"YOU ARE THE MOST REVOLTING THING UNDER URANOS!" Artemis had shouted.

I was hurt by that comment,Artemis had been yelling screaming and swearing eternal misery for her,but to say I was revolting..that hurt.

"Di immortales! Calm down dear! It was just a simple misunderstanding! Tell her Zeus!"I said looking at the "Almighty Zeus" sitting in his throne with uneasiness.

"What exactly..happen?" Zeus asked nervously.

"She compelled one of my hunters to..to." Artemis had a look of disgust.

"Converse with a man!"

"I did not compel! I simply suggested." I shrugged.

"Honestly I wouldn't have to if you cut back on that maidenhood nonsense." I said then taking interest in my nails.

I frowned as she saw one of her nails had been conversation had been really stressing me out. I hope this didn't cause for head creases..

Artemis face turned into a dark shade of red that to me, was not appealing.

" YOU INSUFFERABLE LITTLE—"

"ENOUGH!"Zeus bellowed as the sky rumbled, he laid his head in his hand.

"Aphrodite,you have gone too far this time!" Zeus said sighing.

"Well I don't know what you mean!" I said putting my hand over my chest in shock.

I am the goddess of love!He can't blame me for doing my job!

"Just last week you turned Hephaestus' cabin tools all in beauty supplies!"

"Well yes,I was doing them a favor!" I retorted.I had never understood why Hephaestus' children had completely abandoned the nature of beauty but it was my job to set their minds' straight.

"And three weeks ago you cursed Athena with a beauty spell!" Zeus exclaimed.

"That was a blessing!" I said defensively.

"Aphrodite!"Zeus yelled.

"This was your last straw!" He continued.

"Punishment is in order!" He said.

I gulped and in the corner of her eye I saw Artemis smirking.

"Z-Zeus I'm sure we could talk this-"

"Aphrodite,goddess of love, to your selfishness,vain and narcissistic actions,I curse you too know what it's like to be without your beauty! To live as a mortal!"He said as thunder clouds rolled and I screamed and then saw only darkness.


I shot up from her bed.

It was just a bad dream. I thought relieved.

I looked around,the room had black walls and had looked unfamiliar but I was used to waking up in different beds.

I swung myself gratefully off the bed still half asleep and entered to what had seemed to be a bathroom. I yawned and rubbed my eyes then turned to the mirror and opened my eyes.

Then I screamed.

No! I thought.

This can't be happening! I said panicking.

I looked at the..thing that had replaced my beautiful reflection in the curly displaced brown hair replaced her beautiful locks, and its dull blue eyes had replaced her sparkling ones!And it's freckles!No,they hadn't look like freckles,they'd look like spots of dirt spread across its face!

I heard a knock on the door.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!"I said almost breaking into a sob.

Umm sweetie?Its Dad,is everything okay?I heard you scream."he asked in a kind voice.

I couldn't help myself as I started to sob.

"Why me!" I said to myself .

I am too important to be stuck in a mortal body and I will not tolerate it!

"LEAVE THIS INSTANCE!" I said now with anger. Tempted to turn this man into a gerbil.

I did not deserve this! I am Aphrodite!This is beneath me!

"Mel…" the insolent mortal had replied.

So that's what this..disgusting creatures name was...it was so plain and distasteful!

Mel...short for Melanie probably but still revolting.

"I SAID LEAVE!" I cried out.

I heard the man sigh.

"Alright,but you should probably hurry up in there,it's your first day of school! Don't be late!" he said and then walked off.

I pushed myself against the wall and slid down slowly.

"I'm hideous!" I cried out outing my head into my hands as tears rolled down my it puffy no doubt,this creature was probably an ugly crier

"Well you're not that bad but there's room for improvement." An amused voice said that I could recognize from anywhere. I lifted my head quickly and saw the one and only-

"Hermes!"

I say jumping up and then hugged him. He had a UPS uniform on and smelt like knock off cologne ,but I wasn't one to judge at the moment.

"I'm so glad you've come to rescue from this nightmare! I thought would actually have to live as a..a mortal!" I said squeezing Hermes with gratefulness.

"Yeah,about that.."Hermes said taking his hands off mischievous blue eyes were suddenly interested in the floor.

