Chapter 5: Tratie
Travis wasn't nervous for his date with Katie.
Okay, that was a lie. Travis was extremely nervous. So scared, in fact, that he actually turned to Connor for help. They had planned out a perfect date: A picnic in the fields. Connor would come too, and play romantic music in the background. Katie loved fields right? After all, her mother was Demeter.
Travis picked out his outfit carefully, which meant he wore a Camp Half Blood with a sweatshirt and jeans, for it was only actually 50 degrees at camp. Connor looked at him, and gave him a, um, "spirited" pep talk.
"You're a beast, a machine, a sexy man. Any lady would want you, especially Katie. C'mon dude, lets do this."
Travis knocked on the Demeter cabin door softly. One of Katie's siblings glared at him through the door. He winced. Maybe it would be a good idea to stop pranking this cabin.
When Katie answered, Travis searched in his brain for words and only found gibberish.
"Pretty, look, wow, you," Katie laughed charmingly and hooked her arm with his. Travis started to lead her away and Connor gave him the thumbs up from behind the tree were he was standing. They made small talk all the way to the strawberry plants, where Travis laid down a blanket and set out some food as Katie sat down.
"Travis, how sweet of you! I honestly love the strawberry fields, and the food looks super good!" The son of Hermes blushed and motioned for his brother to start playing the romantic music, then sat down next to his date.
They were just digging into their food when a loud blast comes from the surrounding area, Eminem's "Monster" playing at full volume. Both of them covered their ears.
"What the heck is that?" Katie shouted over the noise.
"Um, music?" Travis replied weakly, while making the cut it out motion with his hands to Connor behind his back. The music shut off abruptly, and the two lovebirds sighed in relief.
"Well, I have no idea where that came from, but it's gone, so lets just enjoy our meal?" Travis said, completely poker-faced. Everything went spot on from there until it was time to go.
Connor, who had been relatively sneaky until then, decided now was obviously the time to fall out off the tree he was hiding in. Katie was startled, and kept looking around while Travis desperately troed to lead her away.
"Travis? Why is Connor here?" KAtie looked surprised, noy mad yet, so Travis heaved a big sigh and tried to explain.
"Well, I was so nervous, and connor offered to help me, but then he fell out of a tree, and he blasted music so loud…" The poor boy rambled on and on, making no sense.
"Travis," Katie interrupted. "I'm not mad. In fact, I think it's sweet that you were so nervous. I had fun tonight."
Travis looked stunned for a moment. "Really?"
"Truly."
Aw… please review with suggestions for Chrisse tomorrow!(Is that how you spell it?) Thanks for reading!
