Calyspo couldn't believe what she saw. Leo Valdez. In the same arcade as her. With his best friend. Who just broke up. With her new friend. Honestly, could her luck be this bad? Or Reyna's luck at that.
She saw that Leo had a panicked look when he saw Reyna. The same look she was giving Jason when he appeared next to Leo, oblivious to the situation. She saw Leo making sure that Jason's back was to her, giving her the same idea.
"You okay?" Reyna suddenly said. Calypso turned her head in a quick manner, causing Reyna to be more concern.
"Me? Yeah, I'm fine! I'm not the one who just got broken up with" she finished the statement with a nervous laugh. Reyna started to look around the arcade to see if she could find the source of Calypso's discomfort. But to no avail when Calypso grabbed her and forced her to switch places with her.
"Oh, be careful, you almost bumped into someone there" Calypso lied. She looked behind Reyna's shoulder to find that Leo was trying to drag Jason away.
"You okay, Calypso? You seem sorta jumpy" asked Hazel, placing herself in the conversation. Calypso looked between the two girls, trying to think of a lie to help her.
"I saw an...old classmate! Yeah, thats exactly it! He and I didn't get along, so I really don't want to bump into him"
Hazel and Reyna both looked at each other and nodded in understanding.
"Okay, just tell us and we'll walk the other way" Hazel said, giving her a reassuring smile. Calypso smiled back as she looked behind Reyna again and saw that Leo and Jason were no longer there. Calypso let out a sigh and dragged Reyna and Hazel the opposite way.
-------------------
Lets just say, avoiding someone is not as easy as you might think.
Calypso had to suddenly stop her friends from playing a game when she saw Percy and Jason walking towards the same game and drag them away. Leo sometimes takes that job when he's with Jason, leaving Calypso a chance to relax.
She couldn't believe that Jason ended up going to an arcade just like Reyna. Those two think a lot alike, makes her think of how they could break up. Calypso tried to ask Hazel if something else happened but all she did was shrug, leaving Calypso with no answer. Maybe she could ask Leo if Jason did something to Reyna...
Of course, she would ask if Reyna did something as well, she cant just assume.
Right now, Calypso and the girls were at the food court in the arcade. Hazel and Reyna were eating a pizza together, while Calypso settled with a salad.
"So, who is this guy? You seem pretty determine to avoid him" Reyna asked. Calypso looked at her salad, hoping that somehow, the contents would give her a good lie to tell.
"Sorry about dragging you guys around. Totally ruined the night out" in the end, she decided to avoid the question.
"No! It was fun, even when you dragged us around" Reyna admitted with a chuckle. Calypso's face reddened with embarrassment.
