Warning: This story takes place in our time period and in ancient Greece... It's a bit confusing but you'll soon see what I mean. I've made it pretty obvious who the characters are but if you get stuck on one that you can't figure out don't be afraid to ask. There is also no subtext. This is my first Xena fic so please let me know what you think.
CHAPTER 6
The group was in their last hour silently hoping the bell would ring and they could be freed from their educational prison.
Lena was getting really disgusted with the way Serena was basically throwing herself at Hunter, and to top that off Aaron would not stop gaping at her! She really hated to admit it but sometimes school really sucked!
Elle quickly noticed her best friends discomfort and put a calming hand on her shoulder.
Lena looked at Elle and smiled. 'Where would I be without you?', she thought to herself.
"Elle thanks for always being my best friend", Lena said as the bell rang.
Elle got up and hugged Lena. "No problem, that's what I'm here for!... Thanks for always being my best friend too", the young girl finished smiling and getting her things together.
"Awww! Well isn't that a loving picture!", Calista said sarcastically behind them.
"Oh Calista shove it up your-", Lena started, but was quickly cut off by the calling of her name.
"Lena, Elle, are you ready to go?", Evie asked looking darkly at Calista.
Lena laughed bitterly at Calista. "Yeah we're ready", she replied giving Calista an evil glare as she motioned her friends out the door.
The three girls walked out to Lena's jeep hoping for no more interruptions.
"What is that blond psychopaths problem!", Evie asked thinking about what went on with Calista.
"She's an evil, ugly, no good, daughter of a -", Elle sputtered.
"Gabriella!", Lena cut in laughingly before her friend could finish her sentence.
"She loves getting on my nerves", Lena started, filling Evie in on why Calista was the way she was.
"She knows which buttons to push and when to push them... and all because I accidentally ran over her stupid DOG! I guess her dog soon died after that. Sure I felt bad and I apologized, but then she went all crazy on me and it's never been the same", Lena rolled her eyes at the image of Calista.
"I know I shouldn't be so careless around her... but all that's gonna' change soon", Lenafinished, pulling into her Mother's diner and a local hot spot among the teens.
"Hey Mom", Lena said kissing her mother Irene on the cheek.
"Hello little one, how was school?", she asked taking up an order.
"All right I guess, same as any other day", Lena answered while waving to her friend Leah-Mae, a foreign exchange student from China.
"Oh hello Gabriella. Hello Everence my dear! My you girls get prettier every time I see you!", Irene complimented.
"Thanks Mrs. Prince", Evie said blushing slightly.
"Oh Eve you don't have to call me that... It makes me sound OLD", Irene stated as if the word "Old" had stung her like a bee.
"I know, I'm sorry Irene", Evie said sitting down next to Elle.
"Lena why don't you go get me more menu's from the back", Irene said to her daughter.
"Okay Mom", Lena said getting up, but not before she saw who walked inside the diner. It was Hunter with his arm around Serena's shoulder.
Lena looked over to Elle and smiled sadly. She then retreated to the back.
Hunter went over to where Irene and the girls were.
Lena got the menu's and watched as Hunter hugged her mother tightly.
"Hey Mom... I mean Irene", he corrected embarrassedly forgetting that he wasn't with Lena anymore.
Irene laughed lightly at the young handsome man. "It's okay Hunter you can still call me Mom."
Hunter smiled and watched as Lena handed the menu's to Irene and sat down next to Elle. She smiled at him politely and his heart melted. He looked over to Serena who was staring Lena down viciously and sighed. 'This was going to be hard', he thought to himself.
