Prologue

I've always dreamed big.

When I was little, I dreamed of being really popular.

Of course, it was the opposite.

I've lived a tough past. One I don't want to talk about.

But, like I said, I dream big.

I'va fantasizes of being a Disney princess, finding my own true love. I grew up as a normal little girl.

Then my dad introduced me to Star Wars.

POOF,

There goes the GIRLY fantasies.

I dreamed of being a JEDI! I wanted to go kick DARTH VADER! I wanted to be an intergalactic HERO!

Then came school.

I was thinking, "Hey, this'll be like preschool! But for older kids!"

POOF!

There goes that fantasy.

Sure, kindergarten was easy. I learned all the normal things. I learned how to do math, how to write, how to color in the lines.

I didn't learn how to read. I learned in preschool.

However, I ignored how smart I was. How different it was. I myself soar through everything.

I started making some friends, and started singing. I experienced school lunches. I experienced a big library, not just a tiny one that was more like a CLOSET.

And I experienced my first crush. The boy who I thought was my prince. Or Jedi.

Right there and then, the library became my favorite place.

Then came first grade.

And the beginning of the worst time of my life.

There weren'tAndy bullies in kindergarten.

But, as I became the brightest star, people started taking me down.

For the first time, I experienced the thing known as "reality."

That was when the bullies taught me to hate school.

Fats-forward to fifth grade.

Life was different.

I was at a different school then. I was odder than ever. I only had one real friend, and we quickly grew apart.

I always felt so alone.

And then, I discovered why I was different.

I told my only friend, and we hardly spoke afterwards.

After that, I did everything that I could to make friends.

I sat with a group of girls that I didn't have much in common with. I joined groups. I tried clubs.

I still was the oddball.

In the first day of sixth grade, I had another big dream.

Even though I had a different DNA, I would still fit in.

My dreams were still wrong.

I had no idea what other girls talked about. I was the only choir student in choir who actually ENJOYED it.

In October, I made a friend.

We both were smart, liked Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Star Wars, Ninjago, and reading.

She was the first school friend that I could actually trust.

With her by my side, I gained some self-esteem. The self-esteem that I had lost.

In fact, my taste for the arts led me to three new friends. Who were all a year older than me.

That December, I took a stand for myself.

POOF!

There goes the scared little girl I once was.

I made friends with a guy that semester. After spring break, I made another friend, too. A girl this time.

Near the end of the school year, I befriended a seventh grader and two eighth graders.

I reported all the mean girls to my teachers, and they took care of it.

I actually had a happy memory of school.

Fast-forward to present time.

I still don't like school, but, hey! Who doesn't?!

The eighth graders are in high school, and me and the seventh grader-now an eighth grader-have drifted apart.

I'm still friends with the others though.

I'm becoming a pretty good acquaintance of another girl. We both like Harry Potter, science, art, Theater, and asdf movie.

It turns out that one of my eighth grade friends is known on here as TheShinyAmpharos12.5. How cool is that?!

I dreamed of being a demigod, too.

Before that, when I had become a Sonic fan, I dreamed of meeting Sonic.

But I wanted an adventure with Percy.

I wanted to fly with Leo.

I wanted to hang out with Hazel.

I wanted to discuss books with Annabeth.

I wanted to talk to Piper.

I wanted to clash swords with Frank.

I wanted to go to camp.

And, most of all, I wanted to kiss Nico.

But I thought that it was all just another fantasy.

A fantasy that would never come true.

So, I expected seventh grade to be normal.

Well, as normal as you can get when you're me.

Like, MORTAL normal.

DEFINITELY not demigod normal.


CUT!

BTW, asdf movie is HILARIOUS!

"What are you doing?!"

"I'M PUNCHING YOUR SALAD!"

"I like trains."

"*insert train here*

And LOADS more.

"MINE TURTLE!"

"Hello!"

"*BOOM*"

And, yes, that is all true.

I really grew up on Princess fantasies.

But then my dad was like, "Hey, I'm gonna watch Star Wars!" one night.

I sat behind the couch while playing with a freaking tube of TOOTHPASTE, believe it or not.

Oy.

Life is complicated.

Nico: This is a CRAZED story.

Me: Have you forgotten that I, good sir, am crazed?,
