Wow! Yesterday was amazing! The forges here are amazing! Everything is just amazing here. I walk outside and talk with cat. I kinda want to ask her out but i'm not quite sure yet. We barely get into conversation before Q runs up and starts talking about end of the world junk. I don't know but Cat seemed to understand, so I pretend to follow. Q walks off. Cat starts to walk away. I grab her shoulder. "Hey. Uh do you...um want to.. Uh go and get some.... Food or... something like that?" Cat looks pleased and replies quickly with "Yeah! That sounds like fun! Come get me in like an hour or so."

Cat

Omg, did he just ask me out? No, there is no way. I flop on to my bed. I wish that I could have just 30 seconds of silence, but silence does not exist in the Aphrodite cabin. I try to block out the sound and think. Why, of all people, would he choose me? I hear a knock at the cabin door. " Cat, you ready?" D's voice calls. All 12 people in the cabin turn to me and go "ooooooooooooooooooh"

I blush and walk to the door. I open it and walk out as fast as I can. "What the hell just happened in there?" He had a confused look on his face. "They're kids of Aphrodite, of course they are gonna do that." D made kind of a seems legit face. Sometimes, I hate being a daughter of Aphrodite. It's like, one simple crush turns into really liking which turns into madly in love. It's crazy how that works. "Where do you want to go?" I'm kind of confused. " Don't you already have a place picked out?" I can see that he already has this whole thing planned out. "I figured that you would enjoy this more if you picked where to go, and after you choose, well, we'll just go on from there." Welp, I was wrong. I try to think of a place for us to go. "I've never been to New York before so I don't know what kind of places are here. Maybe we could just walk around and see what there is." He nodded and we started walking. "I know what I wanna go." I pointed to a pit stop down the street. "Aight, let's go."
