"If you're not popular, then don't ever show your face here!"

Standing in front of the school building, the boys were not prepared for the scene in front of them. They expected the students to be "prim and proper", just like the students of Plato. But they must remember they were in a different generation. Students were running around, playing, throwing paper towels, and some were enjoying… behind the bushes.

Apollo looked at the others and said "Are we at the right place?"

"Yes. I think so." replied Zeus. "Where are we supposed to go again?"

"It says here to go to the Vice Principals office." answered Hades.

If outside was bad, then inside was not that good at all. In fact, it was worst. The students were scattered everywhere and making a ruckus. Some girls were chatting noisily on one side. Jocks were playing football. Cheerleaders were chanting some gibberish. Someone was being bullied.

It was just another typical day in high school.

"I do not like this place. Must we do this?" asked Apollo.

"It's this or we go back to jail." said Poseidon.

For the last three days, the boys tried to learn all they needed to know before going to school. Hades made a "DOs and DON'Ts" list to make sure the others won't forget what they have learned. He also had to do all the (forged) papers that were required to be enrolled, with the help of Hephaestus. It was hard being the genius in the group.

They went to the designated place. The doors to the vice principal's office were covered with egg yolks and sticky notes. Zeus was about to knock when the door opened to reveal a balding man.

"Whoever did this is in a lot of trouble, you hear me?! And what are you all looking at?!"

Hades moved in front of them and said "We are the new students. We were advised to go here before the start of class."

"Huh! Well at least you know your time. Come in."

The office was quaint. It has a table in the middle full of papers, and the cabinets on the side were full of knickknacks. Pictures of people unknown were lined at the walls and an aroma of coffee can be smelled. It would have been better without the mess in front of them.

"Eight students in one day. Looks like that advertisement really worked. Let's get to business. I am, as you must have known, the vice principal of this school. I am Mr. Weiner, not Wiener and I expect you to respect me behind my back. A lot of hooligans around here keep on sticking a picture of a hot dog behind me, and it isn't that one."

They just stared at him like he was a mad man. He on the other hand took a pile of folders from the file cabinet. One by one, he checked their papers to see if all was complete. "Alright then, looks like everything is here. Hey you, tie your hair!" he said to Poseidon.

"What?"

"Tie your damn hair, here, use this ribbon. Tch, these beach bums." he said while handing him a blue ribbon. He also took some papers and handed it to each one of them.

"Here are your schedules and locker numbers. If you have any more questions, the teachers here will answer them. And I hope I won't be seeing you anytime soon. Are we clear?"

They nodded and went outside to a deserted hallway.

"So, what now?" asked Hermes.

"I suppose we go to these rooms. Zeus, Hades and I have the same class. What does 11th grade mean?" asked Poseidon.

"I think it is a school status. The three of us, as you have said, are in the 11th grade. Hephaestus, Dionysus and Ares are in the 10th grade while those two are in the 9th grade. It looks like our ages equates to a certain grade.

Ares scoffed. "Well that sucks! I'm with Heffie again!"

"Hey uncle, why did you have to choose those ages for us? And why am I the youngest?" asked Hermes to Hades.

"I estimated our physical appearance with the other young humans. Besides, you are undersized to be our age."

"Oh come on! Not you too!"

Zeus intervened "Look, we won't be that far apart. We have these cell phones to communicate if ever we are in trouble."

"How do you use these again?" asked Hermes who took out his iphone and was trying to push the camera on the back.

Zeus ignored him. "Apollo, you take care of Hermes. And as for you three, I'm putting Ares in charge"

"Yeah! You here that? I'm in charge!" exclaimed the boy.

Zeus was now regretting the choice. "Remember the things you've been told, and use your new names, are we clear?"

"Yes."

The three groups went to their respective classrooms.

"Class, we'll be having new students today. Please don't scare them away."

The students already knew that they were going to have some new kids with them. Rumor does spread fast in this school. Suddenly, a knock on the door can be heard which made the students stop from their conversation. Their teacher went to the door and outside.

"Scare them away? Look who's talking."

"I wonder what they look like."

"I hope one of them is a hot chick."

"Or a hunk."

Their teacher went back inside, followed by three boys. "I am Ms. Randi Lexton. But you three can call me Ms. Lex ." said the woman with a seductive smile on her face. She also winked at them, to their horror. The woman is fifty years of age who tried to look sexy at anyway she can, even if her wrinkles are already showing. The students of the school dubbed her as "The Cougar".

