Travis POV

I stared quietly at my foggy bathroom mirror, the steam rolling in waves, lapping my water beaded skin and dissipating out the bathroom door. I wiped the mirror with my hand, creating a small circle of clarity. I retightened my towel around my hips and adjusted my stance. "Hey Kates." Oh god. This is so fucking embarrassing.

I turned around and looked back into my messy cabin. It was empty. "Hello?" The worn, wooden walls gave no reply. I was all alone.

Reassured, I resumed my stance and cleared my throat. Round 2. "So…Katherine Gardner." Holy shit, no. I let out a frustrated sigh. Jesus, what are you, airport security?

I gripped my hands around the edges of my sink. "Ok, Travis. You can do this. It's Katie. No sweat."

I watched as a bead of water slid down my nose. Plop. I stood up and leaned back, swinging my arms back and forth. Here we go. "Hey Katie. I uh," a nervous laugh escaped my lips, as I slicked back my wet hair, "I was thinking, maybe…uh…um…you and me-oh wait erm, you and I could uh… talk."

"Oh. My. GODS." I whipped around to see Connor bursting with laughter, leaning heavily against the cabin door. "Holy shit, I can't BREATHE." He wheezed as he staggered into the room, tears welling in his eyes.

Fucker. I turned on the tap, splashed some water on my face and toweled off. "Screw you, Connor."

He sniffled, "It's just," I paced into the room hastily, towel in hand, "I knew you were pathetic but-OW". Got'em.

He rubbed his ass as I untwisted my damp towel. "Not a fucking word."

"You know I knew you had a thing for the new girl." He winced as he sat down on his bed. "I could help you out if you-"

"Don't even think about it." I grabbed my boxers and threw a shirt on. Ok. Now, clean shorts. "How'd you get in here anyway without making noise?"

"I'm a son of Hermes."

I chuckle as I slather on deodorant. "Fair enough."

As I picked up a pair of workout shorts off the floor, Connor giggled. "Um, erm, uh, K-Katie?" I shot him a glare before sniffing my shorts. Meh. As I pulled them up, Connor pressed on. "W-will you b-be my girlfriend?" The little shit. I put on some socks and laced up my sneakers as he cleared his throat. "Oh, Travis," he said in a high voice, "Yes! Let's make sweet passionate love!" Oh lord. "Ok Katie. Let's!"

"You are five." I leapt up and searched for my phone. Where is it?

Meanwhile, Connor was digging deep for his Oscar. That or 3 million views on Pornhub. "Uh. Yeah. Right there. Uh. Nuh."

"Quit it, Connor, you sick bastard."

"Oh YES. YES. TRAV. YES, RIGHT THERE!"

"Knock it off!" I threw a bottle of shampoo at him and snatched my phone off the bathroom counter. I'm out of here.

I heard Connor chortle as he lounged back on his bed. "She doesn't even notice you."

I picked up my workout bag and sped for the door. "She will today."

Katie POV

"Jamie, no. No party, no presents."

It has been two weeks since I arrived at Camp Half Blood. Two weeks since leaving dad. My heart twinged as I thought about that sandy haired man in his farming jeans and flannel. Gosh, I miss him.

"Aw come on." My newfound friend, Jamie, settled next to me on my bed. Jamie was a daughter of Apollo and basically my closest friend at the Camp so far besides my other siblings. She was this stunning, blond-haired, blue-eyed doll hailing all the way from South Carolina. Despite her fragile looks, though, she could be pretty damn feisty. She practically saved me from getting beat up by this bulky girl, Clarisse. "Now Clarisse," Jamie had said. "If you don't leave her alone, my brothers and sisters and I will charm you into spouting rhymes all day. Again. So BACK OFF."

I smiled at the memory. She was sassy alright.

Jamie pouted. "Please Katie! I know you are new and all and probably still adjusting to everything, but a party would be perfect for you to meet everyone! Plus," She leaned in closer, eyes gleaming, "we could get you mingling with some fine demigod gentlemen if you know what I'm saying."

I rolled my eyes and blushed a bit. Aw hell.

"Oh and speaking of guys, anyone specific I should ask around about? Dawn from Athena? Ooh! He looked so cute, yesterday at the climbing wall! You guys would be so-"

"Jamie?"

"Sorry. So is that a yes?"

I looked around the room and found a photograph of me and dad taped to my bedpost. He would want me to have fun. I sigh. "Alright. Throw me a birthday party. But no presents!"

Jamie was bouncing up and down. "Whoo YES! Y'all we are having a party! I'll go tell Annabeth, she's always good at organizing. Oh and I'll see if I can get Lacy to give me dets on eligible guys, I'll be right back!" The door slammed after her and immediately dread began to settle in my stomach. Blurgh.

I checked the time and groan internally. Shit. Archery. As I got ready, I couldn't help but think about the so called "demigod gentlemen" in my class. Yeah, Dawn was there. He was pretty cute. Blond, grey eyed beauty. Like a mini 15-year-old Nordic god. But, there was another guy I think that caught my eye. He was super tall and lanky, kinda awkward and he had really curly mouse brown hair. But, what really got me were his eyes. They were such a pretty blue. I thought about them as I jogged out of my cabin. Yeah. He was pretty cute.

If only I knew his name.

R&R!
