It felt like my word was crashing as Goddesses were chuckling. I could only keep my head buried deep in my book. If I could I would submerge into it
"Ariella. Ariella." Blake snapped at me as he shook me. Why was he yelling like something was wrong? I didn't want to but I peaked at him with one eye.
He was looking at me with a raised eyebrow and I was more confused than ever. "Did you plan on sleeping throughout the whole day?" He asked with a smirk. Sleep?
"I mean I'm all for sleeping but I definitely don't think you want to get punished on your first day." The laugh he gave me had me slowly sitting up.
I looked down at the dry book confused. I couldn't stop my hand from rubbing at my very dry face and eyes. I was sleep but I didn't feel like I was sleep. I looked over at Blake who was now standing..
A sweep of my eyes over the room had me sighing with relief. It was a dream. Everyone was gone. How I sleep without realizing it was beyond me but I didn't care. I didn't embarrass myself. I had to make sure I didn't embarrass myself like that dream.
I stood up alittle excitedly. The smile that came on my lips had me showing all my teeth. I couldn't help it. I actually had a dream that I cried in class. How mortifying.
"You seem pretty happy." Blakes smirk had me smiling even more. He wasn't mad and that meant something.
"Yes. I just had a bad dream and am happy it wasn't real." I absentmindedly explained. Definitely not the explanation that I should've gave but it was fine.
"What did you walk into class naked or something?" He joked. That had me pausing. I looked at his smile and couldn't help the small laugh that came out. It took alot not to laugh loudly.
"Do you not like your laugh or something?" His silky voice purred as he grabbed me and teleported to our next class.
I ignored his seductive voice and walked to the free seat that was in the back. I needed to get some distance between us because I definitely didn't need to actually cry in front of anyone. Plus the way he was talking was making things weird.
He looked good with his jet black hair and piercing green eyes but for some reason I felt nothing. I had read books about relationships and all, just to be prepared and I definitely knew that I felt nothing for him.
"Watsup?" A God next to me rasped. I looked over to the God with yellow hair looking at me with his piercing red eyes. Up close to him gave me a better look at all his features.
His yellow hair had white highlights that could only be seen if you were looking close enough and his red eyes sparkled like rubies whenever the light hit them. His white teeth were perfect but that was normal for Gods that weren't at the bottom.
"Do you like what you see?" I couldn't even stop the blush that hit my cheeks. His voice definitely went with his looks and all I could do was stare at his memorizing eyes. He was a God worth looking at.
Someone clearing their throat had me looking forward in my seat. Guess admiring the God next to me was cut shirt. The God that was in charge of this class was looking at me like he was trying to figure me out.
He walked towards the white board never dropping his gaze. "I see that we have a new student and I would say that it was nice to have you in my class but it seems like you are already hanging out with the wrong crowd." The buff God said not dropping his gaze from me for what felt like forever.
The animosity that was radiation off of him had me going wide eyed. I could pray that this was another dream but I knew that was wishful thinking. I looked over at the God I was talking to, to see his reaction.
He must have felt my stare because the way he slowly looked at me was anything but accidentally. He oozed confidence and seduction. Maybe he was a bad boy but I definitely didn't mind hanging out with him.
The smile and wink he gave me had me smiling huge this time. His personality was perfect and I couldn't help but think that the teacher was being biased.
"Ms. Ariella the front of the class is this way. I know you were homeschooled so I'll give you a free pass this once. Next time I won't be so lenient." The buff Gods rough voice bit at me.
My cheeks heated up to what felt like a bright red. Definitely not from anything that was not embarrassment. All attention was on me. Multiple eyes that shined with curiosity. This teacher had it out for me the moment I walked into this room.
"Thank you. Now let's get started. I know most of you know me as one of the most ruthless Gods in all realms but today I am not the God of war. Today I am just Aries." He stated as he wrote his name in neat handwriting that you would've never guessed was his. His handwriting was probably the only girly thing he was known for.
Giggles filled the room telling me that I was not the only one who thought that. I smiled alittle too because it was funny that the God of war wrote like a girl. I wonder if he did it on purpose or if it was something he had no control over.
A bang had all Goddesses and Gods going silent instantly. I guess he didn't like the laughs. Maybe he was sensitive with his girly handwriting. A few Snickers broke though causing me to try to cough to hide my laugh.
"I will not take the disrespect. I may be your teacher but I promise you I didn't help take over all forbidden realms with my girly handwriting." His hostile words had everyone being quite and the fact that he was looking at me like he wanted to kill me had me pausing.
Could he read my mind? All Gods did have powers. My father never mentioned mind reading but that didn't mean that it wasn't a thing.
