              “I know what you are, Josh, and that’s probably not even your name. I know you know I'm not interested in Keagan, and you know that I know you caused all this drama today by doing your special mind trick. Let me guess, you’re Amora’s latest toy, and you’re doing this together as a practical joke.”
    I rush my first theory out in one breath, not wanting to give him a chance to interrupt me. If he denies that one, I ’ll go for him being older than Allana.
    I stand as still as I can; trying my best to keep my nerve while my chest rises and falls at a rapid pace, betraying my attempt at a calm exterior. I try pointlessly to simmer the anger that is rising within me. I may be younger than Amora, but that doesn ’t mean she can amuse herself at my expense like this. Josh’s air of confident arrogance gives way to confusion, “Who’s Amora?” Oh no, he’s dumbfounded. My anger turns to ice.
    “ And what mind trick can I do, and, for that matter, what drama?”
    Oh crap, the expression on his face flickers between confusion, annoyance and expectation. I ’m wrong, and now I ensured more attention will be focused on me than ever before. Allana is going to kill me. I don’t know what to say, but that doesn’t matter; Josh hasn’t finished.
    “ You call being approached in the hall and being asked if you were ok drama. You clearly aren’t from around here, are you?” He doesn’t give me chance to answer. “Don’t worry; from now on I’ll stay well away.” He examines me once more and shakes his head. “I’m not even sure why I bothered to come to talk to you in the first place. I guess what everyone says about you is true.” He walks backwards away from me shaking his head in disappointment. With one final glare at me, me, he takes off out of the school and out of my dreams.

    How am I supposed to explain to Allana what I’ve done? Why was I so stupid almost telling a mortal what I am! I’m drowning in regret for betraying Allana like this; after all the sacrifices she’s made for me.
    At the time of my creation, Allana had already been suffering from over a century of abuse from Eros. Unlike Amora and me; Zeus had Allana created to be in love with Eros, which meant no matter how horrible he was to her, or how many times he told her that he didn't want her, she would still follow him to the ends of the earth - literally. Allana is so gentle and kind and holds no grudge against me, unlike Amora, even though we are all each other ’s unwilling rivals.
    I glance to the clock on the dash where the digital number is turning into a nine; I ’ve been sitting here for thirty-six minutes and I can’t sit in my drive for much longer watching the numbers tick by. Putting the confession off isn’t going to make explaining easier but every time I think about how best to go about admitting what I’ve done, the empty look Josh gave me when he shook his head and walked away from me  reappears in my mind; his behaviour was  dismissive,  final.
    Worse than the image was when part of my body tried to lunge after him. I honestly thought my heart was going to break through my ribcage, just to get closer to him.
    He’s doing all this to you, the rational side of my brain tries to tell me, but I can’t imagine this all being an act to be true. Guess he could be a brilliant actor.
    Most Gods do possess some theatrical talent or his confusion and anger could because I ’d figured out his game earlier than planned and he will be in a world of trouble when Amora gets hold of him.
    The two of them having this secret agreement seems more and more plausible. More plausible than the alternative; my ‘other half’ has appeared before me. No way in hell Zeus would commission a mortal to be created for me to love. My union in love would result in all kinds of misery.
    A barrage of leaves thuds against my windshield,
