Pit's POV
Finally, where I belong.
The day was long and not that fun. I'd have to say, I think I was expecting more. Like, I don't know, a nice feel to it. Now I can finally tell why mortals hate this so much.
"Good afternoon, Pit!" I heard. I turned my head to see Lady Palutena with her killer grin still smack-dab on her face. "How was your day?"
"Bad," I answered, "very, very bad." It was no lie. I have a bully on my wings and a too-deeply-in-love-woman-lady as well. Of course this was terrible.
"Oh, is that so…"
"Yes, it is so."
"I assume that there is a girl on your tail. What's her name, the one I helped you with? Ah, yes, Fiona."
"First of all, Lady Palutena, I have no tail. Second of all, I don't get anything anymore. Okay, like, I get you're all seeing and stuff, but you could help for real once in a while."
"But Pit, I do help you for real."
I gave her a signature snort (learned from Viridi). Aaaaaaaaand the unexpected happens.
I felt long arms embrace me. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Lady Palutena is hugging me. Freaking hugging me. And she's a goddess.
It was like I've been hugged by her before. I don't recall it, but hey. Who cares!
In case you didn't know, many people have come to the weird conclusion that I was into Lady Palutena. I'd like to say I don't really feel the way they expect me to. But honestly, I'm not too sure.
She pulled away, that grin still on her face. I just blushed and headed away. I shivered. She may be heavenly, but that was awfully weird. And that grin.
That grin.
It gives me a feeling she knows what's going on when I'm on Earth. Even more than I do myself. But then again, she is all seeing.
3rd Person POV
"Phosphora?" Palutena called. She turned her head to see her, leaning against the wall.
"I checked on him." She replied.
"Good."
"You didn't tell him about it, did you? I've been working on this for years."
"Don't worry Phosphora. All I did was give him a little hint." Palutena grinned.
"Don't give him any more. We don't want him to find out too soon."
"If your plan doesn't work until their winter break, I'll call it off and explain it all."
"No! You can't, I told you this was a life-long strategy!" Phosphora exclaimed.
"I'll call it off, reveal the true identity."
"You can't give up already—"
"Uh-uh, I won't take more excuses. I helped you set it up. Now figure out the rest on your own."
"Fine. If it's winter, it's winter. But remember how large of a role you play. Blowing the cover is going to mess it up."
"Oh, I know. Don't worry. I'm not doing my best."
"What does that even—"
But before Phosphora finished her statement, Palutena left with a final grin.
Viridi's POV
People in our school are getting ready for what they like to call 'Halloween'. It has been a month since we started to attend this school like regular humans, and, well, we have to fit in. When we entered the building on October 31st, I'd say everyone was normal, until you noticed the small group of dressed up people. I passed them casually, until one tapped my shoulder.
"What are you?" She asked me. I rolled my eyes. Then I realized I was wearing my regular clothes. As in, my goddess clothes.
"U-Um, I'm—"
She stared at me with wide eyes, and them I gave her an honest answer.
"I'm a goddess, the goddess of nature." I told her. She smiled. Her name was Julia, the only person who liked me. And the only person I liked.
"Woah. Awesome. Guess what I am!"
"Um…I think…" I scanned her black outfit. It was a baggy one, though, so compared to the other girls, she looked very unlike what she was. "A cat?"
"Yup! Like a cat! I'm good, I'm hot, I'm fresh, I'm fly!"
I smiled as she broke out into a dance break. I dragged her away from the door so no one could watch her embarrass herself. She was laughing. Ugh, why is laughing contagious? In only a couple minutes, both Julia and I were falling onto the girl's bathroom counters, trying not to roll on the floor. I didn't even know why I was laughing, but I immediately stopped when Fiona came in. She's creepy. I've had a disliking for her since I saw her attempt to make out with Pit. What kind of idiot does that?
"Oh, hey, Victoria." Fiona greeted. She smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Hey, Fiona." I replied.
She flipped her hair and re-did her make up. Unusually familiar make-up. But I'm a goddess, I've seen a lot of people. I'm probably remembering for no reason.
I headed out of the bathroom when Fiona grabbed the neck of my goddess-outfit and snarled. "Stay away from Pit," she hissed, "he's mine."
I was creeped out at first, and thought it was normal.
Until I realized she called him Pit.
"Fiona. You know Pit's name."
"Oh…whoops." There was flash of blue and Fiona stood there, except her hair was singed.
"You know I'm Viridi."
"U-Uh…"
"Show yourself to me!" I shouted. I was glad Julia left earlier, or she might have seen me in the action of godly matters.
She snorted. "Fine." That 'fine' she just said was crazy familiar. And as she transformed, it hit me.
"F-Fiona…you're—"
Pit's POV
"Look, kid," Bob snarled, "I'm hungry. So hand me the money."
"Sorry, Bob," I replied the calmest I could, "but no."
"Here's the deal," he explained. Well, at least he gave me a deal before killing me. But this was a lot harder of a deal than I thought it would be. "Swear on the cheeseburgers of heaven."
I scowled. The stupidity…it hurts! "I swear on the cheeseburgers of heaven."
"You have until Winter break to steal a kiss from someone. Anyone but Fiona."
"H-Huh?"
"You heard me."
"I-but-I can't!"
"That, or you owe me lunch for the rest of the school year."
I shuddered. The thought of no food…
It's almost as bad as no sleep.
Almost.
But I'm still not risking it.
"Can I decline?" I desperately asked. Bob firmly shook his head.
"But why that?" I sounded like a beggar by then. "Please, something else!"
"I chose it because I know you can't do it."
I gulped. He was awfully right. I'm not the kind of guy who'd be like, 'Alright ladies, lemme kiss you all because Sir-Bob says so!' and they all agree.
I shuddered at the thought.
I only have until winter break.
As in, 3 weeks. It seems like a lot, but when you're an angel, it's a lot less.
For the next few days, Viridi and Fiona were avoiding me. And each other. Oh, and I found this group of girls who were called, "The Big Shippers" or something. Apparently, to them, Dylan X Peter is the new thing. Me and Dark?
No. We're technically brothers, anyway. No. WE'RE THE FREAKIN' SAME PERSON.
Ah. Now that clears it up.
Actually, it doesn't because Viridi walked up to me with Fiona, a face so angry you wouldn't believe it.
"Pit," she muttered, "it was a scandal. A stupid scandal."
"What's a scandal?"
Viridi face-palmed and headed away. Wonder what she's hiding.
My life is pretty bad. Being stupid is the least of my problems. And there's that one kid who comes late to class and makes the teacher say "Mr. Parker (is that his name?), you are late!" My life is weird... And it can't possibly get worse, right?
Apparently, it can.
Because it was Friday. Tomorrow is Saturday.
And there's a freakin' Halloween party.
Yup. I'm a good two weeks late for Halloween. Sorry I wasn't able to update…my computer went bonkers. I'm sorry if the chapter was bad… it really wasn't my best work. But on the bright side, you all will find out who Fiona is next chapter, which is the halfway point of the story (I know, right? 10 chapters only? Waaaaaahhhh.) But I'll make the rest of the chapters a whole lot longer and juicier. Hope you don't give up on me…
