L is for Liquor and Last Friday nights.
"Katie! Look at this!" Katie's sister Miranda said, running in the strawberry fields, with a price of paper in her hand.
"What?" Katie asked, semi-alarmed. Miranda just handed her the paper. Once Katie had figured out what it said, Miranda looked at her.
"Are you gonna go?" she asked.
The piece of paper was an invitation for everyone older than sixteen, asking them to attend the Stoll brothers party tonight.
After a bit of thinking Katie decided that it would be fun.
"Sure. What's the worst that could happen?" she asked her half sister.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Miranda asked as they were walking back to the cabins.
"Do I have to wear this?" Katie asked Miranda, looking in the mirror. Miranda nodded.
"You look hot." she assured her sister. Katie rolled her eyes.
She looked down at the dress she was wearing. Yes, Miranda had gotten Katie into a dress. It was one of those dresses that looked like a tank top and skirt.
So there Katie was, in a dress, getting ready to go to Travis' party. Well, the Stoll's party.
"C'mon." Miranda said, pulling Katie out of the cabin.
"I don't wanna go now!" Katie protested. Miranda just pulled harder.
"Stop being a baby." Miranda told her half sister. Katie stuck out her tongue.
"It'll be fun. When was the last time you loosened up?" Miranda asked.
Katie contemplated this. "Hmm... 3 days, 2 hours, 9 minutes and 47 seconds ago." she said. Miranda rolled her eyes and continued to pull Katie toward the Hermes cabin.
When they got there, Miranda effortlessly strolled in, where Katie hesitated for a second at the door.
"Come on!" Miranda said, dragging her in further.
"Katie! Your here!" called a voice behind her. She turned around and saw Travis, walking towards her. Miranda gave her a thumbs up and walked off.
"Hey Travis." Katie said, playing with her hair, since she didn't know what else to do.
"Hi. I didn't think you would come. And if you did, it would probably be to turn us in." he said enveloping Katie into a hug. All Katie was thinking was, what in the Hades? Then she caught a whiff of Travis's breath.
"Travis, are you drunk?" she asked.
"Nope. Just a bit crazy. Travis Stoll can hold his liquor." he assured her, in response to which she rolled her eyes."I bet you can't." he said. She raised her eyebrow in question. "Hold your alcohol." he added on.
"Can too. By the end of the night I will have drunk and not be drunk." she told him matter-of-factly.
"Your on." Travis said, holding out his hand. Katie shook it and went to go find out where Travis kept the drinks. Travis suddenly appeared behind her and gave her a beer.
"Thankyou." she said, twisting the top off. He smiled and melted back into the crowd that was drinking and took a sip of beer and stood there awkwardly.
"Katie!" called a faint voice. She turned to the general direction to where the voice had come from. There she could see Travis, Connor, Miranda, Grover and a few other people standing around a make-shift bar. Katie could make out that Grover was the barman.
"Yeah?" she asked as she walked over.
"You," Miranda said, pulling Katie toward the bar. "Are doing shots."
"Oh no." Katie said. "No, no, no, no, no!" she said, trying the resist Miranda's iron grip, setting her down onto a stool next to Travis. He smiled, goofily at her. She gave him one of her infamous glares.
"C'mon Katie. Loosen up. You have to drink for the bet." he said. In response, she held up her beer. He gave her a 'Give-me-a-break' look.
"Doesn't count, Katie-kins." he said in a sing song voice. She rolled her eyes.
After what seemed like forever, Katie mumbled something.
"What?" Connor asked.
"Fine. I'll do the shots." she said, louder. Travis, Miranda and Connor grinned triumphanly. Grover, from behind the bar, got out two shot glasses and some vodka. Katie gulped.
Oh shit, she thought.
"Alright there Katie?" Travis asked her.
"Of course." she said, turning to Grover, who had put the shot glass in front of her, and one in front of Travis.
She picked it up and downed it without a second thought. Then she noticed everyone staring at her.
"What?" she asked. Miranda shrugged and Connor had miraculously disappeared. She turned to Travis, who had a mischievous smile on his face.
"Bottoms up." he said, downing his shot.
"And I said, 'Dude, you... you...' I dunno." a very drunk Katie trailed off, smiling at Travis. He chuckled at her.
"You are one serious drunk." he told her. She grinned and giggled. Then she started to hiccup.
"Oops." she giggled, then hiccuped again. Travis rolled his eyes and quickly grabbed Katie's drink before she could take a sip.
She giggled before cutting short, looking at Travis. She tilted her head toward him and he brung his head toward her- only to have one of his curls to be pulled with Katie making 'boing' sound effects.
What the Hades? Travis asked himself as Katie pulled another curl.
"Boing." she said, before erupting into giggles. Travis sighed.
"Ok. Time for you to go to bed." he said. Even though drunk-Katie was amusing, and he had gotten all the blackmail he would need, he didn't want her to injure herself.
"No." Katie said, pointing her finger at Travis as if he were a dog. "Bad curly wurly." she managed before hiccuping.
