Rachel sighed as she walked in the doors to her Greek Mythology class at Clarion. She finally would have one class she would enjoy. The teacher Ms. Martin was in the front of the room giving the students their seats. Rachel was put in the pack. Great she thought. I have to sit in the back behind a bunch of airheads who probably don't know a thing about the Gods. She was right, just listening to the replies of the other girls made her want to barf. This is what her class was like. (Bold writing is teacher. Regular is the classmates answering or Rachel answering and italic is Rachel thinking.)
"What were the god's names?" Rachel and 3 other girls raised their hands. Ms. Martin chose a girl in the second row. "Ummmm All I know about the god's names is Aphrodite the goddess of beauty and love because she is the only cool goddess." Rachel didn't know if anyone else could hear but she heard thunder in the distance. "Can anyone else tell me the names and what they are the god or goddess of?"
Rachel raised her hand Ms. Martin called out "?"
"There is Zeus the Lord of the sky, Poseidon Lord of the Sea, Hades Lord of the underworld, Apollo Lord of the Sun, Prophecies, Archery, music and Poetry, Artemis Lady of the Wild, Hunt, and Virgins, Hera Lady of marriage and childbirth, Aphrodite Lady of Love and Beauty, Hephaestus lord of the blacksmith, Dionysus lord of parties and wine, Ares lord of War, Athena lady of War and Wisdom, and Hermes lord of Thieves, Travelers, and Messages are the 12 Olympians, but there are other minor gods such as Morpheus, Iris, Hecate, and Nemesis."
"Very good Ms. Dare Now who can tell me of heroes." Rachel ignored the stares of her class mates and soon a few hands were raised. One girl who had her hand raised called out " Super Heroes?"
"No. Ms. Corey Not super heroes Anyone else?" All the hands raised went down except for Rachel's. "Yes, ?"
"Heroes were the children of the gods. They were half mortal and half god. The God's sent them on quests after they consulted with the Oracle of Delphi." Her classmates stared at her with their mouths agape. One girl asked Rachel "why are you in this class if you know so much already?"
"I enjoy this subject so here I am." The other girls rolled their eyes and gave her looks that said she was clearly crazy. "Well, since we have that finished can anyone speak or write in ancient greek? No one was expected to know it." Rachel raised her hand and the other girls mouths dropped open. "You can speak ancient Greek too!" Rachel rolled her eyes. Foolish Mist seeing mortals! "Ms. Dare can you translate for us?"
Rachel called them all Foolish, Naïve, Mortals who can't tell apart Chiron from Charon, under her breath in ancient Greek. Rachel might as well do something useful. "What would you like translated?"
" Can you translate, Hello my name is Rachel?" Rachel had to bite her tongue before the laughter escaped her mouth. Of course she could! She wouldn't be much of an Oracle if she wasn't. Rachel took a deep breath and thought that maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
Should this be a one-shot or not?
