Kay Bennett excitedly threw the clothes in her hands into a large luggage bag that was resting on her bed. The top of the bag was opened, and it was almost filled to the top with clothes that you would expect teenage girl to wear.
"Damn it," Kay mumbled as she quickly searched through her closet for a blouse to wear that would go well with her black miniskirt. She frenetically moved along through the row of hanging, quickly sliding them across the pole that hung from the walls.
"This one is too old, and that one is too middle school, and that was is so last year. I need something that will make Miguel recognize me as a woman, and not just a girl." She continued to search frantically through the closet, but finally came across the perfect blouse to compliment her skirt. "Yay," she thought happily. "Now...shoes."
Simone Russell, one of Kay's closest friends, predictably walked into Kay's bedroom and sat at the edge of her bed quietly, trying to sneak up on Kay. Without looking out, Kay said, "Simone, I heard you come inside. Are you packed already?"
Simone sighed and fell back on the bed. She stared at the ceiling as she said, "Of course I'm ready. You're always the last one."
Kay stopped in her search for shoes and stuck her head out of the closet door. "What do you mean last? Are you saying that everyone else is ready?"
Simone looked at her and nodded, giving her a "yeah-that's-what-I'm-saying" look. "And Charity was even the first one ready. Everyone is downstairs waiting for you. They sent me up here to tell you that it's time to go."
Kay rolled her eyes and sighed. Her disgust towards her cousin, Charity Standish, was growing by the second. She went back to searching for clothes through her closet, but her thoughts still remained on how much Charity made her sick. In fact, Charity had always made Kay sick. The thought of being related to Charity made Kay sickest of all. As far as Kay was concerned, someone who stole what mattered most to a person and didn't even know it couldn't be counted as family at all.
After finally choosing a pair of shoes that she liked, she stood up and walked back to her bed. "There," she said as she tossed the shoes into the opened luggage. The zipper made a loud sound as she zipped it up. "All done."
"Good. Now we can finally go," her friend said as she hopped off the bed and walked towards the bedroom door. "This should be an interesting camping trip," she said sarcastically in her head as she waited for Kay to pass, who was struggling to keep the bag from hitting her legs. "Packed enough?" She asked with a taunting face.
"Whatever..." Kay retorted back with a dirty look.
Simone shook her head in amusement as Kay clumsily passed by, and then shut the bedroom door and followed Kay down the stairs.
"There she is," Jessica Bennett, Kay's sister, said as Kay walked down the stairs with her luggage in hand. Kay looked in her direction and gave her a dirty look. Simone walked over to the couch and picked up her luggage, which was resting against it.
"Well it seems like we are all ready to go now," Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald said, standing next to his girlfriend, Charity Standish. He was Kay's bestfriend, and unbeknownst to him, the object of her affection. They had known each other since they were small children, and they had grown up together all of their lives. But when Charity came to Harmony, Miguel had fallen for Charity, and abandoned his feelings for his bestfriend. Not only did Charity take away the love of Kay's life, but her family as well, who paid more attention to her instead of Kay herself.
"Well according to my calculations, if we leave now, we will arrive at the camping grounds at 2:30 PM." Said Reese Durkee, who had been unsuccessfully trying to put his arm around Kay. Reese was Miguel's other buddy, and was to Miguel what Simone was to Kay. He, as well as everyone else, was under the false assumption that he and Kay Bennett were an item. The truth, however, was that Kay didn't have any feelings for Reese at all, but used the phony relationship to her advantage in hiding her feelings from Miguel.
"Whatever you say, Reese," Kay said bitterly as she pushed passed everyone and walked out of the front door to the car. Reese stood there by Jessica, hurt by Kay's coldness.
"Don't take it personally, Reese. She's been bitchy all week," Jessica said with a smirk. Reese nodded his head knowingly, and then helped her with her luggage to the car. Simone followed them, and finally, Miguel and Charity made their way out.
"I wonder what Kay is upset about, " Charity asked ignorantly, who had been hanging all over Miguel. She was beginning to realize that Kay was always upset when she was around. The thought was beginning to bother her. Being responsible for her cousin's bitterness was something that she wanted no part in.
Miguel shrugged in response to Charity. "Maybe it's something in school," he said. They continued walking and threw their luggage into the trunk of the car. The teens were going camping in a little resort near the edge of town, and were borrowing Chief Bennett's Chevy Suburban to get there.
"What's your problem?" Simone asked her friends, who was sulking in the corner of the back seat. Kay and Simone sat in the back, Reese and Jessica in the middle, and Miguel was driving, with Charity by his side.
"Oh, nothing. The love of my life is being groped by my goody-two-shoes cousin, but everything is fine and dandy," she replied sarcastically.
Simone grew angry. "You really should try to stop acting like such a bitch twenty-four seven. I think I'm the only one who actually still puts up with it, and I'm really losing my patience." She picked up her headphones angrily and placed them on her head, and turned to face the window.
Kay looked at Simone, and then sighed. She was right. Lately, she was acting extra bitchy because of the way things were going with Miguel and Charity. It seemed like they were falling deeper in love, and that meant bad news for her. She didn't want to end up alone and bitter. But it seemed like that was exactly where she was headed. She leaned her head against the window, and slowly began to slip into the oblivion. Miguel started the car, and the slow and steady hum of the road quickly put Kay to sleep.
