"I can safely say I haven't received that compliment from other girls before."

Addie looked up at the other girl at this comment. [i]So much for shutting up, Addie. Great job.[/i] How was she supposed to reply to that? Maybe it would be best if she just didn't reply at all. What if that made it worse? Now they were both blushing, and she had no escape from this situation. She froze for a good thirty seconds, trying to figure out what to say. Was it appropriate to apologize? Or was it weird to apologize for giving someone a compliment? Addie looked back down at her, now empty, tray. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" she cut herself off. That sentence was no doubt going to end with something that would make the other girl feel sorry for her, and there were already far too many Aphrodite kids that felt that way toward her.

Then a guy Addie recognized from the Hermes cabin entered the conversation, effectively alleviating the awkward situation. Silently, she thanked the gods for this interruption and started to fiddle with the string thing on her hoodie, now gladly silently listening in on a conversation she had no intention of joining. Unfortunately, Addie found herself interjecting herself into the conversation nonetheless when the guy asked Zula whether she thought she was lucky.

"Dude. That's creepy as hell," she said before even realizing she had voiced her thoughts. Immediately, she slapped her hands to her mouth and tried to apologize. "Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry."
