Hello guys! I am back with more! :D Thank you for all the lovely reviews! :) Sorry that I'm slow on updating my stories, but you know, high school gets in the way, Mid-Term exams, etc. All of you high schoolers know the drill. But anyways, on with Apollo's Adventure! :)
I stood there like an idiot gawking at her. I am not normally like this, normally I know how to act suave and how to charm girls and women into a hysterical pool of tears. But not this time, in fact it was I that caught off guard. At first I thought that this beautiful young maiden was one of the Nymphs or Thalia trying to pull a trick on me. But this girl just stared at me while clutching the manuscript paper to her chest.
Thinking of something to break the ice I decided to say something brilliant, "Uh... What... Uh..." She gave me a look like I was mentally challenged. But as soon as I recognized that look it was gone in an instant. I just stood there, immortally embarrassed, being a God is never easy, but when you act like a fop just like I did, it's even more complicated.
She just stood there looking at me, but I tried to keep it cool. Even though I felt like I would have to call on the wind God Boreas just to keep cool. Shifting slightly her deep chocolate brown eyes still locked on mine I pondered if I should alter the pattern of time and erase this from ever happening, because this was just plain awkward! Biting her lip she continued to stand there. "Er... Hi." I said, hoping not to sound as stupid as I thought I did.
Nervously combing back her long red hair behind her ears she looked up at me shyly. "Um, hi..." She murmured as she shifted her weight from foot to foot. I knew that I was probably letting my guard down but I couldn't help it. She was just so irresistibly innocent. "What's your name?" I asked, before biting my lip, I came off as a total player in these new found American "Terms". Her eyes widened slightly before nervously looking around before her eyes found me again. " My name... It's Estrela..." She mumbled looking down.
For such an excellent pianist and singer, she definitely needed work on her stage presence. I brightened at the idea of actually being able to teach someone other than myself!
I actually felt that I was worth something, while starting to love this idea I couldn't help but smile, which was such a wrong move to do. This girl was definitely someone to not randomly smile at unless you knew her. Her face started to turn incredibly red, she looked down at her black leather boots.
"I-I'm sorry... I should get going, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." She hurriedly said while gesturing to the room. I couldn't help but be slightly amused by her extreme shyness, I mean, I was shy but you learn to get over it after about two millennia! "No, excuse me, I'm the one who has interrupted you. I'm new here, my name is Apollo." I said, going for nice and casual. I wanted to win this girl's trust and break her of this blasted shyness!
Estrela looked at me, "That's cool, I'm new here too. A Freshman here is a little better than being in high school at least." She said before giving me a small smile. Man, she had a really nice smile, I would definitely follow this girl anywhere. "What's your next class?" I asked, 'Play it cool boy, play it cool.' The thought is on repeat in my head, which is exactly making me lose my cool. She shrugged, "I don't know, I think I have theater next." She said, her soft voice above barely a whisper, I literally had to use my super hearing just to make out what she was saying.
I grinned, "I have that next too! Now, since the bell is about to ring about, oh one minute, would you like to walk together?" I offered before mentally slapping myself. I sounded like some dork loser who was trying to ask out his first crush to Prom. Well... I actually am...
