florence thought moving to forks would give her a break from the supernatural and the unknown but being a demigod, she should've known there was no such thing as a break from anything.

florence and alister sat in the very back of the class, playing tic tac toe & hangman in one of alister's notebooks. alister mumbled about how he wanted to explore a little after school and she said that she'd go with him after they drop their stuff back at the house.
fed up with just sitting still and letting her adhd get the bet of her, florence asked if she could go to the bathroom, the teacher obliging. she quickly scurried to the bathroom to check her hair and outfit, not noticing the pair of golden eyes that belonged to a blonde girl following her every move.
once florence finished in the bathroom, she stepped out the bathroom and started hurrying back to the classroom. there was ten minutes left in class and she knew she'd hear alister's mouth for leaving him alone, even if it was for just ten minutes.
she started thinking over the day and thought about the cullens. there was definitely something off about them but she couldn't figure out what.
not realizing that a group of guys were running towards her on their way out the school, she ran straight into one of them. who had happened to be holding a red slushee.
florence gasped as she felt the red sticky substance soak the front of her black shirt with a bit getting on her skirt, the red staining some of her skin. she stared at the boy infront of her but he wasn't concerned with the slushee, he was staring at her eyes.
"y-your eyes just changed colors" he stuttered, causing florence's eyes to widen. oh fuck, of all the times this decides to happen, it happens now?
being a child of aphrodite meant being able to change her appearance. aphrodite changed her appearance according to what each person saw as the perfect embodiment of beauty, because of this, she has no set image of her mother because every time she has encountered her mother, she was always a different woman in appearance.
but since she was just 17, she didn't have complete control over her power. sometimes, at random points, her eyes would change colors or her hair would randomly get highlights or even change color fully but that was rare.
this morning, her eyes were blue. she was guessing that since she was startled, they changed. the boy was still standing there shocked so she tried to play it off.
"i don't know what you're talking about! i don't even know you, but you're not even going to apologize for this? i'm all sticky now!" she exclaimed as the bell rang, students pouring out of the classrooms.
the boy sputtered and looked down at her ruined outfit.
"o-oh crap shit, my bad-"
"yeah, your bad." florence scoffed, feeling a bit bad for being so mean but she couldn't risk being found out. it was a small town after all, word spread fast.
before the boy could say anything else, a cold hand settled on her shoulder.
"do you need help, ma'am?" a southern accent spoke and florence turned only to be greeted with jasper. florence smiled as she made eye contact with the tall male.
"i do, as a matter of fact, since a certain boy don't know how to apologize or acknowledge the damage he's done" she sneered before grabbing the blonde's hand and hurrying away as the boy was still muttering about her eyes changing color.
"there's honestly not much you can do, to be honest, it's pretty much ruined but thank you for saving me from that" she said softly, looking up at the male.
he said nothing and just took off his plain baby blue hoodie before handing it to her.
"so you don't have to walk around looking like a rogue vampire" he joked but florence picked up on his tone. it was as if he actually meant it.
shaking her head, she quickly pulled it over her head as the hallways started to fully clear out as students poured out to the parking lot where everyone usually lingered after school.
after she situated herself, she slipped off her belt from her skirt and used it to cinch her waist so that she didn't look like a shapeless blob in jasper's hoodie, which reached down to an inch above her knee.
the southern boy chuckled as he watched her fuss over her appearance. florence looked up at the sound before pouting a bit.
"as fun as this was, i need to get to my brother's truck before dumb, dumber and dumbest think i got snatched or something. thank you for the hoodie, i really appreciate it! i'll bring it back nice and clean, promise!" florence hurried before standing on her tiptoes and planting a quick kiss on the boy's cheek before scurrying off to the parking lot, leaving him there to process what had just happened.
as cute as she was, he stopped for a minute.
he could've sworn that her bright, emerald green eyes were a deep, ocean blue this morning.
