Leo POv
Sometimes I wonder whether or not I would be good enough for anyone to be around. Sure I had my group of friends that I always hang out with but most of the times it just seems that I annoy the the hell out of them. The only time they really talk to me is if they want there computer fixed or their car or something. I know I love to work with mechanics but sometimes it just gets to me. This is what I was thinking of when I sat in my room with my best friends Jason and Piper. We were all doing our homework assignments but at that point I couldn't get the reaction that Nico gave me out of my head. Ever since he got to Olympia High I had my eyes on him. He seemed so dark and mysterious and puzzling. Something I always liked was figuring out things work and fixing them when they broke and one thing for sure about Nico was that he was broken. I saw the hopelessness and insufferable amount of pain in his eyes. I saw in the way he walked that he just wished he could melt into the shadows. He wore all black clothes, the dark contrast to his pale complexion with a hint of an olive tone in it. His hair was just as jet black as his eyes.
But underneath all that dark mysteriousness I saw a teenage boy that suffered more pain than necessary. The only reason I knew this is because I've felt the same way as him for years. I shuddered at the memory of the dark lonely streets and the thin slices that criss-crossed along my arm. I rubbed at my inner forearm, trying to rub away the memories of why they were there.
Jason must have picked up at my unusual silence because I felt him tap me on my shoulder. My eyes snapped up at his face and electric blue eyes stared down at me.
"Leo, your quiet an your rubbing at your scars. What's going on up in that head of yours," said the tall blonde.
"I just can't stop thinking about Nico and his reaction towards me earlier." My friends were well aware of my tiny, not-so-tiny crush on Nico and they didn't judge. Piper perked up as soon as she heard the topic of discussion. Sometimes I think she is the daughter of Aphrodite by the way she acts when the topic of someones love life comes into play. Her and her two sisters Drew and Silena does this sometimes.
"What's this about this about Nico?" The cherokee girl inquired, a certain hint of mirth was displayed in her eyes.
"Oh, it's nothing," I said, my cheeks slightly flushed. "It's just that when I asked him if he wanted to be friends with me he just scowled and practically ran away. I know I can be annoying at times but I swear I didn't even crack my usual jokes or tease him. Am I just that repulsive to people?" Some of my old insecurities were starting show up again. Piper looked at me with sad eyes and moved to sit next to me, slinging her left arm around my shoulder and drawing me close.
"Oh, Leo, don't you ever think of yourself that way," she said. "Yeah repair boy. Your just as great as anyone else," Jason chimed in. "You are the self Bad Boy Supreme, Super Sized McShizzle, okay. Remember that."
"I know that guys. Thanks for the reminder." I said.
"And Leo," I looked at Piper, "As for the Nico thing, I think that maybe you should take it slow. He seems as the kind of guy who isn't used to people giving him positive attention so maybe he thinks of it as some kind of pity gesture. Just slowly get to know him and maybe he will respond to you with some positive energy." She smiled at my and patted me oh the back twice before getting up and going back t her homework.
Once again the beauty queen actually gave some pretty good advice. If Nico was like she said maybe we might get along much better than I thought. With that in my mind I went back do doing my homework assignment which I could finally focus on.
