Chapter One: Kindle for the Fire
~~~
"Wait, what?" Jason asked, bewildered at what he just heard from his best friend. Jason looked at his girlfriend Piper, who just stared back at him then to the boy in the back seat, looking down at the floor of the car.
"You heard me the first time, do I really have to say it again?" The latino boy, Leo, said in the back seat to the front seat occupants. He looked up at the couple in the front seat. "'Cause I really don't want to say it again." Leo said, looking back down at the cars floor, which was littered with everything imaginable that one would find in a teenagers car, fast food wrappers, tissues, condoms (unused, as of now), trash, school books, notebooks, you name it.
"Leo, what did you say?" Jason said, pulling over into the parking lot in front of the school, he turned around and looked at Leo. "What is it? You say have something important to tell us, then you whisper it to us so quietly we can't hear it!" Jason said, rolling his eyes at his best friend sitting in the back seat.
"Jason, leave him alone, I'm sure he can tell us when he's ready." Piper said to her blond boyfriend, grabbing him and the arm and looking into his eyes, using her magical voice to persuade him. Piper could always do that, she had this awesome way of persuading anyone she wants into doing something she wants.
"No, this can't wait anymore, I should have told you guys earlier." Leo said from the back, he started to shake and shiver, still in the back seat, staring down at the floor.
"Leo, what are you talking about? Are you in some kind of trouble? Did you do something bad? You wouldn't kill anyone, but what?" Jason said, rapid firing the questions at Leo. "Hurry and tell us, or we'll be late for class!" Jason said, getting impatient starting to gather all his books from the back seat.
"Guys, i'm gay." Leo said before an awkward silence settled throughout the car. "Please, say something. Anything." Leo said, getting ready to start crying in Jason's car. A sudden warm hug enveloped Leo. Piper hugged him, then put her arm on his shoulder. Leo looked at Jason, who sat there in the front, smiling. "You knew. Didn't you?" Leo asked them.
"Duh. Of course we did grease monkey, we're your best friends." Piper said taking her hand off his shoulder. "Plus, it wasn't that hard to figure it out." She said, smiling at Leo.
"What do you mean it wasn't hard to figure out?" Leo said, suddenly feeling mortified at what she just said, thinking he had been too flamboyant.
"Well Leo dude, remember when I was totally freaking out after I found out last month that Percy was gay?" Jason said, letting Leo out of the car. He looked at Jason and nodded. "You got really quiet, and said, and I quote you on this 'Who cares if a guy likes another guy, it's pretty normal you know.'" Jason said to Leo as Leo sat there and though back to the incident. Leo remembered himself saying it, but hadn't remembered it until now.
"Wait, so your not mad, or disgusted, or freaked out?" Leo asked, somewhat relieved.
"No, of course not, wait, you don't have a crush on me right?" Jason said, his eyes somewhat amused at the though.
"God no. I don't even know how Piper can stand you." Leo said, partly laughing while looking to Piper, who was holding Jason's hand.
"Hey, I resent that. Wait, what do I do that bother's you?" Jason said looking to the elfish latino boy behind him.
"Besides being so stupid all the time, being totally rude" Piper started, Loe continued "Burping, Spitting loogies everywhere, farting and rolling the windows up after we eat at Taco Bell." Leo said. "That too, I hate Taco Bell Jason, it gives me bad gas, a stomach ache, and a case of diarrhea."
"Hey, I though it was your favorite restaurant!" Jason said, shooting Leo a look.
"Just because i'm Latino doesn't mean I like Taco Bell. That's racist Jason." Leo said, rolling his eyes at the other boy. "I like white people food too, like Burger King, Wendy's, hell, my favorite food is Japanese. I love sushi." Leo said, mock-berating Jason.
"Oh! Leo, sushi date after school, my treat on behalf of your new found love for guys. We can talk about them together now." Piper said to Leo, then looked at Jason. "Do you want to come?" Piper asked Jason.
"No, I have midterms to study for. But back on topic, Leo, your gay, and you like guys." Jason started, but then was cut off by Leo.
"Guy. Just one, you guys don't really know him." Leo said, blushing at the though of who it was. "But, you have to trust me, because i'm not sure if he's even like that, he's a jock, so he probably isn't anyway." Leo said down sadly.
"Leo, please tell me it isn't Percy Jackson, that kid is ridiculous. Plus he is really kind of stupid." Jason said, thinking of the skinny black haired imbecile.
"Jason, just because Percy is gay, doesn't mean I like him, and he has ADHD, so stop being a jerk." Leo said, getting slightly annoyed. It got quiet, they were walking into the school, when Leo stopped dead in his tracks, looking down the halls with his eyes glazed over and a stupid smile on his face. A stockier boy came up to greet the trio.
"Hey guys, whats up." The boy said, trying to study a paper, presumably a study guide for a test. "Did you guys finish the graph for Mr. Chiron's Ancient Greek location quiz, I'm missing questions three and eight." He said again.
"Hey DJ, um, yeah, I have it." Leo said, searching his messenger bag.
"Hey DJ, wanna join us for sushi after school?" Piper said, making Leo look directly at her, and the send her the most evil glare he could muster, which was not much different then the face he had when he felt sick.
"No, I'd love to, but I can't, two weeks from now is the prom. So I have to go get a tux and stuff. Thanks for the invite though. Leo, do you have that paper?" DJ said looking at Leo who was still looking through his bag.
"Shit, I lost it. I think I left it in your car Jason." Leo said, before the class bell rang. "Shit! Mr. Chiron was supposed to collect that as part of the grade. "Maybe I can get if before class st-" Leo looked at an outstretched arm, holding a paper.
"Here, I studied long enough, take mine." DJ said, giving his paper to Leo. "Thanks dude, but your gonna lose points, aren't you?" Leo took the paper and changed the name on it to his.
"No problem, I figured you need it more than I do." Dj said, smiling at Leo. "Let's go kick this test's ass." Dj said making Leo laugh. Walking away Jason and Piper smiled at each other, both thinking the same thing.
