Leo POV-
I woke up this morning to the espn radio. Groaning, I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Great, another day at the glorious Moonside High. Another day of seeing Piper with Jason. You see, I, Leo Valdez, the seventeen-year-old science geek, am completely and utterly in love with my best friend, Piper McLean. Unfortunately, the same Piper who's boyfriend is my other best friend, Jason Grace. And I can't tell her that I love her, because of how happy she is with Jason. It's obvious she loves him.

So, just because I love her, every morning I plaster a smile on my face and joke-away like nothing's wrong. When inside, my heart's breaking every second I see her with Jason. Utter crap and cliche stuff I have to go through everyday, but its my life.

Getting out bed, I quickly brushed my teeth before heading out to the pavilion. Mr.D had let light snow fall, so Camp Half-Blood was covered in white. I summoned fire and flames danced across my hand. The Hephaestus cabin glowed red against the snow. "Leo! Hold on!" Piper ran towards me while I stopped walking. She stopped in front of me.

A grin appeared on my face without me knowing, this always tended to happen when Piper was around. "Hey Beauty Queen!"

Jason stopped next to her, putting an arm around her waist. I winced slightly, Piper must've noticed because she asked, "What's wrong?" Her beautiful features morphed into a worried face.

I sighed mentally, 'Oh, nothing, it's just that I'm in love with you, but my life sucks so much, your in love with my best friend'. "Nothing, Beauty Queen, don't worry. The fire just burned me a bit, that's all." Piper frowned, but let it go. She knew I couldn't be burned by fire. That's another reason I loved her, she knew me better than anyone.
"Okay... Can Jason and I walk with you?" I almost wanted to tell them off because they were basically rubbing it in my face that they were dating, but I couldn't. The funny thing that I failed to mention was that Jason knew I was in love with Piper. In all honesty, he was just dating her as a fallback girl. Reyna broke up with him because she had to move back to San Francisco for praetor business. Technically Jason was a praetor too, but he couldn't go, with all of his responsibilities here. So he stayed while she left.

But Jason changed. When he first started dating Piper, he still moped around a bit about Reyna, then, he started becoming colder. He started to care less and less. Soon enough, his heart turned into a big block of ice, and he didn't care about anyone. Not even Piper. Piper didn't notice, of course. She was so happy with Jason, that she didn't pay attention at all. Then, Jason sunk even lower. He started to cheat on Piper.

Behind her back, he had hook-ups, other girlfriends, and kissing parties with other girls. I'd found out when I saw him sucking a girl's face off behind the bleachers. Your probably saying, 'Why didn't you tell Piper? Don't you love her?', and yes, I do love Piper, which is exactly why I can't tell her. It would break her heart. I can't do that to her. Jason knew that, too. That's why he kept on seeing other girls.

On our way up the hill, Jason shot me a smug smile. He knew why I winced. I can't believe I still consider him one of my best friends. Lacy, Piper's half-sister, skipped up the hill and attached herself to my arm. "Hey Piper, Jason! Hheeyy Lleeoo." She purred in what she thought was seductively. I mentally recoiled.

"Um, hi, Lacy." She giggled, flashing her pink braces. Her blonde pigtails shook slightly. I grimaced. Piper notice my discomfort and tried not to laugh, but she failed and let out a snort. "So, Leo, who are you going to Winter Formal with?"

She wanted me to ask her. Winter formal is the biggest thing for girls, it's like if you don't get asked to it, you face utter humiliation for the rest of the year or something. When I first heard that, the only thought that ran through my head was , 'What?'.

It was funny to think that girls', Piper's, mind worked like that. Mentally laughing at that thought, but physically grimacing, I managed a nervous smile at Lacy, "Er, I'm not really planning on going."

Lacy's face fell noticeably, but she quickly plastered a smile on her face. "Oh, so what about you Piper? Are you and Jason going together?" Lacy knew about Jason. Basically everyone in camp knew. No one wanted to tell Piper though.

"Of course! We're late, so, see you later? And you, Leo?" I managed a quick nod and the couple headed off.

Lacy's face twisted into a frown. "What does Piper see in that boy? Jason's just using her. She deserves better, she deserves you, Leo." SHe looked at me meaningfully. I put on my best suprised face.

"What do you mean?" I nervously laughed.

Lacy sighed, "Anyone can see that you love her, not just daughters of Aphrodite." She looked over at Piper's receding body and tsked. "What a dense girl, not even seeing the fact that someone who truly loves her for her is right in front of her. Leo, don't give up. I don't think it's only you that has feelings." With that, Lacy skipped off up the hill. My mind was reeling from that last sentence. I don't think it's only you that has feelings. No, Piper can't have feelings for me, can she?

I shook my head, trying to clear it of all thoughts. Guess I'll never know.

Plastering a fake smile onto my face, I headed up the hill for breakfast.
