Chapter Twenty - Five : Leo's POV

When I was out of Chrystal's view, I got to my knees and gripped my hair. What in Hades did I do?! I called Chrystal 'princess' just what came over me?! She confessed to me not too long ago and I kissed her on the forehead before. I began to worry; I mean the first person I dated was Piper. Yeah I dated Beauty Queen so what? It was before Jason came to the picture.

As I began to talk to myself I heard someone calling my name, I stood up and turned around to face the person. "Let's go, the song is about to start," Jason said.

I took a shaky breath, put on a fedora the principal gave to me and walked out to the stage. It started out with darkness. Jason and I lined side by side having our backs facing the audience at first.

{Listen to "I Knew I Love You" by Savage Garden}

The beat of drums, then the strings of a guitar played. The lights turned on slowly, but not fully. As the music picked up, Jason and I turned around. Here is how it started at first.

Jason: "Maybe it's intuition

But some things you just don't question"

Me: "Like in your eyes

I see my future in an instant"

Then the two of us continued singing together. We moved around, showing gestures on how we would care for our love. I imagined Chrystal and myself dancing around in a field of flowers laughing and smiling. As the song was ending, Jason and I took out the white rose from our breast pocket and pretended we smelt it.

Applause erupted from the stands, sweat poured down from my forehead. Who knew performing was hard. I could hear every girl squealing and yelling out our names. The lights dimmed, us to exit the stage and let our other friends sing.

When Jason and I exited, we immediately went to the girls who dressed in Greek clothing. Chrystal and the girls were talking about their performance. Jason and I walked up on our love and surprised them by putting our arms around them.

"Got you," I shouted at Chrystal.

"What?" Chrystal said feeling a bit surprised.

I rested my chin on her soft hair. She laughed saying it tickled her. Jason wrapped his arms around Piper and I did the same to Chrystal who was stuttering. "What did you think of our performance?" I asked.

"It was superb," Annabeth said.

"Could have done better," Thalia replied.

"Awesome," Cowgirl replied energetically, "Though I have a feeling you two were conveying your feelings towards your special someone."

I saw Karen elbowing the Cowgirl in the stomach. She replied in a blank and cold voice, "Thalia is right, you guys could've done better. But, you conveyed the message of the music clearly."

We thanked them, but waited for Piper and Chrystal's response. "You guys were superb," Chrystal said, "Though I don't think you knew me before you met me Leo."

I chuckled at the thought of it. Piper too said the same thing to Jason. I got off of Chrystal who now looked red. The principal then announced the girls turn to sing. I wished them luck.

When Chrystal entered the stage, I quickly gave her the white rose I held. I then stole a kiss from her and quickly ran away. As the song began to play, Chrystal looks blissfully at the rose.
