Chapter 4: Singing the Sophomore Blues; Part 2

"That's pretty cool." Andrew said, smiling a smile that Kay knew would make her weak at the knees if she were only standing.

"I guess so," she said. Although lunch wasn't very long, they talked about quite a few things. Actually, by the time that lunch was over, Brooke and Kay had given him their numbers and screen names.

"Well, maybe I'll talk to you later." Andrew said to Kay as Brooke ran to her locker on the top floor. Andrew and Kay didn't need to rush because their classes were down the hall.

"Yeah, maybe." With that, Kay turned the corner and slipped into her law class, smiling from ear to ear.

The car ride home was as awful as it was there, but instead of "Come Clean" by Hilary Duff, it was "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne. Kay started to develop a very serious headache as her sister sang:

He was a sk8er boi,

She said see ya later boi,

He wasn't good enough for her.

"I can't take this anymore." Kay said but since the music was blasting, her siblings couldn't hear her.

"Sorry girl but you missed out…"

"SHUT THIS FUCKING MUSIC OFF!" Kay screamed, shocking her sister so much that Savannah hit the brakes and stopped there in the middle of the road. Lucky for them, there was no one following them.

"Oh my gosh, Kay. What did you do that for? You scared me." Savannah said, lowering the volume of the radio and whirling around in her seat to face her younger sister.

"Your lame ass music is driving me insane." She retorted.

"Driving you insane? Wow, Kay, when did you become a comedian?"

"Just do us all a favor and turn off the radio." Kay said, inching her way towards the front seat in case she had to turn it off herself.

"No, it's my car. Well, it's our car," Savannah said gesturing towards Jake who was ready and waiting to bring Kay down. "But it's not your car. So, either listen to our music or walk home." Savannah turned back around and went to turn the radio back up with a smug look on her face when she heard the back seat door open. Suddenly, Kay was standing on the pavement looking her sister in the face.

"Fine." And with that, Kay moved over to the sidewalk and starting walking home, head held high.

Savannah scoffed and began to say something, but Jake urged her to drive. "She's going to get in big trouble. All we have to do is say that we tried to get her back in the car." The two older siblings drove off, leaving Kay on the sidewalk.

Many thoughts crossed her mind in the five miles to her house. Most of which revolved around an axe and her sister's forehead meeting, but by the time she arrived home, Kay's anger found a new direction to take.

She walked in the front door and headed for the stairs when she heard someone clear their throat from the living room. She stopped and faced the voice, which could have possibly come from her grandpa Eric, her Uncle Simon or her father. Also joining them was her grandma Annie and her mother. "Look's like a family affair, I won't bother you."

"You are almost 2 hours late." Kevin said sternly.

"Well, I walked five miles, it's not like she dropped me off at the neighbors house." Kay said moving in the living room.

"Why did you walk anyway? You were supposed to ride home with your sister. If you wanted to walk home every day, you should have asked." Lucy said.

"It's not like a planned it."

"Well, planned or not, you are going to have to be punished." Kevin said, standing up to meet Kay's gaze.

"Oh, so that's why you called a family meeting? So, is this the part when the tribe votes me off the island?" Kay said. Defiantly she walked closer to her family.

"Don't smart mouth me, young lady." He said.

"Well, what the hell am I supposed to do? Isn't the disease supposed to make me smart?"

"Kalila! I thought we agreed to never bring that up. It was your choice. No one in the family, including you, is supposed to bring up… that." Kevin said. The other family members looked very uncomfortable.

"Tell that to your favorite daughter." Kay said. "It doesn't matter anyway, it's not like I'm not reminded every single day. I'm different, I get it. WE ALL GET IT!" she screamed.

"Maybe it's time we leave" Annie said, gathering up her purse.

"No, we are going to have a nice conversation, like usual, about everyone's first day of school. Luce," Kevin said turning to his wife. "Would you mind getting the kids from the kitchen?" Lucy walked off to the kitchen and in minutes the family was sitting, in silence, around the living room.

"Well, isn't this fun." Kay said sarcastically, but everyone caught it this time. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. And it's all my fault, Kay thought.

"Kay, if you are so eager to talk, why don't you start?" Kevin said through clenched teeth.

