DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON! RICK RIORDAN DOES!

(PRETTY EASY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE IS...)

So... I may or may not have found Will and Nico kissing. I'm the school match-maker, Ben. Don't laugh. I'm a boy. Who cares? I've always loved the lovey-dovey stuff. Except dyslexia gets in the way of reading love stories. Ugh. Anyways, I was in the library, looking through the shelves. By that it means I was literally looking through the books to the small sitting area. The library was deserted except for me and a two boys in the sitting area. And they were kissing. Kissing! Gay romance. I'm not against it, but I've already decided that Will should be with my step-sister, Jane. They are both rays of sunshine. Jane has light brown and blonde hair and perfect blue eyes. Will also has blue eyes, but golden blonde hair. Nico should go well with Linn, who always wears black. Nothing to extreme though. She has more soft black than punk black. No make-up. Long soft black hair. My matches were always perfect for each other. Speaking of matches, I should get my own girlfriend. I would choose Linn, but she'll be paired with Nico soon, and I don't really like black anyways. Gold is better. Sorta like Will's hair. And-

"Will?" Nico said. I almost jumped in surprise, since I was so deep in thought. ADHD for you.

"Yeah Death Boy?" Will replied. Death boy? Really odd nickname. Maybe I should get a nickname for myself and my sister. Then maybe the school. Then-

Oops. ADHD. again.

"I think someone's watching us." Nico said. I froze. Did he notice me?

"It's no one Death Boy. You're nerves are just up." Will said. I almost sighed in relief. But I knew that would blow my cover. If I would be deemed school matchmaker, I would have to make sure everyone has their perfect match. Which meant that Solangelo had to break up.

TIME SKIP TO LUNCH

Jane and Linn both confessed that they had crushes on Will and Nico. It was surprisingly simple. The plan would hopefully be as simple. As I watched Solangelo come into the cafeteria, all eyes turned to them. I had persuaded the whole school to do it. The couple stopped and stared back. Then Nico gave very single person the death glare. I could feel the death in the air. There was death in- Ugh. I need to stop my thoughts from wandering off. I had studied Nico for so long now. His weakness is the name 'Bianca.' I have no idea why, he just gets a really far-away look and looks as if he may cry. Anyways, the cafeteria turned back to themselves. The stares should make Will and Nico uncomfortable. Key word: should. They shrugged it off and sat at their usual table. Makes no sense. They talked more and I saw them pointing at a few children throughout the crowd. Including me. All of them had either dyslexia or ADHD. Or both. Then the bell rang. I discreetly walked over to them and heard several words.

"Ben... Amanda... half-bloods... Aphrodite." Nico said. Will nodded and they smiled before kissing. What in the world was a half-blood? And I think Aphrodite was a greek goddess. The goddess of... love? Yeah. Love and beauty. Why would they talk about that?

TIME SKIP TO... GREEK

Greek. I always liked greek. It was surprisingly easy to read and understand the peculiar language. The top students were Nico, Will, me, and Jane. I am pretty sure Linn's also good at greek. My new favorite goddess is Aphrodite, because why not? Jane's favorite is Apollo. Anyways, Nico and Will got up after our teacher said something. Then they started talking.

"Anyone understand me? If you do can you come up here?" Will said. I slowly got up and so did Jane. 

"How much do you know about Greek mythology?" Nico said. 

'A lot,'I thought. But why should I tell them that? 

"Lots." Jane said in her cheery tone. But I could see that she was weary of the two.

"Well... they're real." Will said. Me and Jane stared for a second. Then we laughed our heads off.

"It's true! Your dad, Jane, is Apollo! And Ben! Your mom... may be Aphrodite? Jane is definitely my half-sister though." Will said.

"Ok... why am I supposed I believe you when you could be lying to us for some strange reason? You could be crazy for all we know!" Jane asked cautiously.

"Meet us at Delphi Strawberry Fields after school. Our friends will prove that you're demigods." they said. I nodded in agreement and with that, greek was over.

TIME SKIP TO AFTER SCHOOL

Delphi Strawberry Fields. Not strawberry fields. Well, yes there are fields for strawberries but there is also a lava wall, cabins, and kids. All ranging from somewhere between 8 - 18. Maybe some people are 20. I spotted Will and Nico walking over to us with two people. The man had Sea-green eyes filled with pure delight and raven-black hair that looked like he had just taken a walk on the beach. It was messy in a good way. The girl, I almost fell head over heels for. But I restrained myself. She had beautiful blonde hair and striking grey eyes. Both of them had shattered looks, like glass, unable to be fixed.

"Hey Ben and Jane! This is Percy," Percy waved "and Annabeth," Annabeth studied us and nodded "and they are children of Poseidon and Athena."

"Poseidon and Athena? Aren't they supposed to be fighting?" Jane asked curiously.

"Nah. We're engaged. I'd never fight with Wise Girl." Percy said. Annabeth smiled at him, and they both seemed to radiate pure love. Cute. 

"Um... the whole demigod business?" I asked. Percy walked us into camp, where I saw kids coming out of cabins. We stopped at a beach.

"Nico? Why can't you just do your death thing?" Annabeth asked.

"Because... uh..." Nico sputtered. Will shot him a look.

"Doctor's orders." He said. Nico sighed and beckoned to Percy.

Suddenly, water flew up and surrounded us. Percy was concentrating, and he made scenes of dolphins and horses. Then he sent all the water back.

"Convinced now?" He asked. Jane nodded hesitantly. I did too. We walked back to the cabins. Just in time for the campfire! I had no idea what it was. Before I could ask Percy, Annabeth asked me something.

"Do you have a phone?" She asked. I nodded, and she asked if I could call my dad. I dialed his number and called.

"What is it Ben? Where are you?" He asked frantically. Annabeth took the phone and explained some stuff to him. He seemed to relax.

"Stay there Ben, alright? And protect Jane." He said before hanging up. Then Nico came.

"You can't have a phone. It attracts monsters." He said. Oh. That was a problem. I kept it anyways. I'll wait for the right time to get rid of it. Off to the campfire!

TIME SKIP TO CAMPFIRE

 Chiron, a centaur, was there! And they all told the story of the war against Kronos. I now knew all about Percy Jackson and Annabeth, along with Luke Castellan and the other fallen warriors. Then they told the story of the war against Gaia. I really disliked Hera. Suddenly, the story stopped. Everyone looked at me and Jane. I looked at Jane. Above her head was a glowing symbol. Apollo. I looked above me. It was Aphrodite. The dove was outlined in a pink color, which I appreciated. Chiron spoke.

"All hail Ben and Jane Kinley, son of Aphrodite and daughter of Apollo."

And that's how I met Solangelo. And maybe Percabeth too.
