Tessa's POV


We sat at the table in silence, unbeknownst to what just happened. Did he really just say that? I shake my thoughts away, he's only being protective, nothing more.

"Hey Leo" A high voice purs. I turn around to see a tall, slim redhead.

"Leave me alone Georgia" Leo deadpans, looking down at his phone. She pouts before standing next to the table, beside Leo.

"Who's this bitch" Georgia eye'd me from head to toe, her face full of disgust. I sat in my table nonchalantly, not letting any word she says affect me.

"It's Tessa bitch" I fake smiled, using what she said against her. Her eyes widen, before she starts rapidly tapping Leo's shoulder.

"Leo she just called me a bitch" She whined, pouting to him. Leo turned around, clearly annoyed but before he could speak up I went ahead.

"Don't go looking for people to fight your battles hun" I shrug, pulling my apple out of my bag. At this point, I could've swear I seen smoke flying out of her ears.

"No one's fucking talking to you and certainly no one wants you here" She grits, taking a step closer to where I'm sat. I get up and walk head to head with her, closing the distance we once had. While I was 5'4, she was at least 5'7 but that didn't scare me. Nothing did anymore.

"Last time I checked, I was invited to this table while you," I stab my finger into her chest, pushing her back abit. "You came unannounced, so who are you fooling?" Raising a brow, I dare her to challenge me.

"Leo loves me more than he'll ever love you, I mean look at you" Her eyes scanning my body, "You're fat, your parents probably don't even want you, if you still have any" She spat, looking down into my eyes.

Now that awoke my inner demon.

"You're a fucking bitch, you know that?" I grit before hell breaks loose. I grab her hair in a fist and pull her down, kneeing her in the face. Just as I was about to throw a punch in, muscular arms grab me by my waist, pulling me back.

"Let me the fuck go! For fucks sake" I scream, attempting to wriggle out of this grip.

"T she's not worth it" A deep voice whispered in my ears, calming me down. Leonidas. He dropped his hands from my waist, letting me out. He turned me around to face him and looked me straight in the eye, trying to read my emotions.

"I'm gonna fucking kill her one day" I spat, looking at Georgia's condition. Her red hair messy and a bruised, busted lip. I could've done more if I didn't get dragged away. She sits up, rubbing her lip along her jumper sleeve and staring at me with murderous eyes. I smirk at her reaction before she bursts,

"I'm guessing you don't have parents, I can see why" She says nonchalantly.

Bitch really wants a round 2 already?

I wasted no time in stomping over to her. But yet again, Leo's lifts me by the waist, pulling me behind the other boys. The boys close in together, blocking me off but I can peek through their arms. Leo walks up to Georgia, a smile on her face. He better not be helping that bitch. He bends down to Georgia's level.

"I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you Georgia but we are nothing. Nothing" He emphasised on the last bit, leaving her on the ground and striding back to us. He bumps through the boys and comes straight to me, lifting my chin up with his index finger.

"You good princess?" He stares at me with worried eyes, trying to read me. He then tucks a loose strand of hair behind my hair, causing my breath to hitch at the touch.

"I'm fine Leo, don't worry about me" I smile softly, wrapping my arms around him for a hug. "Thank you" I continued, mumbling into his chest.

"Anything for you princess" He vowed, rubbing his hands along my back. We stay like that for a bit longer before I release my hold on him. All the boys are staring with wide eyes and smirks.

"I don't wanna hear it" I deadpanned, letting them know to keep their thoughts to himself. They all nod their heads, making me smile. In my peripheral vision, I can see someone familiar. I turn my head around,

"Bri!" I shout, causing her head to whip around in my direction, her eyes widen in shock. Probably because of the 4 giants surrounding my petite frame. I usher at her to come over and she does. Smiling awkwardly, I wrap an arm around her shoulder in attempts to ease her nerves.

"Boys this is my best friend Brielle. Brielle this is Leo, Carter, Beau, and Adrian" I point at all of them from left to right. They all smile and nod curtly at her, except for Beau. Beau's eyes are forming love hearts at the sight of Bri. I send a subtle bump to Beau's shoulder, causing him to break out of his thoughts.

"Nice to meet you Brielle" Beau smiles gently and Brielle does the same. She then goes on to fiddle with her fingers, she only does that when she's nervous. She's nervous, but who's making her nervous? Bri looks up at me and I smirk at her before letting out a slight chuckle.

Brielle and Beau, I call it right now.

As I'm about to call Reece to pick me up, someone taps my shoulder lightly. I turn around to see Leo,

"Hey" I greet, sending a warm smile. He re-adjusts his bag that was once sitting loosely on his shoulder.

"Hey, wanna go out somewhere. I just figured you would need it after the events that happened today" He explains, looking down at the floor. I tap my index finger on my forehead, letting him know i'm thinking,

"Hmmm, on one condition" I say very seriously, pointing at him. He raises a brow, ushering me to continue. As I was about to continue, his bag slid off his shoulder, planting itself onto the floor.

This is your chance Tes, take it.

While he bent down to pick up his bag, I launched myself onto his back. I was expecting him to nearly stumble over, but he showed no signs of struggling. He immediately wraps his arms under the back of my thighs, supporting me incase I fell.

"You give me a piggyback ride" I giggle, listing my condition. He shakes his head and I can hear a faint giggle. 

"You really are a loser huh?" He asked, heading towards his car. I gasped before smacking his shoulder lightly.

"I'm not a loser" I argue, wanting him to argue back. He dropped me down gently and opened the door for me to get in.

"You're my loser" He smirks, walking around to his side and starting the engine.


What is Leo doing?
