At the moment Travis was running from some angry sons of Demeter. All right, so it was partially his fault but not completely. The whole thing had started that morning when Katie had decided to be her usual high-strung self.
The alarm clock rang rather noisily next to Travis's head. Shout came from the neighboring bunks that were angry about being up that early. Travis rolled over and hit the off button before climbing out of bed. He pulled his fingers through his now knotted curly hair. He shook Connor awake and pulled on a shirt and a pair of shorts.
He shoved the loosely hinged door open and made his way down the steps. His toes hit the dew-covered grass. The sun shone overhead in the almost cloudless sky. He shoved his feet in his sandals. He thought to himself, 'Why waste such a perfectly beautiful day in a consular meeting?'
Just then Katie walked out of her cabin. She looked over at him, her eyes widened, and she turned to go back into her cabin. Travis ran over and grabbed her arm.
"Kitty-cat, we have a meeting this morning. Now I know you would rather be gardening but surely you of all people have an idea of what we could do to help the camp," Travis said.
"Yeah I have an idea, getting rid of the boy who sneaks into girls rooms, plays mean pranks, pulls her plants out of the ground, and steals from the camp store! That would be a major improvement," Katie snapped.
"You cut me to the soul Kit-kat," Travis said.
"Shove-off Travis I have to go garden before the meeting," Katie said before she stormed off.
Connor came over right then, "Oh you've got it bad don't you?"
Travis just nodded his head. And then of course the Demeter boys decide it was time to teach him a lesson for bugging their sister.
