Travis’s P.O.V I walk to the lunch tables with my brother. I’m at the Hermes table when I see Katie walk to her table. Damn my crush on her has been going around the Hermes cabin for months now, but for some reason she doesn’t even notice. Conner sees me looking at her “Travis come back to earth” he says. I snap out of it “I hate you” I mutter looking at my food. Conner of course has the brilliant idea of throwing my pudding to Katie. She screamed in fury, “WHO THREW THIS?” She yells looking at the Hermes table. Conner points at me “you weasel” I say looking at him. Plant surround the tables one of the plants grab me from my shoe. I’m hanging upside down “great” I mutter Katie’s P.O.V I hang him with a vine from from his shoe. “Why Travis why me? Why am I the one you prank? I mean you don’t prank piper or Annabeth or even your own siblings to always me“ I ask, fury in my eyes looking at him. He stammers saying “um, this time, this time it wasn’t me” he finishes. I shake my head “ok, sure. So I guess one of your siblings did it? Why do you hate me so much?” I say looking him in the eyes “I-I don’t hate you” he stammers “I-I” he continued but I drop him letting the plants disappear, I run to the strawberry fields crying, like I always do. When I’m there and I think I’m alone I scream “WHY ME?” I sit in the middle of the field crying. I hear someone coming up behind me, but I don’t care. “Katie?” Asks Travis “I-I’m Sorry” he says “but I swear this time it was Conner. I didn’t do it this time” i don’t say anything. I sit there looking into the woods “why do you hate me?” I ask “why do you always prank me?” I ask again putting my hair into a ponytail. Silence. But then he says “I don’t hate you. I never have hated you. In fact” he starts sitting by me turning my head to look at him “I really like you. and Hermes kids don’t know how to express them selves. Pranks are the only way we know how” I look at him silent
