Leaving was the worst. They stood on the hill with the others. Percy and Annabeth were chatting quietly, Piper and Jason watched the clouds, and Hazel and Frank were eaiting by the car for Annabeth.
Leo and Calypso stood a few feet from Piper and Jason. "Do you have to go?" Calypso said taking his hands.
"I know, Calypso. I don't want to leave either." A tear rolled down her cheek. Leo wiped it away.
"You'll come back right?" She said. "You'll return to me hero?"
"I always do don't I?" He said putting his hands in her waist. She rested her hand on his shoulders pulling him closer.
"Yes. Promise?" She said touching her noes to his.
"Always." He kissed her gently, pulling her tighter and closer. He could feel her tears swishing between there cheeks. Her fingers played in his hair. She tried to hide her sobs. He pulled away and looked into her dark brown eyes that where red with tears.
"Call me everyday?" She asked holding his face in her hands. He smiled and moved a lock of hair out of her face.
"Always."
"Use my blanket?"
"Al.ways."
"That's enough love birds!" Piper yelled a few feet away. Leo laughed.
"Very funny. Some people can't go everywhere with there girlfriend or boyfriend." Leo said.
"Yeah." Percy said. "some of us have to say goodbye."
"What ever." Piper said.
"Let's go!" said Percy giving one more kiss to Annabeth. Leo turned to Calypso and kissed her one more time.
"See you on visiting day." He said. Calypso smiled
"Always."

Leo busted out of the car coughing. "I hate cars, for the first time ever I love the ground."
"That is an interesting thing indeed." Percy said. "Considering that it put you in a coma." Leo's knit is eyebrows.
"Percy, don't tease him. He doesn't remember the war." Piper said throwing Percy his bag.
"Welcome to west side school." Said a friendly voice. "I'm Jaclyn Smith I'm looking Leo Valdez." Piper tossed me my bag and I raised my hand.
"That would be me." I said. Jaclyn a little taller than me with short dark brown hair and shining blue eyes filled with determination.
"Welcome! Oh and hello Jason, Piper, and Percy. Are you friends with Leo."
"Yes." Piper said. "We go to the same summer camp."
"Oh great! Now I don't have to give you the how to make friends speech. Now for your tour." I looked at my friends and they nodded.
"Alright."

"And finally this is your room." Jaclyn said after the long tour. "How lucky of you to have your roommate be Jason."
"Thanks." Leo said putting his bag on his bed.
"Do you want to call your parents?" Leo stopped unpacking.
"I don't have parents." He said seriously. Technically he did, but you can't go telling your dad is a god. They will put you in the nut house.
"Oh. ho- I shouldn't ask." She said.
"No, it's fine. My mom died when I was right and I've never met my dad." Which was a half lie. He's met his dad before. But again. God, nut house.
"Oh. If it helps I've never met my dad either. Anyway, do you have anyone to call?"
