⨏ίяsł ⨏αη⨏ì∁( EVER ) Hazels Birthday!
I'm impatient. So, I'm gonna write my first fan fiction, and maybe about the seven ( and calypso ) at school?
Assuming that Percy and Annabeth are 17, Leo, Calypso, Jason and Piper are 15, Frank is 16 and Hazel is 13/14 ( read on to know what I mean )
BTW they are at boarding school so.

Hazel's POV
I woke up at 6:00AM maybe? Hmm.. I checked the my new and "improved" monster free phone (Leo had made it for all the demigods with the hephaestus campers). It was December 17th. Something about this day felt vaguely familiar, but I could also tell it came with bad memories, so I brushed the thought off.
It was a Saturday, so I did have to get up and get ready for school. But at least I had art class today! I got up feeling excited. And then I remembered I also had double maths today. I groaned and fell back in my bed.
"Hey, wake up sleepy head!", Annabeth said from somewhere behind me.
"Good morning", I groaned, and then looked at her, she was already ready, wearing blue jeans and her orange CHB t-.shirt Her blue Yankees camp was clipped to the side of her belt, and her hair was already tied up in a neat ponytail.
" Morning, breakfast starts at 7:30, so you may want to go get ready... I'll probably go wake up Percy, because if I don't he'll keep sleeping till 9:00." she said and rolled her eyes, and then walked out shutting the door.
I rubbed my eyes and headed over to the washroom, where I stumbled through my morning routine. By the time Annabeth did come back, I'd even had enough time to finish the Math homework which I forgot to do last night.
"Did it really take that long to wake him up?" I joked. But her eyes flickered as if she was hiding something, though she hid it quickly. "Uh, yeah, and then I had to help him write an essay. Don't know how it went though, considering we're both dyslexic.", she replied hastily.
"It's 7:10, and I doubt anyone else will save us a table. Let's go!", she continued and then we walked down the dining hall.
( WARNING: puns and memes ahead )We waited at the table a bit until Piper and Calypso joined us. "Seriously, where are they?", Piper asked Annabeth. "I don't know. "Percy's probably making Frank late, and I can assume the same with Leo and Jason.", Calypso replied, rolling her eyes and serving herself an avocado spread on her toast.
"You'd think bringing Percy and Leo to a 'Roman' demigod school would help--", Annabeth was saying before she turned back to see two boys shouting at a fish tanker, and then getting sprayed with water. "Which idiots would--", I started.
"Dam it, they're our idiots." Calypso whispered, and then covered her face as Leo and Percy walked up to our table, they brought water droplets to the seat, and stares to our faces.
Jason and Frank sat on the other side of the table and said," We tried to warn them.."
"Good morning Wise Girl!", Percy said hugging Annabeth and getting her wet. "You did that on purpose.", she said giving him a glare full of daggers, " You know you only get wet if you want to." "Good morning Sunshine!", Leo said to Calypso. "What did the fish say this time?", Calypso said as if she was talking to a 6-year-old.
"They said, Camp Jupiter was better than CHB!", Percy and Leo said in unison, as if daring anyone to agree.
Jason cleared his throat and nudged Frank, " So Frank, the erm-- the movie tickets."
Frank didn't look up from his omelet. Huh. Someone's acting weird today. ''What 'movie tickets'?", I asked, as I hadn't been told about this before.
"Ohhh!! So that's who we forgot to get a ticket for!!", Piper exclaimed. "Oh."
I knew I should have said more, but l couldn't. It felt like there was a stone in my throat, blocking anything else I wanted to say to them. I could already feel tears trying to well up in my eyes. It felt really nice knowing your friends forgot you existed. ( sarcasm alert )
"It's fine guys! Go without me. It's not like the school will grant me permission to leave in 10 minutes anyway!", I said, putting up my best fake smile.
"Really? Thanks Hazel you're the best!", Frank said, but he wasn't smiling. I could have convinced myself that it must've been guilty conseince or something, but when I thought about it, Frank wasn't the only one who had acted weird today.
I'll figure it our later. Right now, I have to go for art class. It'll only make me feel better, anyways.
"I've gotta go for art now. See you for dinner?"
"Maybe, if we don't have plans after.", Calypso jumped in. " Have a nice day at school!"

I went to arts class where I painted a lonely girl, sitting on a bench and gazing at the sky. If anything, it reminded me of my current predicament, so art didn't go as well as I thought it would.As usual Maths was horrible. English went ok, I guess. Geography was a disaster, and I pronounced everything wrong in Roman lessons. But the worst of all was lunch.
I kept trying to gather the courage to walk up to a table and ask if I could sit with them, and when I finally did they said I couldn't cos I wasn't an Ares' kid.
Right after the bell rang, and I stumbled down the long, now dull hall back to my dorm and tried to focus on algebra. It seemed much harder without Annabeth's tips and patient guidance. I decided to take a power nap. Worst. Decision. Ever.
I woke up with a dark black bag on my head, standing upright.
Voices all around me. Finally, after struggling for what seemed like and eternity, my kidnappers took the bag off my face and I looked around to see--
Camp Half Blood hill? A birthday banner? Hold up.. a birthday cake with a candle '14' written on it? Who's birthday was it- and that's when it hit me. That's why today was so familiar. It was MY birthday.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!", screamed dozens of campers from CHB and Camp Jupiter. I saw Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Calypso, Frank, Leo, Jason, Reyna and Nico! It'd been so long since I last saw him!
Wait, now I'm as old as Nico! This is gonna be so fun!
Of course I wanted to thank them, but first, I walked up to Frank, and punched him in the gut. Then I turned to my friends and said, " You guys are like, REALLY BAD at planning surprise birthday parties. Either way, thanks."
They just grinned, and smiled, and then Leo ruined the moment by saying, " Ok so can we have the cake now or what? I've been trying to control myself all day.
Connor and Travis pulled pranks, Leo and Percy got too hyper from all the blue candy, and it was really cold outside, but needless to say, it was definitely the best birthday I'd ever had.
