Helena paced outside the Hecate cabin. She was an idiot, a stupid idiot. He wasn't supposed to hit him. She thought to herself. He was just supposed to get jealous and drag me away. It had been a dangerous game she played during the volleyball game. As soon as it finished she watched Mateo leave, and assumed he had gone to his cabin. When she arrived, however, he wasn't there. All she had wanted was his attention, and now Theo was hurt. Admittedly, she wasn't that broken up about it, he wasn't a great person. But she was upset at how deeply it had affected Mateo.
How was I supposed to know he would get that angry? Lena knew that Mateo loved her. She could quite literally feel it as a child of Aphrodite. Even if he couldn't admit it himself, Helena knew. Still she was desperate for him to come to acceptance of it. She had waited years for him to notice her, and she didn't want to be patient anymore. She wanted that happily ever after she knew they were going to have one day. All she had wanted was for Mateo to get a little jealous and steal her attention for himself. It had backfired big time.
She paced for hours before she finally heard footsteps approaching. Biting her lip, she looked up at him. "I'm an idiot..." She said by way of apology.
