Saviours *HEROES OF OLYMPUS FANFIC*

Chapter 4- Leo

Leo's P.O.V.
I can't believe her name is Calypso. It's so unique and so original and so just.... Beautiful.
Just before the bell had ring I had asked her why her parents named her that, like if it was cultural or anything but she tensed up as soon as I mentioned it.
Calypso seemed to be opening up a little, still sullen but not ignoring me. She makes me feel like the real me, like it won't matter if I'm pretending to be someone I'm not because if she doesn't care then why would anyone else? I wish I could just sit down with her and chat with her.
I see a flash of her gold hair as she walks out the door and I rush to grab my stuff and catch up with her.
'Hey' I say gently as I grab her shoulder. This was a mistake, she quickly spins around to face me shoving my hand off her shoulder. 'Sorry?' I try. The next thing Calypso does really suprises me. She grabs my wrist and pulls me back down the hall in the opposite direction, we walk out the double doors and I'm struggling too keep up.
As soon as she had touched me I felt like I had been electrocuted, as if I was back in my garage a few years ago, mucking around with wiring and creating anything and everything out of wires, scrap metal, bolts and screws.
I felt the same sensation as she let go but I couldn't help wishing she hadn't. We were out the front of the school and it was empty, all the students must be in class.
'Look, I want you too know that tomorrow in class you can't sit next to me. Okay?' Her voice startles me in silence, she sounds so stern, it's obviously a demand.
I'm so confused, she seems cross but I don't understand why.
She's scowling at me but instead of thinking she looks beautiful when she's angry, I can't help but notice that the frown doesn't suit her. I almost tell her this but quickly realise it isn't the best time.
She must have a beautiful smile and I decide that I'm going to make it my mission too see it. The sky is clear but there is a cold breeze and my arms have goosebumps.
It's so empty out here, the school car park is out the back of the school so out here there is only the large, metal, rusting gates hanging wide open and the grass from here to there.
There is no one walking on the pavement or driving past either. No trees or birds.
Once again I feel completely alone.
Which lately isn't unusual.
Calypso is still glowering at me and looking into her eyes I say the first thing that comes to mind 'I think I'm supposed to be in class right now'.
She sighs and rolls her eyes, I wonder if she's realised how alone we are, how she's dragged me somewhere that feels completely isolated even though just behind us are classrooms and hallways filled with people.
Calypso, seems so strong and independent right now, even though she was so quiet in class I feel as if I was mistaken to pin her as shy. She's standing up tall with the confidence I pretend to have.
I'm drawn to this.
I'm drawn to her.
'As I said I should probably go back to class, it being my first day and all but maybe after school we could walk down to a cafe or something? There's a pretty cool Spanish one around the corner I noticed.'
I know there isn't much chance that she will agree to this, especially after the little outburst she had before but as she slowly opens her mouth my heart is beating fast. My hopes are high and I'm left feeling broken as she lets them fall, hard and fast.
'Leo Valdez... we can not be friends.'
