"Who's that?" asked Persephone as she sat down with her goddess girl friends. Though she just noticed her, she was hard to miss with her fiery red hair.
"Her name is Pyrrha Nikos. She's a mortal," replied Athena without looking up from her textscroll.
"I don't care about her name. She just looks stunning with her hair and her vivid green eyes!" said Aphrodite with her eyes on her. She winced. "But her clothing could use some work. I mean she is wearing bronze!"
Persephone stifled a laugh. Aphrodite's snooty look was hard not to laugh at!
Pyrrha actually did look kind of nice. Then, she stood up to go out of the cafeteria.
Class was going to start soon, but not 'til 20 minutes. So she walked over to the olive grove for some peace and quiet. She sat down and picked some lilies and started to weave a flower crown. Then, Hades came outside and made a beeline to Persephone.
"Hey," greeted Hades.
"Hey," replied Persephone. Her face lit up a bit when she saw his face.
"So have you heard of the new mortal, Pyrrha?" asked Hades.
"Yeah. I haven't talked to her, though," said Persephone. She didn't know why he brought her up. It seemed so strange!
Why did he bring her up all of a sudden? Persephone thought. Is he interested in her or something? Does he like her? As in like-like her?
She didn't know but she decided to not worry about it. She and Hades are really great friends! They even like each other! So she doesn't think that there would be a problem if a girl is here. She smiled at Hades just as the lyrebell started to ring.
"Two minutes until class!" said the herald.
"Dang it! Anyway, see you after school," said Persephone. Hades shifted from one foot to another.
"Actually, I need to go to the Underworld to set a matter so I don't think I can see you after school," said Hades slowly.
"Can I come? I've been there before," offered Persephone.
"Uh, class is going to start soon so shouldn't you be on your way? I won't be able to see you after school though. Visit in the Underworld at 6 pm, 'kay?" Hades told Persephone. Persephone felt confused, and maybe a little hurt, that Hades didn't let her come visit after school, which ended at 3 pm. She kissed him goodbye and left for class. When she looked back, he wasn't there.
Looks like somebody went to the Underworld, chided Persephone. She ran to her last class and sat down just as the lyrebell rang.
