Kathy pov
I fluttered my eyes slowly when I heard my bestie yell, "Bitch! You better move your lazy ass" I rubbed my tired eyes slowly and hummed to notify my grumpy bestie Jacqueline that I am awake. My lazy self hates to wake up early but thinking about the reason my lips curved a little bit up. Yep, we are going on a trip to Muir Trails.
My name is Kathy Hampton, a sophomore, software major at California University. There is nothing special about my life just stereotypical parents, and two lovely sisters one is a freshman named Neathy here with me doing Literature, and another in high school named Avely. I love them two so much that I will do anything for them.
What I heard about college life is cool when I was in high school but after I came here I realized there is nothing special about it, I think it's just for me. Maybe cause all my friends dating, and I don't even my little sis does but I never get a chance to get close to any boys. Why? Cause from my kindergarten till high school I studied all-girl school so naturally, I get anxious whenever a boy approaches me, and I avoided any getting near me.
Moreover, my typical parents strictly warned all three of us never to date anyone till finishing our studies. I was obligated to them as I do always cause since my sister was born my parents raised me with the thoughts that I should set an example for them, I must protect them, I should pave a way for them, and so on.
So I studied hard, tried my best to impress my parents, and set example for my sisters. They both love me so much so I am. My father has some anger issues so we got abused sometimes but we three stuck together to get through that. It Happened sometimes not often so it's not that bad.
Other than that our parents cared for us, making sure we get good grades, food, and clothes. Every family is not perfect so it's okay. From high school, I studies in a California boarding school, I don't know the reason why my parents decided that, still without question I was obligated. At first, it was hard to live away from my sisters eventually, I get used to it.
I made some good friends. I visited my family during the holidays. I missed the time I spend with my sisters terribly. When I graduated I was so happy that I could be with my sisters again but it all shattered when my father again choose California University. Again, I didn't question his choice and followed him. At least he allowed me to choose what major I wanted to study.
I loved science so much but, after a particular incident happened in my school I gave up science and chose computer so now I don't have much choice so I picked software which I developed interest in. All this was fed up with my sister Neathy so she became rebellious, she thought that all her happiness will be too snatched from her like mine. When my father tried to stop her without hearing him she followed me here. I am happy to have her here but I would be happier if she didn't reject Cambridge.
My daydream snapped when Jacqueline threw a pillow at me. I rubbed my tired face and smiled at her like an idiot. She glared and said, "If you get late I am not waiting for you" I know she is just bluffing so I get down off my bed, winked at her, and said, "I know you will babe" With that I walked into to our bathroom to do my morning chores.
After good twenty minutes, I walked in just with a bathrobe. Jack already packed all our bags and was ready. Once she eyed me, she sighed and said, "Seriously Kath!" I shrugged and picked a washed grey jeans and a black sleeveless crop top, then I dried my curled hair, and put on my favorite grey hoodie. I put on just a little face powder and lip gloss.
I am not into make-up or fashion shit but Neathy is the total opposite to me. She loves to doll up her not that also by looks. I am just a simple brutenee, brown eyes, with curly hair, tan skin, and a thick structure of 5'7. Neathy is a beautiful girl with asy blond straight hair, green eyes, plump pink lips, a curvy structure, long legs, and a fair complex of 5'5. None believed me when I introduced her as my sister.
She is extrovert, an attitude type who won't allow anyone to see her down. She is also in Siroty, unlike me introverted, silent type who never speaks even when someone insults me. I believe karma is bitch which will bite them one day but my sister will become bitch to bite them immediately.
When I picked up my bag, our room door flew open there stood my sweet sis Neathy. She ran to me and gave me a bone-crushing hug which I returned gladly. When she parted from me she scanned me from top to toe with a frown and asked, "What's this Kath?" I act clueless and asked, "What?" she glared and asked, "Where is the dress I gave you yesterday?"
I scratch my un-itchy nape and replied, "I am not comfortable with that Nea, please let me be. I will try that next time" She sighed and said, "That's what you said last time too" I grabbed her by her shoulder and said, "Promise I will do as you say for next event we attend ok?" she smiled wide and nodded her head.
She tugged my curly hair behind my ear and asked, "Did you pack all necessities? Warm clothes? Scarf? Gloves?" I patted her with a chuckle and said, "Easy girl, I packed all of them. And I will be careful and stick together with all and return safely to you. Hmm?" she smiled and hugged me with a hum.
We all together walked to foyer where we were asked to wait for departure. Once we reached it, someone closed my eyes from behind. I know who is it so I elbowed the person behind me. The palm on my eyes flew open with a groan. I turned and saw my childhood bestie, Vincent. He is our neighbor, the only boy in my life other than my father.
He is my best friend who helped me whenever I felt lonely and has been my only ray of light when I felt no way in my life of darkness. He is doing architecture here. I let out my tongue at him and asked, "How is my strength jerk?" with distressed face he voiced, "Of course too strong kitten"
I rolled my eyes at his gross nickname. He smiled brightly at me and asked, "I see you still grumpy, I guess cause you lost your beauty sleep?" I huffed at his correct guess. He knows me more than I do. My sis intervened, "Vince, take care of Kath" he chuckled and replied, "You don't want to remind me of my duty Nea"
I shook my head in disbelief what I am five? Why do these two always treat me like I am some fragile shit? All our conversation stopped when my sister squeaked cause his boyfriend lifted her in the air. He dropped her down and kissed her. I sighed under my breath and turned to the other side.
My sister is always been a smart girl but not when she choose Ian as her boyfriend. He is a senior in business department. When I join here as a freshman all warned us not to fall for Ian a great Playboy who just uses girls for pleasure nothing serious, never been in serious relationships, and never cared for others' feelings.
I am already allergic to boys and never turn in his direction. But my sister unlike me loves challenges so she took a risk and approached him, to our surprise he agreed and became my sister's boyfriend. Maybe he fell off my sister's looks and unique heart. He spoke with me just once when she introduced me to him. Even after we met many times he treats me like I am invisible to him which I am really grateful for.
Both lovebirds chatted like they were the only ones in this world. Jack's boyfriend Mark, to join us who is our classmate. Only sophomores and seniors were going for this trekking. Freshman was having another plan. Our incharge staff yelled at all of us from group with numbers we were given. I have seven. I began to search for my number I saw two girls with seven. I join them slowly two more boys join us before I let relive sigh Ian stood beside me. I groaned internally and thought, "Fuck this trip".
