Katie's PoV
Before the teacher, Mrs. Harrison, had time to introduce Katie to the class a loud "KATIE?" was heard from the back of the class. Everyone turned to the back in surprise. Sam raised his brows at Katie, and she continued to search for the source. Sitting in the back seat, next to an empty seat, sat Connor and Travis Stoll.
"Connor? Travis? What are you two doing here?" Katie said, still staring at the pair.
"We're attending school Katie. What else?" Travis spoke to her in a DUH voice, making Katie feel really dumb. Since when did the Stoll's ever make Katie feel dumb? It was usually the other way round. Her step-sisters were glaring at her again, because she knew the hottest guys…ever according to them, as they had seen the brothers in Katie's photos and they couldn't stop drooling.
The teacher, Mrs. Harrison coughed, getting back the class's attention, as she started speaking,
"Class, this is Katie Gardner, she is returning here after a break of nine years. I want all of you to make her feel welcome back, just like you will with our other new students, whom you have already met. Miss Gardner already seems to know them." Katie blushed slightly at the teachers words. A few faces looked surprised when they heard her name. Did Katie know them?
"Katie, you can sit in…the last seat at the back, between Travis and Connor." Then she continued speaking to the entire class. "You have 15 minutes of registration left before the bell rings, you may do whatever you want, just don't destroy anything. And you can go back to your class now," She said to Sam, the glanced at the class before going back to her desk, and opening a book.
Sam nodded to Katie and left. Taking a deep breath, trying hard not to blush from all the stares, Katie began walking towards the back of the class. Her sister's, Victoria and Veronica, each stuck out a foot into the aisle, as an attempt to trip Katie, but she simply walked over their bedazzled high-heeled shoes.
As she got to the desk she was destined to share with the Stoll's, the two were giving her worried looks. She sat in the chair in between the two and raised an eyebrow.
"Katie, were you attacked? You have a ginormous cut on your face." Connor stated as if it was something he said everyday, which he probably did considering the fact that he was a Demi-god.
"Shoot!" was her only response, as she brought her hand up to her cheek, in a vain attempt to cover the huge cut. After a glance at the Stoll's she lamely replied "I fell." Her voice saying she didn't want to talk about it.
"Anyways, what are you guys doing here? Is this another prank?" Katie demanded, a bit angrily.
"Geez, Katie chillax. We are not her to prank anyone…we are at school to learn. That is what schools tend to do to students." Travis spoke to Katie as if she was 3 years old, his voice filled with fascination.
"Besides, how were we supposed to know you were coming here? Our mum just put us here, because we came to visit." Connor finished Travis' explanation; sounding thoroughly bored and slightly pissed off.
Katie just shook her head at the pair. Travis seemed his normal, cheerful, good-looking self, Did she just say that about Travis Stoll? It made Katie keep a hand on her wallet and anything else she valued, but Connor just seemed annoyed. The prospect of going to school probably irritated him to no end.
"So…what classes do you two have this semester?" Katie said trying to make small talk with the two boys sitting on either side of her.
Both the Stoll's reached into their bags and pulled out a single sheet of paper, which they proceeded to hand to Katie.

Katie couldn't believe her eyes as she read through their schedules. Travis had the exact same classes as her, except Maths, which was just four rooms down from hers. She had the last four lessons, which were P.E, Greek, Music and Drama with both of them. She just raised her brows and handed the three schedules to the two Sons of Hermes, and watched their eyes grow wide as they compared the classes on each sheet.
Katie's attention was drawn from the Stoll's as three girls walked over to them. One had straight chestnut coloured hair, which reached just below her shoulder-blades, and pretty hazel coloured eyes. She had a splash of freckles on her face, making her look really cute. She was wearing a long sleeved light yellow t-shirt with a pattern of hearts on it and fitted sleeves with light denim skinny jeans. The second girl had curly red hair and clear gray, lined with black eyeliner. She was wearing a short black leather jacket over a red shirt and a black shirt and black tights under that. She reminded Katie a bit of Thalia. The last girl had long light blonde hair and clear sky blue eyes. She was wearing a very pale pink shirt with a grey/silver sweater and a denim skirt.
"Umm…Katie?" the blonde girl asked a little hesitantly, and when Katie nodded she continued "Hi! I don't know if you remember us, but I'm Marissa, and this is Lily and Mandy." She said pointing first to the brown haired girl, then the red head. Then Marissa continued, "We were in class together when we were seven."
Katie suddenly remembered the girls standing in front of her she looked up at them and smiled (kicking both Travis and Connor under the table, as they were staring at the girls with their mouths open),
"Of course I remember you guys." She said, it wasn't technically a lie, but not the whole truth either. The trio grinned at her, and beckoned over a few other people who used to be in her class. And in turn Katie introduced them to the Stoll's.
By the end of those 15 minutes Katie had met up with people who she had forgotten about altogether, James, the guy who used to make fun of her hair all the time, Alex, her first crush, and some others. Victoria and Veronica, were sitting there with one of their friends and glaring at her, as if saying Oh, just you wait Katie, you are so gonna get it.
As the first bell rang, Katie and Travis separated themselves from Connor who had Maths. As they headed towards their first class, they walked in silence, it wasn't awkward, it was just…silent between the two. It must have been an improvement, because if this had been at camp last week only, they would have been at each others throats. But both were glad that they didn't have to go alone. Even though Katie had gotten back with some long lost friends, she was glad she had someone who had known and spent time with her just recently, and it helped that Travis was a Demi-god, so she didn't have to worry that she could get him killed. He would understand the kind of things she would have to go through as a Demi-god.
Was she getting soft in the head about Travis Stoll? She must really be desperate then. She thought to herself. Then she got a proper look at the boy walking beside her silently. His straight brown hair was messy, making it look really cute. his blue eyes still had that mischievous glint that they always held, but their was something else in his eyes that Katie couldn't decipher. He had grown taller than her and his muscles could be seen through his shirt. He was wearing a white v-neck shirt and black jeans that were fitted but not too much. He wore black converse and had a black leather jacket on. A pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses hung from the neckline of his shirt.
Looking over him, Kati could see why the twins had been drooling over him so much. He looked really good. Her eyes grew wide at her thoughts and she blushed slightly. Maybe she was spending too much time around Silena and the rest of the Aphrodite cabin. Or maybe somebody's got a crush on a certain someone. A sweet voice suggested in her head. She was hearing things too now, she really should get help, Katie mused to herself, and almost didn't notice that Travis had stopped walking in front of her.
She crashed into him, landing painfully on the floor. Travis looked at her in surprise and she could tell he was trying to hold back laughter. He held out a hand towards Katie and said,
"Need a hand their, Miss. Gardner?" Travis put on a fake gentlemanly accent and bowed to Katie, who was Queen of the floor.
Katie just rolled her eyes, and grabbed his hand as he pulled her to her feet. As soon as she got up, Kati let go of his hand, and for a second Katie thought she saw disappointment flash across his face, but when she looked again, he looked just as he did before she fell. The two walked into the class and sat on one desk in the middle of the room, next to the window. They sat just as soon as the bell rang, and the rest of the class walked in and took their seats.
The teacher, Mr. Jones walked in a few minutes after that. He pointed to the board and said,
"This is Shakespeare, he was born in England on 26 April 1564 …"
Katie tuned out the teacher's boring voice only a few seconds after it started. She felt that is she would listen to it, she might just fall asleep, and she didn't want to get into trouble on her first day here. She felt a paper slid under her hand. She looked at it, and in Greek it said, This is boring…Hangman? Travis. Katie smiled as she took out a pencil. This year might not be so bad after all.
