Hestia: The Goddess of Compassion

Chapter 3

A sudden splash of ice-cold water on my face wakes me up, I gasp for air as I sit upright on my now soaking bed, "good morning sunshine,"

"What the fuck is that for Seb?"

"Return gift for that goodnight kiss?" he shrugs, handing me a towel kept on a nearby chair.

"Real sweet," I said as I wiped the water from my face, "Who let you in?"

"No one, I came from the window,"

"Damn, one night with me and your breaking in skills have improved,"

"That sounds so wrong but okay," he says as he takes a seat on the carpet and starts scrolling on the phone. I sigh and head into the bathroom to get ready for expulsion from school. Initially, I had planned my entrance on my skateboard but since Seb is here that means I get to ride his bike, and now my entrance will be more dramatic than before.

Within five minutes we reached school but instead of parking the bike in the parking lot, I head straight towards the main entrance of the school, from behind, I hear Seb shouting but I zone it out and listen to my ecstatic heartbeat instead, I close my eyes as I brace for the impact of the glass doors breaking, just a millimeter away from them.

When the glass doesn't break, I open my eyes stopping the bike and see my biology teacher and my mother holding the doors open, with mortified facial expressions along with all the kids aligned in a line along the hallway. Shucks my mom ruined my dramatic moment.

Seb dismounts the bike first and faints onto the floor, which causes everybody's focused to shift from me to Seb only for a moment. I dismount the bike slowly and start heading towards the parking lot to park it, but just as I am about to leave my mom whispers in my ear, " Estas tan muerta," (you are so dead in Spanish).

Gasps are heard across the students who understood Spanish probably astonished that their principal is bilingual for my mother rarely spoke Spanish and for her to curse in Spanish meant she is mad, real mad.

I is debating on escaping but that would only lead to my mom disowning me, so I man up and head to her office to face the consequences. In my head, honestly this played out better and my mom didn't look like a fuming fire breathing dragon like the one painted outside her office. I push open the door and stand in the disorganized, heavily cluttered office of hers.

She glares at me, "Is Sebastian involved in all of this?"

"No," I mutter quickly, maybe too quickly because she gives me a suspicious look.

"Go empty your locker and sit outside the school, I will arrange you a cab to your new boarding school,"

"What about my clothes?"

"You can go shop there," she goes back to her work, showing that the conversation is over.

As I head towards my locker, so many bitches give me the stink-eye one even has the nerve to talk loudly to her friends, "Oh em gee, I heard that she manipulated Sebastian into talking to her," taunting me.

I am just about to rip her eyes out along with her fake eyelashes, almost looking like a broom when Seb takes my bag from me, carrying it for me.

"Relax, adding murder to your list of to do is not necessary," he says chuckling, "Anyway what's the status?"

"I am leaving for a boarding school," I say as I start emptying my locker into my bag.

"I know that but when?"

"Right now,"

"What!?" Seb's eyed widen, he is just about to say something when he got cut off by the announcement over the intercom, "Sebastian Vettel to reach the principal's office right now,"
