Esperanza smiled down at Leo and kissed his forehead "¿estás seguro de que no quieres que te lleve a la escuela?" (English: Are you sure you don't want me to take you to school?)

Leo smiled at his overly protective mother "Estoy seguro de mama que estoy caminando con Piper e Annabeth " (English: I'm sure mama i'm walking with Piper and Annabeth)

Esperanza just nodded and kissed his forehead "I'll be right here when you come home" she said she hesitated and her motherly instinct starting kicking in "What if something bad happens to you? What if a gang peer pressure you into taking drugs? what if you get kidnapped what if-"

"Mama" Leo interrupted "I'll be fine. I'm coming back with Piper and Annabeth remember?"

As if on cue their was a soft knock on the door. "That must be them" Leo said as he gave his mother a kiss on her cheek "Te amo, Mama" Leo waked towards the door and opened it revealing Annabeth and Piper

Annabeth's blonde hair was tied into a ponytail and she was wearing blue glasses that matched her eyes, She was wearing a knit made white shirt with black stars on it. It was about a size too big considering it revealed her shoulder which revealed her black bra strap. She was wearing black jeans (the shirt ended up to her knees) and black converse, she had a long shoulder strap book bag. She looked like one of the girls who pretended to be nerds but in reality Annabeth was just a cute geek which explained why she had more boyfriends then Piper and Leo could have (Yes Leo is gay) Piper still had the same choppy brown hair she always had. nothing new. She weared the same blue jeans and plain blue shirt. The only diffidence was that she had a pink sweater on and she had new Jordanians, Black and red Jordanians. She had the same book bag as well. A black Calvin Klein book bag in which she shouldered. "You ready?" Piper asked as Leo nodded.

"Leo be safe" Esperanza called out

"I will!" Leo called back stepping outside ready to close the door.

"Wait! bring Annabeth and Piper inside I'm sure they must be hungry!"

"It's alright Miss V Me and Annie aren't hungry!" Piper called out.

Esperanza walked towards them "That's a shame" she began sadly "I just made a fresh batch of brownies that I thought you girls would like. oh well" Esperanza said walking back to the kitchen Annabeth and Piper shared a look then ran inside to the kitchen, so fast Leo fell on his butt

"Seriously! abandon your best friend for brownies?!" Leo called out.

Annabeth and Piper came back with a plastic bag filled with brownies and their mouths smuggled with crumbs and chocolate cream.

Leo glared at the two girls as they gave him a sheepish smile.

Annabeth, Leo, and Piper were the bestest of friends. They all lived in the same neighborhood, in the same block. They've been through tragedy and misery together. when they were 8 Misery made company with them. Piper's parents died of a car crash and had to be in foster care until Annabeth convinced her parents to adopt Piper. They did adopt her just two months later and her and Piper were legally sisters. Annabeth's mother died from an airplane crash when she tried going to a meeting in Denver. Luckily her father provided for both the girls easily. He always had food on the table and Annabeth and Piper were pretty good kids. (Well they were smart) Piper got in trouble easily but it was nothing to extreme like she had to go to detention. Later on Leo's father died because of a fire Leo accidentally caused when he was small. Leo's father died by saving him but in return the grim reaper took his life. Since then they stayed by each other's side and vowed not too get too close to someone because when they die... that's going to be a bitch.

"Sorry" Piper said as she tried wiping the cream off her mouth.

"Oh Piper let me help you with that" Esperanza said as she wiped Piper's mouth with a napkin and did the same to Annabeth. "Be good and be careful!" Esperanza said as the three started walking away.

"We will!" the three called out and walked away.

"What classes do we have together?" Annabeth asked as they walked.

"Everyone take out your schedule's" Leo said as he and the two girls toke their schedule's out.

"First period: Sex ed, Mrs. Zhang" Annabeth announced

"Same" Piper and Leo called out

"second: Math, " Annabeth gave a strange look but shrugged as Leo and Piper called out 'same' "Third and fourth: Italian, Mr. Di Angelo"

Piper and Leo kept saying same until last period. Piper had gym, Leo had social studies, and Annabeth had science. The three had everything the same except last period but that was only one period.

"You chickens ready to go to High school?" Piper teased, secretly she could see the school but the others couldn't

"Of course I am!" Annabeth said very confident with a bit of nervousness in her voice.

"Cool Annie we're here" Piper said as she pointed to the giant baby blue school.

Annabeth's and Leo's jaw dropped. their whole lives spent together they all went to a small school but this..it was different.

"Actually I think I left my watch at home let me go and get it" Annabeth said trying to walk away until Piper held her wrist

"uh uh Annie. we've been waiting for this our whole lives."

Annabeth sighed as she puled herself together and the three walked in the school. The three's lockers were right next to each others.

Their first period of school started as a funny one. When they went to sex ed their teacher, Mrs. Zhang, was already annoyed with one of the students by the name of Luke. Mainly because Luke kept calling out random thing right after Mrs. Zhang finished a sentence talking about sex...

"Welcome class I am Mrs. Zhang but you could call me Mrs. Z for short. For today's lesson we will be talking about how children are made" "We all know they come out from a vagina no need to teach us" Luke remarked making most of the class giggled while Mrs. Zhang ignored him. ...

