Reading Too Deep

Acacia ginned wildly, "Same! Betty was always my favorite. She's so...empowering, you know? She was a good role model growing up. I mean, except the whole love triangle thing. Obsessions over boys is a little weird for me."

Acacia realized she was being a smidge too hypocritical. She carries around a book in hopes that her boyfriend magically comes and finds her. But Miles is a child of the god of sleep, he could like magically wake up when Acacia flips the page in the book.

Acacia climbed back up the book shelf and sat down. She patted the spot next to her, offering Veronica to join her

"Oh, well, I kind of just end up here sometimes. I don't even know how I get here sometimes, I'm just...here." Acacia bit the inside of her cheek, realizing how stupid that sounded when it came out of her mouth. But hey, it was the truth. Sometimes the brunette just looks up from her book and finds herself sitting in a huge bean bag. Ugh, she's too weird. But she's not the weirdest child of Athena there is.
She's obsessed with books alright, but thats about it. Some of her siblings are too extreme with being like their mother. Which is weird, her siblings are weird.

"What about you? Why are you here?"

Acacia nodded slowly and smiled at Veronica. She had this warm feeling in her stomach. A feeling she hasn't felt door a while. It was the feeling of friendship. It sounded weird but that's how she felt. She really hadn't had many friends since her sister died. She went through a phase where she didn't  want to be around people, but she had gotten over that.
The brunette looked down at her book when Veronica mention it. Acacia smiled,
"I just started it over. I'm at the part where Nick is at Gatsby's party for the first time. That chapter has my favorite quote," she paused, taking in a big breath, "And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy."

Acacia nodded, "I like that part too." Really any part in The Great Gatsby was Acacia's favorite. She just really liked the book. Not so much the movie, but that's another story.
The daughter of Athena knew she probably shouldn't have re read the book again. She still had plenty of books she needed to read. Her father just sent her City of Heavenly Fire and she has been dying to read it.

Any who, Acacia played the ends of her light brown hair. Two teenage girls can't talk about books the whole time. I mean, she would love to talk about books, but she needed some real teen experiences, right?
Think Acacia, think like an Aphrodite.
"Are you going to prom?" No. She can't, she's like fourteen years old, "Wait, don't answer that."
Ugh, dammit Acacia, you're hopeless. Okay, now. Other things. Boys, girls like to talk about boys.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"

ooc-sorry for the wait :((

Acacia smiled, "Aw, that's adorable."  Acacia always loved listening to other couple's stories. There normally all different, and their like a teen romance novel, without the extremely annoying main female character.
"Well, I mean, not adorable in the way that you don't think he likes you. Which he obviously does. I mean, if you act different around him, he probably likes you if he doesn't think you're weird." Acacia let out a small laugh, man she should write an advice column.
When Veronica mentioned if she had a boyfriend, Acacia's cheeks grew red, and she couldn't help but to smile.
"His name is Miles, and he's a dork. We've been taking for almost a year now. Actually, next week is out anniversary." Acacia was grinning like an idiot. Just talking about Miles made her happy. She really liked him, but she hasn't seen him in a while. But who could blame him, his dad is the god of sleep, he's probably sleeping. The first time she visited his bunk she fell asleep for a week; that place is really comfy.

Acacia smile grew smaller as she listened to Veronica talk.
Maybe she should start some kind of advice column, she could be pretty good at it. But then again, that would sound crazy. She barely has enough life experience to handle people's problems. That would be insane.
Acacia nodded her head, Yeah, do you know him? Acacia always liked to know more about Miles' friends, maybe they were friends. Then they would have a mutual friend, since Acacia is pretty sure Veronica is her friend now. Despite the two year age gap, Acacia would think they're friendly. Like older sister-younger sister type relationship. Acacia's never had a sister before. As far as she knew her father didn't have a girlfriend. And she didn't really talk to any of her half siblings. So this was new.

Acacia laughed a little, Sounds like him. What a dork.  
She guessed Acacia liked dorks, the last two boys she dated were dorks. It was always weird to her that she had more than one boyfriend before. Like, is she that social to actually go out with more than one boy.
Acacia jumped out of her chair when the conch rang. She always hated that conch, it's always scares her. It's like bells at school, and when a grade below or above you has a bell ring for their lunchtime, and it rings You're not expecting it.
She forgot it was almost diner time. How long have they exactly been in the observatory? Acacia nodded, Sounds like a plan. She smiled, putting her book back into her book bag.

Athena’s daughter swung her incredibly cute tote bag over her shoulder as she walked out with Ronnie. It was this light blue bag with Edgar Allan Poe’s face all over it. She had gotten it from this cute little store in Rehoboth, and the bag was extremely cute. And it matched her skirt, which was even more cute. Acacia Ivy was just a big ball of cute, you go Acacia.  The sixteen year old flipped her brown locks off of her shoulder as she turned her head to Veronica.

“Fun?” Oh sure, Acacia knew how to have fun, but she’s not the queen of fun. More like, the queen’s kin’s sister in law.  Acacia just likes to hang out with her friends. Not her friends in camp, they’re either dead or married. She has friends in So-Ho, thank you very much. During the school year, Acacia goes to some private school in So-Ho, and she’s pretty popular there. It’s nice. But at camp she’s just reminded of her sister dead and her dead sister’s boyfriend still walking around camp. And he’s creepy as hell.

“I work at my dad’s bookshop in So-Ho, I go up there every so often, and I normally visit friends and other people. It’s pretty fun. If your asking for here, I kind of just sit on books shelves and read, but it’s still fun. I get my brother, Rex to bring me food, it’s a pretty good deal.” Acacia laughed, now looking at the many baby trees that lined the path towards the mess hall, “What about you?”