Ariellas pov Aries looked at me for a second before he was looking at everyone else. His teeth grinded together the more he took everyone in. "I know you think you are being funny and that I don't know but I've been teaching for the last two years and I know what you are laughing at. And let me warn all of you if you laugh at my handwriting or even speak of it you will be crying by the end of the day." Aries snapped at everyone. I paled alittle as I watched him closely. He slowly walked to his black desk and sat down. His eyes scanned the room continuously and I swear that every time they got to me they paused for a second. Maybe it was my paranoia but it felt like he had a vendetta against me. His relaxed personality couldn't hide the beast that he truly was. I really wanted to ask the God next to me what he thought but it was like I was being intimidated to keep forward even without him saying a word. I felt trapped in my seat during the whole class period even when Aries loo
Ariellas pov "This beautiful Goddess right here is Ariella The new Goddess and I am the dick that never introduced myself. Ace is the name but the ladies love to call me Aye." Ace joked as his eyes twinkled up at me. "Nobody calls you Aye loser." The Goddess next to him who had dark blue hair laughed as she playfully hit him. The way he looked at her with hooded eyes told me that he was definitely a player. It was fine. I was definitely not looking for anyone to date. "I'm sorry I'm so rude. My name's Rosie." The dark blue haired Goddess with the yellow eyes smiled. Rosie and Ace. That was easy. "Ariella but he already told you that." I softly spoke. The way she made her brows jump had me confused and the smile that came with it was even more confusing. "Well I'm Derek and this here is jazzie." The God with regular brown hair said as he messed up the blond Goddesses hair. So many names to remember. "Well as long as you don't try to talk to my boyfriend we can be friends an
Ariellas pov Relaxation hit me fast. I felt free. At some point Ace had lifted me up and had me sitting on his lap. Whatever they gave me was working wonders. "You are so beautiful." Ace whispered next to my ear. The feeling of being against his body was nice. Comforting. The tickle of his voice hitting my ear had me shivering. My sensations were all over the place. It felt like I was getting cold even with the sun heating up the garden. The warm breeze should have helped heat me up but it did the complete opposite. Every time it hit me I moved closer to Ace who didn't seem to mind. Everything around us was going so slow, so serene. I see why they inhaled that straw. A rough hand rested on my upper thigh pulling my attention to my leg. Ace was making small circles on my leg. Part of me knew I should probably move but I was too lazy and comfortable. I felt his hand go up higher but I was too relaxed to even talk. My mouth felt heavy and my body did to. "So soft." Ace whispered
Ariellas pov "But they, they inhaled the straw too." I rushed to defend myself. I couldn't get in trouble if everyone else did it to right? Alax chucked before shaking his head. "A straw you say?" He asked like what I said was the funniest thing he ever heard. "This. This is not a joke. I didn't know what it was and I won't do it again." I stuttered. The realization that I might make my dad suffer was taking away the fun of having friends and being here all together. "It doesn't matter, you did it and if you were to go to your next class like this consequences would've been severe. Drugs are forbidden on campus." I felt light headed as I realized what I had done. Drugs? I had heard of drugs but all I knew was mortals took them to get high and sometimes they made them do crazy things. Every kind had a different effect and some could be deadly. The high king actually made them illegal recently to any low rank God. "Am I going to get arrested?" I asked as I came to realize my mis
Ariellas pov My head felt like someone had punched me a million times. Nomatter how hard I tried to reel in the pain it just kept coming. A throbbing pain that was like clock work. No amount of tossing and turning did the job. "Help." I groaned. Hopefully my father would hear me. He was usually very alert and nomatter the time he would come running. Silence was all that filled my room besides an annoying clock that kept ticking. Who put a clock in my room? "Daddy." I called out, causing the throbbing to take ahold of my temple. I lifted my hand to try to massage my head but my arms felt like jelly. I couldn't even panic right because every time I sobbed or freaked out a pulsing pain shot through the side of my head. Where was he at? I couldn't call for him anymore because just the thought of the pain that talking caused had me panicking. He would be up to check on me soon. I hoped. For now I would try to fall back to sleep. Tick, tick tick was all I heard and it was driving m
Ariellas pov "Are you seriously going to ignore me all day?" Blake asked right as Aries class ended. I would say I was flattered to receive so much attention but I didn't plan on lying. Soon Blake would get over it and life would be easier. Having him around when I vowed to never talk again was stressful. Especially since this morning was boring and the first two classes were beyond pointless. I can't even use my powers so why they had me in a class that is to help strengthen ones powers is beyond me. Power awakening my foot. How dare they put me in bed with clothes on and than put me in a class that is a waste of my time. If the powers my mother died with could somehow awaken I think I would know by now. Everyone that looked at me was probably wondering the same thing I was the whole time, what's the point? Let's not get me started on the second class I had to take. Spell perfection. I don't have powers. "Let's go." Blake interrupted my train of thoughts which was getting old
Ariellas pov I really couldn't believe that he was really stooping this low. All I was doing was ignoring him and he decided that was grounds for making me eat squid. "Blake. Ariella I presume." A blond haired God said as he sat down from accross us. I took him in quietly as I stirred this nasty concoction with the spoon I was given. "Are you guys really eating squid?" The blond God asked with disgust written all over his face. Even he knew this was torture. "Well you see Ariella Is ignoring me and refused to tell me what kind of food she wanted, so I decided I would play along to her petty games too." Blake lied. Blatantly lied to be exact. It was like he was named Blake because they knew he would lie. It was fine I would eat this nasty squid and than once I started dating the yellow haired God nobody would have the right to ever boss me around or lie to me again. And if I couldn't get the yellowed haired God I would find someone better. Just wait and see. All my anger was b
Ariellas pov "You know what, who would've thought we would become bff's over tacos and squid." Alax mocked me for what seemed like the millionth time. "It's been a week. It's getting old." I groaned as I shoved another fry in my mouth. I actually regretted saying that the moment it came out my mouth. Alax was immature and petty at times. I should've known he would take pleasure in teasing me. "You two act like siblings at times." Blake absentmindedly said as he shoved a piece of pizza In his mouth. I doubt he even chewed the way he took a bite and swallowed. "You know both of you are rude." I said as I looked though my classwork for the hundredth time. I could bang my head against this book. None of these laws made any sense. "You're on the council right. You know I bet if you." I Couldn't even get my full sentence out before he was grunting his disapproval. "Nope." Blake said without giving me a chance to beg. "What's the point of being on the council if you can't use it to
