Sami:
Later that day after lunch I found Piper by the strawberry fields. Everybody was training so we were alone.
"Piper I need to talk to you. It's super important." I sat as I sit down next to her.
"Sure. What's up." She replies while giving me an odd look.
"It's about Leo."
"What'd he do now?"
"No, no. It's nothing like that. It's actually kind of my fault." I say. I then go on to explain to her about how we met in capture the flag and how he fixed my bow for me. Then I told her about the note and how we would meet at night after curfew.
"So you have been secretly meeting Leo after curfew?" I nod, "That's so romantic!" She says.
"That's not the problem.." I start to say.
Piper cuts me off and excitedly asks, "Have you kissed him yet!?"
"Ya."
"Is he a good kisser?"
"Piper! I don't have time for this. I have a serious problem and I need your help."
"Ok shoot, I'm all ears." She says. I gather all my strength and explain what happened after she left a few days ago. I try my best not to cry but I can't help it and I start to tear up.
After all of that she says, "So why'd you wanna keep it a secret?"
"I don't know." I speed up when I say, "I've never had a boyfriend, I never had even kissed a boy before I started meeting Leo. I don't know if I'm ready but I really like him and now I've messed everything up." I start to cry but this time I don't hold it back.
"Pull yourself together and stop crying." She commands. I stop and look at her. "You need to just tell Leo the truth."
"I can't. How do I tell him that. He probably hates me." I sob.
"No he doesn't, you just need to explain to him." She says and she starts to add some charm speak into her voice, "You are going to go find Leo and tell him exactly what you told me. You need to be completely honest and then come back and tell me how it goes. Ok?" I nod, that sounded like a great idea. I know it was probably because of the charm speak but before I could stop myself I was up and walking towards the woods. I looked behind me to see Piper smiling triumphantly.
I walk toward the Argo II and find Leo studying some blueprints. He looks up and sees me. A look of surprise crosses his face but it is soon replaced with a quizzical look. He silently walks over to me.
"I need to talk to you." I say.
"I was thinking the same thing." He replies.
"I'm so sorry Leo. I'm not embarrassed by you and I do want people to see us together. It's just, I've never had a boyfriend before and I'm nervous. I know I'll do something wrong but I really like you and you probably hate me now." I stop and take a deep breath. I look at him and he just stands there shocked. We stare at each other for a couple of seconds before I burst out crying again. Leo puts his arms around me and I melt into him. I sob against his shoulder until he pushes me off of him. He wipes my tears away with his thumb and he looks me in the eyes and says;
"Don't worry Sunny, you're doing everything right." He then pulls me close and kisses me. You have to believe me when I say it was the best kiss ever!
After that Leo and I decided not to have anymore secrets. We are sitting in the sun by the river while everyone else trained. Technically only I am braking the rules because Leo is allowed to skip training so he can work on the Argo II. There's nobody better than Leo to brake the rules with though!
"I still can't believe you've never had a boyfriend before." Leo said.
"Get over it! It's not that big of a deal." I say.
"It's just hard to believe."
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"I've never kissed anyone before you."
"So I was your first kiss." He says as he lifts his eyebrows.
"Ya!"
"Your lying."
"No."
"Well then. How'd you become such a good kisser?" I can feel myself blush and Leo grins before saying, "Come here Sunny." He wraps his arms around me and we kiss. I'm so happy we don't have to hide anymore.
We walk back towards the cabins hand in hand. Leo puts his arm around my waist forcing me to walk closer to him. I can see Brett in the distance. He kisses his "spring fling" on the cheek. I'm still not sure if I can call her his girlfriend. He walks over to us and scans Leo and I with his eyes. He smiles then says, "Even Sami's got a spring fling!"
I roll my eyes, "We had nothing to do with that. Who's idea was that anyways?"
"Yours truly." He says with a smirk.
"I should've know. Leo's not a spring fling though, we were together before you came up with all this nonsense."
"Well why didn't I know about this?"
"It's a long story. We were kind of a secret, then we broke up but now we're back together." Leo says, squeezing me tighter when he ends the sentence.
"Who broke up with who?" Brett asks.
"Why does it matter?" I respond.
"Because it's my job to brake anyone who hurts my little sis." Brett says. I laugh at Leo's expression. I know he's thinking about how he technically broke up with me.
"Brett's full of it." I tell Leo.
Brett grins then pats Leo on the head and says, "Be a good boy." Leo looks at him with an awkward and confused expression.
"He's crazy." I tell Leo, "I'm the same age as him."
"No I'm a month older!" Brett says before walking away.
Once Brett is gone Leo asks, "Doesn't he brake up with his girlfriends after like a week?"
I laugh, "Like I said he's crazy. Plus he never dates anyone with feelings."
"How does that work?"
"You don't go out with Brett if you're looking for a relationship."
"Ok then." He says right before the dinner bell rings.
Dinner is better than the last few dinners I'd had. I scrap some of my food into the fire and pray for nothing to change. I laugh and joke with my cabin mates and Brett tells everyone I have a boyfriend. I just smile and laugh at the boys who make jokes about it. I gossip with the girls and braid Jesse's hair. When dinner is over the whole camp gathers around the camp fire. I sit in between Leo and Brett. Brett sits with his "spring fling". I should really find out her name. Jason and Piper sit beside Leo. Jason has his arm around Piper and she looks really happy. The Apollo Cabin leads the camp songs. I sing and play my guitar as the rest of my cabin does hand signs. Soon the whole camp is singing along. I lean over my guitar and kiss Leo. Piper smiles. It is no longer a secret.
Once the camp fire was over Leo walks me back to my cabin. I place my guitar on the porch and wrap my arms around him.
"Good night." He says with a smile.
"Good night." I say back and kiss him quickly on the cheek.
"You missed."
"Maybe tomorrow." I say as I push him away.
He laughs and says, "See ya tomorrow then." He then turns and walks away. I'm about to go inside when I hear a noise come from the forest. I glance over my shoulder and silently slip into the woods. I hear boys voices and then a grunt of pain. I walk toward the noise then I hear short scream and I start to run. I get to a clearing where I find a bunch of guys and Em. One boy stands off to the side holding his jaw the others crowd around Em. She is lying on the ground holding her side in pain.
"Hey!" I shout. The guys turn and look at me.
"Get out of here!" The one guy says back.
"Make me." I say calmly. I can see Em pulling something out of her pocket.
"Get the bitch!" The one guy yells. All three of them advance on me. The first one strikes but I duck under his arm. I turn around and grab his arm and flip him onto the ground. I turn around and kick the second guy where it counts. He doubles over in pain. Before I can stop him the third guy bangs me against a tree. He holds me by my neck, he is slowly cutting off my air. He wouldn't kill me would he? I can see black spots in my vision and I know I'm gonna pass out. Then all of a sudden he screams and I fall hard to the ground. I look up to see Em with her lighter in hand. The boy screams again and I can see a long burn mark across his face. The second guy hits me in the nose and I can feel the blood running onto my lip. I twist around and kick him hard in the chest. He falls just as Chiron and Brett run (and trot, I guess?) into the clearing. I look at Em and all she says is, "Shit..."
