Troubled Olympians

Never ending affairs

"Is it true?" Artemis asked in a hushed tone. He couldn't lie, not to Artemis. Here she was demanding for the truth, hoping that Aphrodite was lying. But Apollo knew better. Aphrodite was telling the truth and was enjoying the pain on Artemis's face.

"Yes" Apollo answered quietly. There was a long pause. One minute, two minutes of nothing but complete utter silence. Aphrodite was smirking, Thalia and Hera looked shocked and weren't sure how to react. Then there was Artemis. Apollo couldn't even tell how she felt. She looked angry, pained, and heartbroken all at once.

"I don't even know what to do at this point." Artemis choked out. "First Orion, now this!"

"Orion?" Thalia asked, confused.

"Yeah, some guy I met a few years back. Drew also ruined that!" Artemis explained quickly.

"Look I just didn't want you to get hurt." Apollo tried explaining.

"So you did this? And with Scarlette, of all people!" Artemis cried.

"What's going on here?" Zeus asked as he entered the room.

"Apollo is a backstabbing, lying, BASTARD!" Artemis snapped angrily. "I am so done with this entire family!"

Artemis pushed Hera and Thalia out of her way and ran out of the condo, to nobody knows where.

"Luna!" Apollo called desperately at her sister, but it was too late. She was already gone.

"You helped Scarlette? And Scarlette, why would you do something so cruel?" Thalia finally managed to ask.

"She was getting in the way of a perfectly good relationship!" Aphrodite complained for the millionth time.

"Which is...?" Thalia asked

"YOU AND NICO!" Aphrodite squealed excitedly.

"Okay, well couldn't you just have- Wait what?" Thalia stopped in mid sentence.

"Oh, you guys would be the cutest couple! I ship it so hard!" Aphrodite giggled. Hera and Zeus buried their faces into their hands.

"Um, no. Sorry, but not gonna happen." Thalia said.

"Oh why NOT?!" Aphrodite wailed.

"Because he hates me." Thalia answered.

"But do you hate him?" Aphrodite asked, inching forward.

"Oh, um..." Thalia turned into a deep color of crimson. "Yeah, yeah I do, he's so annoying." Thalia lied.

"Let's just get going to school, hopefully Luna will be there." Zeus said, and the Olympians plus Thalia agreed

-Troubled Olympians-

Artemis was actually not at the school, which made Apollo worry even more and made Athena give her brother a smack behind his head. Thalia however stayed with the Olympians, avoiding her friends. They weren't freaking out over the whole self-harm thing, unlike Annabeth, who left her about 70 messages and 56 missed calls. All Thalia wanted to was forget about the pain and all off her problems. For a little while anyways. However Thalia couldn't avoid her friends forever. They had gym right before lunch, and they were currently doing Thalia's least favourite unit. Dance. This class, was partner dancing, which meant the girls had to dance with the boys.

Apollo got paired up with Aphrodite, much to his distaste. Zeus and Hera were paired up. Posiedon and Athena were partners, despite Athena's groans and complaints. Hades was paired up with Demeter, and Ares was paired up with some random mortal girl named Clary.
