"WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME WHEN I'M NO LONGER YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL?"

First, Luke showed me the cabins. They all had their own distinct design to them. A white cabin with yellow streamers hanging down the windows, sun hats resting on the edges of the ones that were open, and beach chairs placed on the front of it caught my eye. It had Greek words above the white door, which had the sun on it, which was smiling. Argentina? The Greek instantly came to me, "Apollo."
" That's Cabin 7." Luke said to me. "It belongs to Apollo's kids." My eyes widened. "Apollo? Like... the sun god?" Luke nodded. "Exactly like the sun god." Another cabin caught my eye. It was a darkish blue of some sort, maybe royal. It had tool boxes and machinery pieces laying all around the front. The front door was wide open, and so were the windows. Whirring could be heard from the inside, almost like a drill. "That's Cabin 9. Hephaestus. God of machinery and fire." Luke explained once more. I nodded slowly. But another cabin drew my attention in such a way that it was hypnotising.
A pink cabin with rose baskets hanging from the edge of the roof. Swinging seats with pink, heart-shaped cushions on them on both sides of the door. The stained glass windows showed images of doves, and they were wide open. Coming from the inside, I could smell all types of perfumes and amazing smells. Yes. This was it. This is the one for me. I looked at the Greek words above the door, and it instantly translated in my mind. "Aphrodite." I walked over to it, I felt like I was in a trance. But I felt a hand on my shoulder, stopping me. It was Luke. "Woah. I'm not done yet." He laughed. I looked at him and then back at Aphrodite's cabin. "That's Cabin 10. It belongs to-" "Aphrodite? I know. It's so... so..." He laughed once again. "You like it?" I nodded profusely. "I need it. How much is it?" I asked him, giving him my best serious face. "Oh, uh..." Luke drew in a deep breath. "It's not for sale." "It's not!?" I stared at him in disbelief. "None of the cabins are, actually." I raised my eyes in surprise and crossed my arms. "Well, you guys are missing out on a bargain."
Luke scoffed. "Hey, I should show you some of the training grounds... although Clarah told me you're a bit of a trust fund baby, so can you handle that?" Wow. Did she really say that about me? I mean, it is true, but I'm probably the only person on earth that can sprint in platform stilettos. I'm up for any challenge. "Well, Mr. Castellan, I must warn you that I might just be good at some things you won't expect." I walked up closer to him. "Maybe... even better than you." Now it was his turn to be surprised. "Well, never know until you try." "Then I'll try." I remarked.
Today was going to be great.
