"Hermes!" I call out walking into my hosts' house.
"Hermes! I know you can hear me!" I say throwing my book bag to the ground.
The weight in the bag had no doubt made this mortal body a Hunchback. Whoever designed these things should be smited by Zeus' bolt.
"Hermes!" I scream as loud as I could.
"Ok! Ok! I'm here!" I heard someone whisper behind me, I looked behind me and saw Hermes looking nervously up at the sky.
"Y'know names have power Di! Ya can't just be calling me all willy nilly like that!" he pleaded.
I cross my arms.
"Well if you answered me the first time." I say.
Hermes sighed.
"What can I do for you Di." He says giving up.
"I need you to bring someone to me."
"And who would that be?"
"I'll let you know when it's time, but for now, I need you to take me shopping."
"What is this for again?" Hermes said as we walked through the mortal mall.
I rolled my eyes.
"I told you Her-"
"Hey! It's Harry!" he said.
Hermes has disguised himself as a mortal teenage boy that had blonde hair and mischievous baby blue eyes.
"Whatever! As I was saying,we are here to get proper attire for Ryan's party on Saturday." I said walking into Victoria's Secret.
I actually knew Victoria,gave her inspiration in fact, and she actually kept nothing a secret, especially her body.
Not that I was one to judge.
"I hardly think you will find the right attire here." Hermes did eyes widen.
"A mortal boy,although annoying,made a fair point. My mortal host lacks sexual experiences and in order to make Ryan fall in love with me,we are going to have to change that."
"Well I'd love to help you out Di,anything for the cau-"
"Not with you, you idiot!" I say rolling my eyes.
"Then with who?"
"Well no mortal is worthy of me and my god choices are limited at the moment so, I will have to take a..how do you say it.. a sex ed class." I say.
"A sex ed class." Hermes says with disbelief.
"Yes,and seducing."
Hermes starts to laugh hysterically gaining unwanted stares.
"Who knew the goddess of love,seduction,and sex needed to take a class for it!" he says wiping tears from his eyes.
My face turned red.
Hermes saw this and got himself together.
"Ok, Ok." he said wiping the rest of his tears off. Who knew he could find so much humor in my pain.
"And where would you get the-" he stops himself from laughing again.
"Sex ed class." he says trying to keep a straight face.
"Well from one of my kin of course."
"Which one? And is this the person you need me to bring to you."
"Yes,and I want you to bring.."
Hermes dropped me off outside my hosts' house. We had completed our shopping for the day and I was exhausted.
Mortal bodies had no stamina.
As soon as i walked in the house I dropped my bag to the floors and went to the refrigerator for something to drink.
On the fridge I saw a note.
Your father and I are going to a dinner party,we'll be home late. Left money for pizza on the counter.
These mortal parents had been really convenient for me. They were never here so I had complete freedom.
I headed upstairs and groaned at the pain in my feet.
I reached my hosts' room and opened the door ready to become one with the bed but,was briefly interrupted.
On the count of a knife being held to my throat.
"Who are you and why I am here." a voice said that was all to familiar.
"My darling! You've come!" I squealed in delight despite there a knife still at my throat.
"Wait." she said releasing the knife from my throat and turning me around.
"Mom?"she said looking at me with surprise.
"Yes Piper,it's me,my darling child.o time for pleasantries my dear, because I need your help."
" Wait, back up. You need me to teach you what?" Piper said with her mouth full of pizza.
While explaining the long story on how I got into this mess,we decided to order pizza.
"Don't talk with your mouth full dear! That's not proper etiquette! And yes,I need you teach me about sex."
Piper looks at me with uneasiness.
"Right." she says gulping.
" And what makes you think I'm..er equipped to teach you about this...Why not one of your other more..experienced kids,like Drew or, or Eros!
"No,no they won't do,and I need a mortal point of view,your outlook would be better because you know the troublesome horrendous life as a mortal."I say.
"Wow,thanks." I hear Piper mumble.
"And I'm sure you've had experience! With Jason, haven't you?"
Piper cheeks turned red.
"Well yeah,but that's different.." she said shyly.
"Enough Piper!" I say standing.
"I've grown tired of your excuses and as you mother I command you teach me of the mortal experiences of sex!" I command.
Piper sighs.
"Ok.. Well I guess we'll start off with this, when two people are really attracted and aroused by each other..
"Ok! I think we've covered everything!" Piper says.
I yawn.
"Yes I think we have,thank you my darling, Id have to say this is why you're my favorite and least annoying out of all of my kin." I say stretching.
"Uhh thanks I guess,but um there's one more thing." Piper says.
"Yes,what is it?"
"Ok,usually,or how it should be,sex isn't just something to do,sure it's fun and everything but it should have emotional value, y'know?"
"Yes I'm quite familiar with the concept." I say.
"Ok, so don't just have sex with this guy just to get out of your punishment. Because it might not turnout the way you want to in the long run." She says standing up.