"Alright, father." Kay said, doing her best imitation of her sister. "Well, you all know how popular I am, right? So, a bunch of freshmen came over to me and asked that I could be their mentor. Can you believe that? It's just so amazing. And then I made the cheerleading squad; this year I'm captain. Yay! Anyway, then a bunch of boys wanted to go out with me, but I said no because I know that they wanted sex, and I want to wait until I'm married." She flashed everyone a grin before turning her head and fake gagging.

"Ehh, such a drama queen." Savannah said. "Why didn't you tell them about the guy you were sitting with today?"

Kay glared at her sister and mouthed you bitch.

"A guy?" her mother asked. "Well, we'll invite him over so we can get to know him better."

"No," Kay said. "No, no no. He's not even a friend; you don't need to know him. You don't need to know every single person that I'm going to see every day."

"Honey, I think we should meet him. And that's final. What's his name?" Kevin said.

"Andrew Lawson." Savannah jumped in before Kay could make up a fake name.

The family meeting lasted another hour but Kay was already in hell. She had just met a guy that seemed decent and now he was going to be a part of the family. Kay just hoped that he didn't have any horrible secrets that he needed help with. Her family helped people no matter what. Sometimes they created problems or made problems worse than they really were just to be able to help.

That night, Kay sat on her bay window with Alia on her lap. The Great Dane knew something was wrong, she always knew. They had a secret bond that no one understood. It was probably because Alia was the first and truest friend that Kay ever had. Alia never judged her, or called her names or alienated her because she was different. The dog just loved her and cared for her, and Kay did the same back. It was the one thing in Kay's life that was good.

"And that's sad." Kay said. Alia looked up at her and licked her chin. Kay smiled and scratched the dog's head.

Knock, knock. "Can I come in?" Kay heard her father say from the other side of the door.

"Sure, why not? It's your house."

Kevin was already in his pajamas, a pair a sweat pants and a shirt, when he opened the door and closed it behind him. He sat on her bed and momentarily glanced at his youngest's bedroom. She had added her flair of color mixed with darkness in it. It was a nice room. Suddenly he couldn't help thinking of the little girl he'd known. She wasn't much different from he young woman sitting before him. She didn't like being near her family. Actually, Kay hardly ever spoke to her parents growing up. She avoided them like they were the plague. Of course the doctor said it was just a stage, but after all this time, Kevin was sure it was the disease. Something about it made her mentally different from most people.

"Is there something you wanted?" Kay said, waking him from his thoughts.

"Yeah," he said. "I just wanted to know if we can ever get passed this?"

"Dad, we had a fight. We've had fights before and this one wasn't even that big."

"No, not our argument. I mean…" he stopped, trying to find the words to say. "This wall. You have built a wall around yourself and everyday it grows stronger. I'm trying to reach you but I can't break through."

"Yes, you are trying to reach me. You are trying to turn me into what you want me to be. That's why I 'built the wall'. I don't want to change. I like who I am, what I am. I'm an individual in a house of plaster molds and you can't handle that." She said, keeping her tone as calm as it would go.

"That's not true."

"Yes it is. Dad, I know you love me, but you hate who I am. You are trying to change me and I have to let you know. It's never going to happen" Kay lifted Alia off her lap and went to her. She grabbed his hand and led him to her mirror. "Look at us, Dad. I know you believe in God, so hear me now, please. Your God is trying to tell you something. We are too different. And that's the way it has to be."

"He's your God, too."

"No, he's not. I don't believe in him. I don't know what I believe, but I know that it's not him. Dad, just go. Goodnight." She said and turned for the bathroom.

"I'm not giving up." Kevin said.

"I know and that's why we can never get along. That's why this rift will never heal." A tear dropped from Kay's eyes before she went into the bathroom.

Kevin stood in her room for a few minutes, listening to the water run as Kay took her shower, not knowing that she was sobbing. He looked around the room once more before he left. His little girl was drifting away from him and he realized that he couldn't stop her. "But that doesn't mean I won't try."

Hey everyone. I know this chapter sort of makes no sense but bare with me. Basically, it says that Kevin and Kay want to be close, but they can't because he won't accept her as she is. Sorry, I'm a little sick still but I wanted to get this part done with. Next chapter will be coming soon. Please Review and tell me anything that you want to know, anything you are confused about, any suggestions or questions. Thanks.
