I, sadly, do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians nor any other characters from Rick Riordan's amazing series. *cry cry* This is my first fanfic so please be gentle, any criticism is appreciated though harsh, biased flames are not.

Travis POV

I had stolen many, many things. From Chiron's hoof polish to Annabeth's diary (now that's some serious blackmail material!) Problem was, the one thing I wanted most, was the only thing I couldn't snatch away. And that, was one daughter of Demeter's heart. Katie Gardner. And she hated me.

It started the day Connor and I put those damned chocolate bunnies on the roof of the Demeter cabin; I didn't even know that Katie even existed. She stormed out of her cabin, green eyes flaring and sicked me in the jaw. And I fell in love with her.

From the day of the chocolate bunny incident, there's always been a rivalry between us. I prank her to get her attention and she'll tell me off. It was how things were. I admired from afar, aching to get closer. Connor had figured things out last week, when I brought Katie up several times in our conversation about the Camp Dance next Tuesday. Being my super close younger brother, my partner in crime, my best friend, Connor decided to help me, and besides, he did have Fern Hallows, daughter of Aphrodite as his girlfriend.

"OK dude, no matter how much I have hated Gardner in the past, I'm gonna help you get her, bro. And based on what Fern's been telling me, she has a little something for you too!" Connor said.

"Before anything, you need to apologize. I can't believe I'm saying this but, apologize to Katie and tell her we never meant to hurt her," Connor advised.

The Next Day:

I was watching Katie tending her strawberries in the field. Her straight brown hair framed her face glinting with sunlight. (OMFG I sound like a lovestruck idiot.) well, maybe I am one.

"Hey Katie" I said. She narrowed her eyes.

"What do you want Travis?" she spat.

"Listen, um, I've been meaning to tell you something," I said. Where was my confidence? I'd asked tons of girls out before! But this, I reminded myself, was Katie.

"Is this a prank, cause if it is I'm done with you and your crazy brother," Katie accused.

"No, I swear this isn't prank. In fact it's the opposite, I want to apologize, for every prank and every name I've called you, cuz Katie, I, I love you." I said, looking her in the eye.

"R-really?" she asked, looking at her feet. Time to turn on the charm. I put two fingers underneath her chin and lifted her face so she was looking at me.

"I loved you since the day you socked me in the jaw. It was love at first pain," I whispered, leaning forward. Katie smiled and said,

"I never thought you would ever feel that way," she leaned forward. I cupped her cheek in my hand and kissed her softly.

"Awwwwwww, wittle Travis has wittle girlfwend!" A familiar voice came from behind me.

"Connor!" we turned and said at the same time. Katie was tomato red and guessing Connor's mocking expression, I was too. I looked her with that goofy grin and glint of mischief in my eye that she seemed to love so much. Revenge.

Chapter Two: Revenge will be coming out soon. Please Read and Review for better stories. Thanks!
