KATIE'S P.O.V.

I was peacefully sleeping in my room when my phone rang loudly. I scrambled to get up hoping I didn't wake the others up. I quickly answered the phone and walked out to the back of the cabin. 

" Katie, Katie, Katie, we miss you so much! you haven't called in forever how has your summer been? How are you and Travis!? We ju--". Who ever was talking on the other end of the phone was talking way too much.

" Whoa, whoa sow down, who is this?". It was too early in the morning to be speaking to someone with this much enthusiasm and the aching pain in my chest seemed to sink deeper as I recalled the previous days events.

"Has my voice changed that much since school? it's me Cher, Why haven't you called? We've missed you so much ".

" Oh hey Cher, sorry i just woke up, of course I wouldn't recognize you, sorry I haven't called, things have been busy at camp, and I already told you we aren't allowed to have cellphones at my camp." I swear this girl had the memory of a goldfish.

" Yeah sorry I forgot. Silly me! Anyway me Layla and Jo got your parents wedding invitation, we cant wait! ". I rubbed my forehead, I had completely forgot about the wedding, it was going to be next week, and I had to get the wonderful news that Travis was going to be the one walking me down the aisle as a bridesmaid. I was so mad that I  almost broke my foot  kicking a tree and found an angry nymph instead.

" How's the girls? How's home?"

" The girls are good, We are actually all in California right now. Well I came to shop for like a few days and then the girls just decided to tag along. We wanted you to come but we know how important this camp thing is to you and you wouldn't answer your phone."

" Oh well that's ok ". It's not like I didn't mind, I wish I would've gone but I couldn't. Camp didn't give me much of an option to travel, I felt safe here but knowing a demigods life span, it made me wonder what I would miss out on life and the places I might not be able to live to see. I just couldn't wait until I tell them my secret next year about the whole demigod thing so I wouldn't have to be so secretive about everything in my life.

" So how are you and Travis? ". I groaned out in frustration before telling her about everything.

" Wow, who knew you guys would actually end up liking each other, I'm so sorry Katie. I wish I was there to help you."

" Nah it's fine, I'm kind of getting over it ". Well wasn't that the best lie ever. My first heart break and I still had to see the guy everyday. I wanted nothing more than time to pass and to be eventually over all of this. I wanted to scrub away the few good memories we had and relish in all the pain he had caused me so I could remember him as who he truly was. I wanted to forget him and the embarrassment he had made me feel.

" Good, for you. Anyway I gotta go, were about to go to the beach, I'll see you next week at the wedding!"

" Bye ".

After she hung up I sat against the cabin until the sound the conch for breakfast pushed me out of my thoughts. I got up and went to change before going to breakfast. I met up with my cabin, made my blessing to my mom, and went to eat.

 I was eating when Miranda sat down next to me. 

" So who were you talking to so early this morning? ". She raised her eyebrow before I got what she was saying.

" I was just to the gi-- ". As I was answering her she elbowed me hard in the side. " Ow! What was that fo- ". She once cut me off again and made me turn around. The Hermes table was behind us. Travis was behind me on the other side staring. I could make him jealous, I was probably so going to regret this later.

I tried to talk as loudly as I could without making it seem obvious as to what I was doing. " Oh you know just that guy from my school um Cas? ". Hopefully Travis wouldn't know I was just talking about a guy from a TV show and that would be embarrassing if he did. First he cheated and now I am making up fake scenarios, I don't know what was more pathetic.

" Oh my gosh Katie, you should see his face! He's fuming ". She whispered. I could turn around and check but that would be obvious that I was talking about him. 

" Yeah, we might even start pursuing something  soon, who know's he is very cute."  I know what I was doing was cliche, but it wasn't as fun as I thought. I didn't want to be making up fake scenarios about a non-existent boy. I wanted to be thinking about my day with Travis, wondering what we would be up to, what stupid jokes he would make, what tricks he would have up his sleeves. I didn't want any of this.

I kept talking to Miranda about this "Cas" hoping Travis was listening all along and my story wasn't getting lost into oblivion. I finished my breakfast saying I had to call Cas, when in reality I just had to go the strawberry fields.

I was on my way when I bumped into Lou Ellen. Relief washed over her as she saw me. "Katie, oh my gods I've been looking for you! " Why would she be looking for me? We never really talked much.

" Oh, um did you need something?" I hope I wasn't sounding rude, the few times we talked she seemed sweet enough, but my mood had been dampened by breakfast and I wanted nothing more than to be alone tending to my plants. If there was one thing I could fix in my life it could only be my garden, not men.

" Well, last week Drew told me to make a potion to essentially control them, she told me it was for revenge on the twins for doing a  prank so I was like yeah that makes sense they've snubbed everyone here, but then I left for a few weeks and when I came back I heard about you and Travis's break up, so when I asked one of the girls they told me what happened and it just kind of clicked for me because no one was talking about any pranks pulled on them. So I really think she must have used it on Terra to get you guys to break up and I'm so sorry if I would have known I wouldn't have made it for her ". By the time she finished she was out of breath, and I felt my heart drop. 

Terra was right, Travis was right, I was wrong. What was I supposed to do now? I couldn't just walk up to him and be like Hey Travis find out you're right and I'm sorry will you take me back?". I mean I could but it seemed weird. But first things first I had to go apologize to Terra, right after the strawberry fields.

___________________AFTER_THE_STRAWBERRY_FIELDS____________________________


Saying I was dirty was an understatement. I barely had enough time to make myself look decent and take a shower. When I finished I ran as fast as I could to the Aphrodite Cabin. I knocked on the cabin door and waited. Finally some opened the door. It  was Terra.

She looked shocked to see me standing there. I mean I wasn't surprised, I hadn't talked to her since me and Travis broke up.

" Katie, what are you doing here?".

" I'm sorry, about everything, I found out what happened and I just want to say Im sorry ". I stood there waiting for her to take my apology. So after a few minutes of waiting, or I think it was a few minutes, I don't know I wasn't counting, it just seemed like forever. 

" Katie, you must be really dull if it took you this long for you to figure this out, anyway how are you going to get Travis back?".

 I was dumbfounded, how the heck does she forgive people this easily? I mean well technically I didn't do anything wrong but still. " Umm.. I don't know do you have any ideas?".

" No, jeez I don't think about this in my free time, you know some of us actually have a life unlike you ". Well at least it was good to know she didn't change during these few weeks.

" But for now, operation Travis is on!".

HIII sorry I would have updated earlier but I had a HUGE writers block about all of this and Im not even so sure about thi chapter but I hope its good. So comment, vote , read and share, and have  a good night Yall!
