"Han we have to do that stupid freaking assignment tonight. I hate the fact that we have Trig as our last period!"Kim yells throwing her hands in the air
"Your sister could help us right? I mean she is like weirdly smart. Also who did you say was coming to pick us up?"I ask not sure if we were going to have to wait for a half an hour like last time.
Kim has the tendency to not tell her parents if she wants them to come and fetch her.
"Mmm either my Mom or my Dad but definitely not both."She says grinning at me
"You sure are smart. What about Beth?"I ask seeing her shrug and sit on the floor taking out a lollipop
Nothing ever seemed to faze Kim , like at all or ever. She is the most relaxed person I know of course I am the one that has to know what the plan is. Exactly like my Mom in that way I guess.
"Hey is your Mom at the Hospital working late tonight?"Kim asks stretching out her legs
"Yeah she has important patients she has to tend to and a lot work paper work to do."I say waiting to hear Kim's not so subtle way of making me laugh . One of the things I loved about her.
She looks at me for a while then looks up at the sky "Hey at least she can buy you as much love as you want. Oh and another thing do you think she can buy me some love too. Coz my easy joe fridays are pretty worn out."She says with a toothy grin showing me her torn shoes.
"Easy joe friday shoes?"I ask questionably
"Yeah you know the shoes you always put on because they make you feel pretty .Well these aren't doing it anymore."She says pouting at her worn our shoes. At least they did look vintage and only Kim could pull of the homeless look I swear.
"Kim Hannah Banana jump."I hear Beths voice at the back of us
Kim quickly jumps up opening the back door of her sisters car smiling brightly knowing Beth would harass me with twenty questions
"Oh right Han I totally asked my sister to come and fetch us I completely forgot. Silly Kim."She says getting in the car as I shake my head and climb in in front .
"How was school?"Beth asks as me and Kim reply in Unison "Fine Mom."Making us giggle at each other
"Well I am so proud."She says taking out a cigarette lighting it and turning on her radio where I hear a band I have never heard before. She sings softly along with the music driving us home.
"How was work?"I ask Beth as she parks her car outside the house
"It was bullshit through and through. Sarah is fucking everything up."She says fixing her hair
"Is she still torturing you?"Kim asks
"Yeah psychos bitch just needs to move on."Beth laughs getting out the car
When we walk into the Williams home I smell cookies in the oven and know that Kim's Mom is home. We walk to the kitchen while Kim and Beth mock Beth's old girlfriend Sarah. I never liked Sarah she always seemed to have hidden prospects. Not that I would say anything to Beth.
Damn I love coming to this house. Everything is so homey here. I love the fact that everybody is so close and shares everything.
"Hello Misses Williams ."I say hugging their Mom as they both kissed there Mom on the cheek
"Hello sweetheart , Hello Kimmy .Beth did you throw away those cigarette buds I asked?"Her Mom asks Beth
"Mom I am 25 you can't tell me what to do."Beth say with her hand on her hips all dramatic
Her Mom just looking at her straight in the eyes and Beth quickly deflates.
"Sorry Mommy I will go do that now."She says disappearing around the corner almost running.
Shaking her head she takes my hand "I will call your Mom tonight and asks her if you can stay here with us this weekend we are off to our old camping spot with the RV."Her Mom says her face lighting up at the talks of it.
I turn to Kim seeing her roll her eyes making a puking sound "Yeah Han. IT Really is..Amazing."She mocks her mother taking me by the arm dragging me out of the kitchen.
Finally after a series of tv shows we decide to start with our dumb assignment .All three of us lay on the bed trying to do this stupid assignment well not really Kim she is basically just on her phone telling us what to do .Mostly me and Beth doing everything . That is the way it usually was.
"So where is your dad now?"Beth asks out of nowhere
"In Africa. He will be home In a few months."I say seeing her nod
"This doctors without borders thing must really suck for your mom and you. I mean you not seeing your dad and your mom not getting laid."She says earning a kick from Kim
"I'm sure they can wait a few months they love each other."I say smiling to myself
Mom and dad have been together for just over 30 years now and they couldn't be happier. I know they hate being apart and my dad keeps telling me he wishes he could spend more time with me but to be honest I know they both are just trying to provide a better future for than what they grew up in.
