This is set in present time :) (2013) end of the school year for Maura because she finished early but Kate still has a few weeks to go.
Chapter 1
Maura had been back in the US for a week now and she was finally going to go tour the white house. She was so excited to go, sure she was going alone but that's how she liked it she never was really good with people. She cleared security with no problem it's not like there was a lot she could hide on her person she was wearing a high-waisted black and white striped pencil skirt, a red tank top, a black blazer with a lace back and a pair of short black boots, the only other thing on her was her purse which she packed with the essentials, a pen, pencil, note-book, her camera if she wanted to take pictures and not just with her phone and of course she had make-up, ID and money for lunch. When she entered the main room to meet up with a tour guide and hand over her bag to the security inside the building she spotted a group of teenagers talking to each other, what looked like showing off their new outfits, the guys were sitting on benches and talking and some other girls were sitting on the floor with note-books, one girl with honey blonde hair was leaning against the wall and looked like she was drawing, Maura couldn't see her face because her hair was in the way but every once in a while she would push a lock of her hair behind her ear then go right back to what she was doing. Maura hadn't noticed she spaced out until the security guard tapped her on the shoulder then said,
"Bag Miss."
"Oh yes, I'm so sorry I guess I zoned out for a second," she passed her bag to the man and watched him put her bag in a secure room; Maura huffed a laugh then said, "It's my first time here, I'm so excited! I love history it's just fascinating!" the guard smiled at her then said,
"Well, have a good time, your group it just over there." He pointed to the other group of teens then turned back and started talking to his co-worker. Maura smiled and made her way towards the group stopping about a few feet from them.
One thing Kate loved most about field trips was that she didn't have to wear her uniform, she was so happy she was able to sit on the floor like this and not have to worry about her underwear showing; not wearing a skirt was heaven! She loved being able to just wear casual clothes, she was so a jeans and T-shirt girl and her wearing sneakers instead of high heels was even better. She glanced around the room and saw a girl standing away from the group she was holding a note-book to her chest looking away from the group, Kate wished she had her camera because that would be a fantastic shot, but she did have her sketch book, she turned to a new page and hoped that A: the girl would stay still and B: she finished before they had to go on the tour. Kate got right to drawing she wanted to at least get down the basics before they had to go; to her luck the girl didn't move and the tour guide and teacher weren't done whatever they were doing until she finished the pencil sketch, not much detail was added she mostly just got her body and clothes down before she heard her teacher's voice fill the room and her class mates went quite, she looked over at her teacher and waited for him to speak again,
"Everyone gather around! You too!" Maura looked up to see who he was talking to and when she did he said, "Yes you over there in the red!" so Maura reluctantly stepped forward to be by the group, "Okay everyone, this is Anna she will be our guide today, she has some rules to tell you so please listen." He stepped aside for the young woman she cleared her throat then began to state the rules. Kate got up from the floor and made her way to stand by her friend and listen to the rules she flipped to a new page and diligently started writing them all down so she wouldn't forget them, when the rules were done and Anna was just talking Kate started to look around for the girl she was drawing so she could get more details done for her drawing but sadly she had no luck spotting her. There was something about the girl that had her intrigued, she was about the same height and build as Kate and it was a little weird they had the same hair color from what Kate could see, she really wanted to get a look at the girls face, she looked around a bit more and when she didn't see her she let out a sigh,
"Something up Kate?" asked her friend Abby
"It's nothing."
"Are you sure? You've been looking around the room the whole time."
"Yeah I'm sure." She whispered back to her friend with a slight agitation.
"Okay…. So what were you drawing?"
"Nothing really,"
"Can I see it?"
"It's not finished Abs."
"Come on just let me see."
Kate sighed and handed Abby her sketch book. Abby started bouncing with glee and flipped through the pages,
"Doodle, Doodle, this a cat?" Kate rolled her eyes then reached over and turned to the page of the sketch of the mystery girl.
"Wow, Kate this is amazing!"
"Shhh Abby!" Kate hushed her friend,
"Sorry, but this is really good, is this from you mind?" she whispered back,
"Thanks Abbs. No, I saw her standing on the other side of the group and it was a great shot but I can't have my camera in here so I thought I would draw her."
"Well it's great, and I love her shoes." Kate laughed then looked around to see if she could spot her anywhere again,
"There you go again, are you looking for her?"
"Yeah, there was just something about her."
"Ohhh, did Kate find a muse?" Kate hit Abby in the arm playfully and took her sketch book back,
"If you saw her you would probably feel the same way, she just seemed different from everyone else here."
"Well, I guess we will just have to hunt her down and I can see for myself." Kate laughed then they heard the teacher announce to get a buddy and start following Anna the tour guide. Abby linked her arm with Kate's then said, "Ready to start our hunt for the mystery girl?" Kate rolled her eyes then nodded her head and the started after the group.
Maura Followed the group of students, she was in the back and she could see two girls just a couple of people in front of her, she smiled at them and thought, 'I always wanted a friend like that.' The boys in front of Maura soon made their way closer to the front of the group and in no time the two girls were now directly in front of Maura. She could hear them talking, they were looking for someone, Maura knew she shouldn't eavesdrop but she couldn't help it she was curious,
"You see her yet?" asked one of the girls, she had black hair and it was up it pigtails but she didn't seem preppy, she seemed the opposite of that,
"No, not yet. Maybe she's up front." Said the other girl, wearing a pair of jeans and a T-shirt; Maura started to zone out again and she didn't notice the group had stopped and she ended up walking right into one of the girls causing the girl to drop her notepad, she let out an oomph from the impact of Maura bumping into her, Maura was quick to apologize,
"Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!" the girl turned around after she picked up her book,
"It's oka-" Kate stopped dead sentence when she came face to face with Maura and Abby just stared at them in shock.
"This…. No way…. This can't be…..holy shit!" Kate babbled. Maura on the other hand just stared at her in disbelief.
