"Leo! Geez, why didn't you answer? Did jerks try and hurt you? Do I need to come find you? Oh please tell me your okay!"

Leo stayed silent. Did she really care that much? He felt his cheeks firing up. No, that couldn't be it! She probably just thinks of him as a little brother or something. A lot of people do. Then again, when he'd joined the school, he stilled lived with his dad and had bruises all over, and he still wore his eye patch. That was when he'd met Clark and Blossom. But he never really got beat up by people at school, except last year where he'd stood up to some guy, and that guy's 'gang' got really pissed. Leo shivered, thinking about it.

"Just... Tell me your okay. What dorm are you in... Are you in your dorm yet?"

"I'm in my dorm, and I'm okay. Calm down, alright?" Leo sighed, trying not to look at Ceridwen. Wouldn't she just laugh at him for going even slightly pink? Probably, but in a nice way. He gave Blossom the dorm number. "Ceridwen here, by the way. Just don't want you to be surprised that there's a little monster lurking around." Leo winked at the girl, before going back to Blossom.

"I'm fine. Those guys left the school last year, remember?" Leo carefully chose his words, he hadn't told Ceri what had happened last year. He really didn't want to worry her, so he'd told her 'Things happen, people get hurt. That person happened to be me this time.' and she'd stopped asking.
