Here's my first fanfic! take pity on me if it sucks really bad... well here you go
I looked down at my Hephaestus made cell phone. Huh … Aphrodite again. Probably just wants me to help her find the perfect bracelet to go with her newest outfit.
It's not in my position to refuse though, being the official servant to the gods.
My name is Lea, a girl of 15 for forever. Now, most people haven't ever heard of me and that's because I'm the most recent addition to the immortals.
I started out as a normal mortal. Wanted nothing more than to grow up, get my dream job as an archeologist, and move to my own apartment by a lake. Instead, my original dream life was pulled away and replaced with one that was even better, depending on how you looked at it. Today was another good eternal day, but I remember the first day I learned about the gods…
2 Years ago (still a mortal)
"Are you sure this is okay? I know you already have your half-cousin Mark coming, but I don't know if I'm the right support. I barley even know her!" I told my friend Ricky.
"Don't worry; she'll be fine towards you. It's girl support, or whatever you call it. I just…don't know how she's going to take being dumped after one and a half months of dating. She's been getting really needy, and is always complaining that I don't do anything for her. Really! Every time she needs money, I lend it to her. Needs a ride, fine I'll just take the longer route home. Needs a sport for collage credits, I bribe the coach to allow her a space in the cheer squad. I'm sick of her, but I know she can get really, really angry, and I don't want to be alone when she blows," he admitted.
"Still, you decided on you half-cousin and a girl who barley knows her for support? Not the smartest move," I said as we walked into the Smooth Smoothie Shop. "Oh god, there she is talking to your cousin."
We walked over and sat down at the table where they were talking. I got an icy glare from her that told me she hadn't forgiven me for 'accidentally' helping some friends stuff trash in her gym locker and "ruining, like, the best shoes in the world", as she put it. Immediately then, she started questioning Ricky.
"Ricky, why did you make me come here? I'm not even thirsty and you brought this trash girl with you and even though your cousins nice, I still wish you hadn't called me to meet you here cause I was about to go shopping and—"
"Janelle, we need to talk," he started, "I've never been good with other people, but here it goes. I know we've been going out for a while, but I don't think 'we' will work out any longer. I like you and everything but I can't go on like this. But we can still be —"
"Don't even say the word 'friends'," she said in a stern voice, "We've been, like, the best couple ever! Plus, we have been going out for over one and a half months. After this long, your in a committed relationship and should definitely NOT DUMP YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" and with that she stormed out of the shop.
"Wait, Janelle! I still need to talk to you about getting my stuff back! Ugh… I'll be back. Don't want her breaking any cars now do we?" he said, running after her.
Well now, this was awkward. My sort of best friend just ran off and left me with some guy I barley know at a table. All alone. Just us.
"So…" I said, trying to get over this uncomfortable silence.
"So, you're Lea right? Ricky told me a little about you. You like Greek mythology, right?" he said. He had a mischievous grin on his face, which made me wonder if he was making fun of me.
"Oh, just a little," I said. Big understatement. I loved the old myths with their tragedies, and heroic love stories. Plus, the idea of having gods looking down from above made some of the biggest natural questions easily answered. All those big equations scientists used to make sense of things, just made my head spin.
"What's your favorite?" he asked
"Possibly the one about Andromeda, or maybe the one about the nine-headed Hydra."
And with that last word, the front entrance burst apart.