"Maybe when your are older you will understand the physical urge."She says smiling knowingly at me. The all knowing Beth.
"Beth stop speaking to her like she is a toddler."Kim says shaking her head in annoyance. "Do you always have to make us feel inferior?"Kim says half yelling at Beth.
Oh yeah when I said the family was extremely close I meant Beth and Kim also fight like emenies. Its actually quite funny to watch because within an hour one or the other will be apologizing and hugging the other or smothering them with kisses.
"Well she is still a kid and so are you."Beth says lighting another cigarette glaring at Kim. "Can we just finish this assignment before you have a break down?"She says
I hated it when she talked to me like I was stupid. Like I didn't understand anything about sex or anything about lust. I know I am not as educated as whoever but I do know enough to hold up a conversation. I knew Kim hated it as well. Some of it mostly yo do with the fact that Beth doesn't want Kim doing those things and doesn't like talking about it around her. Thsi is one of the first times she didn't want to talk to me about sex.
Later that night I laid in bed with Kim next to me not able to sleep. I turned to her seeing her texting. Probably texting Fred.
"Kim.."I say looking her way seeing her look at me curiously
"Yeah?"She asks smiling at me
"Do you think what Beth said was true? That I'm a child. Do you think she really think she thinks we are stills children?"I ask after a few moments of thought she looks my way confused
"I don't care what she thinks. I mean we are 17 you are turning 18 in two months. In some way me might still be teenagers and in some ways grown up. I guess what I am trying to say is that I like the fact that we aren't on either side at the moment that means we can get away with being young and stupid."She smiles giving my hand a squeeze "hope that a helped a lil?"She asks
She was right I wasn't going to upset myself over Beth. It was probably just backlash from whatever shit Sarah was giving her. She was in a bad mood and we were in the line of fire.
"Yeah of course. Nite Kimmy. "I say turning to my side
....
Waking up this morning I walk to the fridge to get me and Kim some juice. As I walk into the kitchen I see Beth and Sarah making out. Beth sitting on the kitchen counter and Sarah in between her legs . Guessing she didn't just get here considering they are both in their pajamas
"Morning."I say grabbing juice not wanting to make conversation with the ex or Beth really .
"Hey Hannah Banana wait up."Beth says jumping off of the counter jogging towards me in her black short shorts and pajama tank top.
"So I think I owe you an apology."She say smiling sheepishly at me holding her hands together
"No its fine Beth."I say smiling politely trying to turn around to leave
"No its not I am you feel 5 years old. It's just that you are like a sister to me and thinking about you and Kim. Well I don't know that stuff just freaks me out think about you going there with someone else. I know we talk about this I just think you are the same age as Kim and I don't want Kim being active. I did it way to early and well yeah."She coughs and shakes her head seeing her cheeks flush a bit. "Whatever just know I don't think you're a kid. Far from it" She says rubbing my shoulder
"Thanks. Why is she here?"I ask seeing Sarah roll her eyes at me
"She came to collect her things. I wanted to say goodbye properly "Beth says smirking
"What the Fck!?"I hear Sarah say pushing Beth out of the way and running out the door.
Beth keeps smiling at me as I look at her surprised.
"Smooth one."
"Aint I always."She says kissing my head and walking passed me back upstairs.
I can't believe she slept with Sarah again. After clearly stating how much she hated her. Well it's not something new to me. I have always known that Beth was never one to sleep alone.
"Hannah?"I hear Misses Williams
"Morning Misses Williams "I say smiling at her offering her something to drink
"Are you okay Hannah you seem a little flushed? Could it be you were thinking of a boy?"KIms Mom asks winking at me.
"Oh no I was just day dreaming."I say making conversation and heading back up to Kim room.
