Ok, so I decided this would be a multie chappy! You know the part where Katie is naming all of her flaws, well to her they are… anyways, I'm doing a each chapter on them!
Freckles
Katie wiped her face and continued planting strawberries in the fields. She put her hand on the dirt then closed her eyes. A little sapling erupted from the ground. She wiped her nose again.
"Hey Katie!" she heard Travis call out.
"Hi," she said moving on to another plant. He stood there for a few minutes watching her.
"So… whatcha doing," he asked sitting down next to her.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" she asked rolling her eyes. Sometimes he asked the most ridiculous questions. She used her dirty hands to wipe her face again.
"So Travis… what brings you here?" she asked trying to make conversation. He shrugged.
"I was bored," he simply said. She nodded. Well that conversation was a flop.
"So…" she began.
"So…" he answered.
Come on Katie! Think of something to say! Should we talk about the ancient greek test? Nah… that'll just bore him… Say something he might be interested in!
"So, have you done any good pranks lately?" she asked. He nodded and a smile appeared on his face.
"Yeah, you know how Clarisse was on that rampage yesterday?" he asked. She nodded. "Well, Connor and I kind of replaced Lamer with a regular spear, so in the arena yesterday, she found out…"
"Oh," Katie sympathized.
"Yeah, so all in all, Connor is in the infirmary now!" Travis said. Katie nodded. The two sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Hey Katie?" he asked. She turned to him. He reached out and rubbed some dirt off of her nose. Their faces were almost too close for comfort, but of course, Katie was fine with the closeness.
"What was that for?" she asked. But then she realized that he wasn't looking at her in the eyes.
"Travis?" she said snapping her fingers in his face.
"What?" he breathed, still not looking at her eyes.
"What are you doing?" she asked trying to get his attention. He looked up into her eyes and smiled.
"Counting," he said.
"Counting what?" she asked.
"Your freckles," he said, "You have a lot, you know." Her hands shot up to cover her nose-and-mouth region on her face. He smiled and pulled her hands away.
"Its fine," he said, "I think they're cute." He got up and walked away leaving a blushing Katie behind.
That was short, I know! It's just the first chapter! What's the next one? Oh yeah! Her nose! Ideas? REVIEW!
