Katie's POV
I stand there for a few seconds blushing furiously before turning away and leading my siblings back to my cabin where I am greeted with sunflowers that are painted blood red. I weigh my options, I could yell at them but that involves being in the vicinity of Travis. What if he kisses me again? What if he doesn't? If I don't yell at them they might think they can get away with this kind of stuff. No. I will not give them the satisfaction of me getting angry. I decide. I start cleaning the sunflowers off by myself and I'm almost done when the most annoying half-blood I know shows up.

"Watcha doin, Katie-Kat?" He asks

I ignore him and continue to work

"Hello? Earth to Katie?" He says but when I don't respond he continues, "look, I get that you're upset about the whole..." He absentmindedly touches his lips" you know, but we need to talk about it. We're both confused so we need to figure something out."

"Why are you confused?" I snap "You did it. You at least know the reason for that, to 'shut me up', right? Well, that's not fair, okay, Travis?! It's just not fair and you can't play with people's emotions like that! You need to consider how your actions make other people feel!" I exclaim, gesturing to myself  "So, yeah, I am upset but you have no right to be!" I yell and march into my cabin

He follows and knocks on my door. "Katie-Kat?"

"Go away, Stoll." I squeak, trying not to break down

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, honest" he pleads from the other side of the door. I stay silent. "Katie? Can I please talk to you?" He asks

Katie. He called me Katie. I don't know what he's getting at. He NEVER uses my real name. I go and open the door, "Travis, I just don't want to talk right now." I say as calmly as I can manage

"Can I come see you in the fields tomorrow?" He asks, looking slightly hurt. I think for a few seconds before he sighs and turns "That's ok. I'll just see you aroun-"

"Fine." I burst, he whips around and smiles

"Ok, um, well, I'll be there! I'll explain this whole thing to you then!" He says running a hand through his curly brown mop.

I smile weakly and try to shut the door but he grabs me and pulls me into a hug that I am too shocked to return. "You're cute when you're confused." He smirks and walks away as I shut the door and lay down. What did I just agree to?

Travis's POV
This is it, I think. I'm going to ask her out sure, she'll probably laugh in my face but I have to let her know how I feel. Why I kissed her. Everything. She deserves to know.

I got up this morning, put on my jeans and CHB shirt, brushed my teeth, and walked to the strawberry fields

"You can do this. You fought in the Titan war. You are a son of Hermes. You are Travis Stoll. You don't get scared." I tell myself on the way there. But I'm lying, I'm terrified beyond reason.

I get there and look around nervously for Katie-Kat. However, I can't see her anywhere. I walk over to a random Demeter kid and tap them on the shoulder.

Miranda turns around to face me "Travis?" She asks

"Uh, yeah. I was just, well, um, have you seen Katie?" I stutter, my voice cracking on Katie's name. Why am I so nervous?

"No. I thought she was yelling at you for the thing with the sunflowers." She responds and stands there for a second before finally asking "where could she be?"

"I don't know but I need to talk to her. She said she'd meet me here..." I explain, blushing.

Miranda raises an eyebrow but doesn't say anything about it "You check the pavilion I'll look at the stables." She tells me

"Okay" I run to the pavilion, anxious to talk to Katie.

*time skip to after they've looked around camp*

"Did you find her?" Miranda asks worriedly

"No. I don't know where else to look" I say, running a hand through my tangled hair "but I'll find her." I'll find her.
