I don't own PJO or HOO!

I update irregulary and I publish unfinished stories that I know I'm never gong to finish. That doesn't neccesarrily make me a bad writer, just a lazy one.

"Wow, d'ya see that chick?"

"She's hot!"

"Nice ass."

Leo looked up to see the source of the jocks' excitement. He was pretty miserable right now because Chiron had sent Annabeth, Piper and Jason on a quest, leaving Leo to go to school. He couldn't even hang out with Percy, Frank or Hazel because their school was on the other side of New York.

So Leo fell back into his old scheme: he cracked jokes, didn't care about lessons and hung around the jocks simply because they tolerated him as a jokester. He pushed his way through the crowd so he could if "that chick" was worth gaining him the other's laughs through another rejection.

"Ten bucks sais she won't talk to you, Valdez", one of the guys said, pushing Leo towards the girl.

He stumbled, caught himself, looked up and grinned.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" he asked Piper.

"Chiron asked me to stay near camp so when we came back yesterday I had asked him if I could stay with you. Can you help me move my stuff later?" Leo's grin got even wider and he hugged a rather surprised Piper. "Sure."

"Leo? What in Hades are we doing? The others are watching…" she asked blushing, although she hugged him back. Leo released her.

"Weeeeeell, a.) I'm really glad that you're here and b.) I just won 10 bucks by getting 'that hot chick' to talk to me, so cake's on me today."

"'Hot chick'?" Piper pulled a face and sneaked a glance at the other guys who were now openly staring at the pair of them.

"Come on, we'll get our lunch money and then let's get out of here. I hate everybody staring at us." With that she took Leo's hand and pulled him back to his 'friends' whose eyes looked like they were short of falling out.

"So guys", he grinned. "Who do I get the cash from?" Someone grumbling gave it to him and they turned to leave.

"Bet she's good in bed." They heard one of the boys stage-whisper.

Piper ignored the comment but Leo turned back to the group. It was one thing to trash-talk among buddies bus saying that kinda stuff to a girl was just disrespectful.

"What did you say?" He took a step towards the leader of the pack but that idiot just grinned back lazily.

"Chill, Valdez. I just complimented your hot catch!" His eyes traveled over Piper's body.

That is until said girl stepped forward and slapped him across the face. With a now red handprint on the cheek he stared disbelievingly at the two retreating figures' backs when Leo turned to him one last time.

"Just for you: She's my sister."

Sooooo... I hoped you like it. If you do: review. If you don't: review anyway and tell me how to write better.

See ya
