   As if I wasn't having a bad week already, a group of teens crashed on the parking lot of my apartment complex. As I had already destroyed my parent's car driving Apollo and his friend Meg McAffrey to camp Half Blood, so those people did not destroy the already destroyed car. The people who had crashed looked a bit bewildered. They looked like supermodels! The girl who got up first had blond hair and brown eyes, as opposed to the others, who had blue eyes. Two had the same jet-black hair and silver-blue eyes, so I guessed they were brother and sister. Though the boy looked murderous.

A boy taller than the rest had a close shaved head and rugged features. He was older than the rest of the group. One of the boys had strawberry blond hair and periwinkle eyes. He looked like he would be a gamer and very mischievous. Another brother and sister had startling teal eyes and dark hair. A boy with artfully messy blond hair, ice blue eyes, and a crooked grin stood next to the blond girl.

Most of them looked older than the blond girl, but she was obviously the leader. They were speaking to each other in this weird language and didn't notice him. He croaked, "Hello?"

They turned around and saw him. The creepy one started to say something but then apparently remembered something, so stopped. The blond girl looked at each one for approval then said, "Hello. I'm Sophie Foster, this is Tam Song, Linh Song, Dex Dizznee, Fitz Vacker, Biana Vacker, Wilye Ednal, and Keefe Sencen. Sorry to, ah, fall here. May I ask, where are we?"

"Manhattan", I answered plainly. Sophie seemed surprised, like that wasn't supposed to be the answer.

"How did you fall from the sky?" I asked.

"Were Elves, and it's called teleporting." she answered.

I started laughing. ELVES? Ha! They must be delusional.

She must have sensed the reason for my hysterical behavior.

"No. We're quite real. And the elves, like the ones who work in Santa's Workshop are not real," said Sophie.

"Πρέπει να είναι τρελοί (they must be insane)" I said to myself in Greek, so they wouldn't understand me.

"Δεν είμαστε τρελοί (we are not insane)" said Sophie, in a flawless imitation of the words.

My jaw dropped. "How did you say that?"

" Mira ingenium velis (you'd be surprised by my talents)" she replied.

"Hold Up!" I said, putting my hands up in a time out sign, "So you guys are real-"

"Yes" she said, obviously looking annoyed.

"- and- "

"Something strange is going on since we aren't supposed to be able to be here." They finished for him.

"Come on", I said, "let's talk inside."

They nodded and we walked to my apartment, where my mother would be waiting.
