it's hard not to love you

"Jason," I huff. "What the hell should I do about him?" I ask Nico.

He was at my house right after I texted Jason since I told him to come over, it was only nine o'clock when he came and he's staying the night.

With me and Nico, we don't care what time it is. We will be at our houses as fast as humanly possible.

He shrugs, "Maybe he's going to trick you and not actually tell you why he bullies you. Or he will confess his undying love for you and you will get married and have kids!" He's so dramatic.

"Be realistic, Nico, I don't know what to do!" I groan.

"I am being realistic! You two will get married and have kids! It'll be great."

"I hate you," I smile at him.

"hate you, too," He smiles back.

The next day at school, I keep an eye out in the halls to see if Jason would come up to me.

"Calm down, Leo." Nico tells me. "Just be calm and patient."

"Easy for you to say, you're not the one with the bully who suddenly wants to un-bully you," I glare at him.

"That's not a word, stupid," He rolls his eyes as wall to the one class we have together.

At lunch I continue to stare at Jason's table, quickly turning my head if any of them look back at me.

Will comes over and takes Nico to the bathroom to have their make out session. Everyone know that's what they do since the two come back panting with messy hair and with new hickeys.

I sit at my table alone and I scroll through my phone just looking for a song to listen to as I pass the time.

I pick "thursday/froze over" by blackbear.

I put my headphones in and hum to the song and singing along silently. I didn't hear Jason behind until he taps my shoulder.

I take out my earbuds and face him, "oh, hey."

"Should I tell you now? Or wait until after school?" He sits across from me and puts his head in the palm of his hand.

"Um," I think, "Do you want to tell me now?"

"It's fine if I tell you now or later, " he shrugs.

I shrug as well, "I guess you can tell me now." I say, "We have about thirty minutes left until free period ends." I stand up and put my stuff in my backpack.

Jason stands too, "We should go somewhere private," he tells me, "I don't want people to stare at us."

I nod.

We walk to the back of the school, sitting on a bench.

"So," Jason starts off, "Well.."

He sighs, "Okay, so why I bully you and other people is because kind of because of other people telling me to do it. I know it's my fault that I listen to them even though I know it's wrong, and I'm sorry for picking on you." He starts fiddling with his fingers. "And somehow through picking on you, I ended up developing feelings for you? I have no idea why, it sort of just happened."

Holy fucking shit. Nico was right about Jason liking me. Nico is a witch. Confirmed.

I'm speechless. I never really imagined Jason really liking me. I didn't know what to say.

I hear him mutter, "fuck it," and he scoots closer to me, "if you want me to stop I will." he states, and before I know it, he's kissing me.

My eyes widen for a moment before closing. Without noticing I start to kiss back. I would have never imagined I would be kissing Jason Grace.

I pull away after a minute, turning my head away from Jason so he wouldn't see me blushing.

I didn't know exactly what to say after that, so my dumbass self just said, "so.. you're a really good kisser."
