The Kings Villain

~The Date~

Athena was walking along the park, taking in her surroundings when she heard someone from behind her call her name.

"Athena, hey. Wait up." She heard, causing her to turn around and see Ben running towards her, cheeks flushed and hair slightly messy. This is the most disheveled she has ever seen him.

"Oh, hey Ben." She said as she allowed him to catch his breath. She has recently been seeing him practically everywhere.

"Hey, i was wondering if we could hang out later." He asked.

Athena expected this. He's been acting extremely sweet since the love potion, following her around, holding her books, helping her with anything and everything.

To be honest, Athena loves the attention. She can't remember the last time someone paid this much attention to her. But she knew she couldn't like it too much. She wanted to focus on getting her sister here without the complication of feelings. But she couldn't help herself when it came to this.

"I'd love to." She said a little too quickly before composing herself.

Ben let out a little laugh before speaking again. "Great, how about at 3:00?" He asked, to which she nodded.

After he left, she ran to search for Evie. She would never admit it, but she was beyond nervous.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There you are! I have been looking for you literally everywhere!" Athena yelled at her as she approached Evie and Doug.

"What's wrong?" Evie asked, concerned.

Athena took a deep breath before saying what she needed to. "Ben just asked me out on a date, and i have no idea what im going to wear."

Evie let out a laugh at how dramatic Athena was acting."We can handle this. Bye." Evie said as she got up to take Athena back to their dorm.

"Bye." Doug responded.

The two girls began to walk, talking about what they were going to do.

"Okay. Easy on the blush. I don't want to scare him away. Not that I could." Athena said as she tried to wack away Evie's hand before going back to playing with her hands, a habit she picked up awhile ago.

"Please. My mom taught me how to apply blush before I could even talk. Always use upward strokes." Evie said, slightly offended at Athenas' lack of trust in her skill.

"Cant related. My mom never gave makeup tips. I remember having to go in her room and play with her makeup without permission." Athena said as she gave smiled at the memory.

"Do you ever get afraid of her?" Evie asked, brushing through Athena's hair.

"I used to be, but now im just confused by her. One second, im the daughter she always wanted. Next, im her biggest disappointment. What about you. Are you afraid of your mom?" Athena asked as she turned towards Evie.

"Sometimes, but let's not get into that. Come see." She said as she grabbed athena, pulling her up.

Athena stood in front of their mirror, looking at herself with a slight smile.

"You truly are a miracle worker, evie." She said as she smoothed her hands over her skirt, sweating a little from how nervous she was.

"Oh, i know." Evie said, putting her head on Athenas shoulder. Before, they both heard a knock on the door.

Athena went to open the door, seeing ben on the other side.

"Wow, you truly are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." He said as he stared at her for a moment.
