Second chapter of my story! I liked the way the first chapter ended up (of course there were mistakes, but don't worry, I'm planning to solve them in the future) Thanks to all of you who reviewed/fav/followed the story, even if the story had only one chapter.

But don't worry! Of course I'm going to continue this story, after all, I'm just starting it! Let's continue!

-Ch 2. A shopping afternoon-

A week passed since you met Athena. You yawned and sat in your bed while you rubbed your eyes. It was Saturday morning, so you could wake up late.

"Honey! Breakfast is ready!" You heard your mother calling for you. Then, both of your eyes opened wide. You remembered that Apollo sent to you a message telling that he was felling alright, so now you can advise the girls and go out with the three of them.

You jumped from the bed in excitement. "Coming mom!" You said while running downstairs.

"Wow! You seem the happiest one in the world! I missed something important?" Your mother asked while you sat in the kitchen table and started to eat a sandwich.

"Nothing mom. It's just today I, Apollo, Juniper and a new girl in class are going together at the shopping centre."

"A new girl? Sounds amazing! What's her name?"

"Athena Cykes."

"How exciting! Ohh! You remind me so much to your father! I remember that night he invited me to eat in a fancy restaurant, then we went to a party were we danced together… Ohh! I loved your father since that night!" (I'm glad that you two are very happy together…)

"Well, then today you're out for shopping sweetie?" Your mother asked while finishing her breakfast.

"Yeah. When I get prepared I'll go to Apollo's house and then we'll meet with the girls at the shopping center. Don't worry, mom. I'll make sure to come back before 8 PM."

"No, you can come back when you want. You're growing up sweetie, and I know you're very responsible and a kind person. Just… don't get yourself in troubles ok?" Your mother said hugging you and crying, seeing her little baby being a very mature man/woman.

"I promise mom" You said returning the hug. When you ended up your breakfast, you took a shower, brushed your teeth and dressed up. You said goodbye to your mother and headed to Apollo's house.

You knocked the door and Apollo opened it with a smirk. "Hey! How you've been?"

"Better than you from what I see." You said to him, saluting him with a brofist.

"What did the girls told you?"

"I phoned Juniper minutes ago. She said that we'll meet in the main entrance of the shopping center."

"Alright. I'm relieved that you come too because I'll be very nervous with Juniper, even if Athena was there too… What is she like by the way?"

"She's a very cheerful and kind girl. She also have plenty of knowledge in law matters, she's very clever."

"Cool! I think I know who I will ask for homework" Apollo laughed playing with his horns.

Apollo took his phone and wallet and both of you headed walking to the shopping center. In the main entrance of the center you could see Juniper and Athena waiting for you two. Athena was wearing the same suit she wore in her first day of school, while Juniper was wearing her long dress and her hat with sunflowers in it. Apollo gulped when he saw Juniper.

"Hi (Y/N)! Apollo!" Athena said running in your direction.

"You might be Athena right? I'm Apollo Justice, nice to meet you!" Apollo said waving his hand with hers.

"Nice to meet you too Polly!"

"Polly?" Apollo asked, confused.

"Junie nicknamed you Polly, so I thought you wouldn't mind if I called you like that."

"Thena!" Juniper said trying to quiet her. Of course, neither you or Apollo knew the existence of this nickname. But you could bet that he was very happy for knowing his loved one was naming him in this cute way.

"W-Well, no I don't mind." Apollo couldn't stop to stare at Juniper. "W-Wow Juniper… Y-You look so… pr-pretty in that d-dress…"

Juniper opened her eyes wide in surprise. Then, she blushed a lot while she hid her face under her hat. "Th-Thank you…" (Good shot Apollo!)

"Well! What are we waiting for? Let's go shopping already!" Athena said making a little punch between her hands. You and the lovey-dovey pair nod at her. You entered in a fancy clothes shop where there were plenty of jewelry, dresses and very fashionable clothes. Athena and Juniper felt like children in a candy shop while Apollo acted indifferent.

"Where was that dress Junie?" Athena asked her best friend.

"I think it's right there, near the changing rooms. You can try on by yourself. I'm going to try on those earrings." Juniper said pointing at some earrings in the display cabinet "Can you stay with me, Apollo?" Juniper asked him blushing slightly.

"What?! Well uh… Y-Yeah, of course!" Apollo said trying to be natural.

"Then, can you accompany me while I'm trying on the dress (Y/N)?" Athena asked to you. You could feel your heart running a marathon right now, but you didn't want to disappoint her.

"O-Of course…" Athena smile at you when she saw you agreed to her. She took your hand and guided you where the dress was. She pointed at it. Then, she looked at you and asked "It's beautiful, doesn't it?"

