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. However, he turned her down and made her realize that who she truly loves is her best friend, Leo. Will she finally let her true feelings out? Or will she bury them deep in her heart, never to see light?

Story:

Calypso looked everywhere in the library, but Leo was nowhere to be found.

"Maybe he's at the Mechanic's Clubroom?" She thought. She headed toward a small garage near the school where some students go when doing some mechanical projects for their club. Leo would tend to be there every now and then but due to his... wild ideas, he was not allowed to work on any projects there. Instead, he tends to help out the other students when they ask for his help.

Calypso looks around to find Leo. Then suddenly, someone spoke inside. Calypso peeked in the garage and saw Leo with another girl. A club member named Jessie. She has brown hair and wears a little bandanna on her forehead. She's wearing a jumpsuit that all club members wear when they're in the garage.

'What's going on?' Calypso thought.

"So... I... I like you... for a very long time."

Calypso's heart stopped for a second and realized what was going on. Leo was getting confessed by a girl. She's panicking, fearing that Leo will accept her confession. That Jason was wrong and he doesn't see her as a lover.

"So... will you go out with me?" She asked. It was quiet for a moment, putting suspense on his answer.

"Yeah, I'd love that."

Calypso lost her breath and her heart just stopped instantly, as if it shattered into many pieces and was unable to be rebuilt. Tears were starting to fall on her cheeks and before anyone could spot her, she ran off.

She failed.

She should've realized the truth of her feelings a long time ago and confessed to him. He was always by her side through thick and thin. He was there for her when she was heartbroken; he was there when she got her first period; he was there when she was grieving the loss of her sister. He was there when she needed help with her garden and fixed up her tools as well. He was always there for her. And now... he won't be anymore. He'll be too busy with his girlfriend and won't make time for her. And the thought alone is unbearable.

Meanwhile, back at the garage.

"And Scene!" Leo said. "And that's how you'll confess to him, okay?"

Jessie sighs, "Leo, there's no point in practicing! I'm just gonna make a mistake and end up stuttering on my words!"

Calypso was unaware that Leo was actually helping Jessie practice her confession to her crush.

"Besides, I'm not even that pretty."

"Looks aren't everything, Jessie. Plus I think you have a fair amount of charm on you. Look, the guy you like seems like he's totally into you. I mean, he practically comes and visits everyday just to see you. There's literally no reason for anyone to come here unless it's us club members. Look... If a guy like me can get a girl like Khione, then you'll definitely hit it off with your crush."
