Athena In Gold

~ ~ ~

Even though most of the students at Astor are making my life miserable-

"Achoo Nicholas Achoo" Azula cuts in.

-I still couldn't just miss out on my classes.

Any other prestige institution would throw away my application form. Most likely they'll want to save their reputation, they wouldn't want an eighteen year old as a junior. Students my age would usually be seniors but my family couldn't pay for my enrolment in time. The money was going to my younger siblings school payments.

"You're not eighteen yet Athena." Azula reminds me.

Soon to be eighteen then, my birthday would arrive in a couple of months. Just around the end of the year.

I had months to stress about everything that was coming for me after I reach of age. For now I would focus on where my currrent stress was stemming from.

School.

I may or may not be consequently late for school since I decided to help a blind human find her way to the local bakery. Despite not knowing the directions myself. But on the bright side, she bought me an eclair.

I ran all the way to school. By the time I got there, I was sweating and out of breath whilst also trying to eat my heavenly made pastry. I rush through the empty hallways trying to find my first class. I don't actually know where it is but I did know that I had science lab at the moment.

There were eight different classrooms in the science hall. Testing my luck, I rushed into the closest one.

The whole class looks at me. Including the teacher.

Of course it just had to be the seniors class.

And to add to my misfortune, the three princes were here.

Altheo, Thomas and Nicholas were seated in the middle desk. There were like 5 other seats available at the table.

The other tables looked almost packed.

"Athena?" Altheo says, the other two also looking at me, confused but entertained.

I realized I've been staring for too long.

"Oh..uhm sorry wrong class" I say slowly backing away.

"Dear child you're already thirty minutes late, you might aswell stay in this class." I look to the teacher, not sure if he was being serious.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes, I can tell you're new. I'll send a note to your teacher saying I had borrowed you." He says gesturing me to sit down.

Slowly, I walk to the closest table on the left, there was one free seat left. But before I could even pull the chair back, I'm being redirected with a hand at my waist.

The Italian Prince's hand.

Altheo pulls out a chair and gently pushes me to sit down. Thomas on my right, Altheo sitting to my left and Nicholas giving me a disgusted look before looking to the front.

"Right so back to finding the equilibrium constant."

I attempt to stand up and leave but Thomas and Altheos hand push down on my shoulders as they continue to pay attention to the front.

"I hate physics." I mutter.

"This is chemistry Athena." Altheo whispers.

Suddenly an itch appeared in the back of my head.
