I'm Fine (High school AU) (COMPLETED)

Hot Tub Time

Leo

Jerome and I kinda stare at them a bit

"You know theres a thing called privacy right?" I ask them

Jason, Percy, Thalia and surprisingly Frank where on the ground looking at me

Frank stands up "well we wanted to make sure you where okay..." He says

I stare at him surprised I honestly thought he disliked me

I shake my head "Door Crashing Gang" I mumbled Jerome chuckles

"You are very funny Leo" he says smiling

I blushed and mumbled 'thanks' he grins at me

"It is not a problem" he says

There was silence before Jason spoke up "Leo.."

I interuppted him "food is done can you guys get the others" i said pointing at tacos

Jason looks at me but nods getting the message and grabs percy to get the others

Jerome helps me take it to the table and we sit down and eat quietly while the others join in

It was awkward silence for awhile i kept giving Jerome Im sorry looks but he smiles at me in a resurring way

Finally Percy said something " You like guys?"

Nico slaps his head Annabeth glares at her boyfriend

"Thats his business you dont just ask him about it" Nico glares knowing the feeling

Jerome looks amused at the situation of Percy getting lectured and so do I

Percy frowns "just a question" he mumbles but apologizes

I sigh might as well get this over with " yes i do. I pretended to like girls. Yes i knew you would accept me. Just wanted to be ready myself."

I then went back to eating food

Everyone seemed satisfied with that answer except Jason but something else was bugging him but he kept quiet 

When i got done and went to wash my dish Jason followed

"Why didnt you tell us you where in foster care" he asks

I drop my glass plate startled by that he caught it and looked at me concern

"You heard that?" I ask

He nods "i was the first one at the door no one else heard but me" he said

I sigh cleaning up the broken glass and Jason helps

"Wasn't comfortable talking bout it" I say

He looks at me "I guess I understand that but always know you have somewhere to go " he says

I smile and nod and I see Jerome walk in and I blush

Jason smirks and throws the glass away and walks away but runs the rest of the way and fell

Very smooth grace

Jerome looks the way Jason left "your friends are very amusing" he says

I laugh a bit "I guess so " I turned around to face him but he is so close to my I forget to breath

He smirks "you know I would very much like to take you to dinner tonight" he whispers

My face was probably very red

"What do you say to that Valdez" he asks looking in my eyes

I step back to breath and look down a bit
