another caleo chapter bc i read another sad fic where caleo broke up T-T

why do i do this to myself?

idfk, here's the chapter tho lmao:

Alena's POV:

Seeing your best friend after almost 11 years is awkward. But you literally falling in love during the 10 months you spent with him (even though you were, like, seven at the time), then seeing him after 11 years is different. Not awkward, more...happy. Hopeful that you could confess to them.

So when I saw Leo at my school, I kind of freaked out. I didn't avoid him, I actually confronted him. Sort of...

"Hey, uh, I kind of need some help?" Leo said. I knew he didn't recognize me, but I'd recognize him anywhere. He did look kind of different. He obviously looked older, but he looked way more mature, like he had been through more than the average human could even imagine. (yea, i mean, he died)

"Leo?!" I screeched. 

"Wait- Alena?!" he asked incredulously. I nodded and hugged him. People were staring, but f'ck them. I do what I want. (literally me lmao)

"Oh my gods, it's been, what, 10 years?" he asked.

"11," I replied.

"I stand corrected. Let's catch up later. TSC? I'm meeting up with some friends there later, maybe I could introduce you? (yes, TSC again. it's a new obsession, ok?)" he said. I nodded happily. Was he asking me out...? No, I just re-met him. Maybe in a few weeks. 

timety skippety (idk, go with it)

I was panicking. 

Over what to wear.

Which is so unlike me! I never cared what other people thought. But this was LEO. i ran my fingers through my auburn hair anxiously.

I finally decided on a faded pink t-shirt, acid-washed jeans, and light pink checkered Vans. I grabbed my phone and got in my car to go to TSC. 

When I got there, I saw Leo sitting with 4 other people. There was a Cherokee girl who was wearing a black tank top with an army green jacket over it. She was wearing about three different necklaces, and she had 2 blue feathers in her hair. 

Then there was a girl with blonde hair and tan skin. Her eyes were a stormy shade of gray. They were the same color as her t-shirt, actually. She was wearing a necklace with a bunch of brightly colored beads. She and the Cherokee girl were laughing at something Leo said. 

There was a blonde guy with a scar on his lip. He was wearing an electric blue t-shirt. It was almost the same color as his eyes. He was also wearing a beaded necklace, but his only had one bead on it. 

Then there was a caramel-haired girl who was wearing two necklaces. One with a star pendant, and another beaded necklace. It also had one bead. She was wearing a lilac sweatshirt and was helping Jason film Leo. I don't know exactly what Leo was doing, but everyone was laughing, so I guessed it was something that Leo would normally do. 

"Alena! Over here!" I heard Leo say.

"Hi!" I waved at his friends.

"Hey! I'm Annabeth. Sorry Percy couldn't be here. He got detention. And Frank and Hazel are busy at CJ in California, " the blonde girl- Annabeth- said.
