Modern Olympians

Cassia Valli

My name is Cassia Valli, and my parents are super obsessed with the Greek Olympian culture, they even named my brother and I with greek names. It's cool I guess, I mean I guess I do enjoy it myself. I'm fourteen years old and currently going to Palm Cove Middle School. I live with my mother Tevona, father Nolo, and my brother Lewrus. Oh also Lewrus's girlfriend Kathryne, she had moved in with us a couple months ago, she doesn't really have the best relationship with her parents and she doesn't really like to talk about them. But what I do know is that I do love her and just want the best for her, she's like a sister I never had. I just wish Lewrus would hurry up and ask her to marry him, he's been talking about it lately, and asking my opinions on it. All I could say to him was "why haven't you already asked her, she's obviously the one for you." He just chuckled and grinned agreeing with what I said.

My mother is one of the most beautiful woman I know. With her gorgeous curly ginger hair, sparkling hazel eyes, and her perfectly positioned smile. She's very petite and is very connected with the moon in a way it's a little bit strange. The funny thing is my father is very connected with the sun, so Lewrus and I always like to joke around and call them the sun and moon lovers. My father is the very opposite of my mother, he has harsh dark hair sort of like the shade of coal, and blue as the sea eyes. He's more masculine and is extremely strong, I always wonder how he can be at the gym or in our basement gym so much and never get sore.

Now Lewrus, he's always up at night doing things, he is such a night owl. Which makes it very hard to sleep when you can hear him constantly walking around. One thing that surprises me is that he's never tired in the morning. Like my father he has the same shade of hair color. He always has it up in away I don't understand, it looks soft but yet rough. He also has the same color eyes as our father. For a fact I also have the same eyes, but honestly I wish I had my mother's eyes they're just so beautiful and it looks as if you're looking into a painting.
Kathryne along with my mother is one of the most beautiful woman I that I know. She has perfectly placed long blond hair, and beautiful sky blue eyes. No matter what is happening in her life she always has a smile on her face, that's one of the things I love about her. She's so strong and courageous. I can't wait until Lewrus and her decide to have a baby, they would be such great parents.

I have three best friends one of them including my boyfriend Zak Stone. Zak and I have been dating for about two years now and I really do love him, we've been through thick and thin and have always been there for eachother. I remember last year when I had to get my tonsils taken out that he had stayed the whole time, and he even bought me the huge brown teddy bear I wanted for a couple years but never could afford, we ended up naming him Gerold and he always sits on my bed. He also bought me the best shakes in the world for the whole week. I love his perfect blue diamond eyes, and his dirty blonde hair. But what I love the most is when we sing together, his voice sounds so amazing, I could listen forever.

But I would have to say my two greatest best friends would be Ajax Nanos and Lexi Windbloom. I've grown up with Ajax ever since I was born. Our parents are also childhood best friends, and we sort of grew the tradition on I guess. Ajax is around a month or two older than me, he likes to brag about it a lot even though it does sometimes gets annoying, I know he's only doing it for fun. He's always been like that he's the funny one. He always knows how to give me a laugh when I need one.

I remember when Ajax and I had our second birthday party together, that we were running around the place playing tag with everyone. I had ran straight into the table where the sharp piece was sticking out and I had a big cut on my forehead. He ran to go and get our parents but I wouldn't stop crying because it hurt so bad, but the best part was that he had found a diaper and put it on his head, started dancing around, and singing all these goofy songs. Which his plan had worked and cheered me up.

Lexi on the other hand we became best friends in kindergarten, I remember it exactly how it happened. Some guys probably just a year older than me were picking on me. Lexi saw that they were making me upset so she stepped in and put them in their place, i'm actually surprised she didn't get in trouble for that. But I remember after that we just clicked together. Lexi has gorgeous blond hair, you would think from far away that it's a dirty blond color, but when you get closer it actually has more of a gold tint to it. Her eyes are a hazel color, like a green forest mixed with slivers of gold. And her skin is almost pale but not, like the color of bread dough.

Now Ajax, I know that our parents want us to end up together so I mean it's a bit weird when we hang out but I put it in the back of my head. I like him as a friend nothing more. I could tell my parents were upset when me and Zak started dating, but they've grown on to him I think? I don't know I think they still want me to end up with Ajax, but both of us don't have those feelings for eachother were only best friends. That's it just best friends.