"Ok then, introduce yourselves. Don't worry, I won't bite." She was looking at the three like they were some juicy piece of meat.

Zeus wanted to get away from this…creature. He was about to head for the door when Hades held his arm and said "You go first."

Zeus cleared his throat and said "I am Liam Anderson."

Poseidon followed. "Damian. Damian Hunter."

"Ji-hun Song." said Hades.

The class was more intrigue when they said their names.

"I told you one of them is a foreigner."

"I don't care where they come from. They are smokin' hot!"

"Oh damn! That Ji-hun is cute!"

"Damian and Liam…I need to go to the restroom."

"Eww~."

"Everyone, be quiet! They are still new around here. Give them some time and I'm sure one of them will be glad to…join me…" said Ms. Lexton. She was now sucking her thumb for some unknown reason.

"Zeus, I don't like this woman." whispered Poseidon.

"Me neither."

"Let's see…yup. The three of you are in this class. Introduce yourselves to the class while I sign these papers."

The boys have just arrived at their room and they were already being fawned over by the girls. Their teacher, Mr. Layton, was a man in his thirties and who was the typical teacher you see in every school.

"The name is Marko Kaiser, don't forget it." said Ares.

"Wow! A German…with a scar!"

"I think I'm gonna faint. He's hotter than my boyfriend."

"Hey! I'm over here!"

"Class, be quiet!" said Mr. Layton.

Hephaestus, who was gazing at the windows, softly said "Antonio Miguel Ramirez."

"That gaze, I swear if I look into them, I am going to heaven."

"He reminds me of this guy in a magazine. Just take of all of his clothes an-"

Mr. Layton who was still busy with the papers said "Class, what did I say?"

Dionysus took a step forward and said "I'm Eladio Constantinides."

"A german, a spaniard and a greek in one class? This is gonna be good."

"They are so handsome~." *Drool*

"Alright, alright. The three of you, take those seats at the back. Now, open your books on page fourty-four."

"I just want some grapes… do they have grapes here?" asked Dionysus.

"I hate reading." said Ares and he slammed his book down.

Hephaestus, who was behind Dionysus, just grunted at Ares' statement.

"Oh you have a problem with me?!"

Mr. Layton, who was disturbed by the noise, asked "Is there something wrong Mr. Kaiser?"

"Nothing."

"Then sit down or else, you'll be going to the vice principal's office on your first day."

Ares sat down and gritted his teeth while glaring at his brother.

"And if we go back to the war of-"

A knock was heard from the door, cutting off the old man from his lecture of death. "Come in."

Two boys came in and went to the old man. The class, on the other hand, was thankful for the disturbance.

"How may I help you boys?"

"Good morning sir. Are you perhaps Mr. Mccall?" asked Apollo.

"Yes."

"We're the new students. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Let me see those papers." said Mr. Mccall. In some schools, there was that history teacher who bore his students with his long and dreadful lectures, and he was one of them. It was really a miracle that no student from his class has gone crazy and jumped throughout the window. "Hmm. Alright, say your names and sit down wherever you like."

Apollo faced the class, showed his killer smile and said "Greetings my dear gentlemen and fair ladies, I am known as Zach Toulson."

Hermes had put his hands at the back of his head and said "And I'm the one and only Daisuke Nakamura."

And yes, the girls, as always, went wild.

"Ohh~ Daisuke is so cute!"

"He's like an anime character!"

"What about Zach? *Sigh* He's my prince charming~."

"Uh-uh girl! He is mine!"

Hermes whispered to Apollo "We really know how to make these girls swoon, huh Apollo?

He chuckled. "It runs in the family."

The bell rings, signaling the start of lunch hour. The hallway was fast to fill up with students who were racing one another to the canteen, hoping to be the first in line. The three brothers can be seen at their lockers, waiting for the others. Zeus looked at the crowd and asked Hades "Where are they?"

"They should be here by now. I've texted them when we left the room."

"You made me remember that woman. I don't want to see her ever again." said Poseidon who unluckily, did not get his wish.

The devil walked by and said "Enjoy your lunch boyz." Then she winked at Poseidon who wanted to barf.

