Imperfect

No one POV
Leo doesn't know what to think anymore. No one actually cared about him, other than his mom. Sure he had friends, but none of them ever ask how he actually felt. They all thought he was just the class clown. But who could blame them. Leo would hide how he actually felt with laughter and no one would ever doubt him. He was feeling a mix between joy and sadness from that small text message.

Leo POV
...

"Wake up, wake up, wake up Leo!" My head hurts. I could barely sleep last night and now I had to be woken up by my foster siblings. Yup, I am an orphan. I know what your think. Why would a loveable guy like myself be in the foster system? Well to answer your question, my mom died in a tragic fire accident when I was only seven. After that I was shipped to multiple foster houses, but no one ever wanted to keep me. Even my social worker thinks I'm a lost cause; and sometimes I think his right.

"Alright I’m up now," I say to them. "Tell Joe and Lindsey that I'm going to skip breakfast today." Both of them ran out of my room and I got ready for school.

"Morning Leo. Are you sure you don't want to eat with us today?" I turn to see Lindsey at my door with a worried face. She and Joe had took me in when no one else wanted me. They have been nice to me and all, but they’re super religious and thinks everyone are sinners, especially gays. I don't understand why they would think that. They are human beings too, but everyone in school and this house think they're horrible.

"It's okay, I'll just eat at school." I quickly grad my bags and ran out of the house. Before I left the house, I could hear Lindsey yelling god knows what anymore.

No one POV
...
Leo's day couldn't get worst. First, he forgot to do his homework last night and received a scolding from his teachers. Then, he just found out he was already failing math, his worst subject, and if he didn't get it up by the end of the week, he would have to come back to school on the weekends until he makes it up. He hated the idea of waking up early on his resting days.
"Hey Leo, what's wrong?" Leo turned to see Kevin and Nico standing behind him. He could not say anything, so instead he gave the letter the school gave him earlier. "Oh, so you're just failing math," Kevin said with a sigh. "If it just this, I can help you."

"Wait, you can tutor me?" Leo asked with eyes curious to see what Kevin was thinking.
"Yeah, you're actually in luck. Math is my strongest subject."

"Thank you so much dude." Leo could stop smiling and jumping. He jumped right at Kevin and gave him a big hug. He didn't what people thought of him at the moment. He was too overwhelm with joy for not coming to school on a Saturday. "I promise you won't regret it." With that, the Latino boy ran to his next class leaving the two boys stunned.

...

Nico POV
...

"Hey Nico, you want to hang out with me this weekend?" I could not say anything to Percy.

Just before, I was walking down the hall, when someone grabbed me by my arm and dragged me to an empty classroom. I was ready to kick this stranger right in the balls, until I recognized it was Percy. I only stood there frozen as a statue. Percy had pinned me to the wall causing us to be close to each other. Too close. Close enough that it can make my heart skip a beat. I could not look at him in the eye. My face had turned red and I prayed that Percy did not notice.
"Okay – I guess that's fine" I finally said. I don't understand why Percy would want to hang out with me. Maybe he actually wants to be friends? The thought kept on twirling in my head causing me stop thinking about anything to else, but him. By the time I finally looked up, I only saw Percy's face with a huge grin. I feel that Percy’s eyes can melt even the coldest of hearts. God he looks hot.

"Great then, I'll text you the details later." Percy left the room leaving me totally speechless.
My whole body could not stop shaking. My legs felt like they turned to jello and were going to collapse on me. I had to admit, Percy can really make a person’s heartbeat to speed up.

…

My heart was still beating rapidly from what Percy did earlier. I couldn’t focus on anything during class. By the time I snapped out of it, it was already lunchtime. I still didn’t understand why Percy would want to hang out with me. Maybe Kevin can figure out what happened. I quickly got up and dashed to the cafeteria to talk to Kevin.

I ran to where we usually sit and saw Kevin talking to a red head. When I got closer, I noticed it was Rachel. I just stood there for a while, until Rachel turned her head and noticed me. “Hey Rachel, how was your trip to London?” I said to the perky red head.

