Katie POV
It was a beautiful day at camp. The first day like this in months. The sun was shining, campers were at their activities, satyrs and the Demeter cabin were growing strawberries, the rock walls were crashing together. But, most of all, the Giant War had just ended because the 7 heroes of the Great Prophecy beat the giants and destroyed Gaea and her army. I was kneeling in the fields, planting some roses my mother gave me. Finally, peace at last.
I should've known my moment of relaxation would be ruined.
"Hey Katie! Hey Katie!"
Oh. Gods. Not again!
"Hi, Travis." I said his name with as much loathing as I could muster, turning around on my heel.
"What's wrong, Katie? Did something ruin your day?"
"Yes. And that something is standing right in front of me."
Travis gasped, "what? Me! How did I, the love of your life, ruin your day. I obviously made it better."
"Love of my life!?" I screeched.
"Yea, you know you can't resist this."
I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "If I remember correctly, you are the one who always comes up to me, not the other way around. So I think that you can't resist this!"
"Actually, I just don't think that beautiful girls like you should be on your hands and knees digging in the dirt everyday."
Oh. My. Gods. He did NOT just say that! Oh gods he did!
I could feel the blush rising to my cheeks. I probably looked as red as my roses I was planting.
Think, Katie, think! You need a comeback! Aha!
"So what you are getting at, is that you think I'm beautiful and you want to do my work for me? Okay!" I got up and handed him the rose I was holding. "Thank you! I was getting thirsty." And then, when I was walking away, I had a totally kick-butt idea. I turned my head around, and blew him a kiss saying, "thank you so much Travis!" His jaw was practically on the floor, his eyes were bugging out of his head, and he has a blush rising into his cheeks. Hmm... he looks kinda cute when he blushes.
Woah, woah, woah, no. No. Where the Hades did that come from?!
As I walked back to my cabin, guess who I was thinking of?
