A few of the bolder godboys continued to gaze at her, however. Their adoration was plain to see. Ignoring them, Aphrodite reached into her bag and took out her Hero-ology textscroll. As the goddessgirl of love and beauty, she'd grown used to such admiration. Took it for granted in fact. All her life, godboys had found her enchantingly beautiful. It seemed they had only to look at her to fall hopelessly in love. That wasn't her fault, of course. It was just the way things were.
Her head writhed with hissing green snakes instead of hair. Their tongues flicked in and out as she poked Aphrodite with one of her long green fingernails. "You were almost late," she sneered. "Troubles, Bubbles?" Medusa and her horrible sisters, Stheno and Euryale, never missed an opportunity to use the awful nickname to make fun of Aphrodite's sea foam origins.
Aphrodite wondered what they'd be discussing today. Yesterday their teacher had asked how much and what kind of help they thought gods should give to mortals they favored. Aphrodite, who enjoyed helping mortals in love, had hoped to talk about that, but the godboys in class had immediately steered the discussion toward weapons and war--topics that could never hold her interest for long.
Dropping her red feather pen in surprise, Aphrodite sat up straighter. Now this was an engaging question! She'd like to see the godboys try to make this into a discussion about weapons and war, she thought as she raised her hand high.
"Yes, Aphrodite?" asked Mr. Cyclops.
"I wouldn't want to see any young maiden go unwed," she said. "Everyone should have a chance to fall in love."
"But what if the maiden would rather be alone?"
Aphrodite smiled at her. Poor Athena. She'd never really had a boyfriend. Just wait until she experienced her first crush. She'd think differently then. "If the maiden feels that way, then perhaps it's only because she hasn't yet found the right youth," Aphrodite said kindly.
"But not all youths marry," Athena pointed out. "So why should all maidens?"
Poseidon thrust his trident into the air. As always, water dripped from it and him to puddle beneath his chair. "That's because many youths prefer the life of a soldier," he declared.
"That's right!" exclaimed another godboy. "War trumps marriage any day."
Mr. Cyclops beamed at her. "Good point."
Just then the school intercom crackled to life. "Attention, godboys and goddessgirls!" thundered Principal Zeus in a deafeningly loud voice. Everyone, including Mr. Cyclops, automatically reached up to cover their ears. "A special assembly on chariot safety starts in ten minutes. Please make your way to the auditorium."
Looking somewhat annoyed, Mr. Cyclops muttered something about unwarranted interruptions to class time. But then, with a sigh, he said, "All right, everyone. Please line up at the door."
Normally, Aphrodite would have welcomed a chance to get out of class, but not today. Not when
After the assembly, which Zeus had livened up with a real demonstration of racing chariots for a change, it was time for lunch. Aphrodite was starved. As she stood in the cafeteria line with Athena and their other two best friends, dark-haired Artemis and pale-skinned Persephone, her stomach began to rumble like a volcano about to erupt.
Her friends laughed. " Somebody's hungry," said Artemis.
Aphrodite blushed. "Yes, very." She didn't say it
"You can have my spot, Aphrodite!" yelled Poseidon from ten spaces up the line.
He took a step toward her, dripping water onto another godboy's sandal-clad feet. Ares, who was the cutest godboy in school in Aphrodite's opinion, glowered at him. "Watch where you're dripping, Fishface!" Droplets of water flew as he shook one foot and then the other. Poseidon glowered back, his mouth opening and closing like a fish's.
Ignoring him, Ares turned toward Aphrodite. "Take my place," he said with a charming smile. "I insist."
Aphrodite hesitated. Ares could be a bit of a bully
Athena grabbed Aphrodite's elbow. "Surely you're not going to take him up on that," she said in a low voice that Ares couldn't hear. "It wouldn't be fair to the other goddessgirls in line ahead of us."
"Oh. I guess you're right," said Aphrodite. She'd just stepped back in line when a godboy named Atlas called out. "Hey, Aphrodite! Come stand by me!" Flexing his bulging biceps, he picked up the scrawny godboy next to him and held him over his head. "You can have Hephaestus's place."
Squirming this way and that, Hephaestus protested. "Put me down, you big ox."
