Saviours *HEROES OF OLYMPUS FANFIC*

Chapter 1 - Calypso

Calypso's P.O.V.

I'm standing up the back trying to hide. I don't want to be noticed, or draw attention to myself. Mr. Bruner my history teacher is asking us all to pair up but whilst everyone is yelling across the room to their friends I just stay quiet.

I used to contribute in class, I had friends and classmates I believed wanted to listen and I had a lot to say, but I don't really have enough people to listen anymoreI have had people in my life before, friends, boyfriends but they've all left me, abandon me.

They probably didn't think it was a big deal, but when you don't have many people in your life you see the ones you loose disappear clearly. They aren't hidden by other people smothering the hole they left. No one really notices me anymore.

They did once, in fact one girl I used to know told me once that My skin and hair glowed,that she was jealous I would never need makeup. My skin was olive and clear of blemishes. I had light brown eyes and gold hair but I don't really make an effort with it, I just braid it loosely down the side.

Since then I must of lost that natural glow I had, I used to feel as if I glowed from the inside out but now it's like the lights been turned off. Having everyone you've ever loved be taken from you does that to you. I've forgotten what happiness and warmth truly feels like.

That girl was one of the first to leave but I hadn't noticed what had started until my parents left too. After then it was the boys. I didn't have anyone and having my parents and friends gradually leave my life left me looking for someone to reach out too, someone to grab my hand and pull me out of the dark waters and into the light. I almost got what I wanted too.

Boys started appearing at my side and for the first time it mattered to me what they thought. I would fall head over heels in love with any boy that gave me a glance. I appeared to desperate, I was naive to think these boys wouldn't take advantage of a girl in desperate times.

It still hurt though, I wanted to be noticed, to be loved, but when i gave them everything they left without looking back. I've given up with people all together by now. Now I just find it easier to lock people out, to stay in the shadows no matter how much it makes my heart ache with longing, I think its probably less painful in the long term.

There is one thing about me that made everyone recognise me, that made heads turn. My name. Calypso. I dont know anyone who shares it with me. It is probably the one thing that keeps me from disappearing under the water all together, the one thing that forced people to notice me.

I look up at the class around me, everyone was full of noise, talking and trying to form groups and pairs. But then the talking died down as the teacher stood up at her desk in answer to someone standing in the doorway.

I looked up and felt my heart race. 'Hi' the boy said grinning from ear to ear 'ummm I just transferred here, my name's Leo'.
