Ch. 1 the Beginning
Leo has an older sister and brother. Calypso has a younger brother and an older sister. Calypso dances. So does Leo's older sister, she introduced calypso to dance.
My daddy drove me to school. As I climbed out of the car, I saw a cute boy. Wait, boys have cooties. Ewww! My daddy helped me find my teacher, Ms. Flynn. Soon enough we all went inside. My daddy left soon after. I found my name on a desk. Some brown haired girl sat next to me.
"I'm Reyna." She snapped.
"Calypso." I said, lunging in for a hug. She pulled back. "Oh, sorry!" but she was staring at someone. The kid from the parking lot came in. My heart skipped a beat. His devil smile, his curly brown hair, his tan skin, I liked him. I waved. He waved back. He slid into his seat, right in front of me! Yes!
"Hey!" he whispered.
"Hi." I said.
It was all perfect until recess.
"I like Leo Valdez!" I screamed, proud of admitting it. Leo looked at me like I was a weirdo and never talked to me again. Until, six years later in the summer.
"Calypso!" yelled my mom.
"One minute!" I screamed, rolling my eyes. I pulled my caramel hair into a ponytail. Last day of school. In three months, I'd be in 6th grade. I couldn't wait. I pulled out my iPhone 4gs and took a selfie. Last day of school! Can't wait!
But, Leo Valdez's sister had to babysit me over the summer. I'd have to see him. I couldn't. I wanted to curl up in a little ball and for the world to stop. Yes, I still liked him. I couldn't get him out of my head. What the hell! Why couldn't I!? But, I pulled myself up. I clambered down the stairs. I heard my mom beep the horn. I grabbed a pop tart and my lunch. Scrambling out the door, my zebra shoulder bag clutched in my hand, I jumped into the front seat. Gods I was nervous. I didn't say a word then whole drive. But, my older sister complained about her being in the back and her boyfriend breaking up with her. My little brother went on and on about his birthday. Gods of Olympus! It wasn't until august!
My mom pulled up next to the fishbowl. Crossing my fingers I hoped we'd get in early enough so I didn't need to squash through Mrs. Athena's class. On time! Yes! I dumped my backpack into my locker. Suddenly, my friend ran into me.
"This is so exciting!"
"Calm down pipes!"
"No, not that! Leo and Reyna are together!"
"What!?"
"Yep! Come on!" she pulled me into our class.
"Wait, they're together?"
"Cal, I thought you were over him."
"I am." She gave me a look.
"Not joking!"
"sure, see ya!"
"See ya!"
[Line break]
I scrambled onto the bus, keeping my eyes down. He was on my bus.
"Calypso!" screamed a voice. It was my brother's friend. I ignored her and plopped into a seat. Then, someone sat down next to me. I ignored it and pulled out my book. Don't Judge a Girl by her Cover was amazing. The person elbowed me, causing the book to slip out of my hands. I lost my place.
"What the hell?" I asked, turning to glare at the person. I was shocked. He sat next to me. What! Why was he sitting there?
"oops." He replied, looking bored.
"Leo Valdez, what in hades are you doing here?"
