Chance To Be Good?

Chapter 16

I get to my mother as the party starts. "darling, I was just about to go. Why aren't you at the party?" "Dad wants me to train under Aries and Athena, maybe a few others if possible? It's the half term soon and I need to start training," I tell her "oh alright, I will sort something out for you" I smile and nod "tell them I can't train as often during school" I warn her "of course, I won't forget" she chuckles before vanishing into the darkness I turn around to see fireworks but I made my way to the dorms since today took a lot of energy and I was still so confused about a lot of things. As soon as I got in and took off my makeup, undid my hair and got out of the dress and hung it up. The rest of the week was pretty much boring before it turned into the holidays and I waited for any notice about my training, which didn't take much longer after Monday came around, and so did a box. Inside the box was a whole new outfit that I quickly put on, it was a white dress that I had seen Persephone wear but this was different, there were blue streaks on it and a golden chest plate thing which I put on "ah, your dressed, my apologies I took so long, my name is Athena" the lady smiles as she appears in front of me "Persephone explained everything which was why it took ages, oh! This is such a nice ring. Now first things first, breakfast. You are still mortal, meaning you'll have to eat. Unlike your mother, I didn't bring French food but a nice Greek breakfast... Well, I think it's nice. It isn't much, just a few things and some orange juice. Now I'm going to go find this Audrey girl" she smiles before leaving so I eat the egg muffin and Rizogalo which was pretty much rice pudding. I then down the orange juice as Athena returns "I told Audrey that you wanted to say sorry for the first encounter but struggled to figure out how to then your sister made you take her boyfriend and how you are sorry for the crumbling one-sided relationship...she's still mad but slightly understands" I nod "right well, let's go-" we hear a loud knock at the door so Athena opens it "uh, hi?" The voice asks so I poke my head around "hi Ben! Sorry, I can't talk, I'm going with Athena to do some things" I explain "oh, I see, will you be back tonight?" He asks and I look at Athena. "of course! Oh! You wanted to ask her on a date, I am so so sorry" Athena gasps "I'll be free tonight" he smiles and I quickly kiss him "see you later Ben!" I wave goodbye before shutting the door and walking through the now-open portal.

We arrive in Athena's library "ah, I didn't realize this was where it was taking us, no worries, we can walk to the location" and with that, we began walking out of the building and around Olympus, she showed me everything before we met up with Aries and basic training began, it took hours and hours to basic training to get anywhere with the god of war being an impatient prick who wanted to move on. But we got there by the time I had to go I was done with basic training and ready for the next level. "You are pretty good kid, by the end of the holiday, you'll nearly be like us but demi" Aries chuckles before sending me back to my dorm where I quickly change my clothes and freshen up as the door gets a loud knock so I click my fingers causing the door to creak open "just in time, come on, we're going to watch a movie in a cinema, I reserved a room for us and a few others who wanted to see, I think it's a horror film called Poltergeist" I nod as I put on a jacket before walking out of the dorm and shut the door, we walk hand in hand to the front where the others were waiting in the limo and we get in, the ride of pretty loud with the amount of chatter going on.

When we entered the cinema I shudder from the sudden temperature change whilst the group get the tickets sorted, snacks, drinks and we get taken to the rented-out theatre and we pick our seats as the advertisements roll for a few minutes before the movie starts. I just stare at the screen fully interested about the movie but all of the scares just didn't affect me like the others who screamed and hide there faces behind anything. By the end of the movie I was ready for bed "that movie was pretty scary, and I thought Maleficent was terrifying" Carlos chuckles "you thought that was scary?" I ask raising an eyebrow "you didn't?" Lonnie asks and I shake my head and yawn "it made me want a nap, oh my god you should have seen Ben, he looked like he was going to crap himself shitless- sorry mind my language" I sigh "it's alright" "I can't believe you told them" Ben laughs "I think y'all should take a bathroom break before we go back, don't want any unwanted accidents on the way back to campus" I snicker as we leave the theatre, I wait in the main lobby for them to leave the bathrooms since they took up my suggestion. "Hey, aren't you dating the king?" I voice asks so I turn and look at a small child "uh yeah?" I respond "cool!" She gasps before running off "you ready to go? We're just waiting on the guys" Lonnie puts an arm around my shoulder "yeah, I think Jane would have liked to have came with us if she want in time out" I tell her "oh for sure, it's also a shame Evie and Mal couldn't come" "oh they could, they just didn't want to" we walk to the limo and get in moments before the guys leave the cinema and pile into the limo and we return back to campus.

"How did you find the movie?" Ben asks as we walk hand in hand to the dorm block "it was interesting, hardly scary but interesting" I shrugged "you didn't find the Poltergeist scary? It was terrifying!" I laugh at his response "what can I say? I am the Princess of the underworld I have seen a lot of unusual things go on things you wouldn't believe were real but maybe one day I'll take you to see it" we walk inside "I will have to take you up on that, what about sometime next year? I'm sure I can clear out a day from my schedule" he suggests "maybe you should work on the other VKs first but we will see" we stand outside of my room "will you be free any other time during break" he asks with hope in his eyes "depends on training, after all if I want to become a goddess and maybe one day take over my dad's territory I got to be stronger but I will try and reason with Athena and my mother before I can get back to you on that" I smile "alright, don't over work yourself" "you too Ben" I pull him into a kiss before ruffling his hair and sliding into my dorm room"