Travis sighed again, looking for someone to help him. He didn't see Connor anywhere, he saw Miranda making out with some guy. So that's where Connor was. On the receiving end of Miranda's lips. Well, they couldn't help.
Nope, Travis seemed to be the only person decently sober.
Stupid alcohol.
Katie was still going on about him being a bad hedgehog or some shit like that.
"Alright then." Travis said, ignoring Katie and picking her up. Bridal style.
"Put me down." she squealed. Travis ignored her and walked out of the cabin. When the cold air hit Katie, she shivered and hugged Travis so hard around his neck that he couldn't breath. Literally.
"K-K-Katie. Can't. Breath." he managed to wheeze out. She giggled, but loosened her grip.
"Travis? Did you realize that your Dad's name, Hermes, rhymes with herpes. Is your dad the god of STDs?" Katie asked him. Travis shook his head.
"No, that's Apollo."
She nodded and went silent for a second. "You have big muscles." she said in a sing song voice. "And curly wurly hair. Trav? You're very pretty. Pretty, pretty, hot!" she said, still hugging his neck.
"Oh, yeah?" Travis asked, smirking, wondering where this was going.
"Yup." Katie said nodding. "And that's why I love you." Travis stopped dead in his tracks.
"What?" he asked her, looking into her green eyes. She nodded, and even though it had only been mere days since they had called for the clean-slate friendship, Travis kissed her. While holding her. Bridal style.
Katie's mouth tasted like alcohol, but he didn't care. When he pulled back, Katie giggled, reminding him of her drunken state.
Travis was thankful for Katie being drunk. Hopefully, she doesn't remember anything, he thought. That would kinda, Y'know, fudge up their friendship.
While Katie was still holding onto Travis's neck, going on about hippocampi and how Percy looked like Harry Potter, he had walked into the Demeter cabin and laid Katie down on her bed.
As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep. Travis kissed her on the forehead.
"Goodnight." he whispered, leaving the cabin.
The light streaming through the windows was practically burning holes in Katie's eyelids. She groaned and rolled over. And landed on the floor with a thud.
"Ow." she said, holding her head. "Stupid hangover."
She groggily got up and got dressed, not making sudden movements, for she knew if she did, a stab of pain would go through her skull.
Katie eventually made her way to the dining pavilion were she was met with sympathetic smiles, rolling of eyes, and Travis Stoll.
Katie couldn't remember anything from last night, after the first round of shots. She was hoping Travis could fill her in. She walked up to the Hermes table, where Travis was sitting, laughing with his siblings. When he saw Katie, a look of concern flashed across his face and he walked over to her.
"I hate you." she said.
"Um... Ok. What did I do again?" he asked.
"You bet that I wouldn't get drunk. I got drunk. And now I have a huge hangover and no memory of last night." she said. Relief washed over Travis, knowing she wouldn't remember the drunken kiss.
"Oh. I thought you might hate me for all the blackmail I collected, and could very easily post on the internet." he said, jokingly.
"You wouldn't." Katie said.
"Nah. I wouldn't. One sec." he said, holding up a finger. He walke away. When he returned he had a plate and a glass full of juice.
"Sit." he commanded. Katie sat at her table and Travis put the plate and glass down. On the plate were two eggs and a banana.
"Eat. It helps with hangovers." he said, sitting across from her.
"Thanks." she said with a smile before she started to eat. When Katie had finished, Travis asked her if she were feeling better.
"A little." she replied, getting up. "I'll probably go sleep." she added. Travis nodded, and they both walked toward the cabins.
"Travis? What happened last night?" she asked him, in front of the Demeter cabin.
"Uh..." Travis said, ruffling his hair. He opted not to tell her about the kiss. Or what she told him. "Connor and Miranda started making out." he said. Katie started to laugh.
"Oh my gods. Do you have a picture?" she asked. He nodded.
"What about me? I didn't completely embarrass myself, did I?" she asked.
"Nah. You said some pretty weird crap about Percy looked like Harry Potter, which he kinda does, hedgehogs, and you refered to my hair as a slinky. You also asked if my dad was the god of STDs." he replied.
"Oh my gods. Shit." she said, more to herself than Travis.
"So I put you to bed." he continued.
"Thanks." she said. "Speaking about bed, I am tired. Later Trav. And thanks." she said, before she disappeared into her cabin.
Travis started to walk away, but Katie's head popped around the doorframe.
"Oh, and Travis? Of what I can remember, it was fun. We should do it again. Next Friday night." she said. Travis laughed.
"Sure thing, Kates. But I'm not letting you anywhere near the alcohol." he said. Katie smiled and disappeared again. Travis smiled to himself and walked away.
So, was it gob-smacking? Im joking. But that was so much fun to write. I think it might be my favorite chapter. or its up there, anyway.
And guess what? I have a dictionary! Now, you may not think thats much, but it means i will have more creative chapters! which is better for everyoyone.
And make sure you read the next chapter, for somethin BIG will happen!
Also, before I forget, I do not support underage drinking. Katie was 17 in this chapter, and i dont know what the legal age is in your country, but here its 18. So, yeah.
Seeja next time.
Dont forget to review, and vote on my poll.
lovee lots,
the spud.
