TRAVIS'S P.O.V.

So maybe sleeping in Harpy infested grounds wasn't the best idea, but I've had worse. All was good until we had been found in the morning. I woke up to Chiron's deep voice and his ass in my face. Yes you heard right. Katie had woken up before me and was sitting at the end of my feet. Chiron stood in front of her, which was also over me, and was telling her our punishment. Why he chose to stand over me , I have no idea why, but I know it was apart of my punishment. I scooted myself back and sat up. I fluffed the dirt out of my hair and Chiron turned towards me.

" Katie will tell you your punishment, I simply do not have the time to waste my breath right now." With that he trotted away. Thank the gods he didn't yell at us, it would have not been a good way to start the day. Our punishment was dish duty for a whole month and no dessert for two weeks. 

We currently were in the camp kitchens washing the dishes. There was only one harpy who sat on a stool. She was supposed to be monitoring us but she was painting her toe claws a bright red, it made me shiver at the sight.

" This sucks ". Katie grumbled, her hair was in two messy braids and the apron she wore seemed to swallow her. She still managed to look effortlessly pretty. " We didn't even start the party and now we are the ones being blamed for the whole thing!".

" Yeah well, it's better than ratting out everyone else and being known as the camp snitches, and you know what they say Katie ". I jokingly said.

" Oh what do they say Travis? " She asked. Without her noticing, I whipped up a ball of dish soap.

I threw it in her hair and yelled to her, " Snitches get stitches!". To my surprise she let out a small giggle. She took it out of her hair and threw it into the sink.

" Snitches get stitches..." We kept washing dishes in silence for another few minutes or so, when I got an idea. I checked to make sure no one was looking. I grabbed some of the left over enchiladas and I chucked it at her. It landed smack dab in the middle of her apron and she squealed. 

She looked up, and stared at me straight in the eye. " Oh it's on! ". she snatched up a handful of mash potatoes and threw them right at me. I ducked at the last minute and it landed on one of the Harpy's tail feathers. She turned around squinting her eyes at us as if we did something before turning back around. We immediately started laughing like crazy before continuing on. We threw the closest food that we could get our hands on. She grabbed some grapes and started chucking them at me. I grabbed a cup full of soda and started to chase her around the kitchen. I slipped on some soap. She tried to catch me but ended falling down with me.  " DOWN WE GO!" I screamed.  I caught her fall and she fell right on me, and all I could do was stare. Despite the food in her hair, she still looked beautiful. Without realizing it we were both leaning in, we were right about to kiss when Chiron came in, I guess the harpy found the mashed potatoes on her tail. Well there went me kissing her. 

" What are you two doing??!?! You were supposed to wash the dishes, NOT HAVE A FOOD FIGHT! ". Chiron shouted. She quickly got off of me and helped me up.

" Sorry Chiron it won't happen again ". She said.

" I'll make sure of that> GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN ". He bellowed. Wow was someone mad. He didn't need to tell us twice. I grabbed her hand and we ran out as fast as we could. We ran all the way to her cabin and hid in the back.

" Why are we hiding?"  She giggled.

" I don't know he seemed pretty mad ". I guess we just realized what we had done and we burst into a fit of laughter. 

" You're so beatiful Katie. Do you know that? ".

She blushed and looked away. " I think I hit you with to many mash potatoes ".

" No I really mean it ".

C'mon Travis, its now or never. I leaned in and I kissed her. She immediatly responded and wrapped her hands in her hair. I felt her smile in the kiss and I did the same. I was so happy. We stood there kissing for about ten minutes before she ended it.

I couldn't stop smiling. I didn't want to end it but I had to. It was getting late and my siblings would be wondering were I would be. I was walking towards the door when he grabbed my hand spun me around and gave me one last kiss. " Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow. " He said. I couldn't answer because I was smiling to much so I simply waved him goodbye and went into my cabin and fell on my bed lookin up at the ceiling.

" Hey Katie, were have you been?". Miranda asked.

I looked over at her and said " BEST DAY EVER!", and it really was.
