Second Chapter! Woot! Thanks to Dontforget2rememberme for the story idea… :)
I don't care if you're a flamer, 'cause now I'm writing my disclaimer!
Wow, that sucked.
Recap!
"What did she do?" asked Lilli, enraptured.
"I- I don't know," she replied. She lay back with her head on her pillow. "I don't know."
Outside the window, a certain Hermes boy with curly brown hair and bright green eyes was pressing his ear against the wall, straining his ears to hear what was going on. He was very interested in the story being told. He also was really digging this Trevor person. Sounds like someone he might like to hang with sometime, he mused.
To Katie's relief, the conch horn blew a long blast signaling that it was time for supper.
Saved by the bell- er, horn, Katie thought.
"I'm going to go get ready. You run on ahead and save me a spot," She told Lilli Grace.
The small child skipped away, slamming the door behind her. Katie winced as the windows rattled like they were crying in pain. What would she wear?
Outside the cabin…
Lilli approached Travis, who was crouching behind the cabin. She put her hands on her hips and stuck out her hand. "Pay up, I haven't got all day," Lilli said. Travis dug in his pocket. "Will this do?" he said hopefully, holding out a drachma in an open palm.
Raising her eyebrows, she rolled her eyes, "Travis, I'm not stupid."
"Fine," he grumbled, "Here's five for your trouble."
"Eight," she quickly countered.
"Seven."
Pausing, she relented. "Fine, but next time, it'll be a set rate of seven plus two cokes."
She turned skipped away, the picture of innocence and purity.
Yeah, right.
Travis started creeping stealthily back to his cabin, humming the mission impossible theme. When he heard the noise he knew so well, the noise of the Demeter cabin's door creaking open, he sprinted for the bushes across from the cabin, which happened to be the Ares cabin.
He fell down on his butt and nearly shouted a long string of curses when he landed on some barbed wire. He warily crept to Poseidon's side of the bushes and waited. The door opened to the cabin and out stepped the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Even setting sun seemed to reach to cast its fading light on her gorgeous face. She wore a light black tank top with a green and black checked jacket that matched. Her short-shorts showed off her long tan legs and she wore black flip-flops. After looking both ways, she sprinted in the direction of the mess hall. Travis's reverie was interrupted by a sudden downpour of water from the cabin's roof. Great. He just couldn't win, could he? Shaking the water out of his dripping hair, he ran towards the mess hall after Katie. It was barbecue night.
Katie silently scraped off the half of the juiciest part of her Barbecue into the fire.
Demeter, she prayed, out of habit.
As an afterthought, she scraped the other half she had saved and dumped it in also.
Aphrodite, help me find the one who deserves my first kiss.
The sweet scent of evergreen mixed with perfume wafted to Katie's nose.
I will.
Wow. That was weird. Still, they were demigods… she had seen and heard weirder.
She sat down at the table next to Miranda and glanced up at the Hermes table into bright blue eyes. She blushed and looked down.
Capture the flag was tonight, and she was against the Hermes team. This was going to be good.
Sorry it's not longer! Love you guys! Thanks for the views 'n' reviews. ;)
