Room 324, Late Thursday Morning
Oct. 1st, 2009 07:02 pmSo. It was Kate’s 16th birthday today.
She’d gotten a birthday phonecall from her family first thing in the morning. It was a lot more extravagant than the one she’d made to her brother on Monday, when it had been his birthday.
It had been as sweet and vaguely embarrassing as always, but it was weird that her family wasn’t here with her, making her feel embarrassed in person.
...And it was even weirder that she couldn’t say she was completely happy that in just a day, her mother and brother were going to be here.
There was no way she could completely ignore the weekend, looming there in the very near future. Talking to Mitchell had calmed her a little, but there was still a lot of stress left, making her slightly twitchy. So many things could go wrong and wreck everything.
But that was a problem for tomorrow, and this was today, and today was her birthday, and she had been promised a present, and she focused on that thought while she watched an appropriate movie on her laptop, and stuffed her face with candy.
