| Seiko's POV

It was now Friday and my week has been terrible. Hiro has forced me to 'fetch' whatever he desired when he wanted it but I'm just glad that over the weekend, I won't be seeing him. I needed a break.

He treated me like a dog! You know, usually, you would think that they're just trying to be funny. No, he loved every second of torturing me.

The upcoming soccer game next week has been the talk of the school and I didn't care for it. Especially since Hiro and Zuko are part of their star lineup.

I found out that the soccer game is the night before my birthday. I have an excuse to avoid going and I couldn't be more happy!

Today, I wore my famous stiletto heels because it's a Friday. You can't go wrong with wearing heels on a Friday. Impossible.

The bell rang and I quickly walked to my first class. It was kinda lonely since Deimos hasn't been there. Mr. Gustavo questioned his absence since it was unusual and I had no answer for him.

How can I tell him that the god he was just teaching us about the prior day has come to take Deimos?

He wouldn't believe me. I'm sure of it.

I found myself sitting in my seat that was right next to Deimos' vacant seat.

I felt horrible for Micah.

The poor baby hasn't shown up to school for the last few days. I would ask Hiro about him but he would tell me the same thing every time. Micah isn't okay. I know he isn't. I wanted to be there for him.

The way Micah is handling this was as if Deimos was his mate and that's how I knew his love ran deeper than what all of us may think.

"Good morning class," Mr. Gustavo greets while rising from behind his desk. "Today, we'll be continuing with our projects. Work silently and diligently." he sat back down in his seat and started reading that book that was written by that crazed old man.

I found myself curious.

I walked over to my lecturer and he looked up from where he was sitting. "Miss Li, how may I help you?"

"That book," I point my index finger at it. "Do you believe that they are real?"

"I believe a lot of things are capable of existing. Just because we've never seen it, doesn't mean they're not real, Miss Li." he sat the book down. "Same thing as religion. We've never encountered the moon goddess before but we still believe in her."

"I suppose so," I mumbled. "Can you tell me more about Death?"

His eyes lit up with interest. "You have an obsession with him too? If one more girl comes up-."

"No," I softly laugh at his expression. "I'm curious about him because... I'm interested in Mythology. It's fun learning about beings that are proclaimed to exist but we've never seen them before. Just like aliens."
