Finding A Soulmate( HoO characters)

Leo

Leo's POV, First Person

Finally! I thought. Today's the day! Today is the day I audition for Cinderella! In front of everyone, too! Callbacks are awesome!

Of course, unless you are me, you are probably nervous and sweating while auditioning. But I'm not you! I'm Leo, the Bad Boy Supreme! I mean, you're probably basking in my elegance right now.

I strode into the auditorium, confident and smiling.... until I saw her. 

Calypso's eyes met mine and I glared at her until Calypso looked away from me. She's here?! I mentally smacked myself. She's amazing, of course she would get callbacks. Of course, she wouldn't think that of me... 

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. My goal here is to get the lead, not to get a girl. Especially not her.

"Alright everyone! We will be starting the callbacks right now! Everyone get a partner and your lines. You will be performing a scene from Cinderella and we will see how your chemistry turns out."

Time skip--------------Third Person Point of View------------------------

The first girl was probably the worst actor Leo have ever seen. She was all over the stage and she couldn't even keep a straight face while acting. She was just laughing the whole time! She couldn't even get her lines out! Honestly, Leo was not sure how she got callbacks.

"Next!" The Drama teacher called, and Calypso and a boy Leo had never seen before came onto the stage. Immediately, Leo was jealous. Wait- I'm not jealous of him!  He's supposed to be jealous of me! Right, yeah. That's what's happening here, Leo thought. Of course, Calypso had to get in the way of that.

While performing their lines, he noticed every detail of Calypso. The way she moved gracefully, but not too much like a girly-girl, but in a cool way. He noticed Calypso's braids that were slowly getting out of her loose braid and getting a bit in front of her face. He noticed the way her wonderfully blue eyes glance at the teacher after each line she gave, as if asking, "Am I doing this right?"  He noticed how she was nervous enough to bite her nails, which were all different lengths. In Leo's eyes, just making her more and more unique and perfect. Leo could see Calypso's fear in her eyes, and Leo immediately thought, She has stage freight! Oh! I could help her with that! Immediately, he shut that thought down. After what Calypso was like at the football game, their's no WAY I'm gonna talk to her.

As Calypso walked off the stage, Leo couldn't help but wonder, Why did I have to fall in love with her? 

 Time skip brought to you by Leo thinking about how beautiful Calypso is----

Everything was going great until the teacher called the next pairings. "Alright, everyone! We will have our next pairings now! Pair up, and make sure you have the right roles! Now-" Everyone started shuffling, trying to get a partner before the teacher could even finish. Leo was about to tap a boy Leo had seen in his math class when Leo felt a tug on his arm. Leo turned and followed the person that was dragging him until he realized who was dragging him.

Calypso dragged Leo to one of the janitor's closet's that were next door to the auditorium.  Once Calypso shut the door and turned on the light, Leo thought, as all Leo's think, Wow this is a great place for a make out!  

"What are you thinking about?" Calypso said suddenly. "You just started smiling to yourself and started looking like you were lost in a trace."

"Ohhhhh, so you are talking and being yourself now? I didn't see you doing that a week ago." Leo responded, not wanting to meet Calypso's eyes. Of course, his eyes wandered to her glittering eyes, and Leo couldn't help but think, THAT'S the love of my life. The real one, too.

"Okay, now your smile turned into a frown." Calypso said. "What is it?"

Leo responded with, "Why are you being yourself in public? Is it me? Do you just not want to be my friend? I mean, I know some people can't handle the awesomeness but-"

"Shut up before you start blabbering." Calypso said, rolling her eyes. "It's just.... my sister was at the game. You can't just ask me out in front of my sister. Anyone in my family, actually." 

"What, so I can't ask you out, or ever go to your house, or hold your hand, or even-" Leo said, trailing off. "Wait, did you just say, 'In font of my family?' You... your fine with me dating you?"

"Obviously! I mean, your one of the only people I can be myself around! It's just... my parents are SUPER strict and they think they need the 'perfect' guy for me. And that 'perfect' guy is the opposite of you, which is boring, straight-forward, and dull." Calypso told him.

Leo was still stuck on the fact that Calypso liked him. "You like me! YES! I was so worried that you didn't... and if you didn't that would be SUCH a blow on my ego!" 

Calypso smirked at him. "I think your ego should  actually get smaller. You have WAY too much confidence."

"Nah. So... this means we're dating now?"

Calypso didn't look him in the eyes and decided the broom near the door was much more interesting. "Calypso?" Leo asked again. "Are we dating?" Calypso looked him in the eyes and Leo saw that she had no choice in what her next words were.

"no." Calypso told Leo.

The next chapter will probably be either super short or super long, and it will also be about the football game where Leo asked Calypso out. Byeeee~
