Part 2
✿ Jupiter Mei ✿
“Aren’t you asking for the wrong goddess?”
I was alarmed at the sound of the voice and turned to see who it is.
It’s a lady, wearing the most beautiful green dress in the forest, her eyes seems to change color and her lips going from red to pink and to…green.
“Demeter?”
The Lady creased her elbow in denial.
“Demeter?! She’s not this pretty! Only one goddess can be this beautiful!” She said and admired her reflection on the classroom window.
She looked at me with those multi-color eyes.
“Aphrodite?” I asked
She showed a perfect smile and made a twirl on her long dress.
“Exactly my dear, Exactly”
Then she added “On cases like these, you don’t ask for Demeter, you should ask for me!! the goddess of Love!” She raised her hands in the air as if waiting for special effects to come out. Then after 2 seconds she regained her composure and added “Demeter won’t answer your prayers wood nymph Jupiter. She thinks love is useless. ”
She fumbled on my tree’s Flower and made them into a crown.
“But me? When there is a love story, I’m your goddess”
She said and placed the flower crown on her head.
She turned to me and smiled, “I never thought a wood nymph would love a human, your story has caught my attention Jupiter”
She took a fruit from my tree and placed it on my palms.
“When you’re ready, eat this, and remember, my magic only lasts for 3 days”
Then she disappeared into a whirlwind of flowers and… Are those cosmetics?
…
I’m left alone to ponder on what Aphrodite said
Am I supposed to trust Aphrodite?
I hear she plays around with people’s love story for fun. Like a game of chess----you know, play around with them then when it gets boring dispose of it.
Then again, what choice do I have?
My creator, Lady Demeter won’t answer my prayers! Which is a bit weird, since lady Demeter has never fail to grant our wishes.
I stared at the fruit on my lap. "My only hope of seeing Cameron lies on this fruit."
It’s a weird shape, a pinkish green fruit.
I don’t bear fruit! Where did this fruit came from I wonder.
“Never mind” I shook my head and shouted “LOVE CONQUERS ALL” then took a bite from the luscious-slash-unknown fruit.

♞ Cameron Levy ♞
I played my piano silently, gently letting my fingers dance on the black and white surface.
A voice behind me asked “Cameron?”
A sweet but gentle voice, who could have called? Her voice is new to me. “Hmm... ?” I answered
I turned and saw a girl, with brown hair and green eyes. With skin as white as snow…
Skin…
Heck! What is with this girl?!
She’s wearing… wearing… wearing nothing.
Nothing but a huge-gigantic leaf
“Cameron? You're Cameron right?!” Her eyes speaks with great delight. As if experiencing bliss for the first time.
Woah. Why does she know my name? Could she be a stalker? Or a killer? there's a lot of those these days.
As she ran towards my direction I hollered. “Don’t come near!” banging the piano so loud that it frightened her.
She squeaked and ran even faster.
I managed to maneuver around her and ran out of the classroom, desperate to excape from this unknow intruder.
“Hey! Cameron!”
“Seth?”
“What’s up? You look like you’ve seen a ghost!”
“Really?” I asked “That girl must be a ghost then.”
“Huh?” Seth asked perplexed.
I shook my head “Nothing, come on Seth! We’ll be late for our next class”
