Right, so...I have no words. I cannot explain how sorry I am that I have not updated since June of 2014. Yeah, um...I'll let the chapter do the talking..

Also, I thought I posted this like four months ago...maybe I only did on Wattpad...I AM SO SORRY.

I hope I got all the mistakes. Thanks if you're still reading….probably not...

Chapter Two:

C Is For Cake

"Katie, look!" Travis cried, rushing over to the cabin door to greet her, something large and, frankly, ugly in his hands.

Katie froze, one foot in mid-step. She had been about to go talk to Annabeth about gardening. "What...is that?' she asked carefully, not wanting to offend him.

Travis beamed. "A cake!" he announced proudly.

"Oh," Katie said. not knowing what else to say, and Travis's smile dropped a little. There must have been something in my voice, she thought.

"You don't- like it?" Travis asked.

Katie hesitated, wondering why he even cared. It's not like we're dating. We hate each other!

"Well, I-uh, no, I love it!"

She eyed the cake. It was big, shaped oddly, and a nice brown color (she meant the opposite of brown). Honestly, it kind of looked like someone had thrown up a huge pile of puke and put it on a platter. She cocked her head, imagining this, and grimaced, making a horrified face.

Travis noticed and said in a small voice, "It's that bad?"

"No!" Katie hastened to say. "I was only imaging a pile of thro- uh, I was thinking of- something else. That's why I made a face."

How would I explain I was thinking about throwing up? She thought to herself angrily. He would ask why and I'd have to tell him or lie! But why would I care about just lying? Ugh!

"It's awesome, Trav," she said brightly.

Trav? Since when did she call him Trav?

He seemed to brighten at that. "Well, okay...Kate."

She blushed, and after a moment, hesitantly said, "Actually, it's awful." He looked upset, and she hurriedly said, "So let's go make a cake together, shall we?"

He bit his lip then smiled. "Okay," he agreed. "Green, for you."

She smiled too. "And the Hermes symbol for you."

"Perfect! But it has to be chocolate."

"Oh, no, vanilla," Katie objected, frowning.

So they walked back to the Big House, arguing over the flavor of the cake. In the end, it was a weird combo- vanilolate.

Chocolate and vanilla.

Oh, yeah, and Travis kissed Katie, but that's not important, right?

What's important is that Travis set the Big House on fire and is now banned from using it ever again.

I'm also sorry this chapter is crappy and small. Really, really sorry.

Yeah.

Um.

Yeah..

Bye.
