Callisto; a modern retelling.

This was an assignment for school, and I highly suggest you read the original Callisto before reading my retelling. Without further ado;

Callisto; A modern retelling.

By S. G. Chapman.

Once upon a time, in the town of arcadia, there lived a gorgeous girl named Callisto, and her best friends name was Diana. She was super popular at school, because she was so beautiful. So popular, in fact, that The King of high school, Jupiter, admired her.  Well, Jupiter's girlfriend, Juno, didn't much care for that. So, Juno decided to make Callisto her rival, and made it her life's goal to make Callisto suffer, (She was a bit of a drama queen.)  She then spread awful rumors about her in school, including one that she lived with bears! And since Juno was so persuasive, they all believed her. Soon, Callisto was an outcast, everyone hated and was scared of her, even her so called best friend Diana.  She roamed the halls aimlessly, resigned to her fate to be an outcast forever, when she saw her brother, Arcas. Oh joy! Surely he still likes me! She thought, but when Arcas saw her he ran away, terrified to be seen with her. The worst thing about it was she still had her former disposition,  but no one bothered to look closer than what they thought they saw. She tried to reach out to people in supplication, but everyone ignored her. Juno was quite pleased with herself.

Callisto was now an outcast in the very halls she had resided as royalty. Now, let it be said that Callisto learned a very important lesson on looking deeper than people's looks, so this whole rumor thing wasn't all bad, but she was still too sad to see that yet.

Then one day, as Callisto was walking about aimlessly, a cruel person espied her and came up to her and was about to ridicule her some more, but just then who but our very own Jupiter came to her defense like the stand up guy he is! Then the truth came out about the rumors and how Juno had started them, and how they were all falsehoods.  And Jupiter dumped Juno for being so mean, and then started going out with Callisto, so she was like royalty once more. Juno was furious that her rival was more popular than her, so she went to the principle, and vice principle, Tethys and Oceanus, and convinced them, (Because she was so persuasive, remember?) That Callisto should be banned from her favorite sport, Swim team. The Principle and vice Principle assented and Callisto was forbidden to join her favorite sport. But Juno's plan totally backfired, because since Callisto was so humble and nice now, she got over it and the people loved even more.
