Mount Olympus

Jace

I smile and look at Rayah, mouthing, "Now, we're even."

Rayah

I shake my head at him just as a guy taps me. I turn around and he hands me a not. I hold it down low this time, reading it. I blush at it before glancing behind me and mouthing- 'Thank you.'

I crumble it and put it in my pocket, doodling in my notebook.

Jace

I force myself to look away from her at this. Seeing her blush for someone... What am I thinking? We're friends. Best friends. That's it. Why can't I get that through my head?

Tahira

I walk to history as I found out I have a scedule change, annoyed I knocked on the door as I knew sparing would be harder without Tyler to help me out with his lightning bow and arrow, I showed the paper to the teacher as she comes to the door and allows me in. I take a seat next to Rayah, she was a rival of mine besides Tyler himself. We were on good terms for now, but who knows what'll happen in the future.

Rayah

I look at the board at what she wrote. Important announcements: School Prom on Friday, Test Thursday, Assembly Wenesday: 3rd period.

I look back at my notebook and continue doodling as she starts to explain each one of those.

Jace

Prom... I glance at Rayah in the corner of my eyes and then shake off the thought. No, can't go with her. Best friends, idiot. I notice the new girl, or at least new to me, come in and sit on the other side of Rayah. I look back at the teacher and drown out in my own fantasies, hating how I had no power to make them real. Damn American Dream...doesn't work up here...

Rayah

I get stares from guys across the room and shift uncomfortably in my seat, hating it. I just focus back on my notebook, thinking about Prom.

Maybe I'll just stay home. Watch a movie. Eat popcorn. Yeah. That sounds good.

I get another stare and immiadiatly raise my hand. "My mom said she's dropping something off for me at the office. Can I go get it?" I lied. She nods, shooing me off and I stand, avoiding any gazes before exiting the room.

Jace

Rayah makes an excuse to leave and hurries out. Something's wrong, I notice, but don't make a move to do anything about it. Me leaving right after her would send the wrong message. I'll catch up to her after class. She can't kill me in a crowded hallway. I listen to the teacher drone on and on, annoyed and distracted beyond belief. Gus walks into the classroom and sits at my side, making me feel even worse.

That's nice. Thanks, buddy. As if I needed to be any weirder to these people...

Tahira

I see the new guy who I knew was just starting here, rumers have been floating about a cute new guy who just came to the school. I pick up a piece of paper and fold until it was thick enough to throw at him, I write into it.

"Hey new guy names Tahira, need a hand to your next class? : p" It read.

I fold it up and throw it at him as the teacher doesn't notice it, it hits him and he looks at me as I wink at him and look away.

Rayah

Amazingly annoyed and outstandingly irritated, I get some air before walking back in. The teacher looks at me weirdly before shaking it off. Some girl throws something at Jace and I send her a glare before the bell rings.

And here we go...

Just as I stand, like five guys come up to me at the same time and I swallow, taking a step back. They ask me a million questions and I just say no to all of them, quickly walking out and into the hallway.

Jace

The new girl tosses a note at me and winks. A little weirded out, I unfold the note and read it. Not sure what to think, the bell rings to save me. I turn to the girl and stuff the note in one of my books.

"Jace," I hold out my hand, glancing at Rayah before looking back at her, "Nice to meet you, Tahira."

I notice Rayah bolt out and realize I won't catch up with her as I hoped.

"Uh, yeah, wouldn't mind that help," I flash a smile, "You wouldn't happen to have Chemistry next, would you?"

Tahira

We walk out of class together as we talk about random things, I soon find out hes the son of the old god Hermes. I tell him of mine and he seemed stunned for a second. But soon seemed lively again.

"So you going to the prom this friday?" I ask.

Rayah

I remember that I have the rest of my classes all with Jace and I go off to find him. I run into him in the crowd and freeze when I see he's with...her. I swallow and just pas by them as someone grabs me by the waist from behind and twirls me around. I turn to see Alex and I flash a smile. "What was that for?"

"Your my prom date," He states, walking with me to Chemistry.

I chuckle and cross my arms over my book. "Is that so?"

He nods, "Yes, It is. And you are going to be the most amazing prom queen," He kisses the side of my head and I shake my head at him, getting to class.'"Cool. See you Friday?"

He nods before walking off and I take my seat in the back, where I always sit with Jace.

Jace

I see Rayah with...him. He spins her and kisses the side of her face and I force myself to focus on what Tahira is saying.

"I don't know," I say, looking at her, "If I got a date, I suppose I would go..."

I leave it at that, hoping it's enough of a hint for her to say yes, and walk into Chemistry. She sits beside me as I sit at Rayah's side, and I wait for an answer.

Tahira

"How about I be your prom date?" The note read.

I take my seat next him and soon I write up a note as class starts and throw it to Jace writing my question to him, hoping I got the hint right. I was giggly with antisapation as I wait for a response from him.
