Mortals Meet Demigod Heroes

Brooklyn Kahn

Thanks for the character. Brooklyn belongs to  @madebymara_    

"Thank you, Sir. Have a nice day." The last customer had just left, and I yelled to the back "Caly, take over! I'm going on break!"

I heard a faint "Okay!" come from the back. I grabbed my phone and headed out to the back parking lot. Caly, or Calypso, was really good with the plants that we work with. Her boyfriend stops by alot, and he's really funny. Leo and Calypso are a great match, in my opinion. They're both several years older than me, since I just turned 14 over the summer, on June 14th.

When I got to the back parking lot, I called my mom, Jane Kahn. 

"Hello?"

"Hey mom. I was just checking in, since I'm on break."

"Oh, okay. Well, I need to get back to work, so I'll talk to you later."

"Okay mom. Talk later."

I went back inside, to find Leo leaning on the counter, talking to Calypso. There was a ginger haired girl with them. She had a shock of bright green in her short hair and pretty blue eyes, very different from my long-ish brown hair and emerald green eyes. 

"Hey Leo. Hi friend of Leo's." I said

"Hey Brooklyn." Leo replied, shooting me a grin.

"Hi. I'm Kayla, Kayla Knowles." the girl said, holding out her hand.

"Brooklyn. Brooklyn Kahn." I replied, shaking her hand. Standing next to her, I see that I am slightly taller, though mom always says I'm tall for my age.

"Nice to meet you Brooklyn. I hope we can get to know eachother better."

"Me too."

****short time skip***

"Hometown?"

"Boston, Massachusetts. You?"

"Canada, North America"

"No, really? I thought Canada was in Africa!" 

"Yeah, okay, Miss Sarcasm." Kayla rolled her eyes.

"That's meeee!" I said, laughing.

Kayla and I had instantly clicked, to the amusement of Leo and Calypso. So, as soon as Calypso and I finished our shift, the four of us went to the mall. Now Kayla and I were asking questions to get to know each other better.

"Hey, you guys! Are you ready to go?" Leo asked, stopping with Calypso, so we could catch up. 

"Yeah, sure." Kayla and I said at the same time, throwing us both into a fit of giggles. We headed out toward Leo's car. He drove and Calypso sat shotgun. Kayla and I got the back, since we're the younger ones, her being 15 and I, only 14. 

Kayla and I talked and laughed the whole way to my house, while Leo and Calypso had their own conversation. I didn't need to give Leo directions, since he and Calypso often gave me a ride home after work. 

As we turned on my street, I turned toward Kayla. "I hope we can hang out again. I had fun."

"Me too. Uh.... Here." She found a scrap of paper and a pen, then scribbled something out on it. "You can reach me here, just ask for Kayla. It'll probably be my big brother, Will, who answers. But he knows how to find me. And, uh, I'll probably start tagging along with Leo when he comes to see Calypso. So I'll be able to see you then." (The infirmary has a phone that monsters can't trace, okay? Okay.)

I glanced down at the paper she gave me. I see a number scrawled across it. "Sounds great." I reply. 

We pull into the driveway, and Leo turns to look at me. "Your stop kiddo."
