"You'll have to be faster than that, hero."

Kellin's POV

Ugh, that hero won't stop bothering me! Doesn't be have anything else to do? Like, I don't know, slicing off some monsters head? Or chasing after someone else but me?! I do not want to have to constantly put up with arrogant as.sholes like him. I learned my lesson with Matty. I payed some attention to him, and now he barely leaves me alone. I had barely any time to myself, and now Vic takes up that time. Humph. I hate these heroes.

"Oh come on, Kells, one little kiss?" He mock puckers up. Ugh, why Zeus? Or Hera, or whoever I offended? Why did the cute, gay hero have to be insufferable?

"One, do not call me Kells." I tell him, glaring at him. "Two, leave me alone!" I start walking away, but he lightly grabs my arm.

"Why are you playing hard to get? If you'd just come with me, I could show you how big and long my sword is, if you know what I mean." He winks, still looking like he's mocking me.

"Wow, how long did it take you to come up with that?" I respond sarcastically. "And it's not playing hard to get, it's called not being interested, Vic." I reply, rolling my eyes and then flipping my hair. "Now let me go!"

He smirks at me. "I don't believe you. I'm too amazing, doll." He puffs out his chest. Oh my god, he is kidding, right? "No joke," he adds, still doing that stupid smirk. He probably thinks it makes him look cool or whatever. Well he's wrong. He just looks like a big, ugly, arrogant, idiot.

Okay, not ugly or big. Short and cute, but still an idiot! Ugh.

"Ew. Just... no." I yank my arm away from him and start running away from the stream where he found me. I had come here to meet up with my nymph friend, Alex, but he wasn't there. He's probably with that hero, Jack.

"You can't run from me, princess," he calls out, but I hear his foot falls getting fainter and fainter behind me. Ha! Once I reach the top of a hill, I stop and turn around. He's at the bottom of the hill, looking up at me and sharing his eyes from the sun.

"You'll have to be faster than that, hero!" I yell down. I can see him roll his eyes, and he waves.

"Until next time, doll!" He yells back, then turns and walks away. I cross my arms and smirk. I've got to tell the others about this.

*******

"Oooh! Really? Oh my gods, that's so-" Katelynne stops mid sentence. I know she was about to say dreamy or something, but she saw my expression and stopped. "Arrogant." She finished, earning an approving smile from me. "I mean, I can't believe he would do that." The others each her, saying how much better I am than him, how he doesn't deserve me, that he's a jerk or he's an idiot.

Ryan joins in too, and I snort at him. "Ryan, that's complete bullsh.it from you, you have told me time and time again that that's just him being, 'dominant and sexy'." I smirk at him, and he blushes.

"Um... well... shut up!" He protests, and fails to defend himself.

"Speaking of you being a total sl.utty bottom, how are you and that Brendon guy doing? You were totally hanging off him at that party a week ago." It's true, and I ship them so much! They're adorable together. Like, so meant for each other. And Ryan can't say he isn't a sl.utty bottom, because we live in the same area and when he brings guys home he is so loud. We all know he has a daddy kink.

Actually, everyone gathered here right now is in the little grove we live in. There's Katelynne, Ryan, Hayley, Tay, Jenna, Andy, and my best friend ever, Justin. Hayley kinda acts like all of our mom's, she's super awesome. Tay and Jenna have been going steady for a few hundred years, Katelynne has a total weird straight crush on me. Like, I'm not into that. Andy is obsessed with this dude named Ashley, a satyr of all things. And Ryan, well he is into Brendon now. I'm kinda like our little clique leader.

Right now we're all gathered in the center of our trees, except Jenna is the flower nymph and Katelynne is the pond nymph of the pond thats, like, super duper close to our little ring of trees.

Ryan pouts. "I was going to go see him, but then I heard he's going out with that Sarah girl now..."

Just then Ryan's face falls more. "Oh, look. They're hanging out over there." I turn to face where be is pointing, it's a stream that's a while away. Far enough that they definitely can't hear us, and probably can't see us due to the trees. We can see them because we've lived here hundreds of years and our eyesight is fantastic.

"What?!" I shriek. "That is not okay. No, I'm going to fix this."

"How?" Ryan asks hopelessly. I smile a smug smile.

"Hey Kate, could make some rainbow for me?" I ask. She smiles, super eager to please me. God's, girl, stop acting so desperate. Then again, it does come in handy, like right now.

"Of course," she says, and soon enough there's a rainbow for me. I pull a drachma out of my purse and Ryan gasps.

"You aren't calling him, right?" He asks frantically.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?!" I shoot back. He cowers.

"...no."

I roll my eyes and throw in the drachma. "Hey cloudy, or whatever the fu.ck your name is, do me a solid." A face appears, the cloud nymph who does better connections in calls than Iris.

"You should know by now, it's Fleecy, not cloudy." She radiates sass. I roll my eyes.

"Whatever. Anyways, can you connect me to the mother of that stupid Sarah chick?" I ask her.

"The same Sarah that Brendon Urie has been seen going out with?" She asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yup." I confirm.

"But Kells!" Ryan protests, "she'll know it was you and tell Sarah who will tell Brendon and ruin me!"

"Not if Fleecy can make it so we can see her but she can see us," I tell her, then turn to face Fleecy again. "You will do that, right?"

She flips her hair and considers. "What's in it for me?" I sigh, and pull out two more drachmas.

"A tip." I put bluntly.

"You mean a bribe." She smirks. Ugh, the annoying bi.tch.

"A tip." I say, adding two more drachma. She considers, than reaches through the connection to grab them.

"Deal. Enjoy your talk!" She says before disappearing.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. See ya cloudy." I tell her before she is gone. Then, after a few moments, I see some lady, she must be Sarah's mom. Oh my gods, she looks so ratchet with those stupid golden rings in her hair. I mean three is okay, but four? You're pushing it, grandma.

"Who's this?" She asks. "Why can't I see you?"

I turn on my deep guy voice. It sounds dou.che-y, but that's the point here. "This is a, uh, private message for Sarah" I say.

"What the Hades?"

"Just tell her that, uh, Norman says hi. And that I really enjoyed being her daddy, we should do it again sometime." I see the others eyes go wide, and I have to hold back a giggle. Oh my gods, this. Is. Priceless!

"What?!" She demands loudly. Sh.it. That made get have been too loud. Luckily, when I look over to where Sarah and Brendon are sitting near the stream they still appear oblivious to what's happening over here. Good.

"Bye," I manage to choke out without laughing, then I wave my hand through the rainbow to break the connection. At that moment, we all burst out laughing. Good gods, that was beautiful!

Just then, I hear a loud voice yelling. We turn simultaneously to see someone Iris messaging Sarah. We watch and hear the mom chewing o it Sarah, and the Brendon gives her a disgusted look and walks away. I turn and smirk at Ryan.

"She's not going out with anyone." Everyone congratulates me on how smart I am, perfect, etc. I know, bit.ches, I know. I'm perfect.

Vic totally doesn't deserve me. And I totally do not want him, Never happening.

Ever.
