Author's Note: Play the vid!! I was listening to this and I just had to put this in here! Hope you enjoy! ( ugh, too many exclamation points..)
      If you're reading this, I guess you like prying into people's personal lives. I obviously can't stop you so I might as well tell you things about me.
      My name is Micah Nikaris. I am 16 years old and I go to Undine High School in California. I live with my mom, Andrea Potus, newly married to, my stepdad, Mark Potus, and my younger stepsister, Rosalie Potus. My real dad left my mom before I was born. All I have is a sand dollar necklace from him. Talk about the W.M.A.F! (World's most absent father!) I don't do much, I read, watch TV, draw, eat, sleep, and go to school like any normal person. I used to think that life is boring and it's the same routine day after day, that there are no princesses, princes, monsters or demons, just the rich, the poor, and in between. That was what I kept thinking, until this happened.
      It was Tuesday, in May, and like most Tuesdays in my school, I was late for my fifth period, science. On Tuesdays we run and the P.E. coaches always let us out late. What's worse is that my classroom, room D7, is on the other side of the school! I was just exiting the football field when the late bell rang. I was going to my class, so I considered the two ways I could walk. I could cut through the garden, to the bungalows and to my class, or I could take the more scenic route, through the auditorium, through the quad, into the hallway to the library, and through the garden, then following the short way. I usually take the shorter route, but something was pulling me to use the longer route. I was already late, and I needed a break. I figured, " Why not?" as I started to walk through the auditorium.

      I was walking through the hallway past some empty classrooms. As I reached the library door I heard crying. I would usually ignore it, but curiosity got the better of me.
      "I don't care if you had extra projects! You were supposed to do my homework yesterday. You didn't, so now you face the consequences." A female voice said.
       "No! Please! Help!" Another voice cried.
       "No one can help you nerd!" The mean girl voice cackled. There was a  "SNIP!" then more crying. That was when I realized whose voice was crying. It was Rosalie's!
      Without thinking, I jumped inside the room. I saw Kelli, the cheer captain, and the biggest girl bully in the school. I also saw her henchwomen. Adara and Stella, her co-captains, and Sandra and Lyla for extra support. Like a vicious wolf pack, they've surrounded their prey. My little stepsister Rosalie was on the floor, crying, with chopped up short hair. Adara is holding scissors.
*Flashback*
      When I was a kid, I was fierce. I was bullied when I was small and I guess I watched too many violent shows, because I got fed up with my bullies. I was drinking water from the water fountain and the bullies pushed my head into the water. I was so mad I couldn't think. A wave roared in my ears. The bullies were on the floor, the fountain was broken, and everything was soaking wet. Except me. After that, I learned that I had anger management issues, triggered by people. In a few years, I learned to make my "one-way wall." I had "friends," people who I knew but they didn't know me. At least, the real me. I became invisible, and as much as I wanted to hang out with other people, it was for the best.
*End of flashback*
      I was fuming with anger. Kelli saw me and smirked.
      "Well, well, well, if it isn't the big sis ready to save the day?" Kelli snapped and Sandra and Lyla pushed me to the ground and held me there. Adara was about to cut my hair too, but she suddenly stopped.  
      "Kelli, I can't do it, she smells different now, not human." Adara said.
      "What?! What does she smell like?" Kelli exclaimed. Grr, I couldn't take it anymore! Who do they think they are?! Doing this to innocent people!
      " Like... The sea." Adara replied. I closed my eyes. I could feel the water in the pipes above us, forced to forever flow in only one way, not having a choice on where to go. It wanted to be free, just like I did. So I felt for it, pulled, and granted its wish.

      I was the only one standing. Everything else was on the floor. I looked at Rosalie. She wasn't hurt, just unconscious. I took a quick look at Kelli and held back a scream. What was she?! Kelli's body was fine but she had flaming red hair, and one metal leg and one donkey leg?! Adara and Stella looked like her too. What was going on?! I ran out of the school, took a bus, and went to the only place I felt safe, the Beach.

      I sat down on the wet sand, not caring about ruining my new jeans. I loved just looking out at the sea, being unpredictable, wild and free. Terrible, scary, and beautiful at the same time. The salty air, the cold breeze, and the clear air calms me down.
       I started to hum my favorite song while fingering the sand dollar necklace. When I was done, I noticed someone sitting next to me smiling. He had light brown hair, a hawaiian polo, and bermuda shorts.
     "You have a beautiful voice." he said, " Just like your mother. She used to sing all the time whenever I saw her, but when I left, she never sang again." I couldn't believe it. Was he..?
     "Dad?" I asked in bewilderment. He nodded.
     " I know you have a lot of questions, but I cannot answer them now. Go to this place. I have everything ready for you." He handed me a weathered paper that said:
Camp Half-Blood, Long Island, NY, Half-Blood Hill, Farm Road, 3.141
    "Follow the trident, go over the hill, and they will answer all of your questions." He said. A floating, glowing trident appeared before me.
    "Alright." I agreed, as I left for "Camp Half-Blood."
