Leo was normally restless, he knew that, but today it seemed as if he was more restless than usual.
They were on their way to California, riding on a train thanks to Annabeth.
"Trains are faster than anything else, especially this train."
Annabeth had said, winking at them as the Sun Express took off.
Fred, the driver had told them they would arrive in California as the sun set. All of them wanted to look at him with disbelief, but in their world, anything was possible.
Everyone has taken a different compartment, and Leo was currently staring out of the window, letting his thoughts take over.
He couldn't stop thinking about the boy in the alley, something about him had seemed familiar, it was almost as if he had seen those eyes before.
The blonde guy also seemed familiar, the stormy blue eyes reminded him of someone but it felt like he was trying to make a puzzle but he couldn't see the whole picture.
"I just wish I could see if he's okay"
He whispered, the wish seemed to fill his heart, and he didn't know why.
All his life, he knew he would be the extra but he had never wished for something. Not when his mom died and certainly not when he found out he was a demigod.
It was strange, everything he closed his eyes those green eyes appeared in front of him. He was being stupid he knew, there was a very slim chance he would ever see the guy again; if he even survived he thought darkly.
The train jolted to a stop and Leo flew forward, hitting his head on the window.
Grumbling, he got up knowing it was probably only him that hit himself the rest were probably stuck to their chairs with their awesome demigodish powers.
Walking quickly, and rubbing his head, he found everyone already out of the train.
"Finally!" Luke threw his hands up in mock exasperation, "we've been waiting for you for hours Valdez"
Deciding not to think to much about the boy anymore, he grinned at the son of Hermes, who grinned back at him.
Annabeth rolled her eyes at their antics, secretly relieved that Leo wasn't thinking about the boy anymore.
"If you two are done, we need to find a place to stay because it's night and I do not want to spend the night sleeping in the street."
Reyna nodded in agreement, as Leo stared typing into his iPod like crazy.
"Well, I found a hotel by here, wait," he turned towards Annabeth "how much money can we spend? Can we stay in a fancy hotel or something chapter?"
Luke turned his blue eyes on Annabeth, silently begging for the fancy and after a few moments, she sighed.
"We can afford something fancy."
Leo grinned, giving Luke a high five and began walking towards the hotel that he had found.
"What kind of hotel is it?" Annabeth asked next to him making him jump, he didn't think she was next to him.
"Something fancy, it had a pretty mermaid water fountain inside."