"Hermes!What is it!"I say with my eyebrows furrowed.

"I'm not here to take you back Di." He said scratching the back of his head.

"Then what could you possibly be here for!"I say throwing my hand up on the air.

"I'm here to help,and Zeus didn't send me,so I suggest you listen up." Hermes said.

I sighed and motioned for him to continue.

"So you are or er..were the goddess love so when Zeus took that from you,you lost your domain of it."He said as I frowned.

"Thanks for reminding me."I murmured as Hermes continued.

"So..in order to get it back ,you have to get someone to fall in love with you, true love, not fake." He said.

There was a pause of silence.

"Well that's it!" I say with joy.

Hermes nods.

"Well this will be easier than I thought,some teenage mortal boy has to fall in love with me and I'll be out of here !" I say with a rush of excitement.

"Yeah but it's probably not going to be as easy as you think because,y'know."He says pointing to the mirror.

I look at the mirror.

Oh yes,that.

"Nothing makeup and my charm won't solve,now my host's father has told me that today is the first day of school so I must look the best! So,I will require the best clothes for school you have to offer."

"Di ya can't just demand stuff like that I-"

"And a hairbrush to tame this atrocity."I interrupted.

Hermes sighed.

"Alright Di, remember why you are here, and remember what ya have to do to get out ." He says then snapping his fingers then vanishing. I open the bathroom door and looked to my bed to see boxes of clothes.

"Clothes!"I squealed practically diving into surrounded by beautiful things made me feel better.

I stood up and began to open the boxes.

"Alright,let's do this."


After at least 40 minutes of picking the right outfit I finally got the right outfit.I look to the left of the bed and saw a black backpack and scrunched my nose in disapproval.

"It will have to do." I sighed and picked up the pack and headed downstairs.

This mortal's house was actually..nice ,it was modern house that was white like Apollo's teeth. I walked into the kitchen and saw a note in the fridge and curiously took it off and read it.

Hey sweetie! It's mom! Sorry I couldn't drop you off at school but I want you to have a terrific day at school! Make new friends and good memories !

~Love,

Mom

P.S your sandwich is in the fridge.

I frowned and crumpled up the note and opened the fridge and saw a peanut butter and banana sandwich in the fridge with a posted note saying "Mel"

I looked at it with disgust.

"Do mortals have no decency!" I say to my self while picking the sandwich up carefully and throwing it away.

Suddenly I heard an engine running and looked out my window to see a yellow and black shook bus drive by the house.

"No!"I yelled as I ran through the door so quickly and chased after the bus ,but the humans weak lungs had left me wheezing and about to collapse on the sidewalk.

I heard a car pull up.

"Hey are you okay?"A male voice said.

I continued to wheeze and took deep breaths.

"Yeah I'm—"

Suddenly all the air that I had struggled to gather had disappeared when I saw his eyes.

I had seen many,many beautiful eyes but none like were blue,but not just blue,the kind of blue that calmed you down by just looking at were so deep it was like I was diving into the his hair..his golden locks that shined like gold underneath the sun and that was unsuccessfully pushed back from his forehead .

I meant to say something on the lines of "Now I am" or "You could make me feel better" but all that came out was.

"W-wow"I said as my knees almost turned into of course never happened as an immortal but while stuck in this mortal body,I was defenseless.

I collapsed.

The boy jumped out of his convertible and ran to the sidewalk to my side and I was face to face with his blue eyes.

And then he smile which made me want to melt right then and there.

"Hey there."He said reaching his hand out for me to grab .

I grabbed it as he pulled me up.

"My names Ryan."He said still smiling and extending his hand for me to shake it.

I took it.

"My name is A- er Mel." I said blushing.

"Well Mel,I see that you've missed your bus so if ya want,I could give you a ride."he said kindly.

I bit my lip.

"How do you know what school I go to?"I ask.

"I've seen ya around." He said smoothly then walking to the car and opening the passenger door.

"M'lady." He said bowing and motioning me into the car. I giggled and walked to his car and sat down.

"Why thank you Sir Ryan." I say bowing my head.

He gives me a bright smiled and gets in his car as we go to would be easier than I thought.
