I wake up on the day I start school. I get up and get dressed, excited to start at MIT. I smile as I pick out an outfit.

"All ready." I say, teleporting down to the school. I smile at the kids looking at me. I get dirty looks instead and roll my eyes. I continue to my classes. I sit down in my first class, after shaking the teacher's hand. The others file in while I wait patiently for the class to begin.

"Look, it's the liar."

"She probably lied to get in here."

"She probably did lie because she's a liar."

"Liars don't get to be goddesses. She probably lied about that too."

"Yeah, we shouldn't trust her, she's a liar." Those words followed me around all day. I held up until Mal showed up to ask me about my day. Ben stood next to her.

"How was your day?" Mal asked, catching me off guard. I looked over at her, and tears filled my eyes. I hugged Mal as the tears flowed. "Oh, Hadie. What happened?" Mal asked. I told her everything that happened. Ben's eyes had softened by the time I finished.

"I don't normally cry, so it was really bad." I say to Mal. Mal and Ben both nod. I sniffle. "I feel bad for burdening you guys."

"No, no, no, no. It's fine." Mal says. Ben puts a hand on her shoulder.

"It's my fault that they said those things. I was encouraging it. Mal is a great sister to you. But, it is my fault. I'm sorry for being mad at you and doing those things." Ben says.

"It's fine, Ben. I forgive you." I say with a smile. We walked to Ben's castle, and Evie was waiting there for us.

"Hadie, what happened?" Evie asked, and I realized I still had tear stained cheeks. I recount what happened to her, too. Evie hugs me when I finish. "That's horrible." I nod.

"Yeah, it's what I deal with now." I say with a shrug. They all widen their eyes.

"What? Hadie, no. We're gonna help you." Mal says.

"I'm fine, guys." I say. They all give me a look. "It's true." I say, teleporting away. I arrive in my room, alone. "I can handle it." I reassure myself.

THE NEXT DAY:

I go to school, endure the toture, and go back to Olympus. I sit at the counter doing my schoolwork, when the door almost falls off of its hinges. I turn to face the doorway, and see Ally. I growl at her.

"What?" she asks. I glare at her, and continue doing my homework. "Listen, Hadie, Harry isn't your boyfriend anymore. I can flirt with him and he can flirt with me."

"That doesn't mean I don't love him anymore." I mutter.


A/N: INTERMISSION! whatdidshejustsay? she loves him, she loves him, she loves him!


"What did you say?" Ally asks.

"I said, that doesn't mean I don't love him anymore." I say, hair igniting. Ally gives me a look. "What do you want?" I ask her as I calm down.

"I was wondering if you could ask if I could get a love spell." Ally asks slowly. I furrow my eyebrows.

"Why would I do that for you? You flirted with my bo- the guy I'm in love with!" I cry.

"Well, you'll do it because you're a supportive friend." Ally says.

"Me? Your friend? Pathetic. I'd never swoop that low and befriend someone who would stab me in the back." I say, voice dangerously calm. I glare at Ally, who glares back at me. A growl escapes my throat.

"Whatever." Ally says, walking away. I stand there, confused, for a few seconds. I look back at my homework, then furrow my eyebrows.

"What was that all about?" I ask the thin air. "You know what? I think she might've turned a tad evil." I reassure myself. I nod, and turn back to my homework. The door opens and closes again.

"Hadie, I'm sorry." Herkie's voice says. I look up at him. "I gave Ally the love potion." Herkie says.

"You're dumb." I tell him and go back to my schoolwork.

"No, Hadie, she plans to use it on Harry, your boyfriend." Herkie says. I let out a hollow laugh.

"He's not my boyfriend." I say, looking up. "He broke up with me when I told him the truth. It's not my lane to control him."

"But, Hadie-" Herkie starts.

"No, Herkie." I say, cutting him off. "Plus, it worked out for Mal and Ben." I reason. "Maybe he didn't love me in the first place." Herkie groans and places his head in his arms.

"I saw the way he looked at you. Of course he loved you! He looked at you as if you were the only girl in the world! Look at the fact that Uma's love spell didn't work. Hadie, he loved you, and probably still does!" Herkie reasoned.

"I told him we weren't getting back together." I say, my voice cracking. Herkie takes my hands in his.

"This isn't going to be good, but I promise, I will help you get your life back on track." Herkie says.

"Thanks, Herk." I say with a smile.

"Your welcome, Hadie. You're part of the family, it's all of our jobs to help each other, and you need the most help right now." I hug him.

"Why couldn't we just push aside our differences and be friends?" I ask with a laugh.

"I don't know, but, hey, we finally did." Herkie says. Mal bursts in.

"Hadie, I only have less than two weeks before my wedding." Mal states. I nod slowly.

"Okay."

"You have to pick out a dress for the performance." Mal states, then it dawns on me.

"I do! Oh my gosh, Mal I don't have anything to wear!" I exclaim. Mal nods.

"I know. Don't worry, I'll have Evie make you an outfit." Mal says. I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness I have such a good sister. Thanks, Mal." I say with a smile. Mal smiles brightly.

"Your welcome, sis. See you around."

"See you around, sis." I say. Herkie leaves the room, and I sit there by myself. I decided to go check up on Gil. I teleport down to Evie's castle. I walk through the castle, looking for Gil. I finally find him talking to Harry. "Hey, Gil." I say with a smile.

"Hiya Hadie!" Gil says, over excitedly.

"Why are you so excited?" I ask, genuinely curious.

"I was just telling Harry about mine and Jay's trip. We leave in a few days." Gil says. I nod.

"Nice. I was just coming to check on you." I say.

"I'm doing good." Gil says.

"That's good. But, since when would you not be good?" I ask.

"Never. I keep getting told that I'm just like a ray of sunshine." Gil informs me.

"Well, whoever keeps telling you isn't wrong." I say. Gil nods.

"Harry just told me that, too." Gil says.

"Cool." I say. Evie comes in.

"Oh, hey, Hadie." Evie says. I wave. "Gil, would you mind helping me pick out a color of fabric to use?" Evie asks Gil.

"Sure!" Gil says, leaving me with Harry. I glare at him, and he glares back. I growl, he growls.

"I might've heard a plot that involves you, and I encouraged it." I snarl.

"You would. I have more important things to do." Harry snarls back.

"Whatever." I spit out, and teleport back up to Olympus.


A/N: oh. my. gods. Hadie said she loves Harry and then treats him like gum on the bottom of her shoes. Girl needs some serious help. Wait- does that mean I need help too? Probably not. Have a great day, seriously.
