The new Goddess

'This is were we eat.' I told Alex. She looked around. Her eyes lighted up beautiful in the sunset and she had this little scar on her cheek, which was kind of cute. 'Every cabin has their own table, you have to sit with them.' I continued. 'Really? And what if you don't like youre cabin?' She asked. 'Well, than you have bad luck. But you like it with us right?' She smiled. 'Yeah offcours! I was just wondering.' We walked to the Hermes table and I told the table what kind of food and drink I wanted. Alex looked really suprised. I told her how it worked but she hated the idea of talking to a table. I laughed. 'What?' She said. 'It is really weird to talk to a table!' Finally she agreed and asked the table for food. It looked like she was really ashamed of it because she was blushing. We got our food, Alex started eating enthausiastly from it. She must be really hungry after this day of fighting monsters and getting to know camp. 'Don't eat everything.' I warned. 'Why not! It's delicious!' 'You have to offer some of your food to the gods.' 'Than I order some more food for the gods.' 'Thats not the same...' 'Okay, okay, so what do I have to do?' 'Well, in a few minutes we'll walk to that fire over there, and throw some food in it and say our godly parent's name.' 'Which name do I have to say?' That was a good question. It had been ages ago since there was a kid in the Hermes cabin that wasn't officialy a Hermes kid. 'Uhm,' I said, 'say Hermes name. Because you're living in his cabin at the moment.' She nodded. There followed a silence. I hated silence. Then she said: 'At the arena a guy said he thaugt I may be a kid of Ares.' I thaught about it. 'Do you like that idea?' I said. 'No, no offense to Ares but I don't like the war thing. It's just, well you know.' She looked at me like she expected that I told her that it wasn't true what the guy at the arena told her. 'Who do you think that my godly parent is?' She continued. I wanted to say Aphrodite, because she was beautiful, I mean, uhm, beautiful for a, uhm, well she was just good looking. Like really good... A never mind. 'I hope you're not a daughter of Hermes.' I finally said. 'Why not?' 'Well, because you would be my sister.' 'So?' Before I could give her an answer everybody started walking to the fire and offering to their godly parents. I stood up and went to the fire. The conversasion didn't went as I suspected. Saved by the offering, I told my self. I smiled and that must've looked weird: a guy smiling at his food. But I guessed I could live with that.
