Ey guys! I love all your reviews! Thanks so much for reading it all!

For Blackberry Explosion: Yes you are correct. It IS hard to believe. You are obviously a very good guesser/thinker or whatever you call it. You just had to wait for this chapter. :D

I had to respond to that comment!

Also a note that will come in handy later on in the chapter: In this fic Leo and Calypso are Sophomore's which makes them 16.

But anyways thanks for reading guys! You're all so nice!

Leo's POV

Yesterday was easily one of the most weirdest days I've ever had.

To put it all into one sentence the girl who I thought hated me ended up liking me the whole time.

It was all really confusing but what I remembered the most was when she kissed me last night.

That was…just really weird.

But now that we've gotten closer I think I might like her. Might. Nothing certain yet. Maybe I'll be able to find that out today…

~Line Break~

Calypso and I did our regular studying and flirting in class today. Nothing new.

But Jason and Piper stopped me before I could walk out with her.

I guess she didn't mind because she didn't wait up.

They waited for her to leave.

"Listen Leo. Were worried about you. You've been spending all your free time with her…and you don't seem to be having that hint of hate when your together."

Piper nodded.

"You never eat with us anymore and when we invite you to anything you always say that your busy. And if I know Leo Valdez I know that he's almost never busy unless he's hanging out with us. what's been going on Leo?"

Usually I would be a bit offended from that comment and some kind of joke but I was too distracted.

I swallowed.

"Well…I guess we might not have been studying during all that time we spent together…just…hanging out?"

Piper laughed.

"Just hanging out? I know you guys didn't just hang out."

"Look can we not talk about this right now? I need to get to class."

And I ran out before they could say anything else.

~Line Break~

I told Calypso to meet me at the library today. I wasn't ready to deal with certain people today.

When she met me at the table she gave me one of those flawless smiles and kissed me on the cheek as she sat down.

It startled me of course. That's the 3rd time she's kissed me.

"Hey!" she said cheerfully. I guess she was happier than usual.

"So I was wondering…since we usually study when we're together and we're almost done with the whole project thing maybe we could…uh go to that…"

I was hoping that she would finish my sentence but she just kept smiling at me as if to say "Come on Leo just ask me."

I sighed

"Will you go on a date with me tonight?"

She sighed nonchalantly.

"Hmm let me check my very carefully planned out schedule…"

She sat and stared at me for a minute.

Dammit I always wanted to do that if someone asked me out.

"Yeah I think I'm free." she smiled at me.

The bell rang and we grabbed our things. She took my hand and we walked out of the library.

These days I've been having keep getting weirder and weirder.

~Line Break~

After school Calypso and I met each other outside. She took my hand and we walked.

"Where are we going?" She asked, swinging my hand as we walked.

"Ah…I don't mind. Wherever you wanna go is fine." I told her.

"I always like ice cream."

I nodded. "Ice cream it is."

We never let go of each others hands.

~Line Break~

We started out our first date with playful banter.

It was all going fine but I really wanted to get to know her for real.

"Listen Cal, I know you told me you tormented me and all because you like me but…I've never met anyone who would be that cruel just because they don't know how treat the person…"

She sighed.

"I…yah that wasn't accurate. But I didn't want to be the stereotypical bully who treated someone bad because of their past. I even lied to myself and told myself I wasn't that person. But deep down I knew that I was."

I was glad that she came clean so easily.

I hated to be nosy but I couldn't help myself.

"Do you want to tell me what your past was like?" I asked her hesitantly.

"It was my Dad. My Mom died when I was a baby. He was abusive. Both verbally and physically. I'd rather not describe anything that he said or did. But when I was 12 he made me pack up all my stuff and he kicked me out of the house and left me to fend for myself in down town Chicago. Luckily there was a homeless shelter in town that I had to stay in until I turned 15 last year. I managed to get a job that eventually earned me enough money to buy an apartment in Manhattan. But while I was living in the homeless shelter I never had any friends and that built up the grudge I had been holding. But when I moved here no one knew me which made it a lot easier to make friends. So when I met you I thought you were the perfect person to let out all my anger on. I'm sorry."

She stared down at her bowl and I could see a tear or two streaming down her face.

This time it was my turn.

I kissed her.

It startled her but she kissed back almost immediately.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped mine around her waist.

The kiss wasn't like our recent ones.

It wasn't short and sweet or a sign of 'like'.

It was long a little more passionate and it kind of started a real relationship between the two of us.

I didn't have to ask her to be my girlfriend at this point.

That's what kind of a kiss it was.

I felt awful.

For thinking she was a horrible person.

For hating her.

For not accepting her niceness when we were paired up.

"No." I said pulling away.

"No Calypso. I'm sorry I hated you. I deserved all of what you did to me more than you ever did. I'm sorry."

She hugged me tight softly crying into my shoulder.

"Thank you." she said simply.

We sat there for a while, hugging each other.

After a while she stopped crying and pulled out of the hug.

"I think I need to go now." she said checking her watch.

I nodded and stood up to let her out of the booth we sat in.

"Thank you, Leo. I'm glad we did this today. But sometime I want you to tell me what happened in your past."

I cringed a bit.

"I'll tell you sometime. I promise. Just…not today."

She frowned a tiny bit but she nodded understandingly.

"Can I walk you home?" I asked.

She grabbed my hand and walked out with me.

I took that as a yes.

I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter! Sorry it was kinda short…but the next chapter will be longer…and cuter.

Hint: One of the two get sick. :D

Thanks again everyone!
