SEVEN: A Little Magic

Helena and Mal then left the bathroom after their conversation with Jane, going their separate ways to their next class. Helena's steps slowed to a stop as she reached her next class, the Greek Education Program. She contemplated skipping this class and heading off somewhere else, but she needed the help and this class was the only way to get it. Letting out a sigh, Helena opened the door and entered the classroom. 

The classroom was rather large and spacious, looking more like a Greek lounge than a classroom. The room was split into various sections depending on what subject you needed help in- Math, Science, English, Social Studies, history, etc. Each section had a table with four chairs and whatever materials you needed, you could find in the shelves that ran along the sides of the room.In the front of the room, there was a large wooden desk with a man sitting behind it, which Helena assumed was the teacher.

The man looked up at Helena once he heard the door open. He had curly, shoulder-length brown hair, a scruffy beard, and intense eyes. "Ah, you must be Helena," The teacher said, hastily rising up from his seat. "My name is Chiron. I run the Greek Education Program and I am very excited to have you as one of my students." Helena shook Chiron's hand when he held it out in front of her, seeing the man smile slightly as she did before she pulled her hand away. 

"Hey Chiron, I need help with this chemistry assignment...." Someone shouted once they entered the room, stopping right in their tracks once they saw Helena. It was a boy around her age with a strong build; dark, curly hair; and a varsity jacket. The daughter of Hades already knew who this boy was just as he already knew who she was as well. They were the only Greek students at this school. They were both avoiding each other and doing a good job at it, but their meeting was inevitable.   

"Hector, I would like you to meet our newest student," Chiron spoke since neither of the teengers did. "This is Helena, daughter of Hades and Persephone. Helena, this is Hector, son of Hercules and Megara. 

"Hey," Hector mumbled. 

"Sup," Helena responded, wanting nothing more than to get away from all the tension and awkwardness. Neither teenager knew what to do. They were family, yes, but practically raised in two different worlds and now had to spend an entire year together in the same classroom. 

Chiron cleared his throat, gaining the attention of the two descendants standing in front of him. "Now, you two are the only students in this program. I don't expect you two to be the best of friends, but I do expect you both to treat each other with respect. No matter who your parents are, you are here to get an education," The teacher stated clearly and firmly, his voice leaving no room for argument as Hector and Helena remained silent. Chrion then turned his attention toward his newest student, "And Helena, feel free to come by anytime you please if you're ever having any trouble with anything. My door is always open."

"Hey there, Helena," Ben said to Helena as the daughter of Hades walked onto the tourney field after school. The prince was dressed in a yellow t-shirt and shorts, a whistle around his neck with a clipboard and pen in his hands.
