Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story apart from the very annoying Jessica Fletcher.
Chapter 1- Jealousy
Katie Gardner was jealous. There was no other way of describing it. She'd told Jessica Fletcher everything and that bitch had thrown herself at Travis the first chance she got. So Katie was jealous.
Katie had told Jessica all about her crush on Travis and the feeling he had that he pranked her to get her attention. Jessica had pretended to care but as soon as Katie's back was turned she sunk her claws into him. The day Katie had discovered them was burned into her brain.
Flashback
Katie was walking in the woods, looking for Travis. She had decided to tell him about her feelings for him.
"Travis" Jessica's sickly sweet voice asked making her stop in her tracks.
"Yeah" Travis answered. Katie dived behind a tree. She seemed to be spying on Travis a lot lately.
"Will you go out with me?" Jessica asked. Anger shot through Katie. She strained her ears but couldn't hear Travis' answer. Frustrated she peeked round the tree.
Her heart plummeted at the sight of them kissing and she ran back to her cabin tears threatening to fall any minute.
End Flashback
Katie dug the trowel into the ground pretending that it was Jessica's face. It helped with her anger. She hadn't spoken to Travis ever since he told her the news.
Flashback
Katie walked out of her cabin furiously drying her eyes. She headed for the strawberry fields hoping they would help her cope with the pain. All of a sudden she walked into someone. She looked up. It was Travis.
"Hey,Katie" Travis said. "Guess what?"
"What" she asked a sinking feeling in her stomach.
"I have a new girlfriend" Travis announced.
"Oh,who?" Katie asked trying to hold back tears. Travis opened his mouth to answer but a voice cut across him.
"Me!" Jessica announced running over. "Right, honey?" she asked flinging her arms around Travis and giving him a kiss on the cheek. Travis nodded.
Katie couldn't stand it any longer. She burst into tears and ran to the strawberry fields. Behind her she could hear Jessica telling Travis that her crush had a new girlfriend. Got that right Katie thought bitterly.
End Flashback
Katie sank down to the base of the tree, put her head in her hands, and cried. She wasn't ashamed. But why,just why, did hher life have to be so unfair? And why did everyone she'd ever loved have to break her heart. She guessed that the talk she'd had with Aphrodite was kind of true.
Flashback
Katie was walking past the edge of the forest when she saw a woman sitting on the ground.
"Can I help you?" she asked. The woman looked up and Katie gasped.
The woman was stunning. She had brown hair and big green eyes. However as she watched her appearance changed until she was blonde with big blue eyes. Katie was instantly jealous. All of the boys seemed to think that was what girls should look like. The problem was,she didn't look like that. But she knew who the woman was.
"Aphrodite" she said. The woman smiled and placed a finger to her lips.
"I'm here to talk to a couple of people about there love life, you're one of them"Aphrodite said excitedly. Inside Katie groaned,you did not want Aphrodite taking an interest in your love life.
Katie politely listened to Aphrodite talk about how she was going to have heartbreaks but would eventually get a happy ending. After she'd finished the goddess got up, walked away and vanished in a burst of golden light.
End Flashback
Katie thought about Aphrodite's words. Her heart was defientily getting broken, at the moment. However the goddess had said that she would get a happy ending. That was very rare for a demigod. But who was it with? Maybe... Travis?
Katie silently cursed. Why did she have to think about Travis? Every time he was mentioned she wanted to break down in tearor attack something.
Katie Gardner was defientily jealous. There was no other way of describing it.
AN: So that's the first chapter. What do you think. I had a lot of flashbacks in there. II wasn't expecting their to be so many but Oh,we'll.
