Through my Window

Chapter 1.

"Good afternoon everyone, Raquel, could you read us your story ?"

"No. I didn't do it"

"What's the point of signing up for a writing workshop if you're not going to write?"

"She's hiding it. It's over there."

"What is that?"

"What's what?"

"That paper."

"It's nothing."

"No, it's definitely something."

"It's literally nothing!"

"Well then, anyone else want to read ?"

To tell a story, just knowing how to write isn't enough.
You also have to be brave enough to do it.
Which is why my story doesn't start here.
I guess it should start with my house.

A humble abode that wound up besieged by the empire that surrounded it.
The Hidalgo mansion.
Even though we're next-door neighbors, that family's from a very different world.
That's because the Hidalgos own Alpha 3, one of the nations top company's.
It's headquarters are in the tallest, shiniest, most important building in Barcelona.
Alpha 3, like the three heirs to the empire, the Hidalgo brothers.

Artemis Hidalgo, the oldest.
Apolo Hidalgo, the youngest.
And my favorite, a Greek god fallen from heaven, Ares Hidalgo.
The most mysterious, enigmatic, and sexy member of this trio of gods.
Let's just say I have an unhealthy obsession with Ares.
My computers hard drive is proof.
I mean, they know how to make good stuff on Olympus.
Too good to look away.

I've never said a word to Ares.
He has zero idea I exist.
But I know everything he does, when he trains, where he goes...
You could say I collect a bit of info on him.
Quite a bit.
Lots and lots of info.
Or at least I did, until that thing with my Wi-fi happened.
Apparently, my router decided to plot against me.
An evil scheme that was about to teach me that my ironclad password wasn't as ironclad as I thought. And that my high-speed connection would catapult me even further than I had ever imagined.

Raquel found herself crawling on the floor following her routers cord to see if she could inevitably find the problem when-

"Hi, thanks for the Wi-fi password, we don't get signal inside, but it's great out here. I'm Apolo, my brother Ares said you gave him the password."

"What??"

"Didn't? Anyway, I'll catch you later, all right?"

She looked over the courtyard to see Ares shadow from behind the curtain turn away.

As unbelievable as it sounds, it all started with the Wi-fi password.
