After The War

Chapter 31

Next chapter.

Okay so I have realized that I haven't really had high school in this book, but you guys seem to like it so tell me; should I have more high school drama, or leave it the way I have. Because I'm really writing this for you guys.

But anyways I think I'm going to settle down on the demi-god drama fro a while and leave it in high school. Let's just say that the people who want two demi-gods are watching we can do that right.

Great. Okay so. Enjoy.

Leo's POV

"Whatcha thinking about," said Jessica as we were pulling up to the house. Through out the short drive from school to our house I hadn't said a word.

I looked over at her and studied her carefully. "Just about how scared I-we were when you were gone. Do you know how long we searched for you?"

"I'm sorry I scared you, but it wasn't my fault," she replied sadly.

"I know. It-it's just, I thought, we thought," I cursed myself for making that mistake again, "you were gone and never coming back. Percy was distraught. Everyone was."

She thought over my words carefully. "Well Luke said that he didn't want to use me. Just see what was so great about me. He said it was nothing, so I'm guessing everyone else is wrong." She looked like a lost puppy trying to find its way.

"Well hopefully you are nothing," I said without thinking.

I realized what I said quickly, "I didn't-I didn't mean it that way. I mean I meant it as in. Not special. Or I mean not important. No that's not it. I meant-"

She put her finger on my lips to shush, and I finally looked at her. I felt the flush on my checks when I noticed her smiling.

"It's fine. I understand what you mean," she smiled shyly.

I nodded grateful and decided not to speak.

"So Wire Head, what do you want to do?" she asked as she smirked.

"Ice cream," I shouted forgetting my plan not to talk.

"I suppose, but your already so hyper."

"Please. I promise I'll calm down. I really want ice cream.

"What happened to your bad boy persona?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Everything goes blank when ice cream is mentioned," I state seriously.

She laughed and agreed. "Okay, fine but let me go change."

I nodded while she got out of the car leaving the keys in. Once she got in the house, I got out of the car and into the driver's seat. I wondered where she got this car because I didn't remember us having this type of car in the garage.

Finally after ten minutes, Jess came back out. She had on dark blue skinny jeans and a purple shirt with black flowers littered over it. Her black and white Converse were covered in tiny doodles.

"What are you doing?" she asked bringing me out of checking her out.

"Sitting. What are you doing?" I said emphasizing on the you.

"Get out," she stated.

"No, I want to drive," I whine.

"But it's my car."

"Where did you even get the car?" I ask suspiciously.

"I rented it in Maine."

"And when were you planning to return it."
