Okayyy, so this is the second chapter of my story. And just to get something clear, I'm not being racist against Spanish people! Most of my friends are Spanish! So, yeahhhh(: What does a son of Hermes have to do with Giant bugs? You figure it out.
Dis to thahh Claimahhh: I do NOT own PJO or Heroes of Olympus...but Daisy Rodriguez is mine. Maybe...okay she is...(:
And I guess I own Marie too.
Chapter 2
Leo's POV
That was the best day ever. The whole day I got to hang around Daisy, who tried to bring Papi everywhere we went. Talk about a crazy chicken trying to kill you all day! I loved how we could have our own separate conversations in Spanish so no one could understand what we were saying. The looks on their faces are priceless. I couldn't help having this warm fuzzy feeling whenever she was around, which made me realize something. I think I seriously like her.
Now I know I've liked thousands of other girls in my past, specifically ones out of my league, but this one is different! She can actually stand to be around me.
(Time skiiiip!)
The next morning I caught up with Daisy. She was dressed in her usual: shorts, t-shirt, normal stuff. She spotted me and waved off the Apollo crew. I smiled and walked toward her. I had decided I was going to 'attempt' to ask her out. She looked stunning and I got weak kneed.
Here I go, I'm going do it. I'm going to ask her out.
She placed a hand in her hip and said, "So, what brings you over here, Valdez?"
"Hey Daisy. Um, I was gonna ask you...uh, you see, I kinda sorta-" I stuttered, feeling the awkwardness form around me. But she did something surprising. She placed a finger on my lips and smiled.
"Shhh, wanna go out sometime?"
"Uh, sure?" I muttered, shocked.
"Great then! Adiós!"
"Adiós." I just stood there dumbfounded. I must've looked pretty stupid because most of the campers that went by me gave me 'looks'. Then it hit me. Hey! Did she just asked me out? I know, that was a bit slow. Haha, but a girl actually likes me!
After breakfast Daisy and I both had Sword fighting together, which I was getting pumped for. You see, since she could whip my bootaay in archery, I hoped to have some luck in this class. I didn't want a girlfriend who could beat me in everything! That's just plain embarrassing, and unmanly.
After a few times working with a dummy, Daisy shook her head in dissaproval. I gave her a 'What? I'm doing my best!' look.
"Leo, you're supposed to hit the target, not totally miss it by a mile!" Daisy said using her instructing voice. Yes she has an instructing voice, which is used on me a lot.
"Oh come on! I'm great at sword fighting!"
"Great? More like needs improvement. You should stick to tools and whatever you do because you couldn't fight off a short bus full of nuns."
"Well that was hurtful," I said, giving her the sad face.
She crossed her arms and exclaimed, "Haha! My mother always told me to tell the truth!"
"Not if it hurts!" I sliced my sword toward her, she dogged and rolled around me, ramming her shield into my back. I fell in a very undignified manor.
"You mess with me, you finna get pulverized, foo!"
"Uh, yeah. Don't go ghetto on me please," she stuck out her hand and helped me up to her level. Our faces became centimeters apart again. I could smell peppermint, I inched closer toward her. Then the horn blew. I sighed, great timing. Sarcasm.
"Lunch time!" Someone called.
She let go and pulled away.
"Guess I'll see you later?" I asked.
She smiled and said, "Si, chico loco! Hasta luego," and kissed me on the cheek. The kiss made my face warm up, which was either my fire powers or embarassment. Probably embarassment.
Lunch was crazy. I mean very crazy.
I got my lunch, as usual. Gave offerings to my dad, as usual. I was just about to sit down and enjoy a very nutritious lunch when Marie, an Aphrodite girl, came and sat next to me.
"Heyyy Leo," she said, her face a little closer than I was comfortable with. I like my space.
"Um, hi? Aren't you supposed to be at your table? Eating? Your food?"
"Why yes! Aren't you a smart little boy!" she grabbed my cheek like mother and yanked it.
"Ow, why are you over here, Marie?" I asked awkwardly. This was getting awkward.
"Well, I just wanted to ask you, if you aren't doing anything later, maybe you would want to come hang out with me? In my cabin? Alone?" She raised her eyebrows and put on a puppydog face. She wanted to get together in her cabin alone? If I didn't have a specific girl on my mind I would've probably... hehe. Naaww.
"Are you trying to copy my questioning thing?" Then Daisy realized what was going on. She got up and marched over to our table. Thank the gods.
"Excuse me? What the heck are you doing gettin' all cozy with my man?" Daisy called me her man? Sweet. Anyway, she said it so loud everyone hushed and stare at us. Great, just what I need, an audiance.
Marie laughed, "Your man? Um, I believe he isn't taken yet," she grabbed my arm.
"Oh yes he is! Now get your grimy hands off!" Daisy grabbed my arm. Oh lord, not a cat fight please! I'm not that awesome to be fought over, well I am, but still!
Marie took out her earrings and other jewelry. Pffft, like Aphrodite girls can't fight! Daisy tied her hair back. If I wasn't totally freaking out I would've totally thought that was hot. The whole pavilion started chanting, 'Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!' I rushed between them and exlended my arms.
"Hey guys, can we just chill a bit. Everything's cool! Let's just sit down and talk this through-"
"Shut up Valdez!" Marie shouted, pushing me out the way. I held up my hands in defense.
"Oh, it's on like Donkey Kong! No one pushes my boyfriend!" Daisy yelled as Marie charged her fists lying. I told you Aphrodite girls can't fight.
If you have never seen a cat fight these are the basics: clawing, scratching, slapping, pulling hair, hitting, and most of all screaming. Jason came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Whoa. I never thought I'd see the day when two girls would fight over you, man!"
"Oh you're a real comedian." I rolled my eyes and Jason snickered.
The fight was starting to get intense. Marie grabbed Daisy's legs and flipped her onto the Aphrodite table, causing the Aphrodite girls to go nuts. Then she sarted slapping her across the continuously. Daisy did this cool ninja kick thing and sent Marie flying to the floor. I ran to Daisy who had jumped on top of her, punching her face. I tried to pull them apart but one of Marie's fists went haywire and hit me smack in the nose. I fell back onto the Hermes table, splattering food everywhere.
I touched my now blood covered broken nose and winced. I needed to end this fight.
