Mount Olympus

Rose


I snoop around the grounds, hiding whenever someone comes around. I would really hate it if someone spotted me. I had no clue where I was going; all I knew is my father was guiding me.

Rayah

The girl keeps throwing notes and I become seriously annoyed and destracted from it, considering they're right next to eachother and could just hand it off.

The teacher blabs on about who knows what, and I just sit there, not listening. I see someone passing a note to people and that person passes a note to another...until it got to me.

The guy mouths for me to open it and I nod, confused. Sure enough, the teacher sees it.

"I'm telling your father about this," She exlaims, taking the note and throwing it in the trash. I roll my eyes and lean back in my chair, mouthing for the guy to tell me after class.

Jace

Tahira writes something else down and tosses the note to me again. I open it and flash a smile, glancing at Rayah as it fades. Remembering what I saw in the hallway, I jot down my answer.



I hand the note over just as Rayah is caught receiving one. She gets in trouble and I feel...jealous? Since when did I think that I was the only guy passing her notes... Shaking my thoughts and feelings away, I take out another sheet of paper and decide to busy myself.



I fold the paper and pass it to Rayah, noticing how she's said nothing to me since we got in trouble in history class.

Rayah

Jace passes me a note and I open it under my desk, jolting down my answer.

Yeah. I'll talk to you about it after school alright? Don't want to get in trouble again.

I see the teacher calling someone and she puts the phone down on the desk, looking at me. "I called you're father," She says. "He wants to speak to you."

Everyone "Oohs" and I sigh, standing and walking to the front of the room. She hands me the phone and I take a deep breath, my dad giving me a huge lecture over the phone. People in class could probrably hear his voice through it.

Jace

I read Rayah's response and hide the note before she's forced to take the phone from the teacher and step outside. Sighing, I lean back in my chair and wait for Tahira's response. Ever since Ray had been caught, we'd been a bit more cautious with our notes. I asked her whether I should pick her up Friday or just meet her there. I guess that was one note we equally didn't want the teacher to see.

Tahira

I got a big smile when I read the note, glad I got a date for the prom I try to think if it be better if I meet him there or pick me up. I soon decide for him to pick me up, dad would want to meet him since hes my prom date, I write down my answer.

"Pick me up at seven ok?" I wrote.

I give him the note and soon see Rayah on the phone being yelled at by the old sea king. I resist the urge to laugh not wanting to get in trouble with the teacher, I wait for his response as the clock seems to go so slow.

Jace

Seven o'clock. Oh gods...I'd have to meet her parents then, huh? Not sure how well that might go over, I agree to it anyway and pass the note back as the bell rings. I stand and gather my things, glancing at Rayah to find her still on the phone.

"What class do you have next?" I ask Tahira, looking back at her.

Ray's busy... She said we'd talk after school. Two more classes. Time to make good terms with my date until then.

Tahira

I take out my new schedule and look at it, seeing Gym - Sparing next on the list. I put it away and walk with him as we go.

"I got Gym next you?" I ask.

"Same." He said.

We walk down the hall and soon found ourselves in the gym at our gym lockers, I pulled out my mothers blade and slung it on my back getting a nice good feel for the blade. I look at Jace as he didn't have a weapon in his hand, I wait a second but soon realize he doesn't have one.

"You don't have a weapon do you?" I ask.

Jace

I wonder how many classes we have together.. We get to the gym and she takes out a sword, slinging it over her back. She looks at me, finding that I make no move to retrieve a weapon. Gym was my most hated subject. Training was pointless.

"You don't have a weapon, do you?" she asks.

"Nope," I reply smoothly, "I'm a pacifist. I don't partake in acts of violence."

Rayah

My dad tells me I'm grounded and I slam the phone on the floor, walking to gym. Stupid dad.

I see the punching bag when I walk in and set my stuff down, putting my fighting gloves on. I put my knife on my belt and warm my hand up so it's easier to use fire and wait for class to start, wanting to kick some A*s.

Tahira

"What? But you can't be, your a demigod we got to fight if were expected to stay alive in the modern world. You need a weapon if your going to pass this class you know?" I said.

He shakes his head me in refusal and we walk off and into the gym, Rayah looked ready for battle as we were sparing all thought the semester. I was ready tho, I did prefer to have my brother to help me out during this, but due to the schedule change that didn't look prominent to happen. Soon the coach took attendance as he readied to give instructions to the class.

"Alright, when I call two names you and that person will line up for sparing. So first off." He waits looking at the list for a second to find the right sparing partners.

"Tahira and Rayah, you two spare together." He said.

He listed off a bunch of other names that I was't paying attention to, I looked at Rayah dead in the eye as we lined up for a fight. Something told me this was going to be a lot more than sparing, as we walked circles with each other.

Jace

Nope. I will only fight if the ones I love are in trouble. It's not my place elsewhere. I stand in a line in the gym, bored as I wait to see who's attacks I'll be averting. Then Tahira and Rayah are called to fight each other. Oh how wonderful. My best friend and my Prom date...This'll end well.

Rayah

Ugh. Great I told myself, stopping in my tracks. She looks me dead in the eyes and I smirk. "Got something to tell me?" I joke. She gives me the death stare and a smile grows on my face. "Oooh, I'm so scared."

I catch Jace watching but quickly look away. I run for her and punch her in the somach, sending her steps backwards. The coach sends me the stare he gives me every day. Don't kill her.

I roll my eyes and shape a sword out of fire in my hand and grin at her. "Well," I motion her towards me. "Come at me."

Tahira

I take steps back from the punch as she forms a sword of fire in her hands, ready for battle and the fight of the year I charge in using my speed and size to my advantage. She swings downwards and I dodge and move off to her left, I punch her right in the cheek as I send her flying from the punch as I soon pull my mothers sword The Blade of Excile from my back and sling it on my shoulders as she gets up. I channel electricity into my sword as she makes another fire sword in hand.

"Come on Rayah, I know your tougher than that." I said.

Jace

I watch, stopping myself from saying anything or jumping up when Rayah is slammed in the face. Instead, I take deep breaths and regain control over myself. Rayah can handle a fight. I can't step between my best friend and my date. I especially can't step into a fight after saying I was a pacifist...I'm no liar. Ray can't know that I could contradict myself for her, especially in front of my date. I shake my head at myself and continue watching.
