"Hey Percy can I talk to you for a second?" Leo asked approaching Percy. Leo could tell Percy was acting weird whenever he and Calypso were around.
"Yeah sure man." Percy responded while he touched the tip of his sword and it shrinks back into pen form.
"I just wanted to clear the air. You know, about you and Calypso."
"Is that so." Percy clearing had no interest in talking about Calypso, or he was just pretending to.
"Yeah I know you two liked each other in the past and all but now she likes me and you have Annabeth, so I think it's time you just move on." Leo was definitely nervous for his response, but instead Percy laughed. It was a laugh that had absolutely no humor in it whatsoever.
"So let me get this straight," Percy began, "You think I don't like being around Calypso because you think I still have feelings for her."
Leo didn't say anything.
"Leo you have no idea. Calypso cursed us man."
Leo didn't know what to say. Calypso couldn't have curse them, could she?
"What do you mean? Calypso wouldn't curse you." Leo stammpered.
"While Annabeth and I were in Tartarus we ran into some arai, I killed a couple of them and one of the curses was from Calypso. I didn't believe it at first either. She cursed Annabeth to make her feel abandoned. In Tartarus. You can't possibly know what that feels like." With that said, Percy walked away, leaving Leo completely in disbelief.
Later that night Leo asked Calypso about the curse, and well, it was true.

With the summer drawing to a close, Percy knew that he would have to go back to mortal school. Luckily it would be his last year because he would be a senior. His step-father, Paul Blofis teaches at Goode High School, in which Percy will be attending. He realised that this is the only school he has attended for more than one year, and that is a success in itself.
Percy was packing his things. Of course he left his minotaur horn hanging on the wall alongside the pictures of him and his friends. He only had one bag because he never really planned on staying long, and if he needed something he could probably just iris message his mom and ask he to bring him stuff. Once he was all packed he brought his bag outside where he was supposed to meet Annabeth for their ride back to the city. He waited under Thalia's tree. The place where they always met for stuff like this.
He saw Annabeth in the distance. Her curly blond hair in a long ponytail. Her intense grey eyes boring into his soul. Gods I love her, he though.
"Hey Seaweed brain, ready to go?"
"Yeah, let's go." He responded.
Argus drove them into the city and Percy insisted on going to the airport with her. She would be flying back to California to stay with her father and step-family. When they departed it was romantic and sad. Like all romantic movie departure scenes.
When Argus dropped Percy off at his house his mom and Paul greeted him and they ate dinner together like a real family. Although not a regular family considering that Percy is, you know, half god. Tomorrow would be Percy's first day of mortal school for the year, boy was he excited. (sarcasm)

Percy woke up the next morning and got dressed in just a t-shirt and jeans. He definitely didn't want to draw any attention to himself today. He went into the kitchen and got breakfast. His step-dad would be giving his a ride to school the time Paul was supposed to be at school. So he has to be there super early.
Once they left Percy really decided he didn't want to go to school. They were in the car listening to music and they pulled up to the school. Percy got out of the car and walked up the front steps, and entered the school.
