Frank's POV

" I. AM. NOT. YOUR. ENEMY." We were breathing heavy; the battle took a lot out of our energy. But finally, it was over. I was done. The battle was over, and I was glad that it hadn't lasted a second longer. A grin spread across my face as my seemingly fearless opponent was defeated. We seemed to stare at each other for a while, when she finally looked up and smirked. My grin turned into a frown. "Clarisse, I've told you before. I didn't want this. I didn't want any of this."

"Save your miserable excuses for later." She spat as I moved my sword away. I barely used it anyway, my hands were so used to my bow and arrows, it didn't quite feel right. But how I managed to defeat her, even I was at lost for words. "It's not something Ares' cabin head counselor would do...but, then again, you're a child of Mars." I scowled, and stepped away as she retrieved her sword.

"I didn't want to be head counselor Clarisse" I shook my head. "I've told you before, Chiron told me to"

She turned to me mockingly, "To maintain peace between both cabins-Woohoo! Does it look I care? Us Ares' kids hate peace if you haven't noticed"

I was about to go on when a familiar voice interrupted me. Both of us turned to see Percy and what looked like Annabeth walk up. "Hey, pal, I heard you shout from all the way over there. What's going on?" Percy grinned, than frowned at Clarisse. Friendly, Percy wrapped his arms around my neck. "You didn't try to kill my friend here did you? Cause I don't feel like messing with the toilets again" I didn't know what he meant, but it ticked off Clarisse even more - if that was possible.

"Stay away Kelp-head. Who's your friend here? Annabeth's twin? Haven't heard of her before" Clarisse spat. I looked at them questionably, also interested in his other lady friend. surprisingly, Percy had a lot of those.

"Yeah, who is she? She's pretty quiet" I added, smiling welcoming, for she was decent looking. Keep your eyes on your own lady-friend, Frank, I thought. I've got Hazel now. Can't risk anything.

"I can hear you," She said warily, seemingly as though she had spat. I prayed that she wasn't another daughter of Ares. The last thing I needed was another Clarisse around. "My name's-"

"And this is..." Percy interrupted, taking his hand off my neck and placing it on her shoulder. He smiled, using his free hand to pat his leg as if imitating a drumroll. Suddenly he frowned. "A-A-Um...Ar...Ariella?"

"Amara..." She said shaking her head. "And don't make me elbow you in the gut again"

"Feisty" Percy nodded. "Sure is your type Frank"

"Sure" I replied sarcastically, going along. "I'll make sure to write a love letter"

Clarisse pretended to choke, then spat, "UGH. I'm leaving. See you at dinner... Head Counselor..."

I sighed, trying to erase the memory of the fight away. "So that's what it was about, huh?" Percy asked. "You challenged Clarisse to a fight. Pretty feisty yourself, my man"

"I didn't challenge her. Chiron made me." I explained. Percy chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. You guys would totally match up together." Percy pushed Amara closer to me, and I sighed. Instinctively she walked away.

To change the subject and save the poor girl from more awkward moves from Percy, I asked, "So you showing her around?"

"Yup," Percy replied, "I was just about to show her your favorite buddy, Leo"

"I'm not mad at him Perce" I rolled my eyes. He game a look, and I sighed. "Look, yes, he can kill me an instance if I'm not careful, but he still is my friend"

"Okay," Percy gave up. "Well, I'll head to-"

We were interrupted as an oil-filth Leo popped out of nowhere. "Hey Frank," He said out breath. "Have you seen Hazel? She wanted me to fix her lighting and plumbing in the bathroom. I didn't see her in her cabin. Wondering if you have seen her by any chance."

"Um.. I saw her this morning for breakfast. We...had this date later tonight" I replied, only now remembering the date.

"Oh..." He sighed, wiping the sweat off his forehead. He looked at Amara. "Who-Who's this? I thought it was Annabeth at first..."

"My name's Amara. I...didn't know ancient Greeks had plumbers and electricians..." She frowned, and the three of us couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, I'm sure Leo'd love being a plumber. Many girls could stare at his skinny ass all the time." I joked, and Percy and Leo went into a frenzy of laughter.

"Yes, yes I do," Leo went on. "Partly why I agreed to help Hazel with her plumbing was because of that" I frowned and so did Percy, but Leo continued to laugh, like it was okay. He stopped awkwardly and pursed his lips. "I didn't mean it like that" He said scratching the back of his neck.

"Whatever" I muttered, letting it slide. "Why don't we all show you around, Amara?"

She stared at me for a moment. "...Sure, I guess."

"Well, let's get on with it than. And Amelia, don't take them so seriously. They are really immature..." Percy nodded sympathetically. "Unlike them, I'm the only one you can trust"

Leo snorted. "Yeah, whatever.. We all know why Annabeth nicknamed you seaweed brain."

"It's Amara, and I think the only one I can trust right now is myself" Amara replied, and I couldn't help but smirk.

"Oooooh, feisty" Leo nodded. "I like it. Too bad she's not my type. Frank, you?"

"I have my own, Leo" I sighed. "I've got Hazel, remember?"

"That didn't really answer his question..." Amara smiled, facing me. Her grey eyes bored into mine, and it reminded me of when we first met Annabeth. Fierce and bold.

I smirked, looking away. The two boys high-fived her, while I bit my lip. I looked up and smiled as we walked down towards the cabins. "We'll see about that..." I said jokingly, just enough for them to hear. Leo turned arouns and smiled large.

"Ooooh," He cooed. "Where's my popcorn machine? I love me some drama"
