Getting What I Want

Chapter 2: The Party

I have like almost 40 reads on the first chapter. I had no idea I would get past 20. Wow Thanks guys =] So here is the 2nd Chapter. You get to know Persephone a little bit more.

~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As I descended down the stairs I tried to control my racing heart as best as I could. I had to calm down and be prepared for anything. I was going to do fine and everything was going to be okay. Soon when I was in view of everyone it became deadly quiet. I made it to the bottom of the stairs when my father came to stand next to me.

“My beautiful daughter Persephone is back where she belongs. She is finally home and now we will celebrate her return”.

I was waiting for everyone to just go back to what they were doing when I was surprised when everyone started to clap. I smiled a radiant smile and was crushed with a hug. I saw that it was Hera. Eh this bitch is just hugging for show. She shouldn’t when everyone knows her true colors and what a bitch she is. I gave her an are you out of your mind look and she just smiled but deep in her eyes I saw pure hatred. I really don’t care the feeling is mutual. My father knows she can be bitchy but he believes she is only mean when you are mean to her. The bitch is mean all the time and who the fuck knows why. I certainly don’t care or give a shit to be honest. Next to her was Aphrodite. I’m surprised she is actually here and not out clubbing. She loves to have fun and show herself off. She’s only a bitch because of Hera. I honestly don’t think she even likes Hera. Since Hera is Queen of Gods you have to be on her good side in case you need her for emergencies. Without Hera around she’s pretty cool to be around. I removed Hera’s arms from around me as soon as I could. I ignored my father’s disapproving look because as you can guess I really didn’t care.

“Persephone dear did you miss your step-mommy?” Hera said.

Ugh what the hell is wrong with her? For the love of the gods can she be less fake?

I flashed an award winning smile and replied with a “Nope” and popped the p.

Her smile faltered for a second but then she immediately put it back up. She could’ve left it like that since everyone went back to enjoying themselves.

“Well, we’ll catch up soon honey. See you sometime soon and enjoy your home coming”.

“Sure my almighty queen” I gave her a smirk and she left. Thank Gods!

Of course I wasn’t going to be left alone that easily. Then comes my dad shaking his head at me. Oh please I should be shaking my head at you how could you marry her? After shuddering I turned to him.

“Persephone please she is trying to be a good step-mom and she wants to create a bond between you two”.

Mom and I don’t even bond. We discuss plants and the earth’s vegetation. Well she mostly talks and I space out but still we do something we both love. She’s more obsessed but I still love it. My father leaves since him and I both know I could care less.

Then a young man comes up to me and smiles. He seems familiar but he truly is handsome and he looks okay. If he’s a snob someone is going to have to hold me back from knocking him out.

“Persephone you look so different now and older”. He said smiling. Does this guy ever stop smiling?

“Are you saying I look old?” I said while narrowing my eyes. I do not look old. I look freaking fine thank you very much! He doesn’t even look that good so he needs to shut up.

“ No of course not. You look wonderful. I would have never imagined you wearing black. Wow” He said while checking me out. Uh I can see you doing that and you are right in front of me. Way to be obvious genius I thought while internally rolling my eyes.
