Convenient Coincident

Chapter 1

~~Athena~~

Mr.Spencer talks feverishly fast, making it hard for me to take notes, and causing my hand to cramp up. The bell finally rings for lunch and I breathe a sigh of relief, rolling my wrist and cracking my fingers. I pack up my stuff and head out of the classroom.

I finish putting my stuff into my locker, slamming it shut. I head my way to the lunchroom, but got stopped by someone screaming my name and telling me to wait up. I turned around to find Gail.

Gail had blonde highlights and extremely pretty green eyes that I've never seen on anyone else but her. She was walking my way with her boyfriend Lance in tow.

I smile at her and Lance, as they finally get to where I was standing. Lance's black hair was shorter than before, so he must have just gotten a haircut.

"Hey! Nice haircut!" I voiced my thoughts.

"Thanks Athena," He said a little sheepishly, since he was a pretty shy kid. I look to Gail and hug her, and we start walking to lunch again.

"So are you going to sit with us at lunch today or are you going to sit with Naomi and Fern?" Gail asks. I simply shrug, not really sure yet.

When we got into the lunchroom I don't buy any food since I wasn't really hungry. I wave goodbye to Gail and Lance as they went to buy lunch. I walk towards Naomi and Fern as a last minute decision.

Naomi's long black hair swishes to the side when she turns around to me. Fern has tight brown curls pulled back into a ponytail, she also turns to look at me. They both smile and wave to me.

I sit down across from Fern. I was about to say something when someone leaned their head on my head. I looked up to find my best friends Ebony, grinning down at me.

"Heyyyyyyy bestie, what's shakin?" Ebony asked as she gets off of my head and sits next to me.

"Pesto," I say referring to her chihuahua dog that literally never stops shaking, not even when he's sleeping. My comment makes her laugh.

"Yea... I think my dog has problems," She says while still laughing, and I couldn't help but join her. We were interrupted when Brit, came and started ranting about how Mrs.Chandy was being totally unfair for making her get detention for texting.

"Ugh... She acts like she is all high and mighty just because she's a teacher, when we all know she is really just an old hag who has relationship problems," Brit finishes. Me and Ebony laughed at the last part because it was true.

Mrs.Chandy had a huge crush on our principle Mr.Thomas. She isn't old though, she is only around her 30s but Brit seems to think that's old. Mr.Thomas is married though, much to Mrs.Chandy's distaste. There is also Mr.Shawn and he's obsessed with Mrs.Chandy completing the little love triangle.

Dylan, Brit's boyfriend came from behind her and covered her eyes in a very cheesy way.

"Guess who," he says.

"Brad Pitt?" Brit asks, making me and Ebony bite our lips so we don't burst out laughing. Dylan frowns, obviously not amused. He takes his hands off of Brit's eyes and sits next to her.

Brit and Dylan go into their little cupcake mode which makes me and Ebony look away so we don't want to gag.

I was grabbing the cookie Naomi just offered me off her tray when Ebony started elbowing me over and over again and grabbing my arm and shaking it like crazy causing me to drop the cookie on the floor.

"Well, thanks Ebony," I laugh as I pick up the cookie off the floor and wrapping it in a napkin going to throw it away. Ebony stopped me before I could though, Shaking my arm again.

"Look!!! Oh my gosh look!!! He just walked in!!" Ebony squealed. I didn't have to even look up to know who she's talking about since she does this every day. I roll my eyes and look to see Jace, the guy Ebony has a huge crush on. He suddenly turns like he felt our stare on him, and winks at Ebony.

Ebony looked as if she was gonna hyperventilate any minute now. I wasn't surprised that he winked at her, she was extremely pretty. She had long strawberry blonde hair and green eyes.

The bell rang dismissing class. I only had one class left since my grades were extremely high I had shorter school days than everyone else. I headed towards art, taking the shortcut through the juniors hallway.

As I arrived at Art I saw Gail, Trent and Dina arguing on who gets what color. I snuck up and look at all of their drawings. Dina had a bird, Trent has an angel, and Gail had a potato.

"Dina use lavender, Trent use mahogany to accent your blue, and Gail use Yellow with the green," I intervened. Everyone jumped, just now noticing me there, then they nodded in approval at my color choices for their abstract paintings.

The art class ended and I headed home, while my friends went to their last class. When I got home I was greeted by my sister shirtless with only her bra on and sweat pants laying on the couch, with her pregnant belly sticking out.

"Hey Athena, can you get me some sherbert ice cream?" She asked nonchalantly as if she didn't notice her shirt missing.

"Uhhh.... why are you shirtless?" I ask warily. She looks exasperated as if I should already know the answer.

"It was hot in here so I took off my shirt, and now I want ice cream," She said in a duh tone.

"Couldn't you have just turned up the AC?" I ask, my eyebrows furrowing. She looked at me in bewilderment.

"That's waaaay too far away, it's easier to just take off my shirt." I just give her the weirdest look and nod. I quickly grab her ice cream.

"Here you go Persie," I hand her the Ice cream.

My mom has this weird fetish for Greek Mythology that's why my name is Athena, My sister is Persephone, and then there is my terrier Apollo. I was about to leave the room when I saw my sister slather the ice cream on her belly.

"What are you doing?" I ask, not completely surprised though since my family is really weird.

"I told you, I'm hot," she says in an irritated voice, obvious annoyed that I don't know this.

"Errr... ok" I head up to my room and start my homework.

I finished my homework in 20 minutes. I heard my mom call me down so I headed down stairs and to the kitchen.

"Hey Athen, can you set up the table please?" as she stirred the pasta we were having for dinner. I nodded heading toward the dining room and setting up the table with plates and silverware.

After a little while everyone came to eat dinner including Apollo. Persie, thankfully, was wearing a shirt again. My mom started telling a greek myth like she usually does every dinner. Seriously, my mom is obsessed. She told us the tale of Eros and Psyche, which I've heard a billion times already, but it was still my favorite.

After dinner I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and headed to bed. I set my alarm clock for 5 in the morning and drifted off to sleep.
