Chapter Two: A Little Spark
~~~
"Okay, I'll be collecting your worksheets from last night's homework as part of our midterm today." Mr. Chiron, their handicapped ancient greek teacher (which was a class offered that their school), said as he walked around the room. He went up and down the rows, collecting Leo's paper, then he stopped at DJ's desk. "Mr. Pierce, where is your study guide?" Mr. Chiron asked DJ.
"I think I left it in my car sir. Could I go get it?" DJ asked, knowing it wasn't in his car, also know that Mr. Chiron wasn't going to let him leave.
"No, you should know that it isn't my rule, that is the school's rule. I will however give you the worksheet to work on in addition to the midterm, with no point deduction." Mr. Chiron said to him. "-but! You do have detention for today." Mr. Chiron reprimanded DJ, Leo, finding it bad that Dj was being punished for Leo forgetting his paper.
"Sir that's not fair, DJ never forgets his homework, and he has never got detention in this class before." Leo said, getting an awkward stare from most of the class, and a smirk from Jason and Piper, who knew what was going on.
"Well Mr. Valdez, I don't remember asking your stand on the topic, you may join him for detention, anyone else?" He waited. "No, good, you may get your papers on the front desk here, and hand them in after your done." Mr. Chiron spoke.

"That was soo easy." Piper said walking out of the room, waiting for everyone else. She looked into the classroom, first at her boyfriend who was checking his work. Then at her other best friend Leo. Leo kept looking at the boy who diagonally in front of him's answer sheet. "Wait a minute." She looked again. He wasn't looking at the paper, he was looking at the boy who was two seats diagonal from him, past the boy she though he was cheating off of.
Jason walked out of the classroom, and saw Piper. "Damn, that test sucked." Jason said, kissing Piper, he circled around her, and hugged her from behind. He could see that she wasn't paying attention to him. "What 're you looking at Pipes?" Jason said, looking at what she was looking at. "Leo's an idiot, he's making it totally obvious that he's cheating, he's going to get caught, well, maybe not, Mr. Chiron is probably too busy with his sudoko to notice." Jason said, but then saw that Piper was smiling. "That's not it, is it?" Jason said, wanting for Piper to pay attention to him.
"Nope, I think Leo finished before I did, he's staring at somebody." Piper said, turning to Jason. "Somebody special. Somebody that our little Latino is infatuated with." Piper said again. Jason looked hard, then looked at Piper like she was crazy.
"Pipes, I know Leo is gay, but I don't think he's in love with Chris Rodriguez..." Jason said, still staring at Piper.
"No Jay, look more to your left, he's not looking at Chris, he's looking at DJ." Piper said. "I know it when I see it. That's definitely Leo staring hard at DJ." Piper said turning around to Jason, looking into his vibrant blue eyes. "I know because it's the same way you used to look at me before we got together. That- " Piper pointed to Leo, "- is the look of lust, longing and love. Cupid shot Leo in the ass hard with an arrow of love." Piper said, smiling at Leo, who was watching DJ get up, and immediately followed him.
Piper heard Mr. Chiron remind them of their after school detention. They nodded and walked out. She saw DJ hit Leo's arm with the back of his hand. "Why did you do that? You had plans after school with Jason and Piper, I took the fall for you." DJ said to Leo.
"It wasn't fair, you gave me your paper and got detention for me. So I wanted to make it fair. Sorry." Leo said, looking down after DJ berated him. DJ put his arm his shoulder. "You shouldn't have done it… but thanks, now I have a detention buddy." DJ said playfully punching his arm. The bell rang, the end of their first class.
"Gym time Deej, lets go." Jason said to his friend before walking off. Piper looked at Leo who was watching DJ walk away.
"Leo. You like him." Piper said to Leo, who snapped back to reality. "What!? No. Not him, he's not like that." Leo said, getting more quiet towards the end of the sentence.
"But it doesn't change the fact that you still like him. You know, you'll have to tell him sooner or later right?" Piper said, earning a look from Leo, which ranged from bewilderment to fear. "Leo, he needs to know, he's your best friend besides me and Jason. But he's a jock, so be careful about it, don't tell him that you like him until you know he's cool. He may not be as cool as me and Jason were about it."
"He's not like that Piper, he'll be nice about it. I hope." Leo said, his voice trailing off towards the end that made him sound unsure about it.
"I believe you that you know what your doing. But, be safe, I don't want you to get hurt." Piper said. "Come on, let's get to Photo and Film, we're going to be late." Piper said, dragging Leo through the hall.
