Hades' Lost Son

Schools of Humans

"Alex, come on, wake up ugh," Gwyn shook his friend's shoulder, trying to wake the sleeping boy. He was harder to wake then Felix was, which was saying something.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear, Gwyn chuckled as Felix entered the room, wearing (once again) only his boxers.

"You know, that's not very considerate," Gwyn complained, looking away from his friend. The two were actually cousins. Gwyn got booted from his house after his parents picked him up from the police station (yes, the night that he had met Alex). They claimed to not want a 'crime stricken, jail bird' living under their roof. Like seriously? It was one damn painting. Felix, well his parents ran the biggest church in California, and let's say they don't approve of sex outside of marriage, and Felix, well...Let's leave that there.

Alex finally stirred, after Gwyn had been sitting there for forever trying to wake him up.

"Good morning to you," Alex said, his voice still laced with sleep.

"Yeah, same to you. You're gonna make me late for school, HURRY UP!" Gwyn replied, rather annoyed.

Alex bolted up, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hinder you from your normal morning rituals!" Alex quickly stood up, yanking off his sleeping shorts, and pulling on the jeans he had got yesterday.

"Do you not know how to change behind a closed door," Gwyn called out, shielding his eyes from what Alex was doing.

Alex looked up after removing his shirt, "Is changing in the open not normal? I just assumed because of Felix."

Felix, who was sitting at the table, waved at the two, lifting a cup of coffee in acknowledgement, smirking, "Alektos, I didn't expect you to be so, physically fit."

Alex looked down at his torso, yes it contained a solid abdomen (6 pack) and muscular breast, but he thought that was normal for males, "As a child, I was taught if you can't keep yourself healthy, you cannot expect to be able to take care of anything else."

Gwyn grabbed his bag from the floor, near the hall, "Alex, we gotta go. We're gonna be late if we don't. It's a ten minute walk and school starts in 13. We need to hurry."

"Goodbye Felix," Alex waved his goodbye, grabbing his satchel, which contained his new binder that had the two notebooks he had bought, the folders, two pencils and eraser within it. He then followed Gwyn out the door, down the stairs, and onto the street.

~~~Time Skip: Inside the school~~~

Placing his satchel in his locker, and removing the binder from it, placing it on top of the Algebra 2 book he received yesterday, Alex looked around, trying to spot someone he knew.

A group of girls was looking at him, giggling and whispering. He caught one of them say "Isn't that Alex, the weirdo who looked so weird yesterday? Damn, he changed his look."

He smiled, then ran a hand through his hair, seeing if that would do anything. The girls giggled more as they started walking the other way.

"Damn dude," Gwyn said as he walked up, "one smile and you can wrap any one of them around your finger."

"I believe that would be physically impossible, as a human body could not wrap around one of my fingers," Alex replied, very confused by the comment.

Gwyn chuckled, "No, like you could totally date one of them."

"Date?" Alex looked even more confused as he took his binder out of his locker then shut the metal door.

"Yeah, like, uh" Gwyn's words failed him, and he didn't know how to explain it, then light bulb, "you know how Emerson had that chick, uh Cybele or whatever. Those two are together, they are dating."
