Chapter 2

Both mother and daughter went down the steps gracefully and elegantly. They looked like princesses. They went to the drink table when someone tapped the mother's back.

"May I have this dance?" asked the man as her mother gasped.

The mother shot Beatrice a look as her daughter smiled and nodded. Her mother, Andromeda, agreed with the man and left. Just then, someone too tapped onto Beatrice's shoulder. Turning her heels, she saw a tanned boy, somewhat her age, dark gold and stormy blue eyes. He was hot.

"Hi," he said.

"Salutation," she greeted back.

"I am Ezra and you are?" he asked and smile.

Her heart fluttered. "Beatrice."

"You have a beautiful name, Beatrice, do you want to be friends?" he asked.

"Sure, if you want to."

"That's wonderful!"

"So... what is your favorite color?" asked Beatrice.

"My eye color, stormy blue, who is your favorite Greek god?" he asked.

"Poseidon, my mother says I am blessed by him as I have his eye and hair color," explained Beatrice.

"Mine is Apollo 'cause he is so cool!" exclaimed Ezra.

Well... that was the start of their Greek mythology themed conversation all the way to the end of the ball.
