CHAPTER ONE

A new kid in school and I didn't know anything about him?

Hello fellow reader, if you are reading this it must mean you are a human that thinks all of which I'm about to say is completely science fiction and made up.

But of course if you are a demigod you should take this as a warning to save yourself from all the trouble you are about to get into, taking life head on, or probably a dangerous quest that you may never come back alive and probably die.

Now that the warning is settled, let's start by introducing myself. I'm Danny...

Yeah I know what you all must be thinking ''Hey what's your full name?'', well I don't really know because I didn't get to know my parents since my mom died when I was born and my dad is missing like from the face of the earth, no one really knows who I am and no records of who are my parents either. That's what people say, anyway.

But at least there's one thing I know from myself, I am not a normal kid. I was adopted when I was 3 years old by a nice couple, that are lawyers, so that pretty much covers all the damage I have covered in the years, which I will explain later on.

I'm 15 years old almost 16 in a couple of days, I have dark brown hair, skin color between light and dark color; it's like getting sun burned and the tan stays forever, I'm as tall as 5.9 and always wear shorts with any t-shirt that I have, mostly green and blue since those are my favorite colors and some crocs, but I use Nike running shoes for school. I'm in the 11 grade and my school doesn't have a strict uniform code so you can wear anything you want as long as it's not really, really short or really, really insulting to others.

I live in New York, a really crowded place like every day of the year and this was a regular school day like every day, I go to school, I take the classes trying to stay awake and make sure I don't fall asleep or I will get detention again or get kicked out for at least a couple of days which is the least of my worries cause I really don't like school and I got some bad grades. For me, school is boring, the only thing I'm looking up to is recess and when the last class ends so I can at least go home or talk to my friends.

Well today started normal, I walked from home to the school bus which only takes 20 min from my home, the driver seems to ignore my neighborhood he just passes it and he expects me to walk all the way out to the bus stop which is fine by me because I know how the driver must feel to drive all the kids to school and back to their homes again with all the screaming and the traffic it gets to your head and gets you angry and tired of your driver job.

The weird thing was that a kid that I never saw before got on the bus and sat behind me but no one was even curious who this kid was, it was almost like they all knew him.

He wore long army pants, a weird Iron Maiden t-shirt with the word ''Peace'' on the back, he looked about 16 or 17 years with his extremely short beard, didn't look like he was going to cut it off, he had short dark hair covered by his hood, he had crutches like some sort of natural bone weakness and his color tone was light dark.

I asked one of my classmates '' Who's the kid with the crutches?'', he replied ''That's Carlos one our classmates that has been here for 11 years. Why you asking?''. ''I forgot who he was for a second'' I lied thinking it was all a game against me but I asked other classmates and they said the same thing, I just played along.

When I got out of the bus the kid seemed to follow me to all my classes and no one seems to be curious who this kid was, it was like he really was 11 years of school with us and I really had ignored him that long? No, I don't think so; I'm not that kind of person. The next class was history class, one of the classes I did like other than physical education of course.

The chapter was Greek mythology and how Greece came to be, the teacher Mr. Stewart was telling us how the titans and gods came, the great wars, and creation on the Greek people point of view. For me this was very interesting, lots of action, wars, gods, powers, legends, mythological beings and stuff like that, so I didn't had to fight myself to stay awake.

When recess came Carlos sat alone on the last empty table far from anyone, I just did what another kid would have done, and I join him and try to start a conversation.
