A/N: My first try at a fan fiction! Feedback is much appreciated!
"Thanks dad!" Leo said through the open window.
"No problem. See you next year!" Leo's dad responded before rolling up the window and driving away. Leo waited until the van was out of sight before he pumped a fist into the air.
"Freedom!" He shouted. He felt a hand on his shoulder, Leo quickly spun around.
It was Percy, behind him stood Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, and Nico. "Don't call this freedom yet," Percy smiled, "You still have to see the rest of campus."
Just last year, everyone from Changes High School was transferred to Woodgrove Academy in Pennsylvania because a Nuclear Power Plant was built so close to the high school, the experts say that the radiation could sink through the walls and make it dangerous for the students. Leo had shown the principal his wall design to keep radiation outside, but the principal said it would cost too much to build. Leo was angry for a few days, but when he was shown pictures of Woodgrove, he became what could easily be classified as 'the most happy-crazy-excited-shocked-by-lightning person in the world'.
As they walked toward the 10th grade dormitories of the academy, everyone was chattering with excitement. Annabeth was gazing about the buildings and talking to Percy about how intricate the designs were. Piper was whispering in Hazel's ear about something (potential couples probably, Leo thought to himself). Frank and Hazel were holding hands.
Leo jumped. He pointed at their interlocked hands, "No way, Don't tell me that -".
Piper giggled. Frank and Hazel blushed and franticaly hid their hands behind their back.
Leo threw his hands up into the air. "So I'm the only single in our group now?"
"Well," Percy started. Nico cleared his throat from the shadow of a pine tree.
"Uh huh." Leo turned around and continued walking. "Now where are the dormitories? I need to put this stuff down and get to the cafeteria. I'm hungry!"
A/N: Ha ha, sorry for the abrupt ending. And the really short chapter. I couldn't figure out what I could do to make it more smooth... Next chapter is going to be longer so it's going to take a while! (I'm really slow at writing.)
