I can't believe only Anna Redfern and PJATOROCKS09 noticed that I named Diana after Artemis's Roman form. I also named Cassie after Cassandra, from Greek myths, and Bree after Bree Tanner, who even has her own Twilight "novella". (Seriously, why does Stephanie Meyer use such fancy names? "Novella" and "saga", really?)

Thanks to everyone that reviewed!

In Math class...

"Please clear your desk for the test. You may have out one pencil."

The class groaned.

"Please, Athena, let me do well." I muttered "Please, please, please?"

The teacher, Mr. Moebius walked around the room distributing tests.

I made one last silent plea to Athena before starting.

1) Solve for x.

2(x+7)-3=18-3

Okay, that wasn't so bad. It was, um, 3, right?

Ok, breathe. Next question.

2) Evaluate.

(7n+3n-4)-(5+3n)

What? I reread the question over and over again before finally giving up.

Nervously, I wrote a random answer down. The rest of the test passed the same way.

Finally, the teacher told us to switch tests with a neighbor for grading. I turned to hand my test to the guy next to me… and froze.

He had curly brown hair, which could be covering up horns. His jeans were baggy enough to possibly cover up goat legs.

He looked at me strangely "You okay?"

"Fine." I mumbled, bending down to search my backpack for a red pen.

I didn't find one.

"Styx." I cursed. "Hermes, give it back! I know I put it in there this morning!"

There was no answer.

The girl behind me watched me curiously (or maybe nervously). "Do you want to borrow one of my pens?"

"What? Oh, thanks." I took the pen from her and carefully uncapped it. It was just a regular pen. Good.

The teacher started reading out answers.

I got more and more nervous. None of the answers were sounding familiar.

Finally, I got my test back. Written at the top, in bright red ink, was this:

+9/25

"Athena! Why?" suddenly, I gasped "It's because of percabeth, isn't it? You decided to punish me for supporting it!"

I wanted to shove the test deep into the black hole known as my backpack.

Athena must have been feeling sorry for me, because then the teacher said "This test doesn't count for a grade. I just want to see what you know so far."

I sighed in relief.

As Mr. Moebius recollected the tests, I pulled out a copy of The Battle of the Labyrinth. Of course, it was signed by Rick Riordan, just like the rest of the books on my desk at home.

I skimmed through the best parts before reaching…

the sacred page 203

I traced the words carefully, in awe and reread it over and over to myself, even though I'd already memorized it long ago.

"Take that, Athena." I whispered, which wasn't going to help my math grade.

I could just imagine Athena glaring at me from Olympus.

Review! Oh, and the first person to give me the correct values of x and n in the above problems will get a special shout out in the next chapter! (blame the Athena in me for making you do math on a weekend)

P.S. One reviewer asked me to introduce a Hunger Games addict. While I LOVE The Hunger Games, it's not a very common series. So what do you guys think?

P.P.S. If I do that, I might also have people addicted to Maximum Ride, The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, etc. Or should they be different stories?
