Making New Friends (p)

Alex was walking back to their cabin with four books in their arms. Most of the books were quite thick, except for the one on top. The top one they weren't even planning to read. It was a book on military tactics. The child of Ares got it so they could act like they were reading that instead of the "less useful" fiction books Alex did plan to read.

Alex was getting close to the Ares cabin when they saw a male sitting in the courtyard. He looked about their age, maybe a little older. He was sitting outside the cabin which they knew as the "Other Gods" cabin. The child of Ares figured he didn't seem too intimidating. Plus they remembered the promise they made to themselves that they'd attempt to make new friends. They summoned their courage and walked towards the male. Alex, being quite awkward in social situations, wasn't sure what to say. So they decided to say the first thing that popped into their head, "Uh, hello there."

(OORP: Sorry I was in band and couldn't really do anything because flutes sit literally right in front of the conductor. Also my phone makes weird autocorrects I don't always catch so if you see one feel free to point it out)
