Review!


Calypsos POV

"Rola?" was all I could say. I looked again to make sure I was seeing properly. Yes, it was definitely Rola, the carefully done hair, the sparkling brown eyes. But what was Rola of all people doing at Camp Half-Blood? Maybe I was going insane. But then...
"Of course I'm Rola! Who else looks awesome as me?"
I had no choice but to believe that Rola, the first actual friend I had ever had was here, right in front of me.

Will's POV

I looked at the blonde girl sitting a few feet away from me. Calypso, I think, was her name according to the insane Aphrodite girl. What a weird name. Was she named after Calypso as in the daughter of Atlas? It seemed like it.
Chiron appeared just then. Unfortunately he was in full centaur mode. I looked at Calypso to see her shocked reaction. But instead I was the shocked one to see that she didn't look freaked out or even slightly surprised. Weird. I'd expected her to run in the other direction or faint. But instead she just stood there, looking calm as if seeing a guy with his top half a man and the other half a horse was a common occurrence with her.
"Can't I leave you people alone for just two seconds without something happening?" Chiron said, sighing.

"OK, so this is Calypso. You've all heard of her. Anyway, after her curse was lifted, she decided to come and stay in Camp Half-Blood."

My mind wasn't registering this. It was too much. So, Calypso hadn't been named after Calypso. Calypso was Calypso herself. Yeah, confusing.

I looked at her again. She was playing with a blade of grass, staring at her hands, obviously embarrassed. I couldn't blame her. I mean what would you feel if a whole crowd of people you hadn't seen in your life was staring at you the way a scientist stares at a plant he's never seen, only heard of? You get the picture.

Suddenly, I heard someone ask "Which cabin will she be in? Hermes?"

Chiron shook his head. "No, Hermes is only for Hermes members. I've arranged for her to have a room in the big house. And..."

"Hey, Chiron, please could I show her around and stuff? Pretty please with a cherry on top?" It was Rola. She was seriously starting to get on my nerves.

"I was coming to that. Actually, I've already decided that Will Solace to get Calypso acquainted with everything, and Rola," he continued, when she started to argue, "I've been getting constant complain about how you're always ditching archery practice. I recommend you first catch up on your classes before showing anyone around."

It finally dawned on me that Chiron had chosen me, of all people, to show Calypso around. "Uh, Chiron..." I started saying, trying to make him realize his mistake. Chiron just motioned to me to be quiet and turned to Calypso, who hadn't said a word till now.

"Calypso, this is Will. He isn't actually dangerous, in spite of today's little...ah, accident. You don't mind, do you?"

"No." she said. She had a nice voice. Wait, what was I thinking?

"Then go ahead." Chiron said, leaving.

I realized we were both alone. The other campers had all gone to do various activities.

"So," I said awkwardly."I guess we'll start with the cabins, if you like."

"It's fine with me," she said, with a small smile."Really."

As we walked towards that side of the camp, I watched Calypso. She had this habit of pulling a strand of her hair when she was nervous or worried. I found it kind of cute. She was pretty, I admitted to myself, with her heavy gold hair and warm brown eyes.

I showed her the first cabin. "This is the cabin for Zeus. He had a daughter named Thaila, who's now joined Artemis. It's a long story."

"I know," Calypso said. "When I was in the island, Hermes used to come and give me the news, plus a whole bunch of gossip."

"So, you were all informed about what was going on, huh?"

"Pretty much. When you're marooned in an island you tend to look forward to things like that."

We ran through most of the other cabins, and I introduced her to just about everybody. By the time we were done with them all, the only thing I wanted to do now was flop down onto the glass, and chill out. And where the hell was Percy? We'd knocked on the door of the Poisedon cabin, but there hadn't been anyone inside.

Suddenly, I saw him; he was arguing with Nico about something and he had his arm around Annabeth.

"Come on," I said, pulling Calypso impatiently towards them. "I'm going to introduce you to two people you don't want to miss."

As we got closer to them, I saw Calypso stiffen. I wondered why.

I could hear parts of Nico and Percy's argument.

"Hades is way better than Poseidon. I can shadow travel!" Nico was saying

"I think you've lost your mind. I can CONTROL water! I can even drown you if I want! At least my father has a throne on Olympus… " Percy replied

"Hey! Who's father are you insulting?"

"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!" Annabeth yelled.

They all turned towards us when they heard us coming.

"Hey Nico, this is Calypso. You know." I said.

"I hope you like camp! I know you'll like it after beings stuck in that...OW! You don't need to kick me, Annabeth!"

"Yes, I do. I'm Annabeth. Have you seen your room yet?"

"No." Calypso replied shyly. I doubt she'd had talked to so many people before.

Then Percy looked up from whatever he'd been doing, and his face flashed with recognition. "Calypso! It's really good to see you again!"

Calypso blushed. "Yeah."

Nico looked confused. "Wait, you know her?"

"Yeah, kinda!" Percy replied. Annabeth glared at him. "You've met her and you never told me?"

He looked extremely uncomfortable. "Look, it was a really long time ago!" She pushed away his arm and started walking away. "W-wait, you haven't heard the whole story!" She turned around looking madder. "Oh, so there's more?" she said, and walked away even faster with Percy trailing behind her. Nico looked surprised. "Well, we just got a live drama in front of us! Cool!"

"Yeah, I guess. You don't need to worry," I told Calypso, who was looking worried. "They're always fighting"

Nico laughed. "Uh-huh, 24/7. Hey, I really need to go. See you around."

Just then, Juniper tapped my shoulder. "Will, Chiron told me to take Calypso to her room. You can go and change." she said, looking down at my clothes, which were dirty on account of the fall. "I'll take care of Calypso."

"Thanks Will. You've been really nice to me. I'll catch you later, I hope." And she flashed a smile at me, and then walked toward the Big House with Juniper.

Wasn't I looking forward to "Later."