I walk passed Beth's room seeing her stand in her sports bra and short shorts .I watch how incredible toned her body is as she takes off her shorts standing in hot pants and a sports bra . I wish I had a body like that. Wow I never ever thought she looked liked this underneath her clothes. When why would I.
When I looked up trying to urge myself to walk again I saw her looking at me in the mirror a look on her face I can't quite describe it seemed vacant as she stared back at me now. I quickly shook my head walking into Kims room trying to shake the images of Beth's body from my mind. I feel embarrassed. I just saw my 'big sister' half naked . I would never live long enough to let this one down
The following week was uneventful. Everyday seems to fly by now that we are seniors. Kim and I never really could find a click that fit so we always just used to hang out with everyone and make friends everywhere. So since yesterday I guess Kim is in a relationship with one of our close friends they seem to be hitting it off pretty well. She invited him to the camping weekend. Which is awesome considering Beth and I would be the only two lonely losers.
Maybe I should just cancel and stay at home this weekend. I'm sure Kim's Mom wouldn't mind .Kim won't let me not go. She will say that I am betraying Best friend duty. Meaning talking to Fred about how amazing Kim is. Also I just know this weekend Beth is going to want to talk to me about the whole clothes situation. Somehow I tried blocking that out of my memory.
"Come on Hannah Banana!"Kim's Dad calls me from outside the house making me realize I am the only one left to gather all my stuff. Throwing everything into my bag I run out jump onto the RV.
"Since you are last you get the best seat in the house."Beth's says pointing to her lap.
I wanted to argue but once I saw how fully packed the RV was I just shut my mouth and sat on her lap.
"Don't get any funny ideas Beth."Misses Williams yells looking at Beth
"Mom?!I'm not doing anything."She says rolling her eyes resting her arms behind her putting on her shades and her earphones.
"I see your sister is looking forward to this weekend."I joke sticking out my tongue to Beth
"Her apartment fell through somebody out bid her. She has to look for a new place now. Mom said she should just say at home but she wants her own place."Kim says
"There will be other places. She will get there."I say messing up Beth's hair
Beth grins dragging her fingers through her shoulder length brown hair ."You shouldn't have done that Hannah Banana."She says tickling my sides as I squirm around begging her to stop. I have one freaking weak spot and Beth knows where it is.
"Haha see I always win."Beth says finally stopping as her one hand still stays holding onto my side. I don't know if she realized what she was doing but I felt her thumb rub over the material of my shirt and i couldn't concentrate of anything else going on .All I knew was that I was still feeling Beth touch me. She was touching me over and over again. I looked up seeing Kim frown at me.
"Beth snap out of it."Kim says rolling her eyes making Beth quickly pull her hands away from me and rest on her arms again a slight smile on her face.
"Sorry Han she did that to me yesterday she is missing Sarah so she forgets and starts being all touchy. I punched her hard to make her snap out of it."Kim says emphasizing her punch earning a chuckle from Fred
"Babe you are too beautiful to hit anybody."Fred says kissing her hands
I hear Beth make a puking sound and put her earphone back on shaking her head. I am surprised Beth didn't give him the speech yet. Usually all of Kim's boyfriends get this long ass speech from Beth which pretty much is a warning. I have heard it so many times I could tell it off by heart.
I'm glad that Kim said the touchy thing was just a reflex that Beth had being with Sarah. I suppose it made sense once you have a habits of doing something it takes a while to break. Hopefully Beth's Sarah habit would break over the course of this weekend.
After what seemed like a lifetime we finally made it. With Fred and Mr. Williams unpacking everything us girls just sat on the camping chairs with cocktails having conversation. I must say if the weekend is going to be like this I want to come with them every year.
Kim's Mom was so relaxed when it came to drinking. My parent would have freaked out if we drank in front of them but Misses Williams always buys us alcohol telling us she would rather have us enjoy alcohol in front of her than behind her back. Which I suppose is true.
"No Kimmy you must think I am very dumb if I allow you and Freddy to sleep in die same bed. You and Han will bunk together Beth's gets her own bunk and Fred on the couch."Her Mom says winking to Beth.
