ANDREW JACKSON'S P.O.V
This is only a quest. This is only a quest, not a real date! It was hard to listen to my rational side when such a gorgeous girl walked beside me. Naturally, my emotional side took over me. Which was horrible. I hate feelings.
All the time I kept being awkward and she kept sighing like I was an unnecessary part she had to carry with her. Why couldn't I be more like mom! She was so confident.
"Andrew we just have to get through this, then it will be alright." Dahlia said in a hushed tone.
Easy for you to say, I thought. But I didn't say it. I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I had to.
"Okay. How about a dance, milady?" I replied with a smirk. She looked at me with an are you crazy look.
"I knew it. You couldn't dance." I said with a smile. I just know how to rouse her.
"Oh please. I could dance circles around your butt." She replied.
"Yeah right."
"Oh it is so on."
"You bet." A few moments later they announced the broken tango. The challenge was set in motion. We walked up to the dance floor and took a position with the rest of the French. The song began and my body swayed with the music. There were a few parts where i had to lift her, and i hope i wasn't too red. I had to admit it that she was a good dancer. But I was better.
"That was extraordinary!" Dahlia exclaimed.
"I know." I said, both of us walking off the dance floor.
"I was talking about myself. You were worse than a blind rag doll"
"Oh please. Did you see yourself? You were literally flouncing."
"Don't you-"She started pointing a finger at me but was stopped midway by me of course. I saw Aphrodite standing behind her and if she heard that we were fighting she would certainly not hold up her end of the deal.
To cover up I said the most stupid line. "We should talk somewhere else. Somewhere more private?" I looked at the goddess and she nodded in approval. Dahlia looked confused but I dragged her along anyway. "What's the matter?" she asked once we were in a corner away from the crowd. Only a few girls of our age were hanging around a few steps away.
"I- I have to tell you something. " I said.
"Yeah and?"
"Today after you went for your make- over thing, Aphrodite spoke to me and added another piece to our quest. And she told me that I had to confess my love for a certain girl to that girl." I said but before I could say anything else, a kind of magic took over me. I was conscious of everything I was doing but couldn't stop it.
"I have to tell you this because you're my best friend in the world but nothing more than that. I've always had a crush on Claire." I said, no idea where this was coming from. Yeah I have a serious crush on Dahlia for almost five months now. But I'm too scared to share it with her. Only Dean knows of it. But she looked genuinely hurt.
"Okay. Okay." She muttered. Just then Aphrodite loomed over us and screeched,"Well done my boy! You will be handed your reward. But first go to your rooms, change into some travel clothes, and come with me to Olympus." I was dumbfounded. The magic washed out and I felt like a complete feel, very guilty.
"I'm going back to my room. You should tell it to her. We'll meet in the lobby in half an hour. And Andrew, good choice." She said, her voice all cranky as well as cold. I felt very angry at Aphrodite. Why would she do that? But I couldn't think about those things right now because I was busy running after Dahlia. But she ran away to her room and I never got the chance to tell her. I think she was going to cry, but she would never show the tears. Never.
I kinda feel like Aphrodite now. Twists and turns in a love story, oh how wonderful! Hehe. Well I hope you liked it because there's more of this. So stay tuned, and plesae review!
