Athena was no ordinary god, or godess. She was the godess of knowledge, but no one respected that. Her father always told her to never stop being who she really was.

One day, as Athena was walking to school two boys, Ares and Apollo, came up to Athena and said, “ Hey, you wanna hang out with us afterschool to pull a prank on the..”, Hades quickly looked around, “principal”. Athena quickly responded, “ No, and why would I?” The boys said, " Well for once, we thought you would wanna be cool."Athena began to weep and ran off to class.

Really inside of her, she wanted to be cool like everyone else. Especially like Aphrodite. Aphrodite was so cool that she got plenty of jewelery from the boys in class. So, after lunch, Athena told the boys, “ Ok, I’ll come afterschool to do the prank.” So then, they began to plan the prank.

Afterschool, Athena and the boys bought some foam and clay. Their plan was to cover the principal’s whole office with foam and build a clay model of the principal picking his nose.

The next day, Ares and Hades were called to the principal’s office. They knew what was up. Ares said to the principal, “ Athena planned the whole thing. We just followed along.” Athena was sold out. Athena was by the office when Ares said that. She came in and said, “ It is true.” The principal said, “ Why Athena? You were always my favorite student here at Cloud Sky Middle School.” Athena said, “ I only wanted to be cool, just like everyone else.” The principal said, “ You don’t have to be bad to be cool. You just have to be yourself.” Athena said, “ Thank you, I will always remember that.”

In the end Athena realized that she could be smart and cool, but she still had to suffer a consiquence. She had to do trash pickup during lunch. She respected that. Just like mortals respect her later on.