Zeus patted his brother on his back. "It's ok, at least you didn't have to be stared at every passing minute in class."

Finally, the five boys arrived and they all joined the students headed for the canteen. The tables there were occupied by different groups. There were the jocks, the cheerleaders, the popular boys and girls, the nerds, the computer geeks, students of different clubs and the "others". Luckily, the boys managed to find a vacant table at the corner of the room and as they passed by, the students talked about them.

"Look there they are!"

"It is true! They are gorgeous!"

"I swear, they'll be the next "Most Popular Boys in School"."

"I wonder if they have any girlfriend…"

The gods took their seats, oblivious of the looks given to them.

Zeus, who was playing with his food, said "So, how did it go with you boys?"

"I hate math." replied Ares who gobbled up his hamburger and fries.

"You hate everything, Ares." said Hermes.

"I will murder whoever made math."

"They're already dead, a thousand years ago."

Zeus sighed. "How about you Dionysus? What happened in class?"

"S'okay. Girls kept on flirting with us. Ares and Hephaestus kept on annoying each other. Hmm~ this grape soda is good. I'm gonna get some more."

Poseidon noticed his nephew was into his book. "Apollo, what are you reading?"

"It's our history book. The contents are so interesting that I can't stop reading it. I also enjoyed Mr. Mccall's class. I can't wait for our next class with him."

"You've got to be kidding. I almost died because of his lecture. Half of the class slept the whole period." exclaimed Hermes.

"Duh! Apollo is considered boring. Heck, he's even more boring than Geras. So when it comes to boring discussions, expect him to be all giddy about it." said Ares.

"I am not boring!"

"Anyway, how about you guys? Did anything happen with yours?" asked Hermes.

Poseidon and Zeus looked at each other. Hades on the other hand, was busy reading his physics book.

"It was…great." replied Zeus, who started playing with his food again.

Poseidon looked like he was about to puke. "Swell."

Dionysus came back with a lot of soda cans. "Guess what? When I bought ten cans, they gave me two more for free!"

"What are you going to do with all of those?" asked Ares.

"Drink it. I'm also gonna put some in our room. Hey, Hephaestus, can I put some of it in your bag?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks bro."

Ares stood up and slammed the table. "I am still hungry! I'm gonna get some more."

"Heads up!"

Suddenly, a football was headed straight for their table and at the right moment, Ares caught it.

"We're being attacked!" shouted Hermes.

Except for Hades, who ignored the boy, and Ares, the boys went quickly under the table. The students who saw the commotion all laughed at their stupid act.

"Nice catch man! Throw it here!"

Ares glared at the jock. He put all his weight into his right side and threw the ball. It was so fast that the jock was not prepared for it and because of too much force, he flew back and landed on a nearby table. The students were all amazed at such strength that they all clapped.

"Tch! No one ever attacks Marko Kaiser and gets away with it!"

"Is it safe now?" asked Zeus from under the table.

"Hah! I beat the shit out of him!"

"We weren't under attack in the first place." said Hades.

With hesitation, they all went out from their hiding place. The captain of the football team went to the boys table with two of his guys.

"Hey, I saw your throw back there, you almost killed our receiver."

"So? Ya got a problem?" asked Ares.

"Chill dude. We didn't come here to fight. I am Kevin, the captain of the football team. Anyway, I'll make this quick. You have potential. We want you to join us."

"Join what?"

The two guys snickered but were cut off by a glare from their captain. "The Miami Phoenix football team. There's actually a try-out next week, but we'll make you an exception."

"No."

"No?"

"You heard me, no. I have no time to be with sissy girls like you."

"What did you sa-" Kevin elbowed his friend.

"Alright, if that's your decision. Still, if you change your mind, our invitation is always open."

The three went back to their tables, while Ares sat down.

"Isn't he the guy who said "If you're not popular, then don't ever show your face here!"." asked Hermes.

"Yeah and I don't like him. What is this football he was saying?" asked Apollo.

"It must be some sissy sport for girls." said Ares.

Hades had put his book inside his bag and said "Actually, it is a male sport. I do not know the details but I know that a lot of the humans here are into it."

"I'm still not going to join."

At that moment, the bell rang, signaling the start of afternoon classes. They all went out and before splitting up, Zeus said to them "We'll meet each other later, understood?"

They nodded and went their way.
