~The Beginning of Life~

~ KHRISTINE ~ Chapter 35 ; Iris ~

KHRISTINE'S POV

This quiz thing would be fun if there were more stuff to be tested on. Like maybe level of fire resistance, or how long it takes for you to drown. Like- why not?

I'm called next.
I ace the arrows.
Nail the daggers.
Get every target while blind folded.

Will asks me to make something with an arrow. I simply break it in half.
"There. I made it broken."

Everyone laughs while Will shakes his head.

"And I'm an okay swimmer, I love heights, and I don't think I'm claustrophobic but I don't like low places..."

Will nods and thinks for a while. "Probably Aphrodite, Zeus, Hermes, or Apollo."
He moves on to Arthur.
Well, vague much?
Arthur's results are Ares, Hades, or Hestia.

"Alright, I guess that's all for now, I need to be somewhere." Will smiles and runs off.
Finally, we're done.

I promptly sit down on the floor and Walton sits next to me.
"That was kinda boring."

I nod.

"So, out of your choices, who do you think would be your parent?" He asks conversationally.

"Well, I don't think those choices are pretty accurate, but maybe Zeus. At least I'd be able to fly that way."

"That would be fun. I'd prefer Poseidon. Never be scared of drowning."

"And the fishies. You can talk to them."

Walton smiles. "I wonder what they know."

"Gills 101?"

"What's that?"

"I dunno ask the fishies."

Walton rolls his eyes.

"Hey, I have an idea! I'm gonna try to fly." I abruptly get up and determinedly leave the arena.

Walton quickly catches up. "Hey! Wait up!"
He walks alongside me.
"How are you gonna do that?"

I shrug and continue walking. Suddenly, someone knocks Walton down and they both fall.
Walton sits back up, and I see that the person next to him is Turner.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't see where I was running," he says and helps Walton up.

"It's okay..." Walton says uncertainly.

Turner grins and goes right to talking. "So what were you doing in the arena?"

"Will was doing some kind of quiz to guess our godly parents," I reply.

"What'd you get?"

"Hermes, Apollo, Zeus, and Aphrodite."

Turner stares at me. "I can see why," he says smirking.

"See what how?" I frown.

Turner just shakes his head when suddenly Emily runs over.
"Where are you going?" She asks us breathlessly.

"Nowhere, for now," I answer.

She notices Turner and blinks, stupefied. "Hi. I'm Emily," she says, as if in a trance.

Turner smiles kindly. "I'm Turner." It's as if he's used to this kind of reaction.

Emily continues staring.

Turner swallows. "Just gonna say this, but, I'm gay, sorry," he says bluntly.

Emily snaps out of it. "Oh. What? Okay, so? Of course you're gay. It doesn't matter," she says nervously.
She definitely liked Turner for a second there.
SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HIM YET SHE ALREADY GOT AN EYE ON HIM!

"What doesn't matter?" Turner asks hesitantly.

"That- never mind." Emily walks away.

I raise an eyebrow at Turner. "Are you really?"

Turner nods.

"No wonder."

"What? Why?"

"There's this thing; the cuter the gayer, and so far it's turned out true whenever I thought it would be."

"Ah. Did you think I was gay when you met me?"

"Don't remember. But I guess I didn't care."

Turner nods and then looks at Walton. "What about you?"

Walton had been silently listening to the conversation. "Me what? Think you're gay? No."

Turner winks playfully. "You probably want me to be."

Walton's eyes widen.

"Are you gay?" Turner asks.

"No!" Walton says quickly, slightly blushing.

Turner and I burst out laughing.

"I love teasing people like this," Turner says.

"The reactions are hilarious," I agree.

Suddenly, Turner starts glowing pink.
"I think you're getting claimed..." Walton says.

"Aphrodite," Turner grins.

"I'd have thought Iris," I say.

"Not all Iris kids are gay. Who'd they all date?"

"The small percentage of gay Turners who aren't related to them. But still, rainbow~" I smirk.
