Shoulders
Katie stood in the strawberry fields, staring at the sprinkler water all of the plants. He arms were crossed and she was chewing on the inside of her cheek. And no, she wasn't dreaming about the sprinkler, she was thinking about Travis… and that girl.
Suddenly, she felt two arms come behind her and wrap around her shoulders. She jumped a bit, being awoken from her trance.
"Boo," Travis whispered in her ear. Chills ran down her spine but she just scowled and shrugged his arms off.
"Awww, come on Katie. Don't be like that," Travis said wrapping his arms around her shoulders, enveloping her into another hug. She shrugged him off again. She was silent for a few moments before whipping around to face him, some hair from her ponytail brushed his face.
"What are we?" Katie asked.
"We're demigods," Travis said slowly. Katie rolled her eyes. "You know, half-god and half-"
"Yes, I know that. But, what are we?" she asked motioning between the two of them. Travis slowly turned pink and shoved his hands in his pockets.
"We? As in us?" he asked.
"Yes, us!" Katie said exasperated. "One minute, we're kissing, and the next, I see you talking to an Aphrodite girl!" Katie said. Travis stood there, until a smile broke out on his face.
"You were jealous," he accused, smiling. Katie scowled and smacked him on the shoulder.
"You're such a jerk!" Katie said. She was about to walk away, but Travis grabbed her wrist.
"Ok, I'm sorry. But what do you mean, talking to an Aphrodite girl?" he asked. Katie looked down.
"Well, after we kissed, I saw you talking to Tiana Miller, and I don't know… I-I guess I was… jealous," she finally admitted. Travis smiled triumphantly. "I mean, I guess I was hurt. I just thought that after we kissed, we were kind of… together. But, if you want to date someone else, you can," Katie said. Travis's smile fell.
"What do you mean date someone else?" he asked. Katie looked away. "I don't want to date anyone else! Tiana stopped me to ask if we were together, because, well, we all know how Aphrodite children are. I made it pretty clear that I liked you, a lot, right before we, you know… kissed," he said. Katie looked up and smiled at him. He smiled back.
"What did you tell her?" Katie asked.
"What?"
"What did you tell Tiana? About us being together?"
"Oh, I said yes," Travis said.
"Really?"
"Yeah." He said. Katie smiled.
"Well, let's make it official," she said. Travis grinned.
"Let's. Katie Gardner, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.
"Of course!" she said laughing. He laughed too and hugged her. He then spun her around and hugged her from behind.
"Why do you do that?" Katie asked.
"What?"
"Hug me from behind?" She felt him shrug against her body.
"I guess I like how your shoulders fit perfectly in my arms," Travis said.
"I hate my shoulders."
"Really? I loooove your shoulders," he said pressing his cheek against hers. She turned her head and bit and kissed him on the cheek.
"So boyfriend, what do you want to do now?" Katie asked. Travis pondered that for a bit.
"I don't know… do you want to go the mess hall and drink as much soda as we can until we get kicked out?" he asked excitedly.
"That sounds like fun. Let's go!" she said. They ran off to the mess hall and that is what they did.
