Watching the sunset-open-

"Hera kids?" Nick asked. "Since when does Hera have kids?" He always thought Hera was against having demi-god children. Being the goddess who she is, this is a shock.

"Oh yea I guess you are right, Hera doesn't have kids, but at least I stay at her cabin." I sighed and then turned to Gen "Well I mean, I am not the most talkative person in camp, but I guess I can listen good. If you ever want to talk." I felt bad for her, she seemed sad somehow.

"Don't think of it that way," Nick said to Gen. "I'm sure that Apollo loved your mother and he didn't just have you because he was 'bored'.", he said, trying to sound like he wasn't thinking the same. Could this be the reason for my parentage, Athena being bored?

I felt stupid again, I probably looked stupid to Gen, like a weirdo or so.
"Oh yea right, I understand" I told her and looked at Jennifer again, she was really quiet.

"Okay,", he said, watching the sunset. "I think I'm going to head back to my cabin."

"Once again, it was nice meeting all of you", he said with a smile. He stood up.

Nick turned toward the cabins. Slowly he began to walk. He looked back at the crowd. He gave a wave, and he was gone.

I wondered why that kid left so quick, but then I turned my attention back to Gen, she looked up at the sky and I did so, tool "It looks pretty. I mean it looks so peaceful." I just wanted to have a conversation with her to make her feel better. I knew how it feels to be lonely and I didn't want her to feel like this.

Everybody was quiet, Gen looked kinda sad but also she didn't want people to feel bad for her so I didn't say anything to her. Jennifer kept looking at Gen, too. She didn't seem like the usual Aphrodite-kid, I mean yea she was very pretty but she also seemed very kind and caring.

I leaned back against a tree and stroked my beard, if you can call the stubbles I have in my face a beard.
