A brown-haired goddessgirl carrying so many scrolls she could barely see over the top of them fell into step beside Persephone. "Ye gods. That means one hundred seventeen days to go!"
"Hi, Athena." Persephone pointed to the pile of scrolls. "Some light reading?" she joked.
"Research," said Athena. She was the brainiest of Persephone's friends, and also the youngest, though they were all in the same grade.
The two goddessgirls continued past a golden fountain. Persephone's eyes flickered over a painting on the wall beyond it, showing Helios, the sun god, mounting to the sky in his horse-drawn carriage. The academy was filled with paintings celebrating the exploits of the
"Hey, you guys, wait up!" called a goddessgirl in a pale blue chiton--the flowing gown that was all the rage among goddesses and mortal Greek women right now. Aphrodite, the most gorgeou s of Persephone's friends, raced toward the two girls across gleaming marble tiles. Her long golden hair, held in place by seashell clips, streamed behind her as she dodged past a godboy who was part goat. He bleated, but when he saw who it was, he stared after her with an admiring, doe-eyed look.
"I'm going to the Immortal Marketplace this afternoon," Aphrodite said breathlessly. "Artemis was supposed to go with me, but she's got archery practice. Want to come?"
Athena sagged under her load of scrolls. "I don't
"It can wait," said Aphrodite. "Don't you want to go shopping?"
"Well," said Athena, "I could use some new knitting supplies." Athena was always knitting something. Her last project was a striped woolen cap. She'd made it for Mr. Cyclops, the Hero-ology teacher, to cover his bald head.
"You'll come too, right, Persephone?" Aphrodite asked.
Persephone hesitated. She didn't really want to go to the mall, but she was afraid of hurting Aphrodite's feelings. Too bad she didn't have a good excuse like Artemis. But except for cheering with the Goddess Squad, Persephone wasn't much into sports. "I ... uh ... I'd lov e to go," she said at last. Her mom would
"Let's stop by my room first," said Aphrodite. "I need to change." Aphrodite was obsessed with clothes and had a different outfit for almost every activity, often changing five or six times a day.
The student dorms were upstairs: girls on the fourth floor and boys on the fifth. Taking the steps two at a time, the goddessgirls were soon at the entrance to the fourth floor. "I'll drop these scrolls in my room and be right there," said Athena.
Aphrodite and Persephone continued down the hall nine more doors. After flinging her bag onto Aphrodite's bed, Persephone perched on the edge of it. "I'll just be a minute," Aphrodite said as she opened her closet.
Persephone glanced around the room. It was small,
Within minutes Aphrodite had wriggled into a fresh chiton--a lavender one this time--and Athena had returned. Back at the entrance to the hall again, the three goddessgirls shucked off their shoes and grabbed winged sandals from a communal basket.
As soon as they slipped them on, the sandals' straps twined around their ankles, and silver wings at their heels began to flap. In a blur of speed, they raced down the marble staircase to the main floor of the academy.
The Immortal Marketplace stood halfway between the heavens and Earth, below the cloud line. The goddessgirls reached it in minutes, skidding to a stop at the entrance. Loosening the straps around their ankles, they looped them around the silver wings to hold them in place so they could walk at a normal speed.
The marketplace was enormous, with a high-ceilinged crystal roof. Rows and rows of columns separated the various shops selling everything from the newest Greek fashions to tridents and thunderbolts.
There weren't any clerks, so Aphrodite went directly to one of the counters. A sculpted bust of a beautiful goddess sat on its glass top, surrounded by bottles and boxes of eye powders and liner, creams, and blushes. "Could you make us look like Egyptian princesses?" she asked the statue.
"It would be my pleasure to do so. Please be seated," the statue replied in a polite voice.
Aphrodite perched gracefully on one of the stools and motioned to her two friends to do the same. "Come on, it'll be fun. Just tell the makeup lady what you want." She turned toward the statue. "Egyptian kohl eyes are the newest style."
"No, thanks," said Athena, backing away. "I don't wear makeup."
Her makeup brush paused, almost as if in shock.
"She's young," Aphrodite explained to the brush, trying to soothe it. "Give her a couple of years."
"Ha!" snorted Athena. "You're only ten months older than me. Go ahead, though. I'll watch."
Drooping with disappointment, the little brush returned to its box as Aphrodite's brush began dusting sparkly blue powder on her eyelids.
It had been on the tip of Persephone's tongue to say that she'd watch too, but Aphrodite had already
Persephone obeyed, and the brush immediately began dusting blue on her eyelids as well.
When the goddessgirls finally left the shop, Aphrodite's and Persephone's eyes were heavily lined with black kohl, and Persephone carried a bagful of lipsticks, eyeliners, and eye powders that she didn't really want.
Oh well, she thought, she'd leave them in the Beauty- ology classroom later. She could hardly wait to wipe off the kohl from around her eyes when she got home. Against her already super-pale skin, the heavy black eyeliner made her look positively pasty. On Aphrodite, of course, the kohl looked great, but it made Persephone feel like a raccoon.
