Oh, He Didn't Know (Leo Valdez x Female Reader)

Chapter 8

 I hope you guys like the super early update!

Trigger warning: Some talk about bullying, abuse and depression.

"So you're his girlfriend now?" Clarisse questioned during arts and crafts. She was paid ring on her electric spear and you were trying to make a Frisbee. So far you had lost three versions of you're construction.

 "Yes." 

Clarisse made a noise that sounded almost like a squeal which was a bit surprising since she never showed a girly emotion in all the time you had known her.

 "Did you just squeal?"

 " If he ever hurts you in any way shape or form, honestly just come and tell me and I will personally bash his head in and make him regret the day was born. "

 "Thanks I guess but I hope to never need it Clari. Can I call you Clari?"

"No."

"Awesome! See you later Clari!" You heard a snort from her but no other sound was heard.

You threw your fourth attempt at a razor sharp Frisbee towards the woods and it went really far. I just never came back. You sighed. The conch sounded for lunch and you walked up the hill to the pavilion. You listened to other people's conversations around you and you realized that most of them were talking about you and Leo or Katie and Travis, except for a couple kids who were talking about whether they could fit Harvey in the fridge, and some dryads wondering if they could convince a grocery clerk to sell them a single grape and the Stoll twins planning to get their toe nails pierced that weekend.

Thinking about what you might want for lunch you sat down beside Annabeth, ordering a F/D as you did so. You had given Annabeth and the rest of the girls the update already and they couldn't stop talking about it. Gossip spreads pretty dam fast.

As you were pondering this Leo came over and say down right beside you.

 "Leo! You're not allowed to sit here!"

 " Don't be exclusive. " he teased, " besides I thought you said you liked bad boys. "

 "Leo! I like you, not doing dishes for the next week."

 "She likes me!" He announced "Don't worry I like you too."

 " Well I wasn't all that worried since I'm your girlfriend now, but what are you doing here? ""

 "I can't just chat with my beautiful girlfriend whenever I feel like it?" You were beginning to blush at his antics.

 " Leo, just because.... " Just then you were interrupted by a cough behind you.

 " Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe you are supposed to be sitting together during breakfast." Chiron announced.

 " We were just, um, just" you stumbled about trying to find words.

 "I think you two will have lots of time to talk while you are cleaning the breakfast dishes."

 " But we were only... " Leo tried to convince him to let them off but Chiron only walked off.

 "Leo! This is my first month here and you already got me into trouble! " You almost shouted. A few heads turned to look at you.

 Leo smirked, but despite all your glaring he was still in a great mood. "See you after breakfast my cariño ."  He went back to his own table.

You huffed but you were also secretly excited because you got to spend time with him. Alone.
