And I'm starting another story even though I shouldn't be. Gotta love me! But I had this idea stuck in my head and I didn't want to lose it… so…
I bring to you….
CHAPTER 1
High School Never Ends
Bowling for Soup
4 years you think for sure
That's all you've got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
Then when you graduate you take a look around
And say 'Hey wait!'
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over, aw that's great
The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money and who's got the honeys?
Who's kinds cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you still don't have the right friends
Nothing changed besides the faces the names and the trends.
High School Never Ends…
"Hey, Artem-"
"No."
"Artemis! What ar-"
"Never in a million years there, buddy."
Artemis had to be one of the most interesting girls in Field High School. She shimmed with perfectness, maybe due to her long auburn hair that swayed with her hips, or her sliver eyes that would rule over everything that met there gaze or maybe even the fact that she would reject any boy that stepped with in a five foot area to her. All the girls wanted her looks; all the boys wanted her to greet them with a smile and a flirt. Artemis was sort of what you could call a roll model; of coarse if anyone really knew who she was things would be a little different. Truly, she was the goddess of the hunt, moonlight and wild creatures. A few others had been transported down to the mortal world with her. Apollo, her twin brother, was conceived to be the class clown and a guy that would talk to anyone. Aphrodite was that cheery cheerleader captain who you just sort of went along with whatever they said or it could get bad. And lastly they're was the King of the Underworld himself, in all of his glory, Hades. Although no one question how four kids all with Greek god names had managed to some how end up in one high school.
About a Month Before Hand
"Oh please. No way even with the help of every mortal in the world, could you, Artemis, survive a few months in 'High School.'" Zeus scoffed leaning back in his throne and waving a careless hand at his daughter.
"What makes you say that, father?" Artemis growled back through gritted teeth as she clutched the side of her throne as she leaned forward her eyes glaring.
"One, you don't like mortals, two, you only like girls and don't let guys with in a little area of you, and three, your to socially challenged to be even thought about with something likeHigh school." Zeus said. Artemis shut up at the direct comment at her.
"Brother, I do believe some of them could survive it all mentally in one piece. Others not so much." Hades butted in grinning evil. The twelve Olympians had been greatly distracted with there original plan of debating if Zeus could cause the next natural disaster or would it be Poseidon or Hades' turn.
"And by 'others' you mean?" Artemis growled at the god of the underworld.
"You, for once, you annoying little twin over there, too." Hades started earning a cry of offense from Apollo. "Aphrodite too." He finished. All three of the gods and goddess stood up Aphrodite crossing her arms firmly across her cheat.
"Well, I am far from being socially challenged like out little Artemis. I could survive some amount of time in the mortal world and in High school." Aphrodite insisted as Hades stood up. "You, mister bad boy, would not do as well." Artemis and Apollo nodded in agreement as the two twins got that look on there face that could be described a pure hatred.
"Hmmm… alright then if you three think you can survive in high school longer then me then I'll make a bet with you three." Hades said stroking his chin in thought. "Which ever of us four can last it longer will have the other three serve on him or her for three whole days." Hades challenged causing a few of the other gods to smirk and nudge each other as they thought how that would work out.
"Deal."
Back To the Present Time
Artemis continued her mad dash to her locker and then onto her next class which she had some how ended up with Apollo as her lap partner. Three guess how that went when they where in Chemistry. Tugging stuff out of the over jammed locker she muttered godly swears under her breathes about five of the books came tumbling out of the locker. A few kids behind her laughed. Artemis threw the death glare over her shoulder causing them to shut up as she worked to stuff the books she didn't want back into the locker before rushing off again ignoring them if anyone said anything to her even if it was a girl. She only talked to her fellow gods, mostly Apollo. Apollo and Aphrodite had proved to be very popular in the new school. Every one thought Aphrodite was the best and hottest cheerleader they ever had and then Apollo was just down right funny along with be a pretty boy. Hades on the other hand almost everyone found rather scary. Not that he wasn't in any way or form. To mortals he looked like he breathed death you could see how that might scare the poor little children we call mortals between the ages of 15 to 18.
"It's all about how you act." Apollo had insisted when Artemis had walked into class and dropped almost dead in a seat next to him. "You, sis, do not act like a teenage girl. I mean come on! Just look at your self." He added waving his hands in a motion to her attire.
"What's wrong with it?" Artemis muttered not really caring as her brother went into a full blown rant about it. She looked down at the shirt that came up to her neat and jean shorts. Not short-shorts just pain shorts.
