Mortals Meet The Demigods

Chris Rogers - Zoe & Phoebe Jackson

Remember Artemis' dear girlfriend, Zoe? Well... she's back! And with her twin sister! This story is pretty much my twin sister and I because I can totally imagine this happening with us. In third grade, this girl was being mean to my sister and I saw her crying once. I asked my twin what was wrong and she said that  ____ wasn't letting her see her friend and that ____ yelled at her to leave any time she went over. I marched over to her friend, grabbed her friend's arm, and dragged her back over to my sister. After I left, I marched over to ____ and threatened to punch her if she was mean to my sister again. Remember, this was all when I was 9... 

(I had just finished watching the first episode of Falcon & The Winter Soldier, so sorry about the name...) (I am now realizing that this is three weeks after I watched that episode, so I am so sorry for not posting in so long...)

Chris Rodgers:

My name is Chris Rodgers and I have very light blonde hair, light green eyes, and light skin dotted with a few freckles. I go to school at Goode High in New York with my best friend of two years.

Her name is Phoebe Bianca Jackson and she isn't only my best friend, but my huge crush. She is stunning with her model-like, curly blonde hair, swirling sea-green eyes, and fashionable outfits. She is definitely the most beautiful girl in our school.

"Hey, Phoebe!" I greet as I walk over to her locker at the beginning of the school day.

"Oh hi, Chris!" She responded, pulling her books out of her locker. I knew that she was one of the smartest girls in our school, yet she had dyslexia. If you ever see her outside of school, you'll see she is an amazing dancer and gymnast as well.

"Have you seen Zoe?" She added, glancing around the hallway.

Of course! Zoe was her twin sister who had messy black hair and scary gray eyes. She was captain of the girl's swim team and one of the most athletic girls at school. She hated school though and had both ADHD and Dyslexia.

Phoebe and Zoe are always together and Zoe is super overprotective, so I haven't been able to make a move. I once even saw Zoe punch a boy in the face when he tried to ask Phoebe out on a date. I despised Zoe for coming between our relationship!

"No, sorry." I replied. Phoebe would never go on a date with me if I said something bad about her twin, so I pretended to like her.

"Oh, that's fine! I'm sure she is just calling her gir- Her really close friend from our Camp!" Phoebe responded. What was she going to say before she changed it to 'camp friend'?

"So... do you wanna go out to that new restaurant with me for dinner tonight?" I asked, shyly scratching the back of my head. What if she said no?

"Sure!" YES, YES, YES, YES! "I'll text the rest of the group and ask right now!" What? No! She didn't realize that I meant on a date...

Before I could clarify, the bell rang. I looked to my best friend/hopefully almost-girlfriend to say bye. All I got was a face full of hair as she turned away and raced off to class.

Dang, I would never get my chance alone with her! I stalked off to Math in a horrible mood, devising a plan to get Phoebe. When I reached class, I sat down in the back and stared off into space.

I was shaken out of my daydream when a voice I recognized sounded through the room as the classroom door slammed open. "Hi... Sorry I'm late! I had a meeting with my swim coach to discuss swim tryouts and it ran a little late!" A whole period late? And why was Zoe covered in golden dust?

"Okay, have a seat." Mr. Herod said reluctantly and gestured for her to sit down. Zoe smiled and came to sit in the empty seat next to me. I faked a smile at her before staring back into nothingness.
