Chapter 7

Ava's Pov:

I began to chuckle nervously while I scratched the back of my head. "It's a long story..."

Thor simply tipped his head in response as he grabbed Loki. Instantly Loki slung his left arm over Thor's broad bronze shoulders, as if it was second nature or instincts.

"We are leaving. Until next time Ava" He turned with Loki, walking awkwardly beside him. I watched, feeling knots of guilt grip my stomach tighter.

Loki glanced back at me sending me a Cheshire smile in my direction as he said "See ya later Kitten."

After that the school day went on fairly normal.

I trudge my way into the abyss of my pre-cal class, scanning the room to find my normal seat taken by some un-named classmate. I sighed and mumbled "What the hell, that was my seat…"

The bell signaled its final ring, officially starting class.

To my surprise a substitute teacher waltzed his way into my classroom, with his blue, black, and white jacket just barely hanging off his shoulders. His black button up shirt was showing a large amount of his abdomen region, and he wore a single optical upon his right eye.

His creamy white locks hang barely in his blue eyes, which really seemed to expose his skin color. It wasn't dark but it wasn't super light, he was somewhere between a camel melt and a chocolate milk shake.

He stood in the middle of the room, gaining the attention of, well, everyone. In the background I could hear the subtle swoons of teenage girls, scattered amongst the room.

I on the other hand did what any normal, 'just returned from the principal's office', girl would do, I rolled my eyes.'Oh, goodness.'

I felt a pair of eyes steady upon me, practically drilling holes through my being. Returning my gaze back to the front of the class, I quickly found that the source of this awkward feeling was due to no one other than the sub teacher.

I glanced back and forth, looking at my fellow classmates, trying to figure out why he was staring at me in particular.

"Is there a reason why you have yet to take a seat yet Ms.…?" I blinked and pointed to my face.

"Are you talking to me?"

"What other homosapien would I be speaking to?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Take a seat Ms...?"

"Oh, Tye... that's my name, I got it from my mother and umm...You know what, I'm going to take a seat right now." I sputtered nervously. I then stumbled forward and found that the only seat that was available was the center seat...right up front.

"Damn." I whispered harshly.

A stern voice then filled the room. "Ms. Tye, do not waste my time. Sit down now, or you will be joining me after class."

Attaching myself to the seat I watched as he swiftly reached for a red expo marker and snap the cap off with his thumb. Quickly but precisely he wrote out multiple types of logarithms, and then being like an artist, he signed his work in the most beautiful script hand-writing I had ever seen.

Facing the class, he slammed both arms down harshly down on the desk, causing the items to shake.

"Students you shall call me Thoth-Sensei, and you will not only take notes in my class, but I expect every one of you to go home and master the lesson I have taught during the day. I will inform you from this day forward, every class will be ended with an assessment of sorts and I expect no failures on these tests. Do I make myself clear?"

Turning my head slightly to the side, I pursed my lips forward and processed the information I was just given.

'Why do I have a weird feeling about this teacher?'

I raised my hand meekly which earned me an annoyed look from Thoth-Sensei.

"What troubles you?" He stated with a slight annoyance tainting his voice. Retracting my hand I started twiddling my thumbs and tried my best to avoid eye contact with the intimidating substitute teacher. He was really scary.

'Ok, Ava. Just say what's on your mind. Take it nice and slow.'

Quickly I mumble "wellIdon'tknowaboutuyoubutdon' -"

He narrowed his eyes at me which caused my vocal cords to cease vibration, and an overwhelming silence engulfed the room.

"Speak up, Ms. Tye" He spat sternly.

My voice shrilled up preventing me from speaking, leaving me with this annoying little mouse squeak. "Don't you think you're getting carried away...After all you're only teaching our class…for...a...day...?"

All eyes fell upon me and honestly I just wanted to crawl in a corner and cry. A shadow clouded my vision and looked up to the menacing adult that loomed over me.

"Ms. Tye are you questioning my authority?" My mouth grew as dry as the south Sahara dessert. As, I tried to form proper sounding words, something that wouldn't sound like a sick frog or a dying cow, yet I ended up coming across a bit croaking. "Ah-I, yes. I was just s-ss-suggesting that maybe, possibly, I don't know... You are taking your job a little too seriously...After all your only here for a day...An hour to be precise."

His eyebrows hitched upward. "I see. You think I am only here for the day? That's quite comical. Allow me to inform that inferior brain of yours that I am indeed your new, permanent, pre-calculus teacher."

I tilted my head in confusion.

"What happened to ?"

"He is gone, no more questions. As you pointed out earlier we only have an hour to complete a full lesson today and your childish questions are only wasting valuable class time." Then we both dropped it, and Mr. Thoth retrieved the expo marker and proceeded to present the lesson...which was just a bunch of numbers and letters to me.

Twenty minutes had passed and he grabbed a stack of papers from his desk drawer before stating. "Now students you will only have five minutes to complete this five question test, use your time wisely. Remember you cannot use notes or calculators on this test." Groans of multiple students filled the room as everyone reached for some type of writing utensil and stared bug-eyed at the assessment in front of them.

"Any questions? No? You may began." The click of a mini clocked that started our insane test, sat pleasantly on his desk. Time passed and all I could hear was the sounds of lead meeting paper with the occasional sneeze.

I stared dumbfounded at my test, tapping my nose with the pencil.

'Come on, if there is a God out there please bless me with some type of miracle so I can somehow pass this quiz.'

One minute

Two minutes

Three minutes

Four minutes

"You have one minute left." I grumbled harshly at myself.

I looked down at my paper and decided I could no longer wait for a miracle. So I did what any student who could not decipher the codes of math would do, I simply answered:

1.) -insert correct answer here-

2.) -I would like to phone a friend-

3.) -Am I ever going to see this problem again?-

4.)-Seriously...I would like to make a phone call. My friend google is a genius!-

5.) 18

"Time is up students. Pass your papers to the front."

I rounding up my row's papers and stacked them all neatly on top of mine before turning them in.

The last ten minutes of class we had to ourselves to talk and what not, which was great! If, you had some friends in the class...But luckily I happen to pack my laptop today which has all my juicy stories of Thor and I stored in its database. Just as the screen turns on, a voice caught my attention.

"Ms. Tye." I moved my gaze forward to see blue eyes piercing through my existence, yet again today. I could sense his inner demons desire to crawl out of his body and launch their attack on me.

"Y-yes?"

"See me after class."

I exhaled loudly and whimpered "Ok..."

Screaming aloud like a toddler throwing a fit, the bell rang which triggered my class to race out the door, leaving me behind.

Thoth-sempai arose from his desk and walked towards me. I raised my hands in defense, waving them frantically in my face.

"Listen, I'm sorry! I just didn't quite grasp the lesson-"

"Enough!" He slammed his right arm down on my desk and met me at eye level. He leaned forward to the point where his breath was panning my face.

Quietly he whispered. "Do you know what the consequences are for silly little humans who choose to play with the gods?"

Thor's POV

We returned back to Yui's home and upon our entering we found a very worried Apollon sitting alone on the living room couch.

His eyes met mine, quickly he leapt up to his feet and dashed over to us. He seemed very off, very fidgety. He looked all around us and paused.

"What's wrong with you?" Spat Loki while rubbing his sore eye.

Avoiding Loki and I's gaze, his eyes turned to the ground and he whispered "Zeus found out about Ava…"

A/N: *GASP* Oh no! What's going to happen to Ava?!

…

Anyways, I just really wanted to thank all my readers out there for the support and feedback. It means so much to me and I really just wanted to thank you guys for being awesome!
