Summary:

Leo and Calypso have been neighbors and friends since kindergarten. The two were inseparable all the way to high school. However, in their Junior years, Calypso was about to confess to her crush, Percy Jackson. Will Leo accept this and continue being just her friend? Or will he finally let out what his heart truly desires?

Story:

Our story begins in the school library, with Jason sulking next to our dynamic duo.

"Ugh, Jason, just go ask her out," Leo said. "The worst thing she can say is no."

"You don't get it, Leo!" Jason replied. "Piper McClean is the most amazing woman I ever met!"

If you guys are wondering, Jason Grace has a huge crush on one of the Dance team leaders, Piper McClean. Jason is the school's main quarterback in the Football team. He developed feelings for her when they were partnered up for a school project in Sophomore years and since then, he was lovestruck. Even his (other) best friend, Reyna, was being annoyed by it.

"Dude, even Reyna is telling you to ask her out and she used to have a crush on you!"

"Oh no, she did not. She has a crush on my sister, I saw how she looks at her."

Leo groaned as Calypso was next to him, reading a book.

"Jason, you're like one of the hottest guys in this school. And that's coming from me!"

"That's not saying much," Calypso replied, getting a snort from Jason and a scoff from Leo.

"Point is, she'd be crazy not to date you. So what's the problem?"

Jason replied, "Three reasons. First, she's Bi."

"How is that a problem?" Leo asked.

"It means I have TWICE the competition. Have you seen the girls she hangs out with? How can I compete with that?"

"Fair enough, what else?"

"Second, I'm boring as hell. I'm just your every Jock stereotype into one person. I don't have anything to stand out. Piper, on the other hand, is amazingly unique. She's funny, carefree, beautiful in a messy way, thoughtful to her friends, and-"

"Okay, Jason, we got it," Calypso intervened. "What else?"

Jason was quiet for a moment but blushed.

"Jason?" Calypso called.

"...I never went on a date before..."

Leo laughed.

"Shut up! It's not that funny, man!" Jason yelled.

"Oh it is VERY funny! I mean, one of the most popular guys in school has never been on a date in his entire life? That's just hilarious!"

Jason blushed harder and hid his face with arms as he faced down on the table with defeat.

"See? It's hopeless."

"Don't give up, Jason," Calypso said. "Just make an effort and at least try to ask her out. I did it on my crushes."

"Yeah, and just like how they all rejected her, I'll be here to cheer you u- OW!"

Calypso jabs Leo on the side.

She used to have many crushes in the past. First, there was Odysseus who was a Senior last year, he was the smartest and was the most handsome man by standards. They went on a couple of dates, but Odysseus rejected her confession because it turns out he already has a girlfriend. It devastated her. Then came Drake, an ambitious and carefree man who made Calypso feel alive and adventuristic. But, he rejected her too because he already had eyes for someone else. Twice she was rejected and was only as good as "Second best". It took her months to move on; and now, she has another crush.
