Chapter Thirty Four: Thalia
I went to my dorm and Lady Artemis appeared.
"Thalia, how are you? I've been meaning to ask you, who is this Dwight? What does he look like?"
"Well, I have class in five minutes, care to join me?" I reply.
She smiles. "Of course." And we walk to class. As we neared the classroom, I ask her to wait outside.
"Dwight, will you please come outside with me?" I see him wink at him friends, and I want to puke.
Artemis did the smart thing (obviously) and made herself invisible.
"So, changed your mind?" he asks. "Wanna kiss me after all?"
"Oh no! Of course not!" I say.
I hear Artemis move behind me. "Jackalope?" she asks.
"Be my guest, Milady!" I laugh. She snaps her fingers and Dwight disappears while outside, a jackalope wanders off. I go back into class and teach.
After class, I see Edmund enter the classroom.
"Can I help you?" I say rather formally. He is probably the only guy I could ever like, besides Luke. I ignore it.
"Thalia, will you come to the dance with me?"
I look up, shocked. "Didn't you hear Jason? I gave up boys for immortality, Edmund! I can't possibly! I'm sorry."
He grabbed my hands. "Thalia! You have to. We were supposed to meet! Supposed to be together. This is it! It's our destiny, Thalia!"
"No it's not." I say stiffly and walk out the door.
