Austin shook his head. "Hm. Guess he changed his mind about the whole thing."

Ignoring him, I tried to keep up with Travis. He was fast, which made it hard to follow.

"He'll calm down," a voice said.

I turned to see Conner, Travis' brother. What was weird for me was that I could immediately tell the difference between them. In a way, they were different. Travis was a little more serious, and when you got to know him, sensitive. "I'm so stupid," I told him.

Conner raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.

"I would choose Travis over everybody," I continued softly. "Always."

"Right, but before you continue on about your mushy feelings, I think you should seriously consider how you hurt my bro."

"Yes, I know. I'll find him." I turned.

"Wait...maybe I'm not supposed to say this, but...Travis likes you. A lot. Just to let you know."

I knew this was way to let me know that Conner accepted my feelings for Travis.


I wasn't exactly sure if I should find Travis, or talk to him in the morning. When I decided to give Travis some space, I settled in my cabin. When I was about to close my eyes, I heard a "Pssh!" sound. Alert, I saw Miranda leaning towards me.

"Heard what happened with Travis," she said.

My face flushed. "Really? How?"

"All of us were watching or heard. After all, we hardly get any news around here." Miranda's eyes gleamed. "So, you like a Stoll?"

"I-I don't know."

"Really, Katie? You're playing that game? Listen, you really love Travis. So why don't you just get him to notice you even more?"

I didn't like the sly look Miranda was giving. "Uh, so what do I do?"

"Easy. You need a makeover! I'm guessing you know where to go..."

I sighed. "Aphrodite Cabin."


The next morning, I ducked my head, hoping nobody would see me. Knocking on the Aphrodite cabin door, it opened with a strong smell of scented perfume.

"Hey," Drew announced. "Yes?"

This was exactly what I was dreading for. "Um, I'm here for a, uh, makeover."

Drew laughed, which I was sure that echoed out. "You, daughter of Demeter?"

"Listen," I snapped. "May I speak to Piper?"

"She's out with Jason."

Gritting my teeth, I tried not to wrap Drew head-to-toe in vines. "When will she be back?"

"How should I know? If your asking me, she does not take being a Head Counsellor seriously."

"Drew, are you bothering her?" Piper appeared at the door.

Looking innocent, Drew pretended to study her nails. "Oh, there you are. Thought you were out with your guy."

"You know that I sleep in!" Piper said, exasperated. Noticing me waiting, she added, "Hey, Katie. Do you need something?"

"Uh, yes. I was wondering for a makeover."

Piper tried not to smile. "Of course. Come right in. Mitchell, Lacey, and a few of my other siblings can help."

"Thank you." I stepped in. Well, if Travis notices me, then this will all be worth it.