"When two people are having sex their hormones react and they get a tingle -"

"Isn't that the 'white sticky cream'?" Luke asked again making everyone giggle.

"Say one more thing inappropriate and i'll kick you out my class!" Mrs. Zhang threatened ...

"What i'm trying to say class is that you should never have sex before your an adult. Remember boys and girls when you get married you can escape from it. but when you have kids it chains you down"

"Bro's before Hoes!" Luke yelled enthusiastic as he jumped up fist pumping the air causing everyone to laugh

"get out!" screamed pointing to the door.

Yup first period was pretty fun thanks to Luke. The next period, math with Mrs. Zhang's husband, was alright. He teached a lesson which caused everyone to groaned except the three friends. their last teacher taught them math up to high school level.

But just when Leo thought everything was going perfectly well he went to Mr. Di Angelo's class which changed him forever. Leo, Annabeth, and Piper walked in the classroom one by one, Leo last. He thought Italian class would be pretty easy since he speaks Spanish and Spanish is kind of like Italian but he lost it when he saw Mr Di Angelo. Mr. Di Angelo was handsome. His hair was jet black and shaggy but it looked really touchable and it shone. His dark brown eyes were just breath taking. It was like the kind of brown you'd find on tree barks. Leo lost it when Mr. Di Angelo looked at him.

"What's wrong with you?" Piper whispered next to him. Piper caught Leo staring dreamily at alone their was a trail of drool in the corner of his mouth. When Leo looked at Mr. Di Angelo he would start day dreaming. One of his day dreaming included them after school. Leo would pin Mr Di Angelo to the wall and just start kissing his neck (and make many love bites)until he came to the end of his neck. He would tear open Mr. Di Angelo shirt and continue their.

Piper hitted Leo's arm "Valdez!" she whispered/ scream.

Leo came back to reality and wiped his trail of saliva "W-what?" he whispered

"Your drooling all over your desk" Piper pointed out pointing to the saliva on his desk.

Leo blushed was about to say something until the bell rang. All the kids piled up and raced out the door to go to lunch.

"Seriously what the hell was wrong with you?!" Piper asked as the three friends walked down the hall to the cafeteria.

"What did Leo do this time?" Annabeth asked annoyed, not taking her eyes off her book

"Nothing!" Leo said as the two girls ignored him.

"Well Leo was in Leo land and he was drooling" Piper told Annabeth

Leo blush In Leo land their aren't any hot teachers Di Angelo was a surprise Leo thought

Annabeth sighed "Isn't Leo always in Leo land?"

"Yes but.." Piper started "He was staring at a person while drooling"

please Annabeth don't be a smartass and figure it out Leo thought as he blushed

"Staring at a person while drooling? He ought to have a crush on the person, Piper!" Annabeth said as a-matter-of-fact

Piper looked at her sister weirdly "That can't be right. the person Leo was staring at was Mr. Di Angelo unless..." Annabeth and Piper's jaw dropped in realization

"Leo" Annabeth and Piper started

Leo felt heat rise in his cheek as his head dropped to the floor. "I- I know. you don't need to tell me. I know I'm disgusting I know it's wrong, and I know I shouldn't feel this way. If you guys don't want to be friends with me..then tell me now" Leo said as he raised his head up but didn't dare open his eyes. Their was so much silence Leo thought Annabeth and Piper might've left until he felt warm arms wrap around his shoulder. Leo opened his eyes and saw that Annabeth was hugging him. Leo stiffened at the sudden movement, his arms still in his sides.

"Leo" Annabeth spoke in his shoulder

"Yea?"

"hugging me back will make this less weird."

Leo chuckled and wrapped his arms around her and hugged

"Piper don't just stand their." Annabeth said more clearer

Piper smiled and hugged them causing a group hug. When they pulled away they all just stood their awkwardly

"Do you think Mr Di Angelo likes you back?" Piper asked breaking the silence

"Piper!" Annabeth said in shock and embarrassment

"What! don't get me wrong but while Leo was day dreaming about him Mr Di Angelo was looking at him! I saw something in his eyes.. I.. I think he might've felt the same way" Piper said in deep thought. Piper was an expert at relationship she knew exactly who liked who just by looking at them. their last school kids called Piper 'Aphrodite's daughter' and other nick names like 'Cupid's apprentice', 'Cupid's younger sister' and other names.

Leo blushed and looked away "d-do you really think?" he said in almost a whisper.

Piper nodded "I'll help you get his dick" Piper said casually

"Piper!" Annabeth yelled, her cheeks rosy pink "Languge!"

Piper chuckled "C'mon we both know Leo wants it Isn't that right Leo?" Piper asked wiggling her eyebrows at Leo.

Leo tried not to blush and laugh but failed "I'm not that gay!"

Piper and Leo laughed as Annabeth shook her head, blushing and smiling.

"Like I said buddy" Piper started wrapping her arm around Leo's neck "I'll help you get his dick just give 'the daughter of Aphrodite' some time!"

Leo smiled and chuckled as the three left for lunch.
