Chapter 11: Tratie

Katie was pretty proud of her boyfriend.

Travis and her had been on three dates since the disastrous picnic, and he had not pranked her once. He seemed like he actually cared, and paying full attention to her. It was kinda nice. By no means was Katie an average girl, but that didn't mean she didn't like being pampered.

Today with their fifth date, and they were just going down to the beach for a calm stroll. When Travis picked her up, they linked arms and slowly walked down to the water, laughing and making meaningless conversation. The sun was gradually setting, and when they arrived at the waterfront, Katie took off her shoes.

"Just sticking my feet in the water," she replied to Travis's confused look. He copied her, and they both stuck their feet in the water for a while, wading out pretty far. The only things left behind them were their shoes, both flip flops. They stood in the water for a long time, holding hands, enjoying the beautiful sunset, for the water was much warmer than they anticipated. Katie finally sighed and started wading back towards the shore. Travis followed her, and they both stuck their shoes back on, and made to continue walking when something stopped them short.

"My heels aren't coming up," Katie said, looking down at her feet.

"Neither are mine," Travis replied, looking slightly panicked. "What the heck is going on?"

Katie glared accusingly at her boyfriend. "Was it you?"

"Of course not, but it was pretty genius-" Travis stopped short. "Connor."

Katie gasped, and then nodded. That made perfect sense. If it was something Travis would have done but didn't, then it could have only been his twin brother. The two exchanged glances, and then took off running, holding each others hands.

"Connor!" They screamed, looking like a pair of angry seals. (The shoes were harder to run in than they looked.) The guilty Stoll brother stepped out from behind the tree, muttered a few expletives, and ran, not wanting to get hurt by the stampede behind him.

And hence, a camp-wide chase ensued.

By the time the guilty man was caught, the two lovebirds were breathing extremely hard from running everywhere. They locked Connor up in the Hermes cabin, and sat on the front steps.

"Thanks," Katie burst out suddenly.

"For what?" Travis really had no idea what she would be thankful for, that date was insane.

"I had fun tonight,"

Travis couldn't believe it. She actually had fun? "Um, you're welcome," he stuttered. Then a bashful look crossed his face. "Can I kiss you?" Without even waiting for an answer, he leaned forward, and their lips connected.

And inside, from the window, Connor was cheering his brother on.

Oh look, a bromance. :) Thanks for reading, please RFF (Review follow favorite) and try to guess the surprises!
