Tratie

Travis

So I changed Will to Lee Fletcher, for two reasons

1) I mentioned earlier Will looking at Katie like she was the best thing in the world or something like that. In Rick Riordan's world, you have only one soul mate, and that sentence described Katie as Will's, not Nico's. (Solangelo is so cute!)

2) You'll have to wait and see. Mwuahahaha. If you've recently read/reread the PJO series (Like me) you might remember why. Or if you're a diehard fan who basically has the books memorized.

3) I haven't read the new Apollo series yet, so I don't really know Will's personality. Lee's personality, however, is like modeling clay so I can make him act however I want.

Travis

The door swung open, revealing a stunned Katie.

"Aphrodite!!!" she shouted, shaking her fist at the sky.

I looked around the room as she continued to cuss at the goddess of love. It was small, not bigger than the Hermes cabin's bathroom. There was a beanbag chair that she was sitting in. Vines trailed along the walls and ceiling, giving the room a peaceful feeling, along with a calming scent that was coming from the off-white flowers that were attached to the vines. A small leather-bound journal sat closed next to a silver flower on an end table that was a branch coming through the floor boards of the tree house. There was a bookshelf in the corner that was made again, out of tree branches that happened to form in rows, like shelves. A small garden took up the rest of the room, with a hammock hanging above it, which Katie had been clearly using as a bed.

"Are you going to say something Travis, or keep staring at me?"

I blushed and muttered under my breath, "It's too hard to look away."

She scrunched her eyebrows together, looking adorable and asked, "What?"

"Nothing." I said, a bit too quickly.

She raised an eyebrow, impossibly cute as rolled her eyes."Whatever."

"Look Travis, I'm gonna get straight to the point. I forgive you. But I need some more time to gather my thoughts and rest. You're still an innapropiate five year old child. Lee asked me to date him, and I said yes. I'm sorry, but you're too late like usual."

She rubbed her forehead with her fingers "Sorry, that was rude. I still need coffee. But can we still be friends?"

I slightly recall numbly nodding my head.

I walked back to my cabin, barely reconizing what was going on around me.

I sat down on my bunk.

The top bunk belonged to Connor, but it was lunchtime, so of course no one was here.

I was alone.

Alone with my thoughts.

All I could hear were her words repeating in my head.

"Five year old child..."

"Not good enough.."

"Innapropiate"

"Too late....."

"Like usual..."

"Lee won."

When that last phrase slipped into my mind, I understood what she meant.

I was a child.

Maybe it all had just been a refusal to let Lee beat me at something.

All fake.

Using Katie as an object.

She deserved better.

So I would be better.

A/N Sorry that's such a short chapter, but I felt like that was a good place to end it. And sorry for not posting in so long!! Also, schools out in two days!!!! After 4th of July, I will become more active on this, especially if my computer is fixed. But hopefully I'll update in the future. I know what I'm going to write, I'm just lazy.
