Modern Adaptation of Apollo and Daphne Summary

In this adaptation of Apollo and Daphne, Apollo is a girl who falls in love at first sight with another girl at a toga party. In the beginning of the story Apollo approaches Eros a friend of hers. They talk about the topic of love, and Apollo makes a remark that Eros doesn't sit well with (Still working on lines). About this time Daphne walks in the room and Apollo can not keep her eyes off of her. Eros smiles and tells Apollo about her so he is even more interested in her but leaves out a very important detail. All night Apollo can not get his mind off her but doesn't know what to say to her. When Daphne begins to leave, Apollo chases through the crowd trying to reach her. By the time she makes her way to her, out the door and down the stairwell. Apollo finally catches up to her outside. Apollo tells Daphne how she feels, but Daphne tells Apollo she is straight and things wouldn't work out. Daphne leaves, and Apollo is left on the walkway. She looks down and finds pin of a tree that Daphne wore on her toga. She looks up and Daphne is out of sight. Though things didn't work out with Daphne, Apollo will always have this pin to remember this "first love" by.
