The reason why I love you [Leyna]

First time

Hey guys!!

Sorry, I found a mistake in the previous chapters.

Leo Valdez asked Reyna out for a picnic on a Saturday afternoon. Not on a school day, but I seem to have mixed it up and wrote it wrong... The mistake is now corrected and if there are still other confusing things, please comment and let me know!!

"Sophie can you please hel-"

"OMG I've been waiting for this day since I don't know when!!" she answers before I even finish my sentence. "I'm gonna dress you out as if you've never... ugh, I don't know..." She probably didn't found a suitable metaphor for this.

Today is finally Saturday. Yes, it's the day I asked Reyna out. And freaking Hades besides dressing myself neatly, I've also got to make some amazing tacos for our picnic! Although I woke up pretty early today, or to say that I almost didn't sleep through the night, I'm still running out of time. Hopefully, I have Sophie to help me out.

"Yeah, whatever," I say. "What should I wear?"

"You should wear jeans. Skinny jeans with a few scraped holes. It makes boys look more attractive, and you have a real pretty figure so I guess it'll work." she explains. "And I thought about hoodies but I think it's a bit too warm. A T-shirt would work out anyway. Just don't wear those with the silly print marks or those which you've smudged."

I follow her instructions as I search through my closet. Damn, I don't even have many clothes, let alone having a neat and pretty one. I usually wear t-shirts while fixing or making things, so most of them are blemished by the oil or my blood and sweat.

"I don't know Sophie... Can't I just lend one of the oversized tees you wear?" I ask in frustration.

"No way, Reyna would find out that you borrowed it from me." Oh yeah, I didn't thought about this part. "You could just wear the gray shirt Solace left here last time he visited." Sophie points at the gray fabric peeking out behind the white shirts.

"When did he leave this here?" I pull out the shirt from my closet.

"You remember last time when we all had a movie night here? The Stolls kinda pranked him and he got ice cream all over that shirt. So you lent him one of your thousand white dirty shirts and you both forgot to fetch your shirts back, I assume," she tells.

"Ah... I think I remember that. Was Nyssa also there that day?"

"Yeah she was, that's why Will kept insisting on changing his shirt, lol. Normally he would've just been half naked and showing off his six-packs. And we would squeal at him and throw pillows at him and steal all his ice cream since he worsened our vision."

"Oh, I know that. It's the reason why the Stolls keep pranking him. They'll get more ice cream if they succeed in that." I laugh while changing into Will's shirt. It looks pretty nice, just a bit oversized.

"I think you should borrow more clothes from Solace, you look pretty good in that tee," Sophie comments. "I'm gonna go downstairs and help you in the kitchen." And she leaves with my door half-open.

I mutter thanks to her while checking myself in the mirror. It's been a while since I've gotten myself neatly dressed up, and I'm still not so used to it. But whatever, Sophie said that girls like clean guys with gentlemen attitude... So I guess I'll make out. I throw on tight jeans with two holes by my knees, just like Sophie advised and make my way down the stairs.
