(Bianca's POV)
After Amala went after CJ, I stayed behind with Brielle.

"Does your mom know that you exist?" I asked as we walked down the hill.

"Nope!"

"Do you want to meet her?"

"Maybe someday. . ." she said. "How old are you?"

"I'm twelve."

"Same."

We continued talking like this all the way to the van, where I saw CJ whispering to Amala. Amala caught my eye, and said something to CJ. CJ sprinted onto the bus, and Amala headed towards us.

"Hi!" she said. "I'm Amala, legacy of Zeus and Aphrodite, and I guess that you're my cousin."

"Yup!"

"Are we going to get on the van, or what?" I interrupt.

"Yeah, let's go." Brielle takes off.

Amala and I follow. Here are the seats:
Row 1: Ethan, Sammy, Wyatt
Row 2: Zoë, Silena, Alex
Row 3: Luke, Maia, Riley
Row 4: Charlie, Lana
Row 5: Me, Brielle, Amala
Row 6: CJ, Ajax
Row 7: Hope, Liam

When we sat down, I could see CJ listening intently to Hope and Liam's conversation. Ugh, Aphrodite stuff. I decided to talk with Brielle again.

"Are you nervous about being in the living world?" I asked her.

"I actually am." Wow. From what I knew about this girl, I didn't think that anything could make her nervous.

"I'll help you adjust," I promised.

"Okay, then. What do you do on long, boring car rides like this?"

"Well we usually play on our phones, or listen to music, but. . ." I didn't say the obvious. Brielle didn't have a phone.

Amala saved me. "You can borrow mine!" she said brightly, and handed it to Brielle.

"What music do you listen to?"

"Well. . ." I shuffled my favorite album.

How does a ragtag volunteer army, in need of a shower
Somehow defeat a global superpower?
How do we emerge victorious from the quagmire?
Leave the battlefield waving Betsy Ross's flag higher?
Yo, turns out we have a secret weapon
An immigrant you know and love who's unafraid to step in
He's constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen
Everyone give it up for America's favorite fighting Frenchman

And that is how the entire bus ended up singing Hamilton.