"Loosen up a bit. You have to cover up every little thing that your body might show to wanting mortal." Apollo said leaning on the table.
"Ewww… Apollo that's just disgusting! Guys stood be killed anyway. They are completely useless. All you do is yell at strong young women to do things. You over rate things and expect every body to just put up with your stupid baseball games!" Artemis ranted slamming her hand strongly down on the table. Apollo had gained a unhealthy obsession like a lot of other guys in watching all the mortal sports games he could.
"Thanks. That really makes me feel good. In fact I feel touched almost." Apollo said sarcastically as he put a hand on his chest.
"Shut the hell up." Artemis replied sticking her tough out at her brother. They both jumped out of there skins as a ruler slammed down on there desk admitting a large slap around the strangely silent room.
"Language, Miss Miller." The teacher Mr. Brockman growled from his spot towering over the two twins. Brockman had to be the meanest teacher in the whole building. Either you where on his bad side or well his bad side. They're was no good side to the man. Artemis muttered something that sounded like sorry before her face disappeared into a deep scowl. The class continued into a long lecture consisting of at least one kid falling asleep and Apollo consistently poking Artemis' leg under the desk. About midway through class Artemis reached over and gave Apollo's leg one of her hardest pinches with out taking her eyes off of the teacher. He cried out in pain earning him a glare from Mr. Brockman and a few chuckles from around the class room. How what that funny? Once the twins managed to escape the room of torture did they're conversation continued.
"That hurt, Miss Miller." Apollo snarled as he trailed behind his sister. Artemis simple shrugged her shoulder. "My leg was bleeding! Bleeding!" He snapped attempting to gain a little more of a reaction from the goddess.
"You could have kept that to your self, Apollo." Artemis replied simply as she came to her locker yet again to gather things as they started to get ready to go home. Apollo muttered something that rhymed with 'Mitch' under his breath as they headed for his locker next. "What was your first clue?" Artemis said back as she waited for her brother a few feet away from him playing his a stray stand of her hair before tucking it behind her ear.
"But anyway moving one to the conversation about your choice of clothing." Apollo said as he shoved a few books at Artemis and managed to smack her nose. The back of his blonde head was greeted with the death glare by Artemis as she took the books and rolled her eyed. "You should borrow some skirts of something from Aphrodite or like a, amazingly, low cut shirt." Apollo said as he shut his locker firmly and tauntingly pulled at the cuff of Artemis' shirt.
"Never, even if the gods depended on it would I wear a skirt like the ones Aphrodite wears." Artemis shuddered shoving the books back into her brother's hands. Apollo pouted as he worked to get his books and very disorganized binders into his even more disorganized backpack.
"Come on…"
"No." Artemis growled taking off at a quick pace for the ten minuet walk from the school to the house the gods where using as there 'home' for the time spent at the school. Apollo was hot on her heels before sprinting the last few yards to jump at her from behind.
"Rawr!" He said spazzly pinning her down to the lawn ground in front of the house.
"Apollo!" Artemis wined struggling underneath her brother as he pinned her arms to the ground only to be rewarded with the only movement Artemis could mange in the way he had her pinned down which with giving him a kick on the ass. "Lemme go!" She cried putting on the side of her that connected her to Apollo. He winced sigletly.
"Say your sorry for pinching me." Apollo said carefully taking one hands from her wrist and bringing it slowly to her side in a threatening way.
"No, no, no don't tickle me!" Artemis giggled as Apollo smirking doing just as she told him not to. The goddess burst out into laughter as she batted hopelessly at his face with her free hand
"Say you're sorry. Come on! Do it!" Apollo insisted although he was smiling. Artemis greeted his words with more laughter her face unable to break the smile on her lips.
"S-Sorry!" She choked out between laughter as Apollo let her hands go with a confident smile on his face. Artemis recovered as she sat up Apollo still not getting off of her.
"Sorry about what?" He asked crossing his arms firmly although a smile was still etched on his handsome face.
"Sorry about pinching you." Artemis giggled straitening Apollo's bangs with one of her hands. Crooked things always annoyed her.
"Good sister!" Apollo said standing up and pulling her up with him before the two headed for the front door in a much calmer fashion. They entered the house which was pretty simple but bigger enough for all four of the gods to get ready and have there own bedrooms and such. Hades was already home, not that he was doing anything much productive. He was stretched out on the coach his 'homework' set on the table beside while he sat there staring into nothingness.
