Her Five Protectors

ELEVEN

Athena takes a ride to school along with Romeo. Alexander and Vittorio are in a different car. Athena could say that she likes Romeo's company more than the other two.

They are always making mean comments about her but Romeo seems to be the nicest one. He had never really said anything bad to her. He seems nice and approachable same like Luciano.

Vittorio is crazy mean, Alexander is totally rude. Vincenzo is just straight up scary. Now that, Athena is allowed to go in public, her main focus is on escaping. She wants to runaway from this whole lie that she is their real sister Ariana.

"Ok. So everyone knows that you are back. But don't worry no one would bother you. Just stay quiet like a good girl."

There is a pause.

"I know that you will but still don't give answers to anyone's ridiculous questions. If they try to do anything, you are straight up coming to one of us. You get it, Ariana?" Romeo tries to make her understand.

Despite knowing everything that she is not real Ariana, he does not want her to get in any kind of trouble and risk her safety in any way.

Athena watches with amazement as the car finally stops in front of a marvellous building. She is simply fascinated and feels like she has stepped in a different world. She takes notice of many other students who are wearing the same uniform as her and Ariana's brothers.

Romeo clicks a button. Both doors of his car opens and he tells Athena to step out. Immediately, she is the center of some sort of attention of everyone. Many gasps and many excited squeals could be heard.

Athena looks scared and she unconsciously grabs Romeo's hand. Thankfully, he lets her hold his hand.

"ARIANA!!!" That same girl Grace followed by a group of girls came running towards her. She was about to throw herself at Athena but Romeo pulls Athena back.

"Grace! Ariana is not well." Alexander who suddenly approaches them out of nowhere, says nonchalantly. Vittorio is also standing along with him. Grace is about to say something but she stops as she looks at someone behind them.

"Uh-oh. They are coming here." Athena looks back to see a group of three boys. All of them are coming in their direction.

"Take her inside." Alexander says to his brother Romeo who nods his head and tugs Athena inside.

Athena fiddles with her fingers as she sits down in the back of her first class. She avoids looking at the curious faces of her fellow classmates.

"Sup Ariana." Athena glances up to see a guy standing in front of her.

"Wanna hang out tonight babe?" He smirks asking her and runs his fingers through his curly mess of black hair.

Athena tilts her face slightly in confusion and shakes her head. The guy's smirk falters slightly and he raises his brow.

"That's a weird look on your face. It doesn't suit you though." He snickers making others laugh too.

"Why not Max? She looks cute." A girl with fiery red hair and crystal blue eyes speaks loudly. With her arms cross over her chest, she leans her side against the guy that Athena could assume as Max.

"Looks like she has hit her head pretty hard." Someone scoffs.

Athena glances down at her table and frowns.

"Brittney, kindly fuck off!" Max rolls his eyes and takes a seat beside Athena who uncomfortably shifts. Max takes a notice of this but he does not comment anything on it.

Within the next 45 minutes, Athena just stares outside the window. Few mocking and concerned whispers reaches her ears. She could not even understand those few pointed words. But Max and that girl sitting in front of her made sure to glare at everyone.

As the class ends, that girl links her arm around Athena's arm. Athena flinches a little but the girl does not care to notice. Her name is Sarah. They follow Max out to their next class. On their way, someone accidentally bumps into Sarah.

"Watch your way, bitch!" Sarah shouts at the guy with big nerdy glasses who cowers back in fear. His books drops down on floor near Athena's feet. Athena quickly bends down to pick his books up. It immediately gains everyone's attention as she hands them to him. His jaw drops on the ground and he hesitanly grab them from Athena's hands before muttering a small thanks. He looks awestruck.

Athena shyly looks down as everyone is staring at her with wide eyes. Sarah dramatically holds her head and pretends to faint in Max's arms.

"What did I just see?" She whispers sounding completely horrified.

"It's sure that she has hit her head a little too hard. Because there is no way she's still that same old Ariana!"