Rachel Dare is the few people in this school who don’t talk shit about us. But because she talks to us, she became an outsider just like us. We both felt bad for doing that to her, but she would insist that it wasn’t our fault and that enjoys the solitude (I guess that is one of the benefits of being unpopular.) Rachel was rarely at school due to her father’s overseas trips; and when she was here, she would usually spend her time in the art room and draw. I guess that’s the only place she can do that since her father disapproves of her drawings. He insists (and when I mean insists, I mean demands) of her to go to Harvard and study law, rather than letting her go to an art school like she wants to.

“It was good. I missed you guys though. How’s school going?” she said then turned to me, “I heard you’re partnered up Percy Jackson.” She winked at me and then gave me a smirk. “So you’re going after the popular type huh.”

“No! And that doesn’t concern you Rachel,” I glared at her.

“Ha-ha,” Kevin laughed and then turned to me, “Relax Nico, you know she was just kidding. There is no need to deny it so strongly.” My face was flushed at what Kevin just said. He was right. There is no reason to get agitated over what Rachel just said. This is stupid, of course I have no feeling for Percy. I don’t know why, but just thinking about that makes me feel like my heart sunk. I have no feelings for him, right? I don’t know why I’m doubting myself. There should be no reason for me to have feelings for him.

Before I could think anymore, I heard two familiar voices coming from behind me. “Nico, Kevin, what are you guys talking about?” I turned around to see Percy and Leo standing behind me. Percy saw my troubled face and misunderstood. “Wait don’t tell me – is someone picking on you again. If it is that damn Drew, I will kick her ass –”

Before Percy could finish, Rachel interfered to talk. “No one is picking on him per se,” she turned to Percy and shook their hands, “hi my name is Rachel. Thank you two for taking care of my two puppies for me.” I turned to her and gave her my best glare, but she ignored it and continued to talk to them. “I’m surprise though, what do we have the honors for two godly figures like you two to talk to us. Your mere presences is a great honor to be bestowed by us, outsiders.” Rachel’s attempt them caused Kevin and I to burst out laugh.

Leo joined in on the fun and replied, “Oh lowly creature, we are here to eat our meals and to have some fun. I might say, we are tired of the gaudy atmosphere of the so called “popular group” and wish to talk with our mighty mates, the Ghost King Nico and the Dark Angel Kevin.” Kevin and I both looked at each other at that response. We both thought that Leo’s nickname for us really suited Kevin and me. I was shocked that even Leo thought of Kevin as a dark angel. I would over hear Kevin’s cousins joking about him being a dark angel since his middle name was Angel and he was a force to be mess with. Ghost King huh. I like the ring of that.

“Not bad,” Rachel said, “Well take whatever seat you want. I would love to talk to the two of you.” Leo sat next to Kevin and Percy sat next to me. Percy was sitting a little bit too close to me. Too close actually. I blushed at the thought of Percy being close to me. Rachel saw me and thought it would be okay to mock me. “Nico are you okay?” she said sarcastically. Everyone at the table looked to see what was going on.

“Not really I think I’m running a fever. I should go to the nurse office.” I got up, but before I could go, Rachel grabbed and gave me a fake smile.

“Nonsense Nico, we can’t have you going by yourself.” I HATED what this conversation was leading to. “Percy can you be a dear and take Nico.” I green-eyed boy understood and took my hand, leading me to the nurse office. I am SO getting revenge to Rachel for this. Before we left the cafeteria, I turned and saw Rachel and Kevin smiling and felt glares coming from multiple girls.

Notes

Hey guys, if you read my previous author note, you would know that I had made a mistake when setting up my chapters. I have finally corrected it so that this would be the actual chapter 4 and the one that is actually chapter 3 is already up. It is called The Text Message."

So this chapter is really a filler chapter sorry. It was meant to show some more insight on who the characters are (OCs or Original Characters) and to make them more human.

But don't worry soon there will be some more drama that all you people love to read our favorite characters endure.
