Sometimes I wonder if I would like life better as a mortal.
Other times I know I would like better if I was a mortal.
When you have gods to blame, or know they are involved in almost everything you do, you can't help but feel used for entertainment.
Don't worry, I'm not going to turn into Kronos or anything. I always agreed with Luke that, hey, the gods kinda suck. But I would never, and I mean never, turn against them. But if I ever visit Olympus, I am so putting a whoopie cushion on Zeus's throne.
Totally would be worth getting blasted to pieces.
Pardon my ADHD, I was getting off of topic. What I'm trying to say is, Aphrodite, stay the FUCK OUT OF MY LOVE LIFE!
Thank you.

Anyway, back to my messed up life.
I didn't know what I was getting I was getting into when I agreed to ask Katie out.
As the day went on, I just kept doubting myself. The depressed teenager was starting to get to me. I kept thinking shit like:
"Oh, what if I'm not good enough for her?"
"What if she rejects me?"
"What if Demeter doesn't think I'm worthy and turns me into a corn plant?
"What if she rejects me?"
So on and so on.
Conner noticed that I wasn't paying attention to the task at hand, which in that case, was learning Ancient Greek verbs. I mean, who can blame me, I'm an ADHD kid, try to sit me down and have me focused on one thing? Nah, that's never gonna happen. Point being, Conner asks me if I'm okay and of course, I just reply with:
"I'm just tired."
Why do we all do that? We complain that no one asks us if we're all right and then as soon as someone does we just hit them with the "I'm tired."
Conner can see right through me so he tells me to leave the classroom and take a walk, to, you know, clear my brain.
I needed that walk. I thought about how I was going to do this, and how I was going to muster up the courage. I made a promise to Piper, I planned on keeping that promise. I also didn't want the daughter of Aphrodite chopping my head off.
The other reason I needed to take that walk because of Katie.
When I was walking past the archery area, I saw her. She looked amazing, standing there, glaring at the target. She had almost perfect aim, but she couldn't seem to get a bullseye. She kept trying, even when her cabin mates left to put their bows away. I had an uneasy feeling in my gut, like whenever I'm about to do something really stupid.
I instantly knew why.
Caleb Adcock from the Apollo came up behind her.
Here's some back story on Caleb. He's a jerk. Everyone agrees that he's a player, like an even bigger player than me (I'm not proud of it). Caleb will always be the creep in the back alleyway that gives you the vibes that you should run. Normally, he doesn't try anything funny when people are in big groups, but when you're alone? Good luck, because you'll need it.
Most people handle him fine.
Like Nico, he just calmly kicked him in the balls and walked away. Or Annabeth, who talked her way out of it. Or even Piper, who charm spoke him into leaving her alone.
