Katie P.O.V.
When Travis touched Liz lovingly, he fractured my heart. When he put his arm around her, he broke it in half and threw it on the ground. When he walked away without a glance back, he danced and stepped on it, and lit it on fire.
I had really thought we could be happy together forever. Boy, was I wrong.
Alone, I dragged William the satyr unceremoniously to the infirmary, and then went to breakfast. Even my bowl of cereal didn't cheer me up, which meant I was seriously depressed.
All the way through the morning I was downcast and sullen. Then lunch came. Liz was introduced to the camp, and then a sign shined above her head.
Curiously, I looked up just in time to see a golden ear of wheat flicker and vanish. What? Demeter! HOW? She came and took a place at our table, and it took all my willpower not to choke her with vines right then and there.
After lunch, we headed back to the cabin. Liz needed a bunk, and of course the only free one was the one above mine.
"Oh, hi." I heard her say to me. "You were the girl who helped me this morning!" She smiled. "I guess we're half siblings! So what's your name?"
"Katie." I said grudgingly. "Katie Gardner."
"Cool." She smiled, and then skipped off to meet the other, more interesting, campers in our cabin.
Sighing, I went outside and propped a ladder against the cabin. After grabbing a pair of clippers, I climbed up onto the roof.
You see, the Demeter cabin has a roof with grass on the top, minus the one area where our roof window is. The roof has to be trimmed every once in a while, and being senior counselor, I get the honor of that chore.
I made sure work on the roof, cutting each blade to be two inches long exactly. Forget ADHD, and add OCD! It was very peaceful up on the roof though, with the sun shining and birds chirping.
Just as I clipped the last blade, I saw Travis walk by. Right before I called out to him, I overheard him ask one of my siblings where Liz was. He wasn't looking for me! Just that demon, Liz.
I watched him enter the cabin, and from the roof window I saw him come in and approach Liz.
"Hey, Liz." He said.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Look," he said, "I was wondering if you wanted a tour of the camp. Travis style."
"Sounds cool." She said.
"Cool." He replied.
And together, they strolled out of the cabin arm in arm down to the arena.
My eyes filled with tears, and my heart filled with hatred toward Liz. Travis had said the exact same thing to me when I arrived at camp!
Scrambling across the top of the roof, I came to the edge of the cabin.
The ladder was gone! Somebody must have moved it while I was tending to the grass!
"You know what," I thought. "Whatever. I don't care anymore." And with that, I jumped. Just before I hit the ground, I had one last thought; "I still love you Travis."
