I was bored and so I decided to write a short two-shot. I hope you like it.


Travis POV:

I was hiding behind the Apollo cabin, waiting for his next prank to succeed. I was holding his breath as he heard the door to cabin four open.

"Please be the right person!" I thought as the girl stepped out.

He heard a scream and looked up; Katie Gardener was standing in the doorway of the Demeter cabin looking furious, muddy and in my opinion hot- no wait forget I said that okay. I Never Said That.

"STOLL!" She shouted, shit she was angry.

I waited ten seconds before coming out from behind the cabin.

"Hey, Katie, what happened to you? You look like someone poured mud all over you!" how did I know? Because as usual it was me.

"Stoll, why did you pour mud all over me? Its strawberry season and now I'm not going to be able help my brothers and sisters pick strawberries!" She complained.

She threw her mud soaked jumper at me and as she turned round, and stormed back inside to get changed, I couldn't help but tease her again.

"If you think it was me, why don't you come out here and stop me pranking you all day long!"

Katie turned round, walked up to me, glaring her usual death glare, that glare didn't work on me anymore; her eyes were just too beautiful. Anyway she stalked up to me, and while I was distracted by her gorgeous eyes, she lifted her hand up and slapped me. It was a very loud slap, I'm sure they could hear it up at the big house, the slap left a huge red mark in my cheek.

"OW!" I shouted.

"That was for pranking my cabin again!"

She slapped me again.

"That was for making me miss strawberry picking!"

She slapped me once more.

"That's because I wanted to slap you again!" She turned around and slammed the door in my face. I looked up to pick the mud bucket off from the door frame, and as I looked I saw it wobble, start to fall over and then time seemed to slow down as it fell from the door and hit me on the head. Well to be precise it landed over my head and the last bits of mud covered my face.

"Shit! Really?"

XXX TIME SKIP XXX

I was once again hid behind the Apollo cabin waiting for the next in the series of door frame pranks on Demeter to work. As soon as Katie had left to have a shower I had set up this next prank. The door started to creak open, slowly as if Katie expected another prank- she knows me so well. Once she had decided it was safe she opened the door further and stepped out to the porch of her cabin. At once a bucketful of water tipped onto her head, and she yelled in anger. That wasn't the best part of the prank though. The bucket had some string attached so that when it fell over it pulled a sack of flour over with it the sack hit her in the face as she turned to see what the swinging noise was. The sack burst and flour went everywhere. However since Katie was drenched in water the flour stuck to her like glue. Once again the shout emitted whenever there was trouble escaped her lips.

"STOLL!" She screamed. She looked absolutely infuriated.

I walked up to her as if I had no clue what was going on.

"Hey, what happened here? It looks like a flour bomb exploded all over the place."

"What the fuck, Travis?" She swore, I gulped, Katie hardly ever swore. I was in big trouble. "I told you not to prank me again and then after having a shower to get rid of all that mud, you then decided to coat me in flour! What the hell is your problem?" Her voice was rising with each word.

I knew my plan was risky and I didn't want to jeopardise the last prank I had planned. The last prank would have to wait a few days anyway. I simply apologised and went back to my cabin to finish the details of the rest of the plan

Katie POV:

Who does that boy think he is? First he covers me in mud and then he has the nerve to cover me in flour almost immediately afterwards. What was next? After I slapped him those three times, he looked so shocked, his cute face surprised. Wait did I just say cute? Forget that I didn't mean cute I meant, I meant to call him- no screw that I did mean cute.

"Hey, Daisy!" I called when I finally reached the strawberry field- an hour and a half late. We worked in the fields all morning and when I returned to the mess hall at lunch I could hear snippets of conversations where people were whispering about this morning.

"Slapped him"

"Covered in mud"

"I heard she punched him" Those conversations made sense but as I passed the Aphrodite table they seemed to have a different tale.

"I heard they weren't arguing very much, that they actually just wanted some alone time, if you know what I mean?" WTF I thought when I heard this, and it seems my sister did too.

"Katie, is that true?" Daisy asked gesturing to what the Aphrodite girl had said.

"Gods, no!" I blushed, why would I go out with him "He covered me in mud, so I slapped him three times, then he covered me in water and flour and I was about to punch him, when he apologized and ran off."

"Wait, you blushed when you denied it, do you like him?" She guessed"

"No?" I blushed again.

"Oh my Gods! You do like him!"

"Shut up!"

"You're not denying it!" Daisy pointed out.

"Ok, you're right. He's really nice, when he's not annoying and he can be sweet and caring, remember when I broke my ankle in Capture the flag and he carried me to the infirmary, and also he's really cute."

"That's so cute." She squealed.

"You've been hanging around with Aphrodite kids too much." I replied.

XXX TIME SKIP XXX

I went to sit down at the table for dinner when I saw a letter with my name written on it. I picked it up to read:

To Katie

Sorry about earlier, I was thinking straight. I shouldn't have done the second prank. Come out to behind cabin 10 tonight at midnight and I will explain. Please forgive me Katie, I'm really sorry

Travis

P.S I hope we can be friends.

I reread the letter to make sure I hadn't misread it and then I started an inner debate with myself over whether or not to go. I showed Daisy, who then thought for a minute before telling me to go; I had just reached that conclusion myself.

We were friends it's just that he pranks the Demeter cabin most often, so everyone thinks we hate each other.

XXX TIME SKIP XXX

I went out to the back of the cabins. Travis was waiting for me.

"I'm so sorry, Katie! I pranked you to get your attention. I need to tell you something." I nodded at him to continue "I- Katie I- I think I'm." He seemed lost for words. "Okay, can you come with me to the beach so I can explain in private?"

He led me towards the beach, but at the last minute, he turned off into the woods, I followed warily, expecting a prank any moment but no prank came and he led me into a small clearing in a clump of trees.

"No one knows about this place except me and now you." He said. "There's something I want to tell you."

"There's something I want to tell you too, but you go first." I replied hopefully.

"Look, I know everyone thinks we're enemies, but I really really like you. All the pranks on your cabin were so that I could talk to you, I put up with you slapping me so I could be with you Katie. I-" He stopped speaking when he saw how close I was to him.

"Shut up and kiss me Travis!" I said surprising him so much that he just looked at me in shock. I leant in and touched my lips to his, this seemed to wake him up and he responded enthusiastically, pulling me closer. My hands tangled into his hair and pulled him closer to me while his arms were wrapped around my waist pulling me tighter. The kiss was passionate and after what seemed like forever we pulled back gasping for breath. Our lips were swollen and our hair was messed up, we may have stopped kissing but I stayed in Travis's arms, the two of us just sat there holding each other for a long time. Then Travis finally seemed to work up the courage to speak, he stood up and:

"I, Travis Stoll son of Hermes, am in love with you Katie Gardener daughter of Demeter!" He shouted. I smiled.

"I don't think they heard that in Brooklyn, I'll see if I can do better." I said then I raised my voice as loud as I could. "I, Katie Gardener daughter of Demeter am in love with you Travis Stoll son of Hermes!"

"I love you Katie-Kat." He whispered in my ear before pecking me innocently on the lips. The innocent kiss somehow turned into a full make-out session.

"I love you too." I whispered.

Neither of them cared about the curfew or what their siblings would say as they lay asleep in each other's arms under the stars. They didn't care that everyone would see them coming out the woods together. All that cared to them was each other.