"He's having withdrawal symptoms. Hasn't been around the dead long enough." Artemis giggled to the twin as Hades looked over at the giggling twins which immediately shut them up.
"Get the hell out of here." The god of the dead growled. Artemis and Apollo stood straight and mock saluted before taking off laughing followed by swears from Hades.
"Stupid twins…" Hades muttered to himself as Artemis and Apollo barged into the kitchen Artemis grabbing a water bottle before running off to her room 'to do homework.' Apollo one the other hand immediately headed out side to swing up into the tree he had claimed his own. Artemis sat down on her bed simple swinging the bag her bag down by the closet where something reached out its hand to snag the bag and began scribbling down answers. Artemis had some how managed to summon some all powerful hooded Greek nerd to do her homework. She made sure her door was closed before summoning her sliver bow and arrows before taking a shot at the wall where many holes were from other days of the same thing over a over again. The sliver arrow dug fully into the wall all the way to the feathers. The goddess of the hunt smile. It was one of the many ways she was able to keep track of her hunters. If the sliver arrow dug completely into the wall it meant her hunters had managed to kill what ever monster that Artemis had sent them to kill, and no harm had been done to the girls. If the arrow went partway in and then fell to the ground the hunters had killed the monster but one or more hunters had been lost in the processes. If the arrow bounced harmlessly off the wall it meant they did not catch the monster that day.
Plus it was fun to shoot walls
She continued to pick up one of her books and lay flat on her back reading the book before the bag came back out of the closet with all of the homework done. Artemis smiled and groaned at the same time as Hades called her name.
"What!" She screamed back peeking her head out of the door.
"Aphrodite wants you to go meet her at the school. Apperently she refuses to walk home alone." Hades yelled back from the bottom of the stairs. Artemis stamped her foot down in anger.
"Why me?" She wined.
"Just do it!" Hades shot back giving her a glare. A knowing this was coming from the death god she dropped her book back on her bed and stormed down the stairs putting her mortal head phones in and turning them up as loud as she could stand as Hades lectured her on something. Artemis nodded and smiled like she knew what he was saying before he pushed her out the door and she walked briskly back down the street towards the school. She was not paying any attion to her surroundings as she saw Aphrodite waving at her from the school with all of the other cheerleaders nearby. As Artemis pulling out one headphone she almost turned tail and ran from the screaming admitting from the crazy cheerleaders. Artemis noticed with a sigh she was shorted then all the others. Aphrodite took no notice in her discomfort as she lead the goddess of the hunt around and forced her to hug all of the cheerleaders and tell them her name before just after the last one Aphrodite paused.
"Oh wait! Artemis I forgot something be right back!" Aphrodite said as all the other cheerleaders took off for there homes or cars. Artemis slumped down on the edge of one of the school's side walks and didn't even look up as a old rusted pick up truck stopped across the street and a man stepped out of the truck heading straight for Artemis a old rag and duck tape in his hands. Artemis' with her blasting head phone didn't even give him a second glance till he grabbed her wrist pulling her up harshly.
"Let me go." Artemis said calmly as she tried to pull out of the man's grip as he moved in on her. The man didn't say a thing as Artemis struggled till she brought her fist down sharply on his hand that was clasped around her arm. The man gasped slightly only to dive at her attempting to get a piece of duck tape on her mouth and missing by get the piece on her nose. Artemis was about to aim a blow in the middle of his chest when they're was a call from behind and another man, this one looking more like a seventeen year old ran at her from behind yelling something she couldn't under stand as she pushed the man at his slight distraction from the boy. This time the man fought back as he attempted to slam his fist into her jaw old to have Artemis hook her arm around his and pushing in to his side as she shot out her leg catching a part of the leg that if hit correctly will simple cause the leg to buckle under the person it was moved upon. It did as the move was told to as the other kid came closer. In a few more seconds Artemis had the man pinned to the ground her foot placed firmly on his chest before she let him go to go after the boy. The man stumbled to his feet and took off back to the truck.
"Hey nice j- oof!" The seventeen year old started only to have Artemis' foot slammed firmly into his stomach. Artemis again slammed him down to the ground the boy's head slamming straight into the edge of the side walk. "Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm not gonna hurt you you crazy bitch!" He cried holding his hands above his face as Artemis stood over him her fist posed as if to strike. "I was coming to help you!"
"How do I know your telling the truth?" She growled.
"You'll have to trust me."
"Trust?"
