I woke up.. in the air? It was still blurry, and a teenage boy about 15-16 with sandy golden-ish hair, golden eyes, well, it seems like King Midas touched him or something. Waking up to a random stranger's knees', I screamed. I could've sworn he was blushing or his face was really red because he's allergic to my clothes or something. Or was he sick? "Uh... W-Who are you?"

That man's face was red like his face was going to explode. "Oh.. Hey.. Um.."

I also heard a familiar voice. "Don't worry. We'll explain once we reach Camp"

I literally have a million questions up my mind. "Wait WHAT?!?? How the HECK are we in the sky?!?"

There was that silent guy in the corner. "We'll explain everything later."

I glared at him. They're not surprised about that.. Pegasus? Right there? I didn't realize I'm still laying on that golden boy's knees. "Uh. Are you sick or something? Your face is like, about to explode. Oh and sorry." I quickly sat down on the chariot.

Well. That dude's face just got 50 shades redder. "Oh, I'm fine. Just a bit hot." he quickly said.

"Are you sure you're not sick? Hey, Una. Does Golden Boy usually turn red? Sorry, dunno his name."

"PFFFFT. Golden boy?" She started laughing hysterically. "Why don't you introduce yourself, Jay?"

"Uh okay.. Hi. I'm Jay. Nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand to shake.

"Uh, hey". I'm not a handshake person, so we high-fived instead. I'm still confused. Pegasus? Magic? What. The. Heck. Atleast I enjoy Jay's company. He isn't that red anymore, he's pink. He described all- or most of the stuff. Apparently I'm a demi-god? What. "Hey, Una. Where are we going again?"

"Camp Half-Blood. It's the only safe place for a demi-god. It's disguised as a strawberry farm, and the mist is blocking somesruff from the mortal's eyes."

Camp Half-Blood? That sounds familiar.. Oh well..

Anyways, we made it to Camp Half-Blood. It was so beautiful. A bunch of satyrs were prancing around, people were around the campfire, wow.

Jay stared at me and smiled. "Hey, welcome to your new home Your guide, Piper should be here soon."

That name was familiar. "Wait. Piper MCLEAN?"

"Uh yeah. How do you know?"

I saw a familiar face in the back. "Claire?! Oh my gods, Claire! Long time no see!"

"Wow, you've gotten way prettier than me in the last few years."

"What do you mean? You're way more prettier than me! I co-"

Then Jay interrupted. "Okay, enough girl talk. But you guys know each other? How?"

Well, I'm not secure saying it but Jay is nice. I feel like I shouldn't lie. "Oh. Our fathers are friends. Her dad is an actor, and mine is a model."

Jay was silent for a moment. "That's cool."

And then I remembered something. "Anyone have a phone? I need to call my model agency."

Piper handed me a phone. "Sorry, if the design of thia phone is too complex, just tell me the number so I can type it in. It's designed by  Leo, a kid in the Hephaestus cabin."

Jay had that embarrassed look on his face. "Y-you're a model? B-"

"Yeah, my dad is rich. But I don't freeload off of him. We aren't close.. I don't like modeling, but that's the only job that I can find that pays well." Then I remembered something. "Wait.. when you said Leo, do you mean Leo Valdez?"

Piper's color changing eyes changed into a dark, serious green. "How do you know?"

I couldn't lie to Piper, she was my best friend since grade school. "...Well I-"
