HERA'S POV
He just sat there, just sat there smiling at me stupidly I knew he was doing this to get to me, and it worked. I looked forward and felt his eyes on me as I plotted revenge. I suddenly heard my teacher call my name
"So the answer would be... Hera?"
Everyone looked at me and I tried my best to remember suddenly I heard a whisper behind me, it was Poseidon.
"Apollo"
"Uh Apollo" I said nervously
There was a short pause and then the teacher said
"Smart girl, of course it was Apollo now that was before...."
The teacher kept speaking and I starting thinking, until he interrupted my thoughts once again.
"Find a partner for your project and write a list of what you will need and I will offer it tomorrow"
A partner? When did he mention projects? I got up and looked behind myself looking for a decent partner and saw Poseidon walking towards me, then I felt my arm being grabbed forcefully.
"Get another partner, this ones mine" I heard Zeus say
"No I think I'm with Poseidon" I said pulling my arm away.
The teacher walked towards us
"Would you three mind being together I think that I miscounted"
Agh I couldn't believe it, this was horrible and what was I supposed to tell my mom! The rest of the day at school was not so bad because no one I knew was in my class. At lunch I sat with my new best friend, the bathroom stall and I was feeling quite lonely. While walking home with Poseidon I felt a tall presence behind me.
"Am I invisible?" Said Zeus
"I wish you were" said Poseidon and I gained some respect for him that day.
I introduced them to my mother and she seemed to be smiling a lot, she pulled me to the side and whispered to me quite loudly
"There are handsome boys in this house are one of them your boyfriend?!!"
"MOM! They're here for a project!"
"Boys would you like something to drink?"
"Well I would like so-" Zeus was cut off as I elbowed him
"No thank you" said Poseidon politely
There was no time for snacks we had to start a stupid project on gods that should inspire us to become "Heroic".
"Where's your bathroom?" Asked Zeus in a cute way which made me suspicious. I rolled my eyes and told him
"Your first right in the hallway"
"So where's your dad?" Asked Poseidon as Zeus walked out of the room.
"He left for a mission and never came back, I wasn't this depressing before"
"Oh" was all that came out of Poseidon's mouth and I couldn't blame him, I knew that if I was him I wouldn't have a response either. After a long moment of silence he responded
"My father tried to kill me"
I laughed awkwardly, and I saw him laughing loudly I think that was him saying that I didn't have to feel bad for him
"Well I guess you win this one"
He told me his story and it was quite funny. While finishing the project, me and Poseidon went back and forth about bad experiences seeing which one was worse and I realized that my laughs around him were genuine and I felt more comfortable with him than anyone else and all those emotions that I kept locked inside finally came out. I never knew this was so easy, and I never noticed that Zeus was gone the whole time. It was about 11:00 pm when Zeus came inside and said
"I have to go"
I looked at him in a happy mood and said
"What took you so long?"
He ignored me, and Poseidon said
"I should get going as well, bye Hera it was a pleasure speaking to you"
I smiled widely and said
"I wish I could say the same thing" we both broke into laughter and I looked around and saw that Zeus disappeared.
"What went up his ass?"
Poseidon laughed and shrugged and we said goodbye I closed the door and sat on my bed thinking of how I made a new friend. Zeus was finally out of my thoughts and I was looking forward to seeing Poseidon tomorrow
