Katie's pov.
Once we get to the pavilion, I sit down at the Demeter table. Everyone stops talking and stares at me. "what?" I ask them. Miranda Gardiner smiles at me and glances at the Hermes table. "you and Travis huh, have you told Valentina?" Oh no. I feel my face get red and I stand back up. "no! it's not like that! He was just helping me..." I try but it's no use. The rest of the table is now smiling and laughing amongst themselves. Great. Just what I needed today. I make a mental note to talk to Valentina about this, maybe she can help sort out my feelings... Valentina Diaz is one of my best friends, daughter of Aphrodite.
I walk up to the fire. "Demeter, please help me. I don't even know if I like Travis..." Do I? I've always hated him... but this afternoon was kind of fun. No, stop torturing yourself Katie. You have no time for self-pity and no time for a boy. Especially a Stoll boy...
It's after dinner, after evening chores, even a couple hours after lights-out...and now I'm staring at the top of my bunk, not able to sleep. I'm not sure why...I've never felt this way before. I've never been one to lose sleep thinking about a boy. Ugh I'm torturing myself again. Another while passes, but I still can't get his image out of my head. His curly brown hair, bright blue eyes, and that perfect, mischievous smile. I finally can't stand it anymore and I go outside, to the backside of cabin 4, and climb the thick ivy growing on the back wall. I don't stop until I reach the roof, where I sit down and stare at the woods when something catches my eyes. I see two dark shadows running into the woods. I try to forget it, but my curiosity gets the best of me. I follow them deep into the woods, for about another 10 minutes, until they stop at a section in the woods I've never been, a beautiful narrow stream cutting into a large grove of trees. Even in the moonlight, I can see a huge field of flowers in the distance, violets, daisies, and a bunch more I could name if I had the time. I crouch down by the nearest oak tree and listen. "here we are. No one should be able to hear or find us." A familiar voice says; Valentina Diaz from the Aphrodite cabin. No surprise there, cabin 10 campers always have a date. But the next voice takes me by surprise. "Are you sure? Because I seriously cannot make myself more of a joke than I already am." "Please, Travis. You're the son of Hermes, god of basically all joking matter." My eyes tear up and I quickly run back to camp. How could she do this? I told her everything!
By the time I get back to camp it's about 2:30 in the morning but I know I'll never be able to fall back asleep...
