Travis POV

Okay, so I can't go to my cabin, because that's where she'd expect me to be. But, hey, the Hades cabin is close by… And Nico's home… And Katie never goes there. Bingo!

"Nico! Let me in! Let me in-"

"Alright get in here before you cause a scene."

"Aw, thanks, man. You do not know how much I needed to hide here."

He gave a small smirk and said "Uh, I think I do. I can still hear Katie yelling at you. So, what'd you do this time?"

" I was trying to get her attention. So I planted a giant tree in front of her door."

"Yeah, I can see how that would get a girl's attention. So, how much do you like her again?"

What did he just say! How did he

"How did you find out?"

"Dude, if you were anymore obvious, she might find out." He said, his smirk getting slightly bigger.

Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.

"You should tell her. She might be crazy enough to like you too."

So I say thanks for hiding my sorry butt to Nico, check my reflection in his mirror, and walk out the door.

"Travis!"

"Katie! Get over here. Please!"

She's walking angrily. Well its now or nev-"

"Well, what do you want, Travis?"

"Um, I sort of was maybe wondering if it was possible if you might want to…"

"Spit it out, Travis!"

And at that precise moment, the meal horn sounded.

Ah. Saved by the bell- I mean horn.

"Can we talk after dinner? In private?"

She glared at me for a moment, than grudgingly said, "Fine. I guess."

Score!
