Dear Diary,

Yesterday I left off with when me, Hera and Aphrodite disrobing and I told you how that was a big mistake on my part. You may not know why I said that. Only few people in this world do. Someone once told me that it was good to get your secrets out. So I guess I'll tell you about my misery. So after we disrobed, Paris looked at Hera and asked her what they would promise him if he chose her. "I will give you all of Asia and great wealth if you choose me." She said it with great confidence which I would not like to admit, but it made me slightly worried. I didn't let that show though. Luckily he denied her. Next it was my turn to tell him. I said that if he chose me, I would make him the most handsome and wise man in the entire world! I personally thought that was a very good promise. I also added on that I would make him victorious in battles. Then, the worst thing happened. He shook his head and walked over to Aphrodite. I felt like I was shot in the gut by a gun. I felt like I was going to break down into tears at any second. I wanted to see what Aphrodite had to offer. Hopefully it wouldn't be good and he would come running back for me. I crossed my fingers behind my back. "I promise you Helen. The wife of Menelaus and the most beautiful mortal woman in the world, to become your bride." My jaw almost dropped! How could she find a way to do that?! But she wasn't finished yet. "I swear that I will make her fall in love with you." That was NOT fair!! But apparently Paris thought it was. He handed her the apple and I felt like SCREAMING! My mind was immediatly thinking of ways I could get revenge. I'll finish writing tomorrow. Athena
