24 | you lost your thunder

Athena sat in the almost empty class, the only other people inside were Peter, Liz, Betty, MJ and two other students she had yet to learn the names of.

It was awkward, so Athena tried her best to make small talk with Peter.

"Hey, Theodora" Liz said, causing the girl to turn around and glare at the girl.

"Don't get into a fight, don't get into a fight, don't get into a fight." She whispered to herself as she turned around to face Liz. "Yes, Elisabeth?"

"How long is it gonna take for you to stop flirting with Peter and realise he's not interested?" Liz said, earning a chuckle from her friends beside her.

Athena turned back around and took in a sharp breath as Peter grabbed her hand. "It's not worth it."

"You've lost your thunder" Liz spoke "shame. I used to find you amusing."

Athena pushed herself up from her seat and walked around to Liz's table, grabbing her collar, pulling her up and pinning her against the wall. "Do you want me to show you amusing?" The fear on Liz's face was enough for Athena to smirk in victory. She let go of Liz's collar and stepped back "that's what I thought."

All of a sudden, the senior brought her hand up and slapped the blonde girl in the face. "Don't touch me."

Everyone in the room gasped as Peter looked at Athena worriedly, knowing she could do a lot worse than a petty slap.

"You fucking bitch" Athena breathed out before pushing Liz back into the wall and punching her cheek hard. Liz got back up, ignoring the igniting pain in her cheek before wacking Athena over the head.

Athena smirked, bringing her head back up as she licked her lips. She grabbed Liz's shoulder and walked backwards, bringing Liz with her before kneeing the girl's stomach and then slamming her into a table.

Liz groaned loudly before getting up and attempting to hit Athena multiple times, all which she ducked. Liz ran towards her with a clenched fist but Athena simply stepped out of the way, causing Liz to slam into the wall.

"Do you give up yet?" Athena chuckled, watching Liz cradle her bleeding nose in pain. "Or are you gonna lose to me again?"

"Thea, Stop—" Peter began to say but Liz got back up from the ground and swung for the girl's head. Athena ducked it and kicked her chest lightly, causing Liz to fall to the ground once again.

"You're practically beating yourself up at this point." She smirked, watching Liz wipe away the blood.

"You're a fucking bitch."

"Theodora Princeton?" The teacher said, causing Athena to look up from her school work and see the principle standing in the doorway.

"I need you to come with me." The principle stated, earning 'ooh's from the entire class.

Athena turned back to look at Peter who had worried eyes, he simply nodded his head. She sighed and got up from her seat, packing all of her books away before following the principle out of the classroom.

It was a quiet, short walk to the office. He opened the door for the girl to walk in and followed her inside. They took seats at the chairs opposite each other.

The principle gripped his hands together and stared into the girl's eyes, making the blonde feel intimidated.

"Did you punch Liz Allen?" He questioned, causing Athena to look up.

"What?" She asked innocently.

"Did you punch Elizabeth Allen?" He repeated. "I need to know the truth. Miss Allen came into the office today claiming that you hit her, she even had the bruise to prove it, so tell me, did you punch Liz Allen?"

"Yes, i did." Athena admitted causing him to sigh and lean back into his chair.

"Why? You know violence is against school rules."

"Because she hit me first." The girl said with a shrug and a small smirk.

"She what?"

"Oh, did she leave that part out?" Athena raised her eyebrow in curiosity. "Yeah, well, she slapped me in the face so I hit her back."

He looked the girl dead in the eye to see if he could find an ounce of a lie but he didn't, all he saw was purity. "Self defence isn't against school rules."

"No" she smirked "no, it isn't."

He sighed "this isn't over, but for now, you're free to do."

"Thank you" she said, grabbing her bag and walking out of the office.
