DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED BLOOD OF OLYMPUS.


I scrape some of my food into the brazier and walked back to my table sullenly. Catching my eye, Annabeth gives me a tight smile. I nod in return and sit back down at my empty table.

It wouldn't be as bad if Tyson was here. Then I wouldn't be alone. But he's at the bottom of the ocean, helping Dad with something.

Looking down a few tables to the Hades table, I see Nico looking equally miserable. Without Hazel here, he's all alone, too. Across the pavilion, Jason has no one else at the Zeus table, but him and Piper, who's sitting at the head of the Aphrodite table, are mouthing things to each other.

You know what? This is dumb. I'm one of the most powerful demigods in history. I shouldn't be confined to a table all by myself.

I push the table's wooden bench away from me as I stand up, and it makes a loud noise as it scrapes across the marble floor. Everyone goes silent and their eyes go to me.

I say nothing, but walk over to the Hades table and grab Nico by the sleeve of his jacket, pulling him off the bench. He jerks away with an inquisitive look, but stands up and brushes himself off.

I pull him over to Jason's table, pushing him down. "This is Camp Half-Blood's new table. The big three table," I announce, plopping down next to Jason. "I will not sit by myself any longer."

At the front, Chiron raises an eyebrow, but he shrugs and says nothing. The other campers return to their conversations.

Piper gives me a thumbs-up. Will Solace grins and gives me an o.k. sign. Annabeth gives me a slight smirk and a nod. I grin back. I can tell she's proud of me for standing up. They're all just happy that we're not alone anymore.

I am, too.
