Abigail was bouncing up and down with excitement.
"This is going to be the best birthday party EVER!" she turned to me "Thanks Katie for singing, I can invite Travis to come if you would like!"
"NO! I mean he's busy pranking people that day he told me he had something planned for the Hephaestus cabin." I replied quickly.
"ok, that's fine I just don't know how to pay you back"
"you are paying me"
"other than the 20 drchmas, which is extremely cheap, to hire an Apollo kid would cost us like 50 drachmas! But we couldn't get anyone else to come so we had to pay them"
"It's fine really! Are there any songs you want me to sing or do you want me to choose?"
"Whatever is fine, just as long as you're singing it!"
I smiled "Ok. Whatever it is"
"Bye Katie, see you tonight"
"What was that about?"
I tuned around to see Travis, of course.
"I'm singing for Abigail's birthday"
"Cool"
"Let me guess, Connor is busy with his girlfriend and you have nothing to do"
"Katie please help me!"
"Want to go to the beach?"
"Ya sure"
"Meet you back here in 5, k?"
"Ok bye"
FIVE MINUTES LATER
"Ready?" Travis asked
"Ya. Last one to the beach has to jump in first!" I yelled
So we raced to the beach and I won but when I looked back to see if Travis was out of breath I found him walking. Like he hadn't tried.
"Travis" I growled
"Yes Katie-Kat"
"Did you ev-"
Before I could finish my sentence, Travis picked me up bridal style and threw me in!
"I said loser had to get in first!" I yelled when I resurfaced
"No you said jump in" then he jumped in "I just jumped in first, you were thrown in"
His smirk was so big I was surprised it stayed on his face. I splashed him so he would stop smirking but he didn't he just splashed me back and it went on like that. (A/N: HA! That rhymed! Sorry go back to reading)
That Night
"Do we have the soda?"
"Yes"
"Do we have the streamers?"
"Yes"
"Do we have the choco-"
"Yes"
"Katie….."
"Yes"
"Are you just saying yes after 5 seconds?"
"Yes"
"KATIE!"
"Sorry Abigail I'm just tired I guess"
"Don't worry you don't have to help me get ready you need to though"
"ok thanks"
"Oh look! Here comes Bailey!"
I shook my head, went behind stage and out a door to a wooden wall.
I turned to look at the back of the stage. It was completely different from the front. I saw all the people running around getting ready. Few people went on stage but millions were behind. Then I froze and reached for my dagger then quickly turned around and threw my dagger.
"Travis?"
"Hi Katie! How are you?" Travis asked nervously
I looked at my knife it was in his jacket, leaving him stuck.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was going to surprise you and wish you luck but I couldn't find you in the front, and Abigail told me to go away that I would only distract you" Travis smiled when he saw her blush and rubbed his neck nervously. "That's why I came back here to look for you." Katie smiled at his nervousness which was a side of Travis people normally didn't get the pleasure of seeing. Katie glanced down at her watch and gasped. "Oh gosh! I've got to go! By Travis" she said reaching up to peck him on the cheek.
I Just made it to the stage as they were calling out my name.
"Now please enjoy your selves and listen to Katie Gardner's new song The Best Damn Thing!"
"Hi guys I recently wrote this song, so tell me if it works!"
Let me hear you say hey hey hey
Alright
Now let me hear you say hey hey ho
I hate it when a guy doesn't get the door
even though I told him yesterday and the day before
I hate it when a guy doesn't get the tab
And I have to pull my money out and that looks bad
Where are the hopes, where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see
[Chorus:]
That you're not not not gonna get any better
You won't won't won't you won't get rid of me never
Like it or not, even though she's a lot like me
We're not the same
And yeah yeah yeah I'm a lot to handle
You don't know trouble, I'm a hell of a scandal
Me, I'm a scene, I'm a drama queen
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
Alright, alright
Yeah
I hate it when a guy doesn't understand
Why a certain time of month I don't wanna hold his hand
I hate it when they go out, and we stay in
And they come home smelling like their ex girlfriends
I found my hopes, I found my dreams
My Cinderella story scene
Now everybody's gonna see
[Chorus]
One, two, three, four
Where are the hopes, where are the dreams
My Cinderella story scene
When do you think they'll finally see
[Chorus]
Let me hear you say hey hey hey
Alright
Now let me hear you say hey hey ho
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I'm the best damn thing that your eyes have ever seen
"Encore!" Abigail, Bailey and others yelled
"Um. Ok, I wasn't going to do this one but since you asked I can do another song I have I have been working on.
