Aphrodite

            ''It seemed as if her beauty was fire , causing hearts to burn with a fierce passion'' 

Prologue 

Soft footsteps hit the silky sand as the owner chased the small beach ball which was now heading towards the foaming ocean. Her coiling hair flowing delicately as a smile began to stretch across her lips. 

'' It's so beautiful'' Her innocent voiced exclaimed as she stood still and gazed upon the sunset.

It seemed to captivate her, the way that the crimson colour would gently merge into the now fading sky blue. 

Suddenly footsteps interrupted her thoughts causing her to swiftly turn around. A little boy with green eyes peered at her then slowly stretched out his hand towards her , as if it was a sign;asking her to accompany him and so she did. 

It became a norm , the two of them playing side by side as the years seemed to fly by . She told him her secrets and he unkowningly fell in love with her and all her special quirks. 

Suddenly tradegy struck and what seemed to be a century's old curse began to plague her.  The love spell,that's what they called it. All because of her ancestor's vanity. Her hazel brown eyes began to draw boys in,eventually leading to their distruction and the curse fed off the power,making her even more beautiful and her eyes fearfully captivating . In the end her only hope being the the darkness that sunshades and hoodies provided. It kept her socializing limited and her only source of comfort being her father who was nearly never present and an old cafe which seemed to calm her overthinking brain.

She was the modern day Aphrodite and surely she was connected to the Greek goddess as she had been named Cythera but her beauty was much to classic for the now shallow human world and forced her into hiding,while casting the one she would grow to love out of her life. 

Soon , she began to forget him while an empty void began to fill the place in which he use to be. It was sad how she had forgotten Aren , well until they decided to haul her into the chaotic public highschool life.

 Present tense

A toned body laid sprawled out on the foamy white bed spread which happened to clash perfectly together with the light emerald green of the bedroom walls. 

Cythera had laid in the same spot for hours not even shifting slightly apart from the fall and rise of her pajama clad chest.  Yet her sleep was to be disturbed as the golden rays of sunlight slowly trickled into the dark room prompting the tiny vintage alarm clock on her dressing table to begin ringing uncontrollably. 

Groaning,her hands slowly rubbed against her still sleep filled eyes while muttering a few distasteful words about the constant early morning rising. Like all teenagers the evident distaste for the being disturbed from sleep was present in her mind set but it never took her less than ten minutes to be buzzing away with life. 

After a few minutes of cleansing away whatever impurities which had stuck to her skin overnight the duey girl ended up tucking the small stands of fly away hairs into her hooded sweatshirt and propping her black lensed glasses onto her nose and soon proceeded down towards the kitchen. 

'' Goodmorning'' her cheery voiced filled the kitchen which by now was twirling which life. 

'' Goodmorning , Miss Blakes , your father is not able to make it to breakfast but sends his love'' A deliciously plump red head answered back as she gave Cythera what could almost be discribed as a motherly smile. 

'' Aw , well I guess I'll be off Junie'' She sighed,sadness rimmed her voice but she quickly shook it away since it was one of the many perks of being the child of a single parent. 

It had always been this way and it would remain so , frowning she made her way towards the bus stop . Growing up in a wealthy family you would have expected Cythera to be the proud owner of three different type of vechiles but it was not so , wether it be by her own will or her never present over protective father she was forced to embark the rambling bus that arrived at the stop exactly on the dot .

'' Miss Thera'' The silghtly greying at his temples bus driver smiled as she walked down the presently clean isle , examining which sit would best suit her on this humid morning. 

'' Morning Jimmy'' She laughed and trotted towards the sit she had claimed as hers. Jimmy just smiled back at her,she was what he would call a fixture on that particular route,for 12 years she had arrived punctually at the stop,clad in a get up which left no face to her buttery voice and would get off at  small cafe so when she stopped at the highschool it left traces of shock evident on his ging features.

'' Goodbye Jimmy'' she called out as her lips formed a warming smile. 

'' Have a Good day Miss Thera'' He replied , shaking his head at the quite queer girl.

Taking in big breaths she began matching up the winding path towards the school's gate,stopping only once to convince herself everything would be simply perfect. The worry began to slip away with each light step she took and by the time she had arrived confidence had accompanied her shivering body. 

Pushing the black school gates she slipped in and gazed scrutinizing at each crack and peal of paint in the school's famous building, her lips slowly pulled into a straightline as she began walking towards the front doors. She had drilled it into her mind,she was not here for friends or anything apart from school work and getting out without harming any human being. Yet fate was a tricky old hag and Cythera may have plotted out how she wanted her life to be but in the end everything came down to fate . 

She had spent time reading everything magazine's had to offer about highschool and being the new girl but nothing written down on the thin sheets of paper had been true,well for her that was. It was as if she had secretly merged in with the lifeless students,each holding a jumbo sized coffee in their hands. 

Suddenly her books went soaring as she hit the ground,pain seering through her head. From the impact her hood had been knocked back revealing the ebony coloured hair which coiled delicately around her head. Quickly she pulled it back over and struggled as she fought to stand,only to be greeted by a pale hand . Gently she let the now anonymous person pull her up.

'' Thank you '' she muttered as she quickly scooped up her books

'' No problem, you new?'' A masculine voice filled her ears, it was smoothe and soothing she thought.

'' Yeah , first day'' she smiled letting her cheery personality seep through once again.

'' Ah , Well my name's Aren'' He replied knowingly.

'' Aren, I'm Cythera'' she rolled his quite special name around as she extended her hand towards him as a greeting,then watched him wave and walk away.

The name was familiar , she knew it and her concious certainly did to , suddenly the memory began to clear up,as the fog rised she began to remember.

Aren Davies.

Her bestfriend.

It began to settle in and suddenly the newbie took off running in the exact direction he had stridded off .
