Star-Crossed Myth: The Divine Fate (Book One)

Scorpio, The Abrasive and Cool: Story 2

The next day...

I wake up with a start, looking around my bedroom, deciding if I want to go to work and deal with everything that happened yesterday or just stay in bed, hoping that I don't see any of the gods' faces. But, the guilt gets to me and decide to go to work and see if everything turned out okay in the end, remembering Ichthys saying that 'they would handle it'. Whatever that means.

Doing my usual routine, I set out and head to work.

Once I arrive I cautiously go through the back door, scanning my surroundings. Not sure what to expect.

"Abbey!" I hear someone call out. "Good morning!"

I freeze when I hear Emily's voice and she comes out of the opposing door, greeting me.

"E-Emily." I nervously say with a wave. "Good morning."

We stand there in silence for a moment.

Is she not going to bring up what happened yesterday?

"So...about yesterday...are you—?"

"Oh my god, crazy, right?" She laughs.

"Yeah..." I pause for a moment as I watch her fix her makeup at the vanity. "You seem perfectly fine for someone who nearly fell off a roof."

Then again so did I.

"What are you talking about?" She looks at me through the mirror. "I mean sure it was busy, and crowded but no one fell off the roof. Which reminds me, I guess we should let Jack know about those rusty old railings before someone does end up falling."

"Uhh..." I'm at a lost for words. Does she not remember what happened?

Then it dawns on me that this is what the gods meant by 'handling it'. Just erasing their memories of last nights event.

Holy crap. They really can erase memories. Glad they didn't erase my existence from everyone's minds then.

"Anyways, it was totally not fair how you left in the middle of everything."

"Oh...um, I'm sorry. I hope everyone isn't mad." I innocently say.

She laughs again. "Mad? Are you kidding me, I think we were all more shocked than mad."

I tilt my head. "What do you mean?"

"The fact you left with all those handsome men. You seem awfully close to them." She teases.

I gawk and quickly go to my locker, quickly changing into my uniform. "I-I don't know what you mean...sure I guess I know them but I wouldn't say we're close."

It turns out that they're all gods and I'm a goddess who must erase their mark of sins... Who would of thought right? As much as I want to say that, she'll probably think I'm joking...or bat-shit crazy.

"So, is one of them your boyfriend?" Emily suddenly appears beside me.

I slam my locker shut. "Oh god no!"

She gasps "Ooh! Which one?" She tugs at my arm excitedly.

"I bet it's the one with black hair." Suddenly, I feel my other arm being tugged at as a calm voice speaks.

I turn to see Melissa, who shows a small smile.

I think about it for a moment, Scorpio popping into my mind as events from last night play out. With all the threatening and insulting things, he said
