Campfire was jus about over. Chiron was making some final announcements. War Council tomorrow, Capture the Flag, the usual. He was about to release us to bed, when Travis stood up.

Oh no. This can't be good. Whenever one of the Stolls stand up, it's never a good thing. Last time Connor stood, well let's just say everyone still finds the color on their pillows in the morning.

"I have a important question to ask." He announced. He seemed nervous. A nervous Stoll? That's new. What could he of all people be nervous about?

He glanced at Piper from the Aphrodite cabin in a 'are you sure about this?' way. She nodded and did a 'go on' gesture. If it were any other Aphrodite kid, I'd assume the worst. But this was Piper telling him to do something, she's the most sensible person that lives in that pastel barbie house, so it must be a good thing. All I can hope is that Piper is thinking straight.

Travis climbed down the bleachers his cabin was sitting on. He walked around the bonfire and stopped in front of my siblings and I. His hands were fidgety, and he was biting his lip. The fire flames grew as everyone wondered what was going on.

Travis took a deep breath. "Katie," he started. Gods, this can't be good at all. "I really like you, and I don't always know how to show it." Yes, because putting chocolate bunnies on my roof is the answer. "And, I apologize for everything mean I've ever done to you." I'm not sure that one sentance covers it. "But, will you go out with me?"

I'm blushing and I'm speechless. I'm silent for too long, processing what he said. "Please say something." I catch him mutter. I finally proces it. Travis Stoll, my half-mortal enemy, just asked me out.

I don't know what to say. I don't really want to like him, but my my heart disagrees. It does speed up when ever I see him, and that's not just because I'm chasing him at top speed. And he is cute with his short curls and impish grin.

I don't want to embarrass him in front of the whole camp, but I don't want them to know I like him. Not yet anyway. But how to do it?

It's simple, I can't. I have to say yes. To keep true to my heart, and to keep him from getting humiliated.

I stand up and step down the bleachers. I'm eye level with him. He's looking at me with hope and fear.

I pull him into a hug, my lips by his ear. "Gods Travis," I whisper. "Do you know long I've been waiting?"

THE END

PLEASE REVIEW! It would mean ALOT.