Tear up the photographs, but yesterday won't let go
Every day, every day, every minute
Here comes the emptiness, just can't be lonely you know
Every day, every day, hey, hey
This second chancin's really getting me down
You give and takin' everything I dreamed about
It's time you let me know, let me know, just let go
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
Where every law reveals the truth
Baby 'cause I all ever wanted, all I ever wanted was you
I'd rather walk alone, don't wanna chase you around
Every day, every day, every minute
I fall a thousand times for I let you drag me down
Every day, every day, hey, hey
Your new beginning was a perfect ending
But I keep feeling we've already been here before
It's time you let me know, let me know, just let go
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
Where every law reveals the truth
Baby 'cause I all ever wanted, all I ever wanted was
Tell me with so many out there why I always turn to you?
Your goodbyes tear me down every time
And it's so easy to see that the blame is on me
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was a simple way to get over you
All I ever wanted, all I ever wanted
Was an in between to escape this desperate scene
Where every law reveals the truth
Baby 'cause I all ever wanted, all I ever wanted was you
"Ya! Go Katie"
"That was awesome Katie!"
"you rock Katie!"
"Thanks guys!" I waved and left the stage.
I looked around for my jacket not finding it where I put it.
"Looking for something?" I turned around to see Travis holding up my jacket.
"Travis give me my jacket back" I growled
"Fine here you go"
"Thank you! Goodbye!"
DEMETER CABIN(EMPTY)
"Katie" I heard someone whisper "Katie!"
I quickly turned around.
"Oh dad its just you!"
I looked at my dad through the Iris Message
"Katie why didn't you tell me you were famous?"
I'm not…."
"Then explain the youtube video and all the phone calls from record companies trying to produce your music!"
"Ohhhh ya sorry about that…."
"Your songs are on youtube and already has thousands of hits!"
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Oh my GODS!"
"And I got you an agent!"
"WHO?"
"ME!"
"…dad…"
"…yea…."
"Is that it because I have to go?"
"No, someone asked for you to represent her clothing line"
"WHO?"
"Alica"
"Alica, as in the woman who designs and owns Domino's Fashion Line?"
"yes"
"OH MY GODS"
"I KNOW"
"I LOVE YOU DAD"
"I LOVE ME TOO"
"really dad"
"Chiron and I have discussed and you are coming out to LA to meet her"
"REALLY?"
"YES"
"Oh my this is a lot to process…..."
"I'll need you to come to LA in 2 days so we can talk business"
"Ok, Bye dad!"
"Bye Katie"
I sat on my bed and looked at a wall.
That's when I fainted.
"Katie?"
"Katie?"
"Wha?" I said groggily
"Katie! You're alive!"
"No duh"
I slowly opened my eyes to see Chrys(daughter of Demeter), Lexxi, Travis, Chiron, and Casper(son of Hermes) looking at me. (A/N: Chrys or Chrysanthemum and Casper are my characters from another story that I'm writing)
"What happened?"
"You passed out." Travis said
"Really?"
"Yup!"
"Oh yea my dad called he said that he wants me in LA."
"Really?" Travis asked
"Yea"
"Because I just got a call from my mom she wants me in LA too."
"Here are your tickets and make sure to stick together incase a monster attacks"
"Yes Chiron" Travis and Conner said smiling
I just rolled my eyes at their stupidity. To them this was the most exciting thing ever because they got to come with me. Idiots.
"Whatever let's just go."
I walked to the SUV which would be taking us to the airport.
"Hey Katie-Kat, why aren't you excited?" Travis asked me
"Because I will be stuck on a plane with you.
"I'm not that bad Katie"
"Your right your worse" I said
But when I looked back I say that I had really hurt Travis so I stopped. I slowly turned around and ran over to him and hugged him with all my strength.
"Travis" I said "I'm so sorry I'm just a bit stressed right now"
Travis just smiled.
"No I shouldn't be trying to bother you while you're so stressed."
I looked up to Travis to see genuine concern on his face then quickly pulled him into a hug.
Travis stiffened at first but quickly hugged me back.
"Oh. Come. On. Let's get going!" Connor yelled
I rolled my eyes then ran over.
"Travis? How high do you think this plane is gonna go?" I nervously asked Travis
"I donno really high?"
"Damn it"
"What's wrong Katie?"
"Well I'm a daughter of Demeter and I really prefer I stay on the ground…"
"Oh…..You want to hold my hand?"
I just glared at him.
"Sorry, sorry just trying to help"
Don't tell anyone I did this but as soon as the plane took off I grabbed Travis' hand so tight I was worried I would cut off his blood circulation. I looked over to see Travis smirking at seeing our hands intertwined. Being to tired to react I pulled my knees to my chest and fell asleep.
