Here's 'Aphrodite' chap 3, I got inspired from reading 'The Lighting Thief'

So here's a summary of how I began the story:

I love reading about the Greek Gods and Goddesses. It's my best subject. So, when I happened to be reading Aphrodite on Wiki, I got inspired to write a story 'bout her, except Aphrodite is Bloom. I might make many stories based on the goddesses, like Flora the Goddess Demeter, but I'm not sure :/

Disclaimer: Camp Half-Blood belongs to 'The Lightning Thief'! I'm just using it because it sounds logical…in a sick twisted way to send Aphrodite here.

I don't own the Winx…sadly.

Oh, and by the way, this chap aint M.


Bloom/Aphrodite POV


I was a red head with large cyan eyes, a slim body and a thing for love.

I believed in love in first sight, I was that type of girl who you would find her head dug into a nice, thick book about Romeo or Juliet, or something romantic. My room was stocked with romantic novels and posters of romance soap-operas. I was starting to get scared with my obsession with love, because one day, my best friend Musa confessed that she liked a jock in our high school, Riven.

Being the romantic me, I tried to set them up. Long story short, Riven ended up asking me out, which I bluntly declined and walked away, frustrated.

Anyways, at lunch that same day, Musa and Riven walked past each other, each crossing their own ways. I was staring and concentrated in the chemistry, and all of a sudden they stopped aside each other. Riven turned to Musa and asked her something I couldn't catch, and next thing I know, they are both attracted to each other.

Scared of my own self, I had made a vow in front of my friends I would drop the subject of love for the rest of my life.

I didn't bother to confess about the incident, and I didn't want Musa to freak out either.

And then that happened.

The jocks decided to talk to us. It was a miracle aside Riven, really. We were just normal girls; no biggie. Oh, let me just add they really weren't talking. They were flirting.

I was irritated by this, since I have managed to pick up some gossip. They flirt then leave like nothing. We wouldn't take this as 'nothing', I was sure of it. Especially Stella. She practically drooled over Brandon.

I took matters into my own hand, forgetting my vow.

I thought Stella would be smarter; she was one of the biggest gossipers. She would have known that, and I was sorta expecting her to aid me in my plan. She didn't even care.

So I turned to Flora. Same story. Then Tec, same thing. Then Layla, and the same old story.

I finally turned to Musa, who accepted.

I ignored Sky as much as I could so I wouldn't back up in my plan. The next day it went into action.

I fished out from the deepest in my closet for some really pretty – ahem, not the correct term. Hot is more like it – clothes and put them on.

It was a corset v-neck top that was crème colored, along with some small red daisy patterns on it. I had to decide between a short pencil skirt or skinny jeans, so I finally decided on my red skinny jeans. Musa lend me her long red cardigan, so I put it on and fixed my hair. I let it loose, something I never, ever did, and let it go wild. My hair was naturally curled at the end, so it looked really nice.

Ok, I am really starting to dislike this plan.

I put on my large black trench coat as I walked down and said goodbye to my parents and Daphne. I caught up with Musa, who was waiting for me nervously.

"Did you do it?" She asked, whispering. I nodded as I unbuttoned the trench coat and showed her my outfit. She nodded. I buttoned it back as we walked to school.

When we got there, I stuffed the over-sized trench coat into my locker, slightly struggling. When I finally did, I slammed the locker shut and my back impacted against it as I let out a huff. Like if on cue, the girls appeared in front of me.

"Nice outfit B, loving the top." Stella said quickly. "Anyways, the boys are looking really cute today! Especially Brandon. I could eat him up!"

"Stella, we are talking about humans here, not cookies." Layla said as she rolled her eyes. "Anyways, Nabu is hotter."

"No way, Helia is." Flora said shyly as a deep blush crawled up on her face. Musa and I raised our eyebrows.

"Yea right." Musa muttered so that I could only hear. I let out a small giggle.

"So, where are the boys?" I asked, sounding uninterested. It should have come out interested, dammit!

"Over by Sky's locker. I feel these weird butterflies!" Stella giggled.

Lovesick.

Now, the jocks, who were the hottest/cutest boys in the school weren't obviously single. Sky was dating Diaspro, Brandon was dating Chimera, Helia was dating Megan, Timmy was dating Eloise and Nabu was dating Lola. Well…Riven was the only single one actually.

The girls were the popular girls of the school.

We were often pestered by them…especially me. I highly suspected the only reason Diaspro pestered me was because she was jealous of my slim body. Big whoop.

"Let's go!" Flora said, snapping me out of thought. "What?"

"Let's go see the boys!" She said patiently as she pulled me across the hall filled with lockers. I groaned loudly as she pulled me, my red converse squeaking. A few heads turned, but turned back to whatever they were doing quickly.

"Musa!" I hissed. She came to my side as I whispered in her ear. "What do I say?"

"Diss him somehow. I don't know…just invent something!" She whispered back. Her eyes suddenly earned an extra glint. I recognized that look. "…blunt."

A charming smile crept up my lips as we giggled. We finally arrived, the boys alone and chatting. Stella stepped in eagerly before introducing us for the 2nd time, fearing they forgot our names. I rolled my eyes when my name came. Naturally, I was last.

"Hello!" Musa said cheerily before nudging me sharply. I glared at her. Right, we were just acting.

"How are your mornings so far?" Sky asked. The girls went one by one and when it was my turn, Musa had to nudge me again to snap me back to attention.

"Good." I said bluntly. Musa giggled quietly. When I spoke blunt, I annoyed a lot of people. And by a lot, I mean a lot. Sky didn't seem bothered, but the rest did. I smiled at them.

"Anyways," Brandon started, and I blocked him out. I was getting ultimately bored, and Musa noticed.

"…football game later tonight…"


After school, and after apprehending that my plan had failed, Musa and I walked home in a glum mood.

I noticed a boy following us.

He didn't look hostile; but he was definitely older than us. Tops, I say 18. I was 16, Musa and the rest of the girls same. Except Stella.

The boy lightly tapped on my soldier, and we both turned.

"Hello there, I'm Grover." (1) I offered a weak smile and shook his hand. I knew him."I couldn't help but want to make a new acquaintance today." I noticed the nervous tone in his voice, but Musa didn't.

"Nice to meet you Grover!" She said cheerily as they shook hands. "I'm Musa and that's my best friend Bloom."

"Nice to meet you," He said, looking at me. "Both."

"Musa, I'll catch up with you." I said. She nodded weirdly and walked down the street. I looked at Grover.

"What is it?" I asked.

"You need to come with me."


(1) Yes I borrowed Grover from 'The lightning thief'.

So yea, hoped you liked this quick chap. I need to work on my other stories and start on my new chapter for Between 2.
