N POV

I woke up in my dark cabin and almost went back to sleep before realizing that the walls were black and that was the only reason it was dark. I also realized that I missed the conch and would most likely be late for breakfast. I ran to the dining pavilion and sat at my table. Someone had taken the liberty to put my favorite cereal, corn puffs, at my table. I looked around and noticed a new table in the hall. It was currently occupied by the new girl, Hayley. I couldn't help but remember the small bit of conversation I had heard at the stables yesterday and picked up my tray moving to her table. I got a few glances but overall not too many. I sat down and she had an amused look on her face.

"Aren't we not allowed to switch tables?" she asks

"I don't care" I respond with ease and realize I was trying to act cool. What the Hades Nico? Oh well I was just gonna roll with it. She was wearing something similar to yesterday, combat boots with dark denim jeans and a yellow, blue and white plaid shirt which was unbuttoned with a black tank top underneath, the sleeves of the shirt rolled up to her elbows. Her hair was in a fishtail braid. By the time I looked up at her face again she was looking at me, the amused expression still on her face.

"You want something?" she asks with a bit of laughter in her voice.

I leaned back and 'dusted off' my leather jacket.

"No, just thought you could use some company" I say and pick up my spoon

"Well that's very nice but I-"she never got to finish because as soon as I lifted my spoon milk exploded everywhere and suddenly we were both drenched in milk and corn puffs. I noticed the Stoll brothers laughing and high fiving each other in the corner and I glared.

"If you'll excuse me" I say and get up. I walk out of the dining pavilion, embarrassed and drenched in milk.

I walked quickly down to the lake and sat down on a rock burying my face in my hands. Soon enough I heard quiet footsteps approach and then stop right infront of me. I opened my eyes a bit to see combat boots.

"Go away Clarisse" I say miserably.

"Well my names not Clarisse so can I stay?" a voice asks and I sit up to see Hayley standing in front of me with a smirk. I just sighed and she sat down wringing milk out of her hair.

"Sorry about that" I said

"Don't worry about it. It isn't any different than milking a cow. An explosive cow mind you, but still".

I had to crack a smile at that. Suddenly a thought crossed my mind

"Hey can I ask you something?"

"depends" she says suspiciously.

"Why did you avoid camp half-blood for all these years?" I ask

"That isn't really any of your business. All I can say about that is that you really wouldn't want to get acquainted with me after finding out. I'm mean, I lie a lot, I'm secretive and most of the time don't give a crap about anyone. So I suppose you wouldn't want to get acquainted with me anyways. Now if you excuse me I have to go change" she says

I just stare after her until she disappears out of sight.

What was with her?
