My Note: I'm sorry it's taken awhile to get this chapter up. I was in the hospital for a virus but I'm ok now as you can tell. Then we had some computer problems, mainly from lighting, just gotta love Mother Nature, let me tell you. Now hopefully I can keep this updated for you guys. Now on with the story, I hope you like this chapter.
Cause You Move MeSheryl walked up to Athena's door, and lightly knocked. She waited for a few minutes and when her answer came she just walked right on in. She looked around the room until her eyes rested on the open window, so she climbed out the window on to the roof where she spotted Athena laying down looking up at the sky.
"Hey, look I'm sorry about what I said earlier, I didn't meant to. I know what it's like not to have anyone on your side." Sheryl said taking a spot next to Athena.
"Well, apology accepted. I hope you can understand why I did what I did." Athena said looking over at her.
"I do now, I just didn't at the time. Guess I'm closed minded like the rest of them." Sheryl said with a sigh.
"Naw, you were just being you. And I can understand that." Athena said with a chuckle. "Now what you do say we head back in and go help Coach." Athena said as she got up to back inside.
The next day at school it was a whole other world than the one she was in yesterday, she was given her new schedule which only had her with a few of her friends. She saw the guys standing by some lockers, but as she started to walk over towards them, Ray walked over sending her a glare. So she just waved to them and walked right on by. "No sense in causing in trouble." And that was something she promised Coach last night was not to get into trouble.
"Serves her right for what she tried to do to me." Ray said as he watched her walk down the hall.
"Whatever Ray. I'm tried of hearing how you about how 'Thena almost killed you, when you know she was defending herself. I'll see you guys later it's suddenly gotten a little to crowded for me. Hey 'Thena gal wait up." Alan said as he took off down the hall.
"Hey, Alan wait up man. I'll go with you." Sunshine said trotting off down he hall with Alan.
"What's stuck up their butt's?" Ray asked looking over at Garry.
"I don't know maybe you can tell. I've got to get to class." Garry said without another word.
Ray just stood watching Garry as he walked down the hall. "She's gotten into everyone heads. Looks like I need to get my plan into action." Ray told himself as he walked out of the school to meet his business associate.
Athena walked into her first class very slowly. She was surprised to see two people she knew. At least one anyway. She smiled at Duke who was sitting in the back of the class. But with Math being her worst subject, Athena opted for middle, in a desk behind Emma. Emma gave her a cold glare as she sat down.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Princess?" Athena said looking Emma in the face.
"You can help me by staying away from Garry. Because I have news for you, his mine." Emma said putting an ephapis on the word mine.
"Oh, really now. I didn't know that he was live stock, someone better inform animal control, since there is a bull running around Alexandria. But really Princess, you didn't seem to keen on him having Big Ju as a friend, so what do you think of that?" Athena asked getting closer to Emma's face.
"I say it isn't any of your business what I think and it's all just phase anyway." Emma said in a huff.
"If what Garry is doing is just a phase then I must be the President of the I'm stupid for life club. Princess sweetie, I have news for you this isn't a phase he is going through, so you might want to get on board or just stand on the sidewalk and wave good bye." Athena said but before she could say more she was cut off when the teacher walked in.
Emma not noticing that their teacher had just arrived started to say something but she was interrupted by Coach Parker asking if there was something that the whole class should know. Before she could say anything a voice come from the back.
"Sir, I think she wants to know who has more hairspray because she is all out and if she doesn't get more then her head will fall off because it's made of air, and we wouldn't Princess to float to away." Duke said in a serious voice.
Which caused some of the other students to chuckle. Even Athena, who whispered to Emma, "I think I know a girl who has some you might want to ask her."
Emma just turned around glared at the both of them.
After Coach Parker got everyone settled down. He branched off into the wonderful world of cosigns and all that jazz.
Athena let out a yawn and glanced back at Duke who seemed to be interested in craving something on his desk, as if right on cue he looked up and sent her smile. Athena gave him smile before turning to look at the board again. She didn't notice that he looked out the window and nodded his head to someone outside.
Forty-five minutes later, Athena was walking down the hall when an arm came around her shoulder. "I liked your little spat with Princess back there doll face." Duke said falling into step beside her.
"I gathered as much." Athena said with a small laugh.
As they were walking down the hall. Alan, Sunshine and Garry came from one of the other hallways. Athena knew this probably wasn't a very good idea and judging by the way they were staring at her. It looked they didn't like the fact that Duke's arm was around her shoulder. So she wiggled out form his arm and put a little more space between them.
As the guys turned the corner, they all couldn't believe what they were seeing. Athena, the girl who told them last night to think about what they said; was now walking down the hall with Duke's arm around her shoulders. All three felt a pull in their guts at this sight, even though they all acted like she was their sister, it's safe to say that all three felt something for her. (Uh Oh, love triangle or is it?)
"Hey, 'Thena gal!" Sunshine said coming up to them. "I miss you in Cates class, just not the same without you."
"Yeah, I know but I don't have him until 6th period now. You guys going off to Chemistry?" She asked looking at them wishing that this meeting didn't feel ackward.
"Yeah where else would be going?" Garry asked with a smile.
"I know a place you could go Wonder Boy." Duke said giving Garry a cold stare.
Garry was about to say something to him, but Athena jumped right in before he could asking, "Hey, Superman. Do you think you and guys could come over tonight that way I get to see how well you guys are doing without me as manger."
"Yeah, I guess we can. I don't see why not." Garry said looking over at her but not before he returned his stare right back at Duke.
"Umm, Alan who do you have 6th Cates, right?" Athena asked giving a nervous glance between Garry and Duke.
"Yeah, I do with Blue why?" Alan asked looking over at her since his attention was drawn away from Garry and Duke.
"Well, do you think I could sit with you guys?" Athena asked.
"Girl, you don't even have to ask something like that." Sunshine jumping in to keep Garry and Duke quite.
"I know, but I wasn't sure you know." Athena said with a smile.
"Of course you can sit with us, you might even keep us from falling asleep." Alan said with a laugh.
"Well, doll face I'm heading off to the pit if you wanna find me that where I'll be." Duke said before he gave her a hug.
When he was gone Garry turned toward her and said, " I thought we already went through this."
"I know, I know. Just give me some time all right. Now I have to be going or I'm going to be late for English." Athena said as she gave each of them a hug before taking off down the hall.
"I don't think she'll ever get rid of him." Garry said watching her walk away.
"Give her some credit it's not like she can hang out with us all time, now." Alan said from behind Garry.
"Oh, come you to before we are late ourselves." Sunshine said as he took off towards their classroom.
