CHAPTER TWO-
She was just starting to look up when a boy literally jumped down from the tree, not that's not something you see every day. " The names Hermes and I think, that's my bag your snooping in" "I was trying to figure out to whom I could return the bag, that's all" she replied, a half-truth not so bad.
The boy- Hermes she reminded herself, did not need to know that she was actually going to see who the heck he was, and what he was doing here; this town was small and sure, it had some interesting stuff... If you liked history museums which was the only thing in town and to do, other than the old cinema that was slowly falling apart, mind you and the park, if you could call it that.
The boy raised his eyebrows, but said nothing, just simply took a seat next to me. Well, he started out sitting but a minute later he was laying down staring at the leaves above. "Apple?" She turned to look at him and saw that he did, in fact have an apple. Actually, he had two bright red apples. Although it didn't matter, Athena was wondering how he got it, it was not Apple season, for winter was speeding in, and once it started, it took a millennium to leave. She accepted the apple, but studied the boy in suspicion and wonder. He had golden hair and hazel eyes, a weird combination mind you, since people everywhere around had dark colored hair. From which place had he come from?
"Look, honey, I know I'm beautiful, but c'mon can you at lease try not not openly gawk at my godly structure?" She scoffed and replied "Please, I would never go for a blond, especially an arrogant one, never mind I would never go for anyone, these humans disgust me including you" joking around with him was easy, his easy going nature put her at ease, how she wished everyone else were like that, everyone in her town was a stuck up prick in her opinion.
Hermes puffed up his chest and deepened his voice "Human? I am surely not a human, for I am a god! Fear me! You foolish goddess! You dare taunt the mighty Hermes, destroyer of worlds?" She laughed so hard she feared her lungs would collapse on her.
"Okay, okay, let's get serious though, I'm going to pee myself if you keep at it" Hermes sat criss-cross and saluted me and gave me a gruff 'yes ma'am'. She rolled her eyes but continued "why are you here?" Hermes made a wounded gesture and got in a fatal position "Athena! I just got here and you already want me to leave? I am measly here to enjoy your quality movies, and enjoy your wonderful park." "Puh-leaze that is the most terrible lie I have ever heard! I would make you continue but I have to leave I have books to read and fencing practice so later 'destroyer of worlds'.Thank god we have testing schedule today because I couldn't have stranded much longer in there, Peace Hermes." And with that she left him there,
4 hours later she was laying In bed exhausted, fencing always left her like that, but she loved the adrenaline pulsing through her veins. Athena had never lost, but she knew she could be defeated, she was just had to wait for some competition to arrive. Athena though about all that happened to her that day and remembered about her pleasant lunch with Hermes that day. She thought back to her conversation with him and her stomach dropped. She had never told Hermes her names, but she clearly remembered that he said it. The stranger knew her name.
