Chapter 3.
Adara's P.O.V
I crept slowly as not to make a sound… It's really dangerous to make a sound now… Slowly… come on… almost there… Just a bit more…
" Boo!" I shouted.
" What is it, Mist? Trying to scare me?"
" Oh come on, Nico! Stop being an arrogant brat!"
A few days has passed since that day. I still haven't given up! Score one point for me! Tomorrow's a Saturday though… I can't disturb him on the weekends. I grimaced. I think I grew attached to him.
" Do you really think that's a sneak attack? I really need to teach you." He said with a smirk.
I scowled at him.
" Alright, then. You stay here! I'm going to hang out with my FRIENDS!" I stomped away. He looked shock. Good for him!
" Hi guys. How's it been?" I asked. They looked surprise to see me.
" What are you doing here? Aren't you hanging out with your boyfriend?" Mindy asked. Mindy is one of my best friends. She's fun, outgoing and a social butterfly. A lot of guys have a crush on her because she's talented in sports and she's really pretty. A tomboyish hair cut.
She has a short dark brown hair with black eyes that can intimidate anyone. But, instead of intimidating, she attracted a lot of guys.
" Oh! They must be having a lover's spat!!" May shouted. Everyone turned in our direction and started listening. Count May to start the biggest gossip. She's on the school newspaper team.
That and with her golden like blonde hair that reaches behind her back and a fringe that is just above her eyebrows. Her cerulean blue eyes that is almost always watery. She could get any guy to like her. She's our gossip source and gossip starter.
I blushed.
" We aren't together, May." I said.
" Oh come on, you expect us to believe that?" Mindy asked. Now that I think about it, I think Mindy likes Nico…
" Mindy, calm down." Chided Cameron. She's the mother in our group. The mature and responsible one ,whom we love to copy our notes from. She's got her fair share of people liking her. She's poised, calm and gentle too. She's also really smart!
Cameron has orange hair that is as long as May but she ties it in a bun. She has green eyes that are lighter than mine though.
" Yes, mother." Mindy and I said, jokingly. The one thing about us is we never fought for too long. Oh right, you must be wondering about my role in the group! Well, I guess I'm the childish, immature, fun one that is easy to be with but guys don't have crushes on me.
I'm also the one who has a witty remark for every bully. So, I guess I'm the… bully repellent?
" Well, we better get to class. Miss Lee is going to be teaching us something important from what I hear." May said.
" It's Greek mythology, my dear." Cameron said with a charming smile. She's always amused at our forgetfulness. But hey, no one's perfect!
My favourite subject is Greek Mythology. Don't ask me why but for some reason. I'm really good at it. Prepare to be amaze.

Nico's P.O.V
Wow, I think I really made her mad. I went after her by blending in the shadows. I was going to scare her for fun when I heard what that blonde girl said. A lover's spat?! I remembered blushing. That girl…! Wait, Greek mythology? That'll be easy for me.
In class,
" Class, today we will be talking about Hades, God of the Underworld. Can anyone tell me about Lord Hades?"
No one raised their hands except… Mist.
" Yes, Dara?" Dara grinned.
" Well, Lord Hades is, from some myths, forced to take the Underworld after the Gods won the Titans. Both Lord Poseidon and Lord Zeus took a draw and they each got the Sky and Sea respectively. The only remaining place is the Underworld in which he took. I wonder if he feels underappreciated…"
Before I could stop myself, I opened my mouth.
" Wouldn't you feel underappreciated if you had to take a place you do not like and was not appreciated for what you do? Some people have to die. Imagine the world without death."
" Oh, are we having a debate or an agreement?" Miss Lee asked, her eyes flashing. She seems familiar to me…
" I would say an agreement, Miss Lee. Both Nico and I feel that Hades is not appreciated. If people doesn't die… they will forever feel suffering. You got into an accident and the pain is.. well painful" Some of the classmates chuckled at this. " You're supposed to die but couldn't. So, you will forever feel the pain."
" You two have got to be the most wisest of your age, Dara, Nico. I trust that whatever you do, your heart will be in it. Yes, follow your heart and you shall find truth. I've never met kids that appreciate death and Lord Hades."
" Well, Miss Lee, everything has a meaning. We can't just think from one side. We mustn't just believe that everything is your way." Mist said. She's more than what I thought she is.
" Anything to add, Nico?" I shook my head. " How about you, class?"
" Yeah, me. Then, why did Hades kidnapped Persephone?" I felt a rumble in the ground. He shouldn't have angered father. I look at the boy. I think his name is Kenneth Maxwell. Short boyish cut for a hair. His hair is brownish and he has grey eyes.
I looked at Dara and noticed her blush… She likes that Maxwell guy. I felt a twinge of jealousy in me.
" Good question, Maxwell. Tell me, what will you do if you are stuck in the Underworld, all alone with no woman to love you? He kidnapped her, true. But he didn't force her to eat those pomegranates. Did he really trick her into eating it? No, I don't think so. She ate it at her own will. She might not know the consequences but she ate it. So, it's nobody's fault."
" Wow, that's deep, man." That Maxwell boy said to me. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
" I have to agree. I like this compassionate side of yours, Nico." Mist said with a look of admiration on her face.
" Very well done, Nico. Class dismiss." She said just as the bell rang. " Dara, a job well done as always. I'll see you later, alright, Dara?" Mist nodded and left with her group. Before she left, she flashed her infamous grins at me. " Nico, may I talk to you?"
I nodded. " Who are you, exactly? I feel something strange about you."
" Can you guess who I am yet?"
" I feel…. Magic… Hecate! The Goddess of Witchcraft and Magic!"
" Yes, you're right. Good job, son of Hades. I was on orders to recruit you into our group."
" I won't join. I will never abandon my friends."
" Don't be so sure. You're too honest, boy. But, I've observe you and the Miss Dara. I've came to tell you that you should not join." I felt shock.
" W-what?"
" Do not join…" She said slowly for me. I glared at her.
" I understand that!"
" Don't snap at me, boy. You were the one who said w-what. Besides, I was just having a bit of fun. Anyway, I think you better watch that Mist girl. She's more than what meets the eye."
" What do you mean?"
" You'll see, boy. Oh, send my regards to your father, will you?"
Great, my life keeps getting better and better.
