One In a Million

Prologue

      It was a beautiful autumn morning, the air was misty. 7-year-old Athena was walking into school with her twin sister Aphrodite. The twin's parents were quite fascinated by Greek god's and goddesses, hence the names. Athena's long black hair swaying back and forth, meanwhile, Aphrodite had her bright orange hair up in a high ponytail ending just below her shoulders. They walked into the school already filled with thoughts on how the day would go, consumed by excitements and anxieties.

     "Arnt you excited!?" Aphrodite exclaimed, her ponytail bouncing with each and every word, her voice being high pitched compared to her sisters.

     "I think so!" Athena said louder than she hoped.

     Aphrodite giggled "Good!"

     They sat down in their seats right next to each other, Athena spotted Ian and glared at him.

     "Thena! Stop glaring! it is rude, were saviors remember?" Aphrodite said almost yelling.

     "Right, Right," Athena said in a dejected tone.

     They sat through class, bored out of their minds, counting the moments until class is done. Aphrodite though bored she was still paying close attention to what the teacher was saying. Athena, on the other hand, was drawing all over her paper. She was hunched over the desk, her dark hair like a curtain in front of her face.

     A few hours had gone by, Athena was starting to turn her paper over to the other side when the bell rang, signaling recess. Aphrodite got up and patiently waited for Athena. Once she had gotten up the two of them walked outside and up to the playground.

     "Beat you to the swings!" Athena yelled sprinting with a devilish grin quietly laughing manically. Aphrodite ran slowly after her raven-haired sister. Athena had always been more athletic than her sister, though she showed no interest in sports.

     "Your no fair!" Aphrodite said after finally arriving, heaving heavily being out of breath.

     "Not my problem," Athena said with a smug look on her face, her jet black hair briskly falling into her face.

     "What's with that look rouge?" Ian said walking up to the pair.

     "H-huh?" Athena said in pure shock.

      "I said what's with that look rouge" Ian repeated harshly. Athena ran off crying and hid in some bushes behind the school.

    "Was he telling the truth?" Athena said choking on tears.

    Athena stayed put for a long while. The school day was probably over by now. Athena had no desire to leave her spot but that probably wasn't the wisest decision.

     "I should go home now..." Athena said with an edge of sadness In her voice. She started walking home, the wind blowing her raven hair out of her face that was stuck to her face with tears moments ago. "Just a street away..." She said quietly to herself. Athena opened the door to her house Immediately being engulfed into a hug by Aphrodite.

    "I'm so sorry I didn't do anything about Ian!" Aphrodite said, her ginger hair in a huge poof from taking out her ponytail.

     "It is fine, he is really scary!" Athena exclaimed. The two girls heard a sharp inhale and whipped their heads around towards the noise.

     "Oh! Sweetheart your finally home! I was so worried!" The twins' mother exclaimed, her hair was like Phoenix's just a bit lighter starting to go white.

     "Sorry... Some idiot-" Athena got caught off.

     "Language!" Their mom yelled.

     "Sorry mother, " Athrna apologized, "some person called me a rouge..." Athena said her voice filled with sorrow.

     "The nerve! Just ignore him sweetie and everything will be just fine!" Their mom said cheerily. Their mom had always been very optimistic, she found it hard to believe that anyone had a single bad bone in their body.
