Oh dear, how long has it been since I last updated? Twenty two days ago!

I really need to stop procrastinating :)

So! This is chapter 2 of The Dating Game aka "TDG" I hope you enjoy!

I own nothing!

Travis stood inside Katie's house waiting patiently for her to come down for school. With him being a recently "taken" man from the one and only Katie Gardner, he felt as though he should be the perfect "boyfriend" no matter how infuriating Katie could be.

"Oh Katie!" Mr. Gardner called out. "Travis is waiting for you!"

"Coming!" She answered.

Travis looked around the room and noticed many pictures of Katie growing up throughout the years. Noticing one picture of Katie mounted upon a horse with a barn behind her; Travis grinned and walked up towards it. Katie had a bright grin on her face and her eyes sparkled with joy.

"Hey Stoll." Travis swiveled around and saw Katie in a pair of jean shorts and a pretty blouse. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and a bag hung from her shoulder.

"Hi Kit Kat." Travis grinned. "Question: Did you live in a farm, before New York?" He pointed to the picture from before.

"Oh, that, yeah I did." A far, distant look came across Katie's face. "Hey, school's starting soon. Let's go." Nodding, Travis followed Katie out the door. "Bye Dad! We're leaving."

With a "Goodbye, have fun at school", and a hard stare towards Travis, the two students left towards Travis' truck.

Moments later, they reached Goode High and Travis jumped from his seat and walked towards Katie's door, opening it for her.

"You know, I can open doors for myself." Katie playfully rolled her eyes. "But, I appreciate the chivalry."

Travis grinned. "No problem m'lady."

"So, how do we do this? Just walk inside and exclaim to everyone we're dating?" Katie looked at Travis adding air quotations around "Dating."

Taking her small hand into his large ones, Travis smiled and dragged Katie into the front doors of the school. "Well Kit Kat, let's just let everyone figure it out themselves."

As the two kids walked through the doors, Katie could feel everyone's eyes on her. She started to pull away from Travis but he just kept hold of her petite hand.

"Everyone's staring." She hissed.

"Well of course they are. I look amazing." Katie rolled her eyes and elbowed Travis hard in the ribs.

Groaning in pain, Travis continued to drag Katie down towards her locker. Katie let go of Travis' hand and opened her locker door, taking out her English books. Afterwards, Katie walked off down the hallway with Travis running behind her. "Could you at least play along?" Travis begged, throwing an arm around Katie's shoulders.

"Seriously-" Katie started.

"Oh, hey Katie, hi Travis." A voice said from beside Katie.

"Brendan! Hey!" Katie stammered.

"So what's going on?" Brendan asked staring at Travis.

"Oh, Travis? He's my uh." Katie looked up at Travis' amused eyes. "He's my… boyfriend?"

"That's right! Katie's my girl now." Travis smirked.

Brendan smiled and nodded. "Cool. I'll see you in class Katie. Bye Travis."

Katie turned towards Travis and glared. "I hate you." She hissed.

"No you don't. You love me." Chuckling, Travis walked with Katie towards first period English.

The next few classes were a bit awkward for Katie, as many girls sent threatening glares towards her, stares and murmurs followed Katie throughout the day as well. Finally, it was last period Drama with Mr. Martin.

"Hello class. I know this is last block and you're anxious to go for your weekend off but I expect all of you to cooperate." Mr. Martin greeted as he stepped through the classroom doors.

Katie sat at the back table zoning out on Mr. Martin's activity for today. "So, everyone go pair up! It must be a girl and a boy, got it?" The whole class got up from their seats to go find a partner. Katie looked around the room to find a guy. Suddenly, the door burst open.

"Mr. Stoll? What are you doing here?" Mr. Martin looked at Travis standing in the front.

Scratching his head, Travis sheepishly smiled. "I-uh, got transferred to this class for fooling around during Home Economics."

"Very well then, I expect that you will not do the same mistakes in my classroom yes?"

Travis nodded. "Yes sir."

"Okay, go find a partner to explain our activity. It must be a girl."

Travis nodded again and looked around to find Katie in the back sharpening a pencil. He grinned and started walking towards her. However, a hand gripped his arm refraining him from walking anymore. "Hey Travy. Want to be my partner?" Travis turned to see bottle-blonde Layla twirling her hair in what was supposed to be seductive."

"I-" Another arm made its way around Travis waist.

"Why don't you be my partner?" Big-haired Amy said to Travis.

Travis looked up and saw Katie stifling a laugh. Sending a desperate look towards her, Katie smirked and walked towards the suffering curly haired boy.

"Sorry girls, but I think he's with me." Katie grabbed Travis' hand and whisked him away.

"Oh thank you, thank you!" Travis exclaimed while dramatically kissing her cheek.

"What did you do to even get in this class?" Katie raised a brow.

"Flour war with Connor." He simple stated while smiling mischievously.

"Meh, should've guessed."

Travis looked down at the assignment sheet and read through it. "So this is what you do as a hobby? You… 'act'" Travis asked with a dramatic voice.

"Pretty much, I find it to be a fun thing to do. Especially Shakespeare, most of his plays are very dramatic and romantic." Katie smiled. "Acting would have to be a close winner as my favourite things to do out of school aside from gardening."

"Uh huh…." Travis stared at Katie with a disapproving look.

"What? Not everyone wants to play sports Travis. I especially do not want to, from that horrible basketball incident in grade six." Katie shuddered.

Travis burst into laughter as he remembered the day when Katie played a game of basketball and ended up getting a lucky shot in… her own net. Katie glared at him to shut up, as Travis continued giggling.

After Travis finally stopped, Katie looked back at her assignment sheet and grinned.

"We're doing scenes from Shakespeare's famous plays!" Katie exclaimed.

Travis looked at her with wide eyes and snatched the paper. "Oh gods! Why are flour wars so much fun yet deadly?" He cried falling dramatically on his chair.

Ta da! Chapter 2 :)

What do you guys think?

So, I have a secret. Unlike most of the authors on FanFiction, I don't come up with a detailed plan for my story. I have a main idea, and kind of wing it. However! For this story, while I was typing out chapter 2 I actually came up with something that I should really write down later.

In other news, schools is in a month! I don't know whether to be happy or not. Before that, I'm going to this outdoor amusement park thing with my best friends! Yay! On top of that, I'm also going to go on a roadtrip with some family friends from California. That means, my next update will NOT be next week.

And for the best news out of all... Guess who's going to DisneyWorld for Christmas! ME! Sorry, really excited :)

Reviews are wonderful!

Thanks guys, Have a good day :)
