Got around to writing this chapter.
DISCLAIMER: Don't own the characters, just the story
...
I wanted to drown out all the noise from the trip, but of course that wasn't going to happen. Roughly about a quarter of the way through the trip my phone died, putting a stopping end to my music that I was using to ignore those around me. So with a huff, I took my ear buds out of my ears and set them in my pocket.
"Dude," Leo whispered from the seat in front of me.
"What?" I hissed back, a little more aggressive than what I meant to.
"How are things going?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows.
I gave him a confused look before snarling at him, but he only laughed more.
"Phone die?"
"Yeah," I mumbled back, shifting again in my seat.
"Thought so. You haven't taken them out for a while, so I was confused on the sudden change."
"It sucks, now I have to listen to everyone for the next three-ish hours."
Leo turned back in his seat and fumbled around in his pocket until he turned back and waved a charger in front of my face.
"When we get off, you can borrow it," he said, putting back into his bag.
"Thanks," I told him, but he waved it off before facing forwards again.
The ride was bumpy as the sun slowly made it's presence known in the sky. Every so often someone in the upper rows would start humming a song that would slowly turn into a full on ensemble of drama students breaking out into song. When fatigue finally settled into everyone's bones and silence fell onto the moving bus, I thought I had finally gotten some peace and quiet. But I was sadly mistaken.
"Yo, Will," Jason called out from beside me to Will on my other side.
"What?" he called back, turning his phone screen off and setting it on his lap before leaning on the window and facing the other blonde.
"So, I heard that Danielle ask you out the other day," he said, earning Percy's attention.
"Oh yeah," he said, voice relaxing.
"Hot," Percy added, nodding his head.
"Totally," Will replied, kicking his feet up next to me on the seat.
I wanted to run, to get out of there, but I couldn't and I was stuck in the middle .
"What'd you say?" Jason asked, shifting more along side Percy so they could talk more face to face.
"Nothing much," Will stated nonchalantly. "She has a great body, but she goes out with everyone."
"Yeah," Percy agreed, nodding his head.
"Heard she slept with Ethan. T behind Cole's back last summer," Jason added.
"Sleep with who you want, but don't go sleeping behind other's back."
All three boys nodded in understanding. I was stuck sitting in the middle of this conversation and I had no where to run to. Leo turned around and gave me a look of pity and grinned.
"Dude," Ethan Nakamora turned around, half standing in his seat, "you talking about Danielle?"
"Oh yeah," Percy replied, shifting to see over the seat.
"Dude, she a hoe!"
The boys nodded collectively in agreement.
What could I have possibly done to deserve this?
...
By the time we got off the bus, I was starving. I was more than ready to get something to eat. So, Leo and I made our way over to one of the fast food joints that was near by when the teacher let us off for lunch.
When we both sat down with our food, Leo let out a heavy sigh.
"Why are you sighing?" I asked, raising a brow.
"Do you understand how hard it is to act cool around Callie?" he asked, taking a giant bite of his burger.
"Oh really? You have the problem?" I asked back, sarcastically. I stole one of Leo's fries and ate it.
"Oh yeah."
"Uh huh," I mouth back, nodding my head very slowly. "'Cause your seating arrangement is so much worse than mine."
"Duh! You aren't the one siting with your future wife," he spoke through the food in his mouth.
"You have something..." I pointed to the side of my face where he had some sort of sauce smeared a crossed on his own. I made a face of disgust as he wiped it away, but only dragging it more on his face. I couldn't help but laugh at that. "No..."
"Now?" He wiped again, missing some.
I shook my head at him, stealing some more fries.
After attempting to wipe it once again, he held his hands up to ask if he had gotten it to which I nodded my head and laughed as he went back to shoving his mouth full of burger.
"Have you even seen my seating arrangement?"
"What? You think you're goin' to marry one of them?" he asked with a lazy eyebrow raise.
"Dude, do you even hear yourself?"
"Seriously. But just imagine: you and a fuckboy. My god. I would eat my own shoe if that happened?"
"What," I started, "not only do you predict that I'll be gay, but that I'll marry one of those fuckboys?"
