not a chance

(icon credit 1 & 2)

hi, it’s me. ur local dumbass! this is gonna be a list of potential connections for the actual girl who stole my heart when i first wrote her, athena lovejoy (deadass i put so much love into this bitch, she just wants to be loved and i’m 🥺)!! if you feel like you wanna play out any of these things, give this a like & we can figure some stuff out!

“Really?? See…okay, I didn’t actually know this place was private property. I didn’t see a SIGN or anything.” Tyler was used to Athena, more than used to her. The attitude only made her smile as she moved to stand next to the younger girl. Tyler had a feeling that Athena was trying to hide away from everyone, but no one should have to be completely alone on their birthday. Besides, Tyler didn’t really like her birthday either so in a way she understood it.  

“I mean, I can go if you want. I just was hoping for a bit of company today and I don’t really have the energy to deal with anyone else, other than you. Think you could be so kind as to, I don’t know, give me the time of day?” Shoulder is bumped against Athena’s, expression unreadable. 

“Great idea,” she nods. “I guess I’ll bring a sign for next time.” She lets out a little laugh, patting the space beside her so as to offer Tyler a seat. It’s easier to give in and let her stay than to send her away. Besides, she doubts Tyler is going to force any kind of decision on her.

Eyes focus on the water as Athena soaks up the sun. It’s not like she has much else to do anyway, even though birthdays are a seemingly ‘huge’ deal in her family. It’s meant to be her ‘sweet sixteen’, though Athena knows exactly what that means for her. So many things to decide, a lot on her mind but she’s trying to avoid it all.

“I guess that answers my next question. Funny you haven’t heard of me. I know Pollo is much more concerned with talking about his HAIR, but I thought Artemis would have mentioned something similar to white hot rage or uncontrollable agony. I happen to have spent some time around both of them. I thought I was worth at least a mention to the younger sister, who has pleasantly surprised me by the way.” 

Enzo studied her momentarily, he enjoyed her spirit. It was always rewarding to meet someone with a personality as large as hers. She was confident in herself, or seemed to at least not be afraid to tell him what she really thought. “I’m Enzo, does it all make more sense now?”

It isn’t that Athena doesn’t know who he is, but rather that she doesn’t exactly care. She’s always been too preoccupied with other things to worry too much about who her siblings were hanging out with. Not the mention that they just so happen to be older than her, which makes her think that things should be the other way around. “You really think Artemis would waste her time talking about men?” The obvious answer is ‘no’. “You must not know her at all.”

“So you’re the smallest LOVE&JOY, huh,” Enzo muses, hovering over top of where she sat. He backed up a few paces, so he wasn’t looming over her eerily and rather looking at her from where he now leant, against  bookshelf. Luckily this particular bookshelf was against a wall and thus he didn’t cause a domino effect. 

“I will say that this particular SASS that you’ve greeted with has only made you more likeable to me. Don’t tell Apollo that you’re in the running for the spot as my favourite. Especially if you keep talking to me with that much ATTITUDE. I happen to enjoy when people have a backbone.” 

Eyes are quick to roll back as soon as the man starts speaking. Is this really what she’s being bothered for? “Sure,” she sighs. “That’s me.” Not that Athena truly cares who this man knows she is, but he hadn’t been wrong so she just confirmed what he already knew.

carson:  uh,  yeah ?? it’s kinda late ? carson:  i mean, its not super late unless your old

   she’s in the process of sending the third text when athena appears at her window — carson gives a good jump at the suddenness.  a quick gesture is made for the other to back up as she pops the door,  nudging it open with her foot and reaching for the mugs.   “ no,  i didn’t drink your hot chocolate,  i’m not a monster,  jesus.  also,  just be glad i didn’t spill anything,  yeah ?  i drive like a maniac and i couldn’t find any cups with lids n’ shit,  so,  mugs, ”   is her half - assed explanation as the mugs are produced.   “ wanna head in ?  we’ve got really comfy chairs. ”

Taking a step back, Athena’s hood comes off. “I’m just teasing,” she assures Carson. She lets out a small laugh, excited hands wrapping themselves around the mug. “I’m just glad you brought something to drink,” she admits, walking on over here having taken a bit of her energy. She sips, nodding to answer Carson’s question. Athena had been in here hundreds of times, sometimes multiple times in one day. She loved the Book Basement, which was why she bothered to come. 

She’s sat on the floor of the Book Basement, though most people would’ve found a chair somewhere else to sit. Athena is technically squished into the corner of aligning shelves, absolutely comfortable, knees tucked into her body. 

Attention shifts to a voice, someone who--to Athena who hadn’t been paying attention to anything but her book before now--looks like they appeared out of nowhere. “Can I help you?” Words laced with slight annoyance, the witch’s book closing in her hand to give the other her full attention (not that she wants to).