"Now is there anyway Hermes could transport me back to Camp Half Blood? I got a cabin to run and if I'm gone any longer, Drew will become a dictator."
Piper had just left and I collapsed onto the bed. I had almost fell into a deep sleep when I felt my phone buzz.
"Ugh,mortal technology." I grumble.
The phone buzzes again and I reluctantly pick it up.
Hey,It's Ryan.
U up ?
My eyebrows furrowed in confusion,how did he even get my number?
Yeah, I'm up,how you'd get my number?
I have my ways. Wyd?
Just laying down.
Mind if I join?
Ha! You're not that smooth
Gotta shoot my shot! Maybe the answer will be different tho this wknd my party ?
Is Jessica going to be there?
Idk,and idc,and neither should you.
Who is she?
She's an ex,she's really possessive and everything even though we broke up awhile back,but don't worry abt her. She's ancient history.
If you say so…I'm tired I'm going to bed, see ya tomorrow?
Good night beautiful,see ya tomorrow.
My heart fluttered when he said that and was relieved when he said Jessica was nothing to worry about. My mind was at peace when I laid my head on the pillow and drifted into sleep.
Remember when I said my hosts' mortal parents weren't bothersome and were never around.
I couldn't be any more wrong.
"Morning sunshine! Ready for your second day of school!" My hosts' father said as he opened the curtains revealing Apollo's blinding light.
I whined at grumbled as he continued to talk.
"I hope you had a great day yesterday! Sorry me and your mom couldn't hear about but we had to go to the companies dinner party and y'know how important those are to your mom." He continued.
"But I'm sure your mother would love to hear about it at breakfast, ooh you smell that! I think it's pancakes! Better hurry up before they get cold!" He says and then finally walks out the room.
I take a deep breath and force myself to get up and carry myself to the bathroom where i was face to face with the atrocity that was on top of my hosts' head. Who knew mortals had to deal with these problems everyday!
I sigh and get started.
The heavenly smell of food that made my stomach grumble as I walked downstairs.
"There she is!" my hosts' father called out as the woman facing the stove turned around with a bright smile. She had to same blue eyes as my hosts' eyes but hers were more lively,and her hair was a dark brown, not the ugly mud brown hair that my host had.
"Morning dear! How was your sleep?" she says putting the pancakes on the table and a dish of bacon.
"Quite pleasant." I say taking a seat at the table.
"Well that's nice." she says pouring orange juice into the glasses.
We ate our breakfast in silence besides little comments and when I finished I excused myself from the table and got my book bag ready to catch the bus, learning from yesterday's mistakes.
I walked out the door hearing the mortal parents telling me to have a good day.
Just then, a familiar jeep pulled up and rolled its windows down.
"Hop in Dalton!" Ethan called out.
"Don't wanna be late to school!" he continues.
I roll my eyes and decided it would be better to get a ride from this annoying mortal then be on a bus full of them.
"I began to walk to the car and started to open the door to the front seat but had saw it had been taken by Cece. I open the door to passenger seat and sit as tension filled the car.
"Ok.." Ethan said interrupting.
"Let's roll."
"How was lunch with Prince Charming." Cece said sarcastically looking at me through the mirror. Her intense green eyes stared into my soul ,but I was able to stand my ground and answered despite my fear of her.
"Quite nice." I say back as she scoffs.
If I didn't cling to my godly pride then I might've apologized but,alas, I do.
"Alrighty." Ethan says relieved as he pulled into the school parking lot.
"We're here."
As we walk into the building Cece hastily moves away from probably knocking down at least 3 people and disappears into the crowd.
"You should really apologize." I heard Ethan say behind me.
I scoff.
"For what!" I say continuing to walk.
"You hurt her feelings! Feelings I didn't even know she had" Ethan said.
" I don't see how." I say shrugging.
Ethan shakes his head and laughs as if something was amusing.
"Girls." he says walking into the crowd leaving me by myself.
"Great." I say to myself.
After I got through my first two periods. I proceeded to go to the crowded lunchroom
Carol had seemed to be waiting for me to disapprove of her lunch which was listed as sloppy joe (sloppy alright) but I wisely said nothing. I went to go find Ryan or someone I knew into the crowded lunchroom. I spotted him but besides the usual people that say with him, there was a girl with flowing dark hair. A shiver went down my spine involuntarily and I knew something sinister was near.
I gulped and walked over there carefully and could see the boys' uneasiness as they saw me walking over there.
Ryan looks up to see me and waves nervously as I reach a holt behind the stranger girl.
"Hey Mel.." Ryan says carefully.
"Uhh, this is a Jessica." he says as the girl turns around.
i had already been surprised but now only fear and anger was what I felt when the girl turned around and I saw her silver eyes.
"Artemis!"
Chap 4! Thanks for the reviews! Will work harder on grammar and eveything.