"Thanks Mommy" Beth says kissing her Moms cheek
"Mom that is so unfair why can't Hannah and Beth bunk together and me and Fred?" Kim asks
"Gee thanks friend. I feel so welcome."I say really feeling insulted.
"Han sorry I didn't mean to offend you. Still love you."Kim says patting my back.
"You are so mean. Mom look at how sad Han is now."Beth says scolding Kim
"Okay okay okay. No fights! Kim you go pour us another drink and Beth you stop trying to stir up your sister. Besides I was the one who invited Hannah so if you guys don't want to bunk with her I will."Kim Mom says earning a laugh from Kim , Kim father and Beth.
"What I am serious.."Kim's Mom says
"No Mom she doesn't want to bunk with you!"Kim says hugging me from behind
"She is my best friends and she is bunking with me."Kim says
Oh great now everybody is fighting over me. Just a second ago nobody wanted to have near them.
"I will tell you what the first night Kim and Hannah bunk together and the second night Hannah and Beth. That is it no more arguing."Kim's Dad says making all of us just nod in agreement not daring to argue with Mr. Williams
...
"Where is your sister?"Misses Williams asks Beth as we sit by the fire making smores
"Probably making out with Fred somewhere."Beth says "I think I saw them walking towards the lake."She says sipping on her drink.
"I think this will be my last drink or I might just get drunk."I say giggling sipping on my drink seeing Beth giggle as well
"We don't want a drunk Hannah do you remember last time?"She asks making my cheeks flush red instantly
"When I took off all my clothes and jumped in the pool yeah not really that easy to forget."I say covering my face
"Well that was Vodka I'd be sure to give it to you again if I want that to happen again."She says smirking looking at the fire
"What you mean see me in my underwear?"I ask before being able to stop the words from coming out.
She looks at me unsure of what to say shaking her head popping a smore into her mouth pointing to her now filled up mouth as a sign that she can't say anything. She grinned looking at where her parents was under the tree kissing each other and spinning each other around. They looked like teenagers.
"You mean like you stared at me in my underwear?"Beth says still looking at her parents as I start choking on my smoore making her laugh hysterically.
"No..I was just walking past your room."I say getting up and walking into the RV
What the hell. She knew I was looking at her. It didn't mean anything I was sure of that. I know she is going to come in here right now and make a joke out of it but right now I don't want to be here. I want to disappear.
"Han?"I hear Kim's voice and turn to see her and Fred smiling at me
"Yeah?"
"We are going to get ready for bed do you want to come with us?"She says
I nod gathering my shower supplies and see Beth on her phone arguing with someone. Probably Sarah. I won't be surprised to see them back together.
The rest of the night I tried to avoid Beth knowing that we would talk it out tomorrow. Something are better left to another day. Especially when I have had my fair share of cocktails.
Climbing into bed I feel Kim snuggle up to me "Han thanks for coming with. Love you."She says snuggling more against me
"Love you too even if you did diss me all day."I say closing my eyes with a smile on my lips
...
"Freddy turn around your are just going to tan on one side. It will look odd."I say splashing him making him fall off his tube. I guess he was sleeping this whole time.
"Damn!!My skin is burning like hell!!"He yells running up to the camp grounds were Misses Williams puts on sun tan lotion scolding him for being so careless.
"Your Mom likes Fred doesn't she?"I ask Kim
"Yeah I suppose its because we were friends for so long and she got to know him before we dated."Kim says turning onto her stomach looking over at Beth who is swimming back and forths doing lenghts in the lake.
"Does she ever stop exercising and just have fun."Kim asks calling Beth to us
No.
"Yeah?"Beth asks flipping her hair backwards running her fingers through her hair. I swear she could have been in a commercial right now.
"Wanna race?"Kim says earning a toothy grin from Beth. They are so competitive
"If you really want to lose."Beth says her hands over her chest
"Okay Fred is carrying me on his back and you are carrying Han."Kim says
"No no I don't want to be a part of it."I say shaking my head profusely
"Why not all four of us against each other?"Beth asks
"You know Han can't swim very well. Well she sucks."Kim says making Beth grin again asif thinking back to something. And I instantly knew what she was thinking back to.
