Frank POV
            "Watch it, geek!" Frank heard a boy say. He glanced behind himself just in time to catch the girl he had seen earlier roll her golden eyes.
            "Fraa-aaank..," Percy Jackson sang. "You're zoning out again, buddy."
             "Sorry, ADHD and whatnot," Frank said as he turned back to face his friends. Frank and Percy were sitting at a lunch table outside with Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, and Nico di Angelo.
            They continued talking about how bad the school lunch was, as Leo constructed a helicopter out of pipe cleaners and a couple of other random objects.
             "I said, watch it!" This time Frank and everyone else at his table turned around. The girl was sitting on the ground with a kid, James Mitchell, looking at her.  "Sorry," the girl said. She didn't look scared, as most kids would. She stood and brushed  her bottom off, making some kids laugh.
            "You think you're funny?" James stepped forward pushing her shoulder a little bit. She raised her eyebrows and simply said "Touch me again and you and I will have a problem."
            He pushed her again, but this time, she grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind his back. She stepped on his Achilles' tendon, making him drop to his knees and she pushed him further towards the ground.
           "What did I say?" she said quietly. "Did you not hear me?" James shook his head quickly and she let go. He ran away and she smirked. She started walking away when Nico called her over. "Hazel!" She turned her head towards Frank's table. Hazel. That's a pretty name.
Hazel POV
            "Guys, this is my sister, Hazel," Nico said when she arrived at the table. Some of the kids looked confused. "Half-sister," Hazel offered. "Hazel, this is Percy," he pointed at a tall kid with wind-swept dark hair and sparkly green eyes, who smiled. "--Annabeth," he pointed tall, tan, blonde girl with intelligent grey eyes. She was holding Percy's hand. She nodded. "--Jason," he gestured to a blonde boy with bright blue eyes and a small scar on his lip. He smiled. "--Piper," he nodded to a girl with choppy brown hair and multi colored eyes. She had a blue feather in her hair, and grinned as she caught Hazels eye. "--Leo," he elbowed the boy next to him, who was building a helicopter of some sort. Leo had curly brown hair and twinkling brown eyes."'Sup," he said. Hazel raised one eyebrow.  "--and Frank."
            He pointed to a tall, really tall, Asian guy, with short black hair and dimples. She smiled at him and his cheeks turned slightly pink.
            "Welp, welcome to the Party Table," Leo said. "Would you like to sign in?" He slid a paper over to her. When she looked at it, she noticed that all the kids at the table had signed it, even Nico, despite how non-party like he was. "Sure," she said. Nico handed her a pen, and she signed right under Nico's name. "Okay, you are officially a Weirdo," Percy said. Hazel snorted and replied "I know."
