Looks Aren't Everything- Chapter One
Disclaimer; I do not own Class of the Titans, unfortunately. (Sobs)
Anyway, this is my third Class of the Titans fanfic so far. Yay! I hope you guys like this one, and, if you do, please feel free to review. Opinions are always welcomed! Anyway, I get the feeling that I'm just about boring you to death with pointless notes, so, on with the story.
It was an abnormal night in the lives seven teenagers as they lounged around the brownstone, feeling completely and totally relaxed. For once in the hero's lives, they were not being chased by monsters, or in mortal peril, or trying to stop another one of Cronus's evil plots. For once, the seven heroes were allowed to just kick back and relax.
Finally.
Though, only one person was taking full advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity. Neil lay sprawled across the living room sofa, smiling slightly as he skimmed through multiple magazines. (Most of which featured him on the cover.) The descendant of Narcissus moved only to check out his reflection in the small golden pocket mirror that he carried with him everywhere, or to take a sip of the glass of water beside him. (Pure spring water, mind you. None of the bottled stuff for him.)
"Is he even breathing?" Neil jerked up slightly, looking across the room to where five of his six companions lay hunched around a sleeping Herry.
"Do you guys have to do that?" Neil asked, running a hand through his bleach blond hair. "You're totally disturbing my rest. Some of us are trying to relax."
"What's your problem? We were only talking." Atlanta said, glaring at her smug teammate.
"Yeah." Neil replied, turning the page of his magazine. "Talking loudly."
"Whatever." Atlanta glared at Neil for another moment before turning back to Herry. "Should we wake him up?"
"Nah, he deserves a rest after that fight with the giants today." Theresa said, looking around at her teammates, all of whom were nodding. (Aside from Herry and Neil, of course.) Theresa was referring to the incident that had occurred earlier as the teens were taking a stroll around the park, when two of Cronus's 'minions' (For lack of a better word) Had met and promptly ambushed them. Archie rubbed the back of his head and yawned.
"Well, if he deserves a rest, so do we. I don't know about you guys, but I'm beat!" With this, Archie glanced pointedly at Atlanta, who blushed slightly, rubbing her arm. Atlanta had been forced to take on one of the giants on her own, and had left Central Park with more then just a scratch.
"Yeah, I'm tired too." Atlanta stood up, rubbing her eyes and walking towards the door. She stopped just before she left the room, turning around.
"I agree with Archie. We all deserve a rest. Well, almost all of us."
Neil looked up once again as he felt five pairs of eyes come to rest upon him. He sighed as he saw the accusing glares of his friends, closing his magazine.
"Aw, come on you guys. I helped, too!" This remark was met by more then one fit of laughter as his statement began to sink into his teammate's minds.
"Sorry, Neil." Jay chuckled. "But I really wouldn't classify running and hiding while checking for acne in your mirror as helping."
"I was not checking for acne! I was, erm…trying to…scare the giants away with light from my mirror."
"About that, Neil…it's ogre's that hate light, not giants."
"Can't blame a guy for trying."
"Actually, yeah, we can." Odie snickered, recalling many incidents where Neil's rash actions had nearly gotten them all killed. "Good night, Neil."
Odie got up and left, followed shortly by Archie and Atlanta as the pair headed towards their respective dormitories. Theresa and Jay bade each other goodnight and walked out, leaving only Neil and Herry behind.
"I guess it's just you and me, buddy." Neil sighed. This remark was met by a loud snore from Herry as the larger boy rolled off of his armchair and onto the floor. Neil stood up, walking towards his dorm.
"Never mind. I guess that a sleeping strong man doesn't make for the best conversation, huh?" Herry snored again, as Neil finally left the room. "Apparently I was right." The blond paused as images of his friends laughing at him flashed across his mind. "At least I was right about something, for once."
Aw, poor Neil. XD
Anyway, please feel free to review, as I mentioned before. I'll do my best to reply. Oh- by the way, if you have any suggestions for upcoming chapters, please let me know. Thanks!
