Accustomed as Kady now was to the ever-present silence, that didn't necessarily make it any easier for her; stumbling around, perpetually unaware of the events that were unfolding right before her very eyes, was not something she wanted to do for the rest of her life. All the same, she wasn't going to cry about it anymore like she had at first. Just thinking of that was shameful and brought hot pink splotches to her cheeks; she wouldn't cry about it. Kady couldn't change what had happened now, and she just needed to freaking live with how it was. At least, that was what she told herself. People think you're stupid, whispered the nagging little voice in the back of her brain. And it was true. They'd yell at her and she wouldn't realize... but...
It had occurred to her that she might be just a little bit depressed, mostly because she spent her free time in bed, read the same book over and over, and didn't enjoy talking to people as much anymore. And being the antisocial little mole that she had been even before she got sick, that was saying a lot now. The only person she willingly talked to anymore would be David Davis, her brother. There was some comfort in speaking to him, though the daughter of Aphrodite wasn't exactly sure why.
Switching positions as she lay on her bed in order to not get overheated, Kady stared at the door of the Aphrodite cabin, trying not to pay attention to the overwhelming pinkness of the walls that held her home. Half the time, she tried to sleep in other places; once she'd even camped out in a freaking tent because the pink was too overwhelming. Combined with the noisy gusto that was ever-present at Camp Halfblood, it gave her headaches and made spots swim before her eyes. But now that "noisy gusto" was long gone, and she could stand it. All the same, she still hated it.
As she was still staring at the door, it creaked open.
