Athena The Goddess Of War and Wisdom

"Athen? Hello? Tina? Are you awake?" Someone behind the door asked.

Gods, I hate Mondays. "Yeah. I'm awake." I said.

Jewels opened the door and look through my closet. "Nah. Nope. Kinda. Too simple. Too flashy. Too showy. Okay. Nice. Eww. Perfect!" She said and showed me a dress that's cute and simple with matching necklace and heels.

I look at her, horrified at her choice of clothing. "Nah. I ain't wearing that! Never! That's too... girlish? It fits you better!" I tried convincing her.

She giggled. "Yes. You're wearing this. Now, hurry up before I use some spells on you!" She threatened.

I rolled my eyes. "Puh-lease—!" Before I could finish my comment, she started casting spells on me.

Oh no. "Told yah'. You should have listened when you had the chance." She said with a laugh.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I mumbled. "Fine. I'll wear the stupid dress. You can do my hair and makeup." I sarcastically said and giggled. Gods, I make myself wanna vomit. Ugh.

She grinned and clapped. "Faster, honey. You don't wanna be late for school, do you?"

After taking a bath, she forcefully grabbed me and forced me to sit at my vanity. "You're gonna looks so pretty after I'm done with you!" She squealed.

"Yay." I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.

An hour have passed and Jewels is done with my makeup. Finally. I looked at myself and saw the same girl from my dream. I froze in place. The girl, smirked and pounded at the glass. Trying to escape. She was screaming profanities and cursing at me— "ATHENA!" Jewels said waking me up from my trance.

I blinked and look at my reflection, it was normal. "What?" I asked her.

She sighed. "What did you see?" She asked.

I laughed, trying to shake away any suspicion that she has. "Nothing!" I told her and went downstairs and took my car keys.

When we arrive at school, I saw Frey walking over to me. "We've got to talk."

I looked at Jewels, "Please?" I asked.

She sighed. "Go ahead."

I grinned and hug her. "I'll catch up with you later, Jewels!"

Frey dragged me to the water fountain in the middle of the school. A place where no one usually go to. "T-t-tin, I h-have something to tell you." She said with a shaky voice and trembling hands.

I hugged her, trying to calm her down. "Shhh. It's okay, Frey. It's okay. Calm down. I'm here." I said and patted her back to calm her down.

She finally calmed down and smiled at me. "James... said... he likes me." She told me.

Oh my gods. She was scared. It was her first confession after all. "Tell me everything."

She smiled. "Soooo... are we gonna skip class to talk?"

I grinned. "Definitely. A bonus is that I can also lose my title." I said and shrugged.

She laughed. "Remember the time when we were talking and then Mr. Smirk-a-lot called me?"

I laughed at the memory. "The time when you were blushing and as red as a tomato."

She laughed. "Yes. That time. Well... we were actually kinda going on dates. I mean, I thought we weren't serious but he was serious about me," she told me with a smile, "anyways, yesterday he told me he actually likes me. Like, seriously like me."

I smiled at her. "So... do you feel the same? I mean, I think you do because you've always told me how much you like him."

She smiled. "Of course I do. I just don't know how to tell him."

I chuckled. "You are hopeless. I'll do it for you. I'll arrange a meet up later. Where do you want to meet him?"

She looked dumbfounded. "What?"

I rolled my eyes. "I'll arrange a fake meeting and then you can surprise him like accidentally going to the same place as him."

She smiled at me. "You are such a good friend! I love you so so much!" She told me with the biggest smile on her face while hugging me.

"What are friends for, right?" I smiled back and started planning.

She laughed. "Nice dress." She smirked.

I gasped. "I hate it. My hair is curled and half of it is tied with a ribbon!"

Hours have passed and now I'm inside a coffee shop near school with James thinking that I have some important documents that he needs to take care of. "So... what do you want me to do? Give it to someone?" He asked.

I chuckled and texted Frey. She'll be here in 3... 2... and she's here! She looked around and went to the counter ordering her coffee. When she got her order, she smiled as she looked at me. "What are you doing here?" James and I asked. Me obviously being fake.

She laughed. "I needed some caffeine and then I saw Athena. I have something to tell you, James. I decided that I'll tell you now since you're with her."

I stood up and told them, "Uh... well, you both talk and I'll," I looked at Frey and winked at her, "just ask someone else. Bye Frey, bye James." I said and left them both.

Frey Daughter of Poseidon

I watched Athena walk away and when she reached the door, she looked at me and winked again. "What do you wanna talk about, Frey?" He asked trying to sound cool but it was obvious that he was embarrassed.

I chuckled. "Don't worry. I'm not gonna kill you. I'm here to reply to you." I told him and gulped. I saw him gulped too.

He did and awkward laugh, "I won't pressure you." He told me.

I smiled. "I... like you. Even before we started dating. When we dated, I didn't take it seriously because I thought that you were just playing with me," I looked at him and smiled, "I still dated you but I prepared myself for the 'I'm only playing you' confession. I like you, a lot. I don't want to let you go, so please, stay with me." I told him and looked him in the eye.

I saw him sigh with relief and smiled so big and bright that it was contagious. I smiled back at him. "Does that mean, we're boyfriend and girlfriend for real?" He asked.

I giggled. "Yes, boyfie."

Athena The Goddess of War and Wisdom

I'm such a cupid. I was caught by surprise when my phone suddenly vibrated. I looked at the caller and saw it was just Frey. "Thank you so much,  Tintin! Thank you!" She told me.

I laughed and hang up. I texted her, 'You're welcome!'
