levy went on.
"Alexandria Ellis?"
"Here," I said quickly. She went on and soon she was done. The Mrs. Levy handed out the papers and we started. This is how it went.

Annnnd, it's over. That was torture. Not really. I don't mind.
Finally! It's lunch, the best time of the day. I walked in the lunch room. The news of my arrival had gone down, so I could walk in without a hoodie. I walked to the table where all of my other friends were sitting, Kamryn had walked ahead while I waited for Chelsea. I looked at Kamryn and saw that she was in an argument with a black haired, blue eyed girl. I heard Kamryn.
"Why can't you move over 2 seats so my friends can sit down. You'll still be able to sit with your friends!" Kamryn said angrily.
"Because. I'm waiting for 2 of my friends to get here," said the other girl. I walked over to the girl.
"Hi! What's your name?" I asked.
"Thalia," She said grumpily.
"Well, Kamryn, Thalia, it's only fair that whoever's friends get here first gets the seats, right?"
"I guess," Thalia grumbled.
"Well, isn't that great! I'm here Kamryn!"
"You tricked me!" Said Thalia, looking sort of miffed. "I like you. You are clever,".
"Thank you, thank you very much," I said while bowing. I looked at Chelsea and she looked like she was about to start laughing any second now.
"I'm Lexie," I, obviously, said. We all sat down to start eating when Ethan and his buddies walked in. I tried to look without looking obvious. I was looking until,
"Hey guys!" He looked over at Ethan. Ethan was looking at a laughing kid who seemed to be laughing about something Ethan didn't like. His eyes kept getting angrier and angrier until Ethan punched him in the face. Hard. "Man, I want to hurt that guy right now. He has no right to do that just because he doesn't like something that someone says to him. I hate bullies,".
Ethan looked at his phone as if that punch never happened. He looked at the message he got and his face got pale. He looked like he was flinching when he saw it. I looked at my friends. Someone was missing…
"Lexie!" I felt 2 somethings colliding in my back. I laughed.
"Hannah! Katelyn! I missed y'all so much!" We started giggling. They found it funny that I still had my southern accent after traveling all over the world for my tour. What was funnier is that mine had grown more than it ever had.
"So," Hannah said, sitting on my lap, while Katelyn plopped on Kamryn's. "How is your life? Haven said her first word! I was so proud of my baby!" Hannah's face glowed with that glow that only mothers had.
"Life is good. But you know all about mine. I don't know anything about your's!"
"Well, Braden and I are in a long distance. I know he's Ethan's brother, but he loves me so much, and they are so different,".
"That's cool. And I'm not mad. I'm glad you're happy. As long as Katelyn and I are the maids of honors!"
"But of course," Hannah said British- like
"Hey," Katelyn said, "Brent asked Jasmine if she would marry him. She said yes. I'm so proud of my big bother- I mean, brother!"
"Awe. I'm invited, right?" Katelyn nodded. We were all laughing until the bell rang, P.E passed and then I had Math, which was boring. I just don't really care for math. It's not my thing.
I walked into History and sighed. The desks were in pairs, and they were assigned. I walked to my desk and waited for my partener to arrive. When I saw my partner, I wanted to go die in a hole. It was Ethan. Just my luck. Just mine.
Annnnd we're done! Tell me if you want them to be this long, or if it needs to be shorter. I wanted to introduce some very big main characters, so no demigods in this chapter. Chelsea's last name is Ride. Thank you to the few people who have reviewed, followed, or favorited. Ok so most of this story will be in the mortals P.O.V but there will be demigods in each chapter if I can sqeeze them in. There will be a special guest next chapter.
