Hullo! Since I'm SO amazing, I'm going to update again, and it isn't even Monday!

Leo

I was so pissed off with the gods. First of all, they stick me in a war with Gaea, where I might have died. They make me end up in Calypso's island, who I end up liking. Then, the council on Mount Olympus includes every Roman and Greek demigod who helped in the war, EXCEPT FOR ME! They give each of the seven a wish, Annabeth chooses wisdom (like ENDLESS WISDOM, solution to every problem), Percy choses control over the sea(THE WHOLE ENTIRE OCEAN), Jason choses control over the sky, Piper choses control over relationships, Frank choses control over who wins a war, and Hazel choses control over all the dead. EXCEPT FOR ME! And my godly parent doesn't even stand up for me. Do you see where I'm going with this?

Jason was about to tell his snotty dad to get me there too, but I told him not too. That might've even used up his wish. I couldn't let him do that for me. Percy was about to make a wish to get Calypso back for my sake, but I convinced him not to. Even though he'd already had a wish, it wouldn't be fair. He'd earned both rewards.

On top of all this, I have to go on ANOTHER quest. If I don't get a wish for this quest, I'm going to cut up Hephaestus into pieces and throw them into Tartarus. If he returns, I'm going to make sure me and Percy Jackson beat him to PULP!

And I was left as the lamest demigod in the world.

When I woke up in the morning, my first word was a laugh. I immediately thought about Monsieur Hogwarts (my french wasn't bad, you think I could beat Piper?), and I thought of pigs.

I went to breakfast, chatted with Nyssa and Jake, gave the gods an M+M rapper by burning it where the fire was usually lit at dinner, and I said, "For every god except Hestia." I hoped that this would consume the life force of the gods. That would be SO awesome.

After 5 minutes with Nyssa and Jake, I sat down at the Athena table beside Annabeth, who was having this un-english conversation about ventus (didn't I say that they sound like evil espresso drinks already?) and I interrupted " And so Jason, Piper and most importantly the great Leo, killed Dylan. The  END."

Annabeth glared at me, which was NOT cool. Then she calmed down because Piper came and said sweetly "Annabeth, after breakfast could you meet me and..um...Thalia, Jason, Connor, Travis, Percy, Frank, Hazel, Nico, Rachel, Grover and Clarrisse at the beach to answer our questions?"

Annabeth smiled, "Sure, no problem."

Was I invisible or something? I was pretty sure only Annabeth had that power. Piper gave me a weird look that I had once seen on Drew Tanaka and left. I was JUST in front of Piper. She didn't even include my name!

A punch by Annabeth put me in my senses. LEAVE, a tiny voice in my brain told me. It was right. I knew where I wasn't wanted. I looked at Annabeth with one last look, and said something in a tone I'd never used before, "We'll settle this later, Chase, cause Valdez has got more tricks up his sleeve than you can count." My hand was on fire, and Annabeth looked at me like she was startled.

I left the dining pavillion. Nyssa and Jake yelled after me, but I didn't care. I was done with Annabeth and Piper. They ignored me, FINE. 

I had friends. Jason was my friend. Hazel was my friend. Even Frank had became my friend after I gave him the fireproof cloth for his piece of wood. Percy was my friend. Nyssa and Jake and the rest of the Hephaestus cabin were my friend.

As I was walking to the Hephaestus cabin, I bumped into Chiron. He must have seen my expression and said, "Leo, what's wrong?"

I looked at Chiron. I barely knew him, but he was one of the only elders who cared for him, along with Sally Jackson, Percy's mom. I looked at Chiron again, and I was surprised to see that Percy was there beside Chiron.

I started spilling out all the things that had been bothering me for 6 months, after the war with dirt woman. Then I confessed about what had happened with Annabeth and Piper. When I mentioned Annabeth, Percy looked like he had been slapped in the face.

"I'll have a talk with Annabeth, Leo." Percy said. "I'm sorry she acted this way."

"Percy, but-"

"No buts, Leo. If Annabeth did something, she has to pay for it. And I'll tell Jason to talk to Piper."

I was about to protest, but Percy was already gone. Chiron gave me one last sad look, and trotted to the Big House.

What a looser I was. I had just made one of my two closest friends get mad at their girlfriends. I sighed and went into the Hephaestus cabin. I packed my things. I put my tool belt in a safe compartment in my suitcase. We wouldn't be needing that at Pig Warts, but a nagging feeling told me to bring it.

I sat down at the Big House meeting room, fiddling with a flower. I probably sat there for an hour, because when I was done making the flower into a shovel, I saw the Pig Warts group heading my way. That included Annabeth and Piper, whos eyes were puffy and red, and I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. What if the two couples had broke up?

Chiron came with them. He said, "You will all be shadow traveling with Nico. And mind your manners." I had a feeling that was for a dove and an owl.

I grabbed Hazel's and Clarrisse's hand (who I hadn't paid much attention to at camp, but she gave me a harsh look. I didn't mind, I had a feeling she did that to everybody).

Hazel gave me a smile. "Hi Leo. How've you been?" I was happy to see her.

"Fine. You?"

"Good. You have any idea how scared I am for this quest?"

"No, it is YOU, right?"

Hazel grinned and I was glad we were back on our normal routine, me cracking jokes and her laughing.

We shadow traveled and I thought my face going to peel off.

We came to a train station. We were between platforms 9 and 10, but Annabeth was blabbering on how we should get to platform 9 and 3/4. She told us that we had to run through a wall, and in reply I told her that she had gone crazy. She just rolled her eyes, which were now back to normal. I looked at Percy and mothed a quick THANK YOU. He smiled back.

She ran through a wall. We went aboard a train called the Hogwarts Express. 

We all sat in different compartments. 

Me, Clarrisse and Nico (WHICH I WAS NOT OKAY WITH!), Piper and Jason, Percy and Annabeth, Frank and Hazel and Travis and Connor. A black haired boy walked into our compartment. He was like Percy's identicla twin, except shorter and had glasses and a scar.

"Hello there, I'm Harry Potter."

Tan tan taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
