I'm sorry if this is really short and crappy. I'm a newbie. Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters and stuff.

ATHENA

The morning light wakes me up. I look at the clock on my bedside table and scream. It's 10 o'clock AM and I was supposed to wake up at 8. Just great! I missed archery training again. Whatever, nothing's can be done now except dress up.

I go to my walk-in closet and can't help but smile. Being a goddess is not so bad at all! As I was searching for clothes, I heard a knock on my door. "Who is it?" I shout. "Your favorite brother!" I don't have a brother and the only person who says those kind of things to me is Hermes. Well, I wish he's really my brother because he does these fun things even though those things are against the rules here. Who am I kidding? I'm Athena and I make the rules here. No, not really.

"What do you want?! I'm naked, you can't come in here!" I shout as loud as I can because there's a possibility that he won't hear me.

"Oh y'know, just Dad looking for you," Hermes says menacingly. This is not good but knowing Hermes, he's lying but it's better to be sure so I quickly dressed up and got to the door and see a super sweaty Hermes.

"You look awful. So, how was archery training? Did Apollo put up a good show again?" I asked him while heading to wherever Dad was. Apollo always put up a good show since he was the "Archer-god". But whenever he does that, despite how many times he'd done that, we all drool because of amazement.

"Same old, same old. But this time it was more boring. And yes, he had his archery show and he did better than the last show since Hera was there and we all know Apollo, he likes to stand out," Hermes said. Yes, training is really boring since we do the same stuff everyday. Apollo is such a pretentious douche.

We reach the living room and we join Dad, who's watching some old movie, in the couch.

"Why didn't you go to training earlier, Athena?" He asked me as expected.

"I overslept. I was up late reading books," I explained. He won't be angry as long as you have an explanation and I think that's the best thing about him.

"Better have some fun now with your brothers & sisters. They're in the pool," I looked at him, smiled and he just smiled back and continued watching the movie he was watching.

We head to the pool where my "brothers & sisters" are having fun. "Sometimes Dad can be a dimwit," I tell Hermes and he just cracked up.

"Well that was the first ever joke you've made that is actually funny! Good job, sis," He said. I'm kind of flattered because it's the first time ever that someone cracked up because of my joke plus he's funniest in the house.

"Thanks but it sounded like an insult. And how many times do I have to remind you that we're not siblings! Well, we're not really siblings here except for Apollo and Artemis," I told him and he just nodded. But seriously, whenever he calls me "sis", I get really annoyed.

By the time we reached the pool, my so called "siblings" are having fun especially Aphrodite. I'm not really surprised at all because Aphrodite is a party girl. She likes to organize parties and have so much fun.

"Hey, Athena! You missed a lot of things-" Ares, who's obviously making me jealous with the things they did, told me and I had to cut him off. "I know and stop rubbing it to my face every single damn time I miss training or whatever thing you all like to do. Just shut your mouth, will you?" I guess that sounded really offensive but I didn't mean to make it sound like that.

"Someone's hotheaded today," Artemis blurts out.

"Oh, will all of you please shut up and have some fun? Athena and Hermes, join us now," shouted Aphrodite. They were all Indian sitting and Hermes and I joined them. I sat between Apollo and Hermes. "Now that Athena's here-" "I think you're forgetting someone," Hermes butts in. "Okay, okay. Now that Athena and Hermes are here, we can start the real fun! We're going to play... TRUTH OR DARE which, of course, will be led by me," Aphrodite says joyfully. This isn't fun. A game led by Aphrodite is not fun. Especially Truth or Dare. She's the most cruel person when it comes to asking the truth and assigning dares. We all groan in reply but she just ignored it anyway.

The first step we do is spin a bottle or something to determine who will be asked of the truth or will be dared. Aphrodite spins the bottle and it stops on Artemis.

Aphrodite grins before asking, "Truth or dare?" I can already see the ruthlessness in her eyes.

"My mind says truth but my heart says dare. So, dare," Artemis said fearfully. I knew that she's going to say dare because she's like one of the toughest here, physically & mentally.

"I dare you to kiss the most handsome god on the lips," Aphrodite said. That's what I'm talking about.

Artemis scans the faces of the gods. Then she approached Ares and kissed him passionately. I had to look away and I saw that Hermes is looking away too. "Gross," he mouths. "I know," I mouth back. Completely gross! My best friend and my number one enemy in combat, kissing?! And to begin with, Ares is not the most handsome! Hermes is but that's my opinion.

"Are you two done or you need a room or something?" Hermes asks. I stifle back my laughter.

"We're done," Artemis says. At last! I think I got a stiff neck from looking away.

The bottle spins again and it stops on Hermes.

"Before anything, I just want to suggest that we should all take dare because picking truth doesn't make any sense. We all know that each one of us are very good liars with the exception of Apollo. As I was saying we're all excellent liars especially Hermes," I tell them. They all agree with me because all of us know that Hermes is going to "cheat".

"You heard her! Now, I dare you to uhm... kiss the smartest, wittiest, most intelligent girl here," Artemis said. I think I'm in trouble, uh-oh.

Hermes turned to face me and his face got closer and closer to mine. I'm starting to panic but it was gone by the time his lips touched mine. Oh gosh, this is... amazing! He keeps kissing me and I kiss him back. The kiss was getting deeper but Aphrodite stopped us, "Can you not do that again? But gosh, that was the sexiest thing that Athena had done in her whole life."

"Uhm thanks?" I really don't know what to say after that. I looked at Hermes and he just smiled at me.

The rest of the game was a blur for me because I can't stop thinking about that kiss.

"You like him now. Because of the kiss," a voice said.

"Who?" I really have no idea.

"Hermes." I finally recognize the voice. Artemis.

"Why would you say that?" I asked.

"It's obvious. Your reaction after the kiss, it tells everything," she said. My mind right now: SHE KNOWS. SHE KNOWS. D U H.

"I-I.." I don't know what to say for the second time today.

"It's okay. At least it's not Ares or Apollo, right?" I nod.

"Just please don't tell anyone especially Hermes," I tell her. No one can know because it might destroy our friendship (Hermes & I).

"Your secret's safe with me," Artemis softly whispered in my ear. I hugged her for a while, it's a gesture we had since we were kids. It means thank you or I love you.

"It's time to get going now. Come on," I told her. It's finally time to go back in Athens School of Gods & Goddesses. Athens. How I missed that place.

We're all done packing and we're now fading to Athens. My home.
