The Children of the Sisterhood
Chapter 2
Alabama, meet the Kleins. We're back.
I walked up to the front porch of my grandmother's house and I knew before she opened the door, it was going to be a very long summer.
Of course, that was only a hunch.
As soon as Grandma K opened that door and practically stopped my breathing in her back-breaking hug, I knew that this would be a long summer.
My mom smiled, she looked at Dad and then at me, "Linz, why don't you go see if you can see anyone you remember?"
I shrugged anything to get away, "Okay." I began to run towards the soccer fields, maybe I wasn't that into soccer as I was then, but it was still fun to play.
"Lindsay Klein!" I heard the voice of Caitlin Bunting, my "Alabama best friend". She ran over to me. "Oh my gosh! It's you!"
"Oh my gosh! It's me!"
Melly Belly,
I've just arrived in the state where incest is legal. Haha! Just kidding dear. But I wanted to write to you before you go to Europe and abandon the good old USA. Whoa… Just sounded like my dad. But remember Miss Mel, while you're off discovering all the European hotties, don't forget us. The little people who've always been here for you.
Lots of Love,
Linz XoXoX
"Melanie! Are you almost ready! We have to leave in a few minutes!"
Mom was going psycho. She wasn't ready to go to Europe. No matter how many documentaries she made, she still wasn't used to traveling across the Atlantic Ocean and debuting them.
And hate to say it, I wasn't ready either. I didn't want to leave my home yet.
"MELANIE!"
"I'm coming!" I picked up the multiple duffel bags my mom made me pack. I threw them in the back of the van and sat in the back seat. My two younger siblings were sitting in the captain seats. Hayden and Kristen, they were both 13 and thought they were on top of the world. I really wished I was with Linz, Jess, and Savannah right now…
Arriving
Europe. Here are the McBrians. Get used to us, we're going to be here a while.
Hayden and Kristen walked out of the airport, seeing our rental car their jaws dropped.
It was a limo, big deal? We rode in one to go to junior prom. But I have to admit, riding around Europe in a limo, it was pretty cool.
A man opened up the door of the limo, and my mom seemed to recognize him. "Kostos?"
The man she had called Kostos blinked, "Oh… It's Tibby… Friend of Lena."
"Yeah… Since when do you… I thought…"
"Yes, I am a mere limo driver… But it is great to see you again."
I tried not to laugh, as I got into the car. Hayden and Kristen were already sitting.
"Did you see him?" Hayden asked Kristen, her eyes nearly popping out of her head.
"He was drop dead gorgeous!" Kristen replied, with equal eye-popping.
"Who?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Kostos!" They both shrieked at me.
"He's too old for you both; no matter what prostitution methods you try." I said, rolling my eyes and shrinking into the seat. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen.
Linzy Loo,
I'd rather be in incest-state than here! Sure, it's supposedly land of the hotties, but the only "hottie" I've had any sight of that anyone in my family thinks is hot, is Kostos. Yes. Kostos. As in Jessica's mom's ex-boyfriend. He's here! And he's our driver for the entire summer.
Wish you were here,
Melly
"Pass it to Lindsay!" The coach of the Alabama summer league was screaming to my friend, Bianca, "She's wide open!"
Of course, Bianca listened. I mean, who didn't want to see the daughter of Bridget Vreeland and Billy Klein score?
I didn't. But I trapped the ball and dribbled down the field, scoring.
As it turns out the goalie was a guy and "the hair" as Tibby (Melanie's mom) calls it, had struck.
I was used to the Girls Only Leagues of Maryland and DC. And now I was in Alabama, where all sports were co-ed, unless it was a school league. And they didn't have school now. Luckily.
But then again, was it lucky? I mean… Even if it was summer they should still have had 2 different leagues. Then no one would be attracted to "the hair". I need to stop now. I'm getting into a feminist rant.
At the end of the game the goalie came over to me, "I definitely let you get that goal."
"Can't accept the fact that you've been beaten by a girl?"
"I was distracted; they shouldn't let hot girls play."
"Was that an insult and you flirting with me at the same time?"
"Maybe…"
"Stay in your own league." I turned and walked over to Caitlin, Bianca, and Karen.
Bianca smiled, "You still got it in you."
I shrugged, "I don't really play anymore."
"You're kidding…" Karen's jaw had dropped.
"Nope."
Jess,
Well, well, well little lady. I hope you're having fun at lacrosse camp. Because, I sure as hell wish I was there with you instead of here. It's a well-known fact. I would rather be sitting at home rotting away with daytime TV. But anyway, have fun with the pants. Because I know you'll treat them right.
All the Love I Got,
Linzy
So far, so good… The cabins at lacrosse camp were of decent structure, they didn't look like something that would fall on top of me in the middle of the night… That was good.
There were 10 girls in my cabin, and everyone was either 15, 16, or 17. I had only gotten to know 2 of the girls, Tina and Emily. But that didn't matter… I was unpacking my stuff when Emily ran over to me, "Jessica! You have a package already!"
"I have a what?"
She handed it to me, the return address read Alabama, "Oh my god! I get them as soon as I get here!" I tore the box open and grabbed the pants, setting them on my bed. I quickly read through the letter smiling. Then I put it in the drawer of my nightstand.
Tina raised her eyebrow, looking at the pants, "It's a pair of jeans…" She said, highly confused, "With writing all over them." She was from Alabama and her accent was highly noticeable.
"It's not just the jeans." I said, "It's the story behind the jeans…"
"Well, what's the story behind the jeans then?" Emily, from Montana, asked me.
"You wouldn't believe it." I said, quickly changing from the khakis I had been wearing to the pants. They fit me perfectly. Just as we all had predicted. We all being Linz, Mel, Savannah, and me.
Tina and Emily simply shook their heads, "Come on." Tina said laughing, "We have to get to lunch." And the three of us walked towards the dining hall.
Omg x panic at the disco: I was looking at a names site and wanted an original name… And voila. The name Savannah spoke to me! And then… I used it!