You didn't know much about dresses, but it seemed pretty. "I think so."

"I'm going to the changing room for try on. Want to join me and give me your opinion (Y/N)?"

"W-Well, o-okay…" You two headed to the changing rooms. Athena entered in one of them while you waited for her in the hallway. Minutes later, she came out of the changing room wearing the dress. Just in the moment you saw her you froze; she was even more gorgeous in that dress. You didn't notice, but you stared at her during several seconds.

"What do you think?"

"Em… uh… I… I think… Wow, I think… Athena, it's very beautiful…"

She giggled seeing that you liked it "So, do you think I must buy it?"

"Totally! You don't know how pretty you are with it!"

Athena jumped in surprise and blushed slightly "Y-You think so?"

"Absolutely!" Then, you felt your heart rate increased again, realizing the compliment you made to her.

Athena started to stroke her ponytail, blushed by your comment "Th-Thanks. I-I'll buy it then." She entered again in the changing room to put on her clothes.

Minutes later, the four of you were out of the shop. Juniper bought the pair of earrings she mentioned while Athena bought the dress. When the purchasing ended up, you decided to get some drinks in a cafe before going home.

"I'll have a tea." Juniper said to the waiter.

"I'll have an orange juice." Athena said.

"We'll have a soft drink." You and Apollo said. The waiter nodded taking notes of every order. Then, Juniper thought about something that could make you and Apollo know Athena better.

"Athena, can I tell them 'you know what'?" Juniper whispered to her.

"What?! Of course not! They'll think I'm a weirdo or something!"

"No, they wouldn't do that! They are very kind people that never made fun of anyone."

"Well, yeah… I could bet but… it's just I'm not prepared to tell them yet."

"What are you two muttering?" Apollo asked confused.

"Oh! Uh… Athena wanted to tell you something!" Juniper said while Athena stared at her with a killer face.

"What is it?" You asked drinking your soft drink.

"Well… I-I um… I was thinking… Got it! Halloween is near, right?! I was thinking if we could go to the haunted house in that amusement park at the outskirts of the city!"

You and Apollo looked at each other; the idea was tempting and there were no school projects. Why not? You smiled at the girls and nodded. Both Athena and Juniper returned the smile, but Juniper whispered again to Athena "Why you didn't tell them?"

"I already told you; I'm not ready! And the next time you corner me, warn me first!"

Athena and Juniper went to the bathroom while you and Apollo paid the bill. That's when your friend asked you something curious "Hey (Y/N)… Have you any interest in Athena?"

"What?"

"It's just… the way you were looking at her, it reminds me a lot when I'm watching Juniper. So… You like her?"

"*sigh* Perhaps man. Perhaps…"

"You're not sure?"

"I don't know. Maybe you're right, maybe I like her. The first time I saw her I felt like watching a goddess fallen from heavens. And when she stares at me, talk to me, or even when she showed up with that beautiful dress in the shop I could felt my heart running wild…"

"Yep. (Y/N), my friend: You're in love. Because you're feeling exactly what I feel every time I see Juniper."

"Apollo, you remember that you told me not to say you love her?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, I'll be quiet if you don't tell that I like Athena. Deal?"

"Deal" Apollo said while you squeezed your hands together.

When the girls got out of the bathrooms, you said goodbye to each other and every one of you headed to your respective home. But suddenly, you heard Athena calling you from behind. You turned around, but you started to sweat when you discovered Athena and only her, alone.

"Can I ask you something?" Athena said innocently.

"Y-Y-Yeah… What do y-you need?"

"Well… Junie and I were planning to go to the cinema in two weeks to see a film that I love to see. But she said that she was busy that day so… um…" She blushed a bit while she played with her ponytail "I-I was thinking if you could go with me…" (Wait… She means me and her? Just the two of us?!) "I-If you don't want to come I can understand! It's just that Juniper was the only near friend I had here… but you seemed a very nice person so…"

"I would love to go with you!" You said bravely with all the guts you had. The sudden decision made Athena to stare at you with her eyes wide open. But she smiled relieved that she was right about you.

"What's the film name?" You asked interested.

"Frozen. I'm very excited about that film! I know it's a film for kids, but… I don't care! Nobody has to tell me what films I can or cannot see!" You smiled at her determination.

"I don't mind. Films for kids are always a very good choice. I think I'm used to see kid's films because of my little cousin!" She giggled at your comment. You planned with her all the details and headed back to your houses.

You were very excited yet nervous. In two weeks you'll have your first meeting with Athena! And there will be just the two of you! You gulped feeling a bit dizzy while you got out the shopping center.

To be continue...
