Nightmare

God of death

Ring ring ring !

Oh lunch time, I can finally relax and take my time analyzing my environment.

I brought my lunch box which consist of a fruit salad and gold fish crackers mmm! My favorite.

I was sitting alone munching my food when suddenly two girls came up to me with  the brightest smiles in their faces.
They asked me if they can sit next to me and of course I responded with a yes.

"Hi I'm Hannah you can call me Han"one of them sweetly said after she placed her tray on the table and took her seat.
Hannah  was wearing a white tank-top and a skinny jeans, with her sun kissed blonde curls running down her shoulders and blue eyes I've always wished to have.

"And I'm Emily, call me Em" the other one finished looking at me with eager eyes and a strange expression of excitement.
She had her hair  combed into a ponytail, and she was wearing a V-neck ,dark-blue dress to her knees-length.

They were both different but each one of them was radiant  in her own way.

" I'm pearl, and you can call me whatever you see fit " I said wondering whether I've ever had a nickname before other then being called sugar pie by my dad if that even counts as a nickname.

"So Pearl how do you know him ?" Hannah asked looking at me mischievously.

What is she talking about? who is he ?!

Em probably saw the troubled expression on my face because she answered my questioning eyes right the way.
"Han is talking about god of death"

God of death? Are they making fun of me! Is this a joke or some kind of candid camera I've never heard of being done to new comers.

" What are you guys talking about?" I asked a bit angry this time.

"Oh common don't play us for fools you know what we are talking about" Han said while winking at me.

" I have absolutely no idea who or what you're talking about" I reassured her raising my voice a bit to convince her.

" don't you remember this morning you came late to the class accompanied by Hades" Han said while looking at me as if I was dumb or something.

And then It hit me hard on the head so she is talking about him that annoying guy who was about to drive me crazy this morning with his ignorance and egoism.

" oh that guy what a strange name he has" I laughed as I repeated his name.
I mean no offense but I've never heard of such a name before it's quite rare.

" you mean you don't know?" Em shouted out of the blue for the whole people to hear.

I  pleaded for her to sit back again because it's was becoming quite the spectacle, people all over the cafeteria were starting at us.

Em looked at me with annoyance and then she sighed taking her sit back.
"okay okay let me explain" she started  "you see Hades is not his real name , but we call him that because though he is handsome he has the aura of death around him"

" aura of death?"

She glared at me for interrupting her story which was probably supposed to be scary.
" one glance from him and you're dead , if you talk to him then you're sure to fall sick"

Suddenly she begin to lower her voice and I figured she was about to say something much more dangerous.

" there is also a rumor circulating around :they say that he killed his own family" she whispered, looking around making sure he wouldn't show up out of nowhere and swallow her.

Killed his own family?! That's crazy who would believe such a nonsense, this is ridiculous.

Em and Han looked at me both waiting for me to scream out of fear and which I didn't, so it was quite a disappointment for them especially for Em who so passionately told me all the rumors she gathered.

"And why was he specifically named Hades" I asked choosing not to argue with her about the reliability of her rumors.

"Hades is the name of the god of death in Greek mythology, and it was said that he was a handsome god" Han explained like a professional in Greek mythology.
"because of this the whole school started calling him Hades god of death"
" to the point we forgot his real name" Em added while laughing.

As for me I stared blankly while the same sentence repeated over and over in my head:
I talked to the god of death.
