Alright, first, I'm glad to have made another person pro-Leyna. Mainly because they make a whole bunch of sense, and because I just can't pull off a flirtatious Leo. I stink at that stuff. On with the chapter!

Katie P.O.V.

The girls all stared at me in shock, as I calmly chewed my cereal bar. Thalia was the first to recover, as she grinned at me.

"Nice to see you, Katie. How was your day?" As she spoke, the others started regaining their sense of speech.

"Katie!"

"What are you doing here?"

"It's great to see you!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Yo Gardner, give me five!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Annabeth screeched, causing everyone to stare at her. Clearing her throat, she repeated in a far quieter voice, "Not that I'm not exuberant to see you, Katie, but what are you doing at Goode? With the STOLLS?!"

Every demigod simultaneously put their hands on their pockets as they remembered who was in the same room as their wallets. I just rolled my eyes. Luckily, I didn't have to deal with that anymore. Travis didn't dare steal from the wallet of his girlfriend. And if Conner tried, he would lose an arm.

I turned to see the two of them standing next to Percy, laughing. I gazed at Travis, watching his curly brunette hair bouncing up and down, his perfect lips parted in mid-laugh, and his twinkling blue eyes sparkling with mirth and mischief.

Whoa, I thought to myself. I sound like one of Piper's lovesick siblings.

"Well," I answered, thinking over what had happened in the past twenty-four hours. "I was at school yesterday, but then some stuff happened, and Travis came to get me…"

:Flashback:

I walked out of the cafeteria, tears streaming down my face. My clothes were covered in spaghetti and mystery meat, and my hair was soaked with milk. I hurried to the bathroom, to try and clean up the lunch Kristina Colmin had dumped on me.

She had hated me since the beginning of the school year, when her ex-boyfriend Jeff Borg had asked me out. He was a complete player, and would be considered 'hot' in mortal standards, but he had nothing on Travis. I said no to him, of course, but he had just kept asking, and so now Kristina hated my guts.

Today I had been walking to my table to eat lunch alone. Again.

But then Kristina had tripped me, and while I was on the ground, dumped her lunch on me. I had run out of the cafeteria while everyone laughed at me.

(AN: Some of you are probably thinking, "She's a demigod, why is she crying about that?" This is just my way of reminding the audience that teenage demigoddesses are still teenage girls, and have the insecurities of one. Plus, I'm sort of sick of all these stories talking about Mary-Sues, so I had to play to Katie's flaws. Just clearing that up.)

I rushed over to a sink, and grabbed a paper towel to start cleaning up. I stared at my tear-streaked face in the mirror, and came to a decision. Grabbing my ηPhone, I sent Travis a text.

(AN: Travis Bold Italics Katie Italics)

Hey Travis. Can u pick me up from school and drive me 2 camp?

He replied back almost immediately.

Y do u need 2 go 2 camp, Katie-Kat? Is something wrong? Did a monster attack?! R U OK?!

Relax Travis. I just don't think I can spend 1 more minute with these idiotic mortals. Some of the girls r meaner than Drew!

Did they hurt u?

Only my pride… and my clothes. I wish my knife could hurt mortalsL

Me and Connor will b there in an hour or so.

You're the best!

I know!

Despite being covered in soggy bits of cafeteria food, I couldn't help but giggle at my boyfriend's words. Then I sighed, and began to mop up the mess in my hair.

I walked out of the school an hour later. I had managed to get rid of the food, but my hair was still limp with milk, and my clothes were covered in stains. I sat on the steps leading to the vacant back entrance, and waited for my boyfriend and his brother.

A few minutes later, two blue motorcycles pulled into the deserted parking-lot. I smiled and got up as Travis took off his helmet. Grabbing a green helmet from the compartment under the seat, he tossed it to me. I put it on, and hopped on behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist.

He revved the engine, and sped out of the parking lot, Connor right behind them, as they zoomed toward New York.

:End Flashback:

"Once we got to camp, we heard all about how eight of you were going to Goode, so Connor suggested that we come. We didn't get here until just now though, because we were taking care of a small problem." Yeah, some dracaene and a Canadian giant are totally a small problem.

Annabeth seemed to realize that the problem was a demigod one, so she changed the topic before anyone questioned me further.

"So Katie, how are you dealing with all the admirers?"

"What admirers?" I asked her, confused. She merely pointed over my shoulder in reply. I turned, and noticed something I hadn't seen before. A few guys in the cafeteria were staring straight at me, but most blushed and looked away when they noticed me looking. But that wasn't what caught my attention.

A group of giggling girls were looking at Travis in a way I really didn't like. I narrowed my eyes into a glare, but as long as they didn't try to make a move on Travis, I wasn't going to do anything.

But of course, the Fates would never just let our lives be easy.

A pretty girl with short black hair stood up from her table, and confidently walked over to my boyfriend.

"Hi there cutie," she purred at him. "My name's Hailey. What's yours?" Travis smirked the way he does before he's about to pull a prank, and I realized that I wouldn't need to interfere after all.

"My name's Tonner. This is my brother Cravis, and we're the Stolls. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go sit next to my girlfriend." He walked over to me, and sat down, while Percy followed him and sat down next to Annabeth.

"So, is it just me, or does someone seem jealous, Gardner?" He asked me, smirking. Darn, he saw me glaring.

"Shut up, Stoll." I told him, as he reached over to grab my hand.

"Come on, Katie-Kat. You know that you're the only girl for me." I had to smile at that. Travis could really be sweet when he wasn't pranking other people.

I leaned in to give him a quick peck on the cheek, but he turned so that I ended up kissing him on the lips. One of his arms wrapped around my waist, while the other hand knotted itself in my hair. I snaked my arms around his neck, and we stayed like that for a moment before a cough interrupted us. We broke apart to see the mortals at the table looking at us in shock.

The demigods at the table however were doing their own thing, as they were used to us kissing. Connor however, was filming us on his ηPhone. I glared at him, and was about to get up to attack him, but the bell rang, and he raced off to his class. His sophmore class, which none of us juniors were in.

I sighed, and stood up, getting ready to head to my next class; Latin.

I am so sorry it took like three months to write that one chapter. I had writers block, plus I was trying to figure out the right way to introduce the plot for this story. Once again, sorry, and I want to thank all my loyal followers. You guys really rock!
