Okay, so. I remember having to write a small creative thing for my English class, so I figured why not do it on one of my favorite things, that being Uncle Rick’s (Rick Riordan) camps of trauma.
I also found that on the fan wiki it said an adorable little fact about Leo childhood, probably like my favorite character (tied with Percy, Apollo and Nico of course. I will NEVER be able to decide who I like more) “ He once got in trouble after turning a cross-section kidney and some skeleton legs into a kidney monster and scared the school nurse.”. It also said his named was shortened from Leonidas so, ye.
Now, I couldn’t ignore that. It was to adorable of a concept. so I wrote the write and now I have smol fic. I’ve recently found it again so I decided to post cause yes.
Please note that the characters most likely aren’t well in character, and that this is smol fic with not a lot of writing. It is also in Leo’s POV.

‘’Yes sir?’’
I don’t understand. All I did was make a cool toy out of the stuff the nurse had in her office. Her reaction to my little monster was pretty funny, everyone else thought it was hilarious. So I don’t understand what I did wrong.
‘’Leonidas Valdez’’
‘’Do you understand why you’re here?’’
‘’No sir, I don’t could you tell me, sir?’’
The principal frowned at me, I must of done something really bad then, but what? Either way, he looks funny. His grey, porcupine-like hair swayed gently in the breeze that was being emitted from the minuscule fan that sat on his desk. I could make a better fan though. I could make a fan that could pinpoint where you are in the room and then rotate to that direction, and on summer days it could spray a cloud of mist in your face to cool you down, and when it’s winter it could convert into a heater to warm you up, and-
‘’Leonidas Valdez! Are you listening?!’’
‘’Uh, y-yes sir! I’m listening!’’
The principals frown contorted into a frightening scowl, damn it, I’m really in for it now. I look down at my feet, mi Madre isn’t going to be impressed. A loud bang sounded out causing me to look up only to have an oddly shaped blurring thing shoved in my face.
When the strange object finally moved away from my face and started to solidify, did I realize what it was. It was my kidney skeleton monster toy!
‘’As I was saying Leonidas’’ he paused to give the scariest of death glares ‘’ you have destroyed valuable school property, turned it into a monstrosity and then used it terrorize a member of the staff!’’
As the words left his mouth I felt anger boil inside me, like a bomb ready to explode if someone cut the wrong wire. How DARE he accuse me of making something ‘monstrous’, how DARE he accuse me of ‘terrorizing’ a staff member! I did NEITHER of those idiotic things, the only thing I did was create one of the most coolest toys to ever exist!
‘’Sir, with all due respect, I did NOT do any of those awful things! I just made use of the resources around me and the toy I made just so happened to give the nurse a little scare! I’ve done nothing wrong!’’
‘’Leonidas sit down in your seat and be silent!’’
What? I hadn’t even realized I was standing up, I should sit so I don’t make him even angrier.
‘’Now, Leonidas, seeing as giving you a multitude of detentions isn’t enough, I’ve decided as punishment you will be given a week-long suspension as well as calling your mother about this issue, which I have already done, and she has asked to speak with me personally’’
‘’W-what?’’
‘’You heard what I said Leonidas, now be quiet’’
I stared down at my feet not believing what he just said, not taking notice of anything that was happening around me, not noticing the door open and close, not the small exchange of words or the chair next to me being filled with a familiar figure.
I only looked up when I felt someone else’s hand sweaty hand grab mine.
Mi Madre’s hand.
This is gonna be a really long afternoon.
. . .
‘’Mijo, look at me please’’
I was sitting on a chair next to one of mi Madre’s newer projects, fiddling with a few pieces of metal and wire. I don’t wanna have this conversation but I’m gonna have to at some point, right? Oh well, here goes nothing.
‘’M-mum look I d-didn’t mean to get in trouble a-and I’m sorry’’
Madre was silent. Why? Why wasn’t she saying anything? Is she that mad at me? I feel tears build up at the corner of my eyes. I. I need to look up…but. I can’t. If I look up I’ll only see a disappointed face, I don’t wanna see that.
‘’Mijo’’
I felt her cup my check in her hand and gently force me to look up at her. Her emotionless face is kinda scary.
‘’Mijo, I’m not mad, I’m proud of you’’ she looked at me with soft and caring eyes ‘’you stood up for something that you made in front of that horrid principle, and for that I’m proud’’
I can’t believe it she’s not mad, not even a little. I felt a smile form on my face.
‘’Now seeing as you have a week-long suspension Mijo, you can help me out in the shop’’
