A/N Heya! Alex's POV again. I hope you enjoy!
Apparently I wasn't the only one who found Theo attractive. Daughters of mainly Aphrodite and Ares gave me these looks of intense envy. I guess they never had any luck. He seemed to nice for them. he showed me around the whole camp, never breaking his warm smile. Not even when a young satyr tried to eat his shoe.
After the tour, we headed to dinner. Because I was undetermined, I was allowed to sit at any table I chose to sit at. Naturally, I sat next to Theo. I didn't really know any of the other campers yet. There was a chalice that gave you whatever beverage you wished to drink. I chose hot apple cider. It was a strange choice for a hot day, but it reminded me of home.
Then people went up to burn food as a tribute to their godly parents. I awkwardly walked up there, praying for a sign. I heard silverware clatter to the ground and then laughter from many of the tables.
"HA! The new chick is a mix-blood. She thinks she can march up here and take the most powerful camper!" shouted a girl at the Ares table.
I looked up and saw not one symbol, but two: a caduceus and an owl. Not only was I apparently the child of two demigods instead of a god like the others, they weren't even very powerful gods. I ran away as quickly as I could, embarrassed by who I was. When I got back to to the Undetermined Cabin, I came across a bow on my stuff.
Show off your skills, kid. The arrow returns when it hits something and can kill monsters and demigods. Use it wisely, or shoot some kid, I don't care.

Behind me, I heard the door creak open. I turned to see a pregnant woman with long caramel hair.
"Others don't define who you are, you do. I learned that the hard way, with centuries of the cruelest punishment of all: isolation and false hopes. That is, until Leo came and showed me that I'm more than what the fates have written, I am a being." spoke the woman.
I looked at the woman. Based on my analysis, she must have been Calypso. I knew I had to be myself instead of just a "mixed-blood," but I had been rejected by 80% of the camp and Theo probably wouldn't ever talk to me again. I looked back down at my feet and wept.
A/N Thanks for reading! Alex needs a new friend. Suggest the gender and which godly parent and you could get mentioned! It can't be a child of the big 3 because I have plot planned out there. Minor gods are acceptable. Thank you for writing those reviews on the past chapters!
