"The most important things in life aren't things."- My mother, seriously.

Enjoy! (I tried to put a smiley face but they don't accept these)

8:25- The Big House

This morning I learned a lot of new things. For starters, I learned that the Olympian gods are alive and in living color.

Call me crazy if you will but as psycho as this sound its true. Let me tell you how it all happened…

Flashback

"ARE YOU HIGH?! THRE'S NO SUCH THING AS OLYMPIAN GODS, ITS NOT SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS PEOPLE!" I yelled. About 5 seconds ago some old dude named Chiron told me that the twelve Olympian gods are real.

Yeah, and Michael Jackson is dancing in the street right now doing the moonwalk. Give me a break.

"It's true. There real, and your father's one of them." Nico said. Oh great, he's high too. Wonderful.

"You really except me to believe all this crap?" I asked him. As soon as I said that two teenagers walked in the room. I noticed they were holding hands. Great, lovebirds.

"Chiron Travis is in the lake skin-" the boy said. He stopped when he saw me.

"Oh, hi. New camper?" he asked Chiron. Chiron nodded.

"Yes, she's still getting used to the fact that the gods were real." He said. Percy just nodded like he was used to this. He kept on starring me down.

"Um, do you mind? Keep staring at me like that and ill get a retraining order against you." I said. Nico laughed, so did the boy. The blonde chick kept staring at me, as if analyzing how my brain worked.

"You too blonde, stop starring." I said. She smiled.

"Sorry." She said even though she didn't sound sorry at all. "You do have a name right?"

"Yes. Its keep being rude and my fist is going up your-" I said but Nico cut me off.

"Her name's Katherine Tyler." He said. I frowned.

"Call me Kit." I said.

"Nice too meet you Kit im Percy. Percy Jackson." Percy said. My jaw dropped.

"No way. You're the famous Percy Nico's always talking about." He laughed.

"Wait, he's always talking about me?" Percy asked. Nico blushed.

"Yeah, he said how your like the best thing since microwave ovens, and how your-" I said before Nico interrupted.

"Anyway, Chiron do you have any idea who her parent might be?" He asked. Chiron looked as he was trying to solve a difficult math problem.

"She might be a daughter of Athena or... Apollo." He determined. What were they talking about?

"What do you mean I might be a daughter of Apollo?" I asked. Every one of them exchanged glances that seamed to read 'Its time'.

The next 40 minutes would change my life forever.

End Flashback

Yeah, so that's pretty much how it all went down. Other moments that occurred after that was Annabeth tackling me down after I said she looked like Big Bird. Also I fainted after I received my sign from (wait for it): Apollo. In case you don't know what that means, im going to put this in light terms. My long lost father that my (dead) mother always talked about was (unlike her) alive. Want to know what the funny thing was?

I had no love for him what so ever. To heck with him.

8:35- The Big House

After me and Nico & Company's little chat, Nico left me alone to talk to Chiron while Percy and Annabeth (I still call her blonde though) went somewhere. Probably to make-out or something.

Gross.

Anyway after what felt like forever he returned.

"How do you feel?" he asked. I looked at him, his eyes filled with concern.

"Fine." I lied. "Just great." I stared at me.

"Seriously Kit what's wrong?" he asked. I looked away from him.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked. He didn't answer immediately.

"Because…I know how you feel." He decided.

We stayed in silence for awhile. I really didn't feel like taking to anyone, especially after I just lost my mom. How could Henry do that? Why would anyone kill an innocent lady like her? My mom was the best person in the world, ever. I just can't believe she's-

"Kit. Are you crying?" Nico asked. I was going to answer him but I felt a hot stream of water roll down the side of my face. I was crying. Why?

Don't answer that, I don't want to know the answer.

I sniffled. "No." I said. Then something else occurred to me.

"Nico, who's your father?" I asked. His eyes dimmed with sadness.

"Hades." He whispered.

"The god of the dead?" I asked. He nodded.

I couldn't believe it. Scratch that, I could believe it. Hades was the god of the dead, meaning he probably was really dark spirited…just like Nico. I looked back at him. He looked really sad, I mean heartbroken sad. The dude looked like he could use somebody…someone like me.

I stood up and reached out my hand. Before Percy left he was telling me about this place down by the Camp's lake. The Pier I think.

"Come with me." I said. He looked up confused.

"Where you going?" he asked.

"Where going to the pier." I said. Now he looked really confused.

"Who-" he started but I cut him off.

"Percy told me. Now come on, were burning daylight." I said. He grabbed my hand and smiled.

"You always have the act of surprise against me Tyler." He said. "Try to take that as a compliment kay?" I laughed and playfully punched him.

"Sure." I said.

10:03- The Camp Pier

After dinner, Nico and I deiced to go back to the pier for awhile. Awhile turned out to be 4 hours. We just sat there, looked up at the stars and talked like we've known each other forever. To me it felt like we did.

Anyway, back to our current conversation.

"So, how long have you been here?" I asked. He kept his gaze to the stars.

"Four years and a half." He answered. Whoa, he's practically an old timer. Cool.

"So, you pretty much know the camp inside out right?" I asked. He laughed and shook his head.

"That my friend is impossible. I don't think Chiron even knows everything about this camp, and he's been here longer than anyone." Nico said.

"What's so special about it though?" I asked.

"You have a lot of questions you know" he said. I pinched him. Hard.

"Ouch! I was just-"

"Just answer the question you bastard." I said.

"Fine, but you owe me." He said. "I don't know Kit it's just, this camp has been my home for awhile, and I grown attached to it. I really love this place." He said. Then he looked me in the eyes, and for a minute my heart skipped a beat. His gaze was paralyzing, literally.

"I think you might love it here to Kit, unless you want to go home." He said. My heart sank. What home? My home is with some psycho who killed my mother. What kind of home is that?

"Kit, are you okay?" he asked for the 10 millionth time.

"Can you please stop asking me that?" I yelled. He seemed shocked.

"Maybe I will if you tell me what's up with you." He said. It took all my willpower to look away from his dark eyes.

"It's none of your business." I said.

"Kit, im your best friend remember?" he asked. "You can tell me anything." Gods, it hurt so much to keep a secret from Nico.

"There some things I can't tell you." I whispered. I was literally on the verge of crying.

"Kit-"

"Please drop it." I said. My voice sounded weak and defeated, which Nico seemed to pick up.

"Kit, can I say something?" he asked.

"Sure." I said. Any question would be better than dealing with this.

"What do you care about?" he asked. What's that supposed to mean?

"What do you mean?" I asked him. Seriously, I wasn't following him.

"What things in life do you care about?" he asked. Seriously what's up with the deep physiologic questions, im not a human nature professor you know? I really didn't know how to answer his question, but then something came into my head. An old quote my mom used to tell me.

"Nico, sometimes the most important things in life aren't things." I said.

"Are you saying like people?" he asked. I smiled.

"Yes, that's what im saying exactly. For example." I stared. "You." He looked up confused.

"Me?" he asked. I laughed. Was it so hard for him to accept that people actually care about him?

"Yes you Nico. Like you said before, you're my best friend, and I really care for you." I said. He looked away and smiled.

"Ditto." He said.

From that night on we spent every night underneath the stars. Just the two of us.

I might actually like this place…

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
