Greek and Roman Demigods Unite

CHAPTER 27- Hermes

CHAPTER 27

Hermes's POV

Life can be so boring sometimes.

But always busy.

And annoying.

"Oh Hermes! Remind Zeus about his hair appointment on Thurday.

Oh Hermes! It's so and so's birthday. Give them this gift.

Oh Hermes! Make sure you tell this and this demigod to stay away from permanent markers!

Oh Hermes! Oh Hermes! Oh Hermes!"

"Oh George! How does that sound?" George asked.

"Wonderful just wonderful" Martha sarcastically remarked.

"I know right? It makes me sound important. Oh George!"

"No it doesn't"

"Yes it does. Your just jealous."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No."

"Yes. 

"No. 

"Yes." 

"No."

"Yes."

"STOP IT! Shut up you two!"

Martha apologized. "Sorry Hermes, we're so sorry, we didn't mean to-"

"You don't have to be so pushy geeze!" George persisted. 

"Why I even keep you two is a mystery to me..."

Baby, baby, baby, oh!

"Aphrodite calling!" Martha informed me.

Like baby, baby, baby, no!

I went to answer it when George stopped me.

"Wait! Let the music play!" he started to do this really weird snake dance. Almost like the worm.... But the snake....

"Like baby, baby, baby oh! Thought you'd always be a mine, mine!" he sang.

"Hello?" I answered cutting him off.

"Hermes. 500 roses. Delivered. To this really hot person."

"Who is this really hot person, Aphrodite?" I sighed.

Not skipping a beat, she continued, "Me duh! Oh and also I need more MAKEUP! The most expensive so.. THE BEST makeup for me! Oh and there is this love problem going on so I need so not so expensive makeup and some... You know what? Can you just close a designer store so I can just grab some clothes and stuff when I need it? Thanks so much!"

Beeeeeeep.

"At least she said thank you this time." Martha tried to cheer me up.

"Oh what a great plus." I said sarcastically. "Well, better go get some expensive makeup and close a designer store."

"Wait!!!" George yelled. "Poseidon just text you."

I looked at my iPhone.

I need u 2 set trap 4 Ares. Don't worry u don't hafta make it, Athena did already. Just place 4 us.

"What does he mean by Athena already made it? They hate each other!" I said aloud.

"I don't know, maybe he meant Ares and that he wants to set the trap on Athena!" George suggested.

"I wasn't talking to you!"

"Then who were you talking to?"

"Myself!"

"Are you crazy?"

"Never mind... and besides, Ares doesn't have the smarts enough to make a trap. But it still is suspicious..."

"Well, you should still do it." Martha chided. "And quick too before-"

"Apollo would like to do a Facetime chat!" George interrupted.

"-someone else needs something." Martha finished.

I ignored the pair and accepted the call.

"Hello?" 

"Ooh let me be in the camera!" George insisted.

"Hermes is talking to Apollo!" Martha tried to hush George.

"What happens if I do this!" he went up to the camera. "Oooh! Snake eyes! Scary! HAHAHA!"

"GO AWAY!" I yelled.

"Sorry Hermes," George apologized as he followed Martha back into the phone.

...

"Sorry about that." I apologized finally getting to see Apollo's face, which was quite red.

"I don't have time for this! I need speak to my son! But I can't for reasons I cannot get into. I need you to give this flash drive" (he held up a flash drive with a yellow cover.) "to him. Can you handle that?" he gave me a look that made me feel extremely guilty... Like I had already done something to mess it up. Gulp.

I put on my poker face and quickly responded. "Of course. Leave it to me."

"Good." his face froze for a second and the image burned into my mind. I shouldn't be scared of him  

I'm a god! Still... Something told me I wouldn't be too happy if I messed this up. The screen went black.

"So..." George interrupted my thoughts. "I'm guessing this is a little more important than make up?"

At this point Martha slapped him. (well however a snake can slap a snake.)

Sigh. Why did I have to be the messenger of the gods?