"And I will eat my shoe when the time comes," Leo replied, proud of himself in a way.
"Oh yeah, and when it happens, me and my husband will go to you and Callie's wedding together," I shot back sarcastically. Leo laughed at first, but looked a little pained, placing his grease-covered hand over his heart in fake hurt, the other still holding the burger.
"You don't think Callie and I will be together?" he asked, dramatically pained.
"I didn't say that," I replied, taking a sip from my soda.
"What? So my love life relies on you and a fuckboy getting together?"
I only shrugged.
Leo threw a fry at me, sticking his lower lip out. I only replied with a laugh, trying to cover myself from the projectile.
"So which one, huh? Percy?" he asked, amused.
"Cute, but not my type," I replied back sarcastically, waving my hand in a flamboyant way.
"Jason?" I could only laugh in reply, forcing my head to shake back and forth.
Leo gasped in a over-dramatic way. "Will? My gosh, are you, Nico di Angelo, into blondes?"
"Who's into blondes?"
Both of us turned to face the voice. Almost all of the air left my lungs as Jason looked at the two of us with a tray in hand, Percy making his way over with his and Will sitting down at the table beside ours.
I tried to speak, but I wasn't sure how much Jason had heard of our conversations.
"Dude," Will called out as he got up from the table and stood beside the other blonde. "What's up?"
"Apparently someone's into blondes," Jason informed him
"Who's into blonde?" Will repeated what Jason had originally asked.
"Dunno."
I wanted to hide. Of course they would be here, because why wouldn't they?
By this time, Percy had wandered over with his tray of food in hand; two burgers sat atop.
"What's going on?" he asked, setting his tray on the table.
"Nico wont tell us who's into blondes," Jason said.
"I am," Percy pondered, almost as if it was an afterthought.
Jason nudged him with his elbow, hitting him in the ribs, earning a huff from Percy.
"Idiot," Will mumbled under his breath.
"Hey," Percy called out, trying to slap Will upside the head, but the blonde had moved out of the way instead.
"So?" Jason blurted out, adjudicated, hoping to stop his two friends.
In a state of panic, I almost blurted out what Leo and I had just talked about, but thankfully he came in and saved the day.
"Ethan," Leo stated calmly, taking a bite of his burger. The three boys looked at one another, each confused. "I heard he's into blondes and that explains his massive crush on Luke."
"Castellan?" Percy asked, brows brought together.
"Uh huh," Leo said, "But you didn't hear it from me."
The three of them looked at one another before a collective nod, signalling that they were all satisfied with the answer. They took their seats at the table and went about what they were doing. Every so often I heard a mention about Ethan escape their table's reach.
"Dude, what was that about?" I asked Leo in a hushed voice.
"What?"
"The thing with Ethan? Where did you come up with that?"
"Oh that," he laughed, wiping his hands on a napkin. "That, my friend, is not a lie."
I stared at him in disbelief, trying to make sense of it.
"What?"
"Yup," he said, placing the napkin on his tray after wiping his mouth and crumbling it up into a ball. "Heard it from Drew, and if there's one thing I know, if it's about love, Drew is never wrong."
Out of everything I wanted to say, I just left it, not too sure on how to respond properly to it. I just shook my head as I watched Leo smirk as he took a sip from his soda.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. i know it's short, but you still love me for posting.
I hope all of those families that were effected by the Orlando mass-shooting are okay. It really pains me to hear about it. It's hard to think that someone could be that blind to be able to do something to such an extreme, then i remember how things are falling apart. We are basically living through the civil rights movement right now, no matter how hard it is to think that.
I wrote this instead of studying for my finals, especially the one i have tomorrow. woops.
Thanks for sticking around for another chapter of what i like too call "Trash: the Story." You are all so amazing for sticking around. Random thought, i knew how to write Excalibur before i knew how to write sword.
I love all of the reviews, especially when you guys tell me your thoughts on the chapter. (and trust me, i know mt grammar is shit. i'm dyslexic and im trying) Every time i get a review, it's like my will power in life. So please, keep it up!