Flashback
"Han you are crazy it's like zero degrees or whatever. I am not going to save your ass!"Kim yells in the distance
They think I am drunk but I know I am not. I can't believe I was the only one that was never skinny dipped before.
And cold ?Please I could live in this weather forever in my freakin undies.
"Nah nah I'm fyn like sunshyn. Hehehe I rhymed. Yeah that rhymed as well. Double whamy!|"I Yelled running forward and jumping into the pool opening my eyes under water to see someone jumping in the pool grabbing me and holding me against them.
"Hannah Banana you're crazy."Beth says looking at me lovingly
I wrap my legs around her holding onto her and throwing my arms around her neck. "Can't we just stay here everything is easy in the pool."I whisper against her chest as she climbed up the steps throwing a towel around me and setting me down on the couch.
"Han its Beth not Kyle."
.
End of Flashback
"Right I remember now she can't swim very well."Beth chuckle a silly smile still plastered on her face.
Oh well I have embarrassed myself so much around Beth nothing more could make a difference.
"Whatever happened to Kyle?"Beth asks out of nowhere
"Kyle? Oh last year I don't know really I think he was more serious than I was so we broke up."I say watching Kim frown at me
"I thought you said you liked someone else more?"Kim said
"No. I never said that."I say making Kim look at me even funnier
"You said you broke up with him because you had strong feelings for someone else you told me to promise not to tell remember?"She asked making me realize something I didn't want to remember.
I'm guessing at the same time she figured it out as well because she suddenly got up and went over to her Mom and sat down there with them.
"That was a long time ago."I say looking at Beth then back at Kim
"A very very long time ago."I say to myself
...
"Hey Han wake up."I hear someone say
"No I'm sleeping."
"No you're talking come on wake up quickly."
I open my eyes to see Beth out of bed standing in front of me with towels in her hands.
"What are you doing?"I ask climbing down the stairs to the ground.
"Come and ill show you."She says pulling me by my hand out of the RV
"Beth we can't go out there this late we will get eaten by wolves."I say physically showing how scared I was.
"There aren't any wolves out here come on trust me."She says picking me up and running making me yell slightly
"Shhhh Mom and Dad are going to wake up!"
Finally I give up fighting against it and before I know it we make a stop and she puts me back down.
I look around and see we are at the lake.
"What you want to swim?"I ask her questionably
"If I remember correctly you have never skinny dipped before?"She says with a straight face taking off her shirt. Soon after her pants."turn around I want to take off my undies."She giggles as I just watch her with bulged eyes and turn around quickly and after a few minutes a splash
"Fck its cold..."I hear her whisper as I turn around and she smiles at me
"Come on your turn the water is really great."She smiles
I didn't know where I got the courage or whether it was Beth who asked but all I knew was I was busy lifting my shirt and taking off my pants while Beth Williams was looking at me. Staring at me.
She looked away letting me strip out of my undies and I jumped in the water a few feet away from her. She turned to look at me and smiled "So how does it feel?"She asked
And then I started laughing and swimming around taking in this feeling of being free and the cold water against my body I needed heat but I would settle for feeling like I could do anything. Heat would come later.
"I feel fuckinfantastic!!"I yell plopping my head under water
Coming back up I see Beth swim closer to me maybe two feet away now smiling at me still like she is witnessing a kid ride a bike for the first time.
"So are you going to tell me what happened with you and Sarah or is that another part of the Beth mystery train."I say to her seeing her roll her eyes
"Nothing really to say. There is someone else. She owns the bar at Santiago's I like her."She says
"Oh well that is good right?"I say feeling my hands get fidgety wanting to know more.
"I guess. So now its my turn. Who were you talking about earlier on?"She asks
"I told you Kim had it wrong we just broke up for no reason he was more serious than I was."I say seeing her swim closer to me
"I know what you said."She says looking at me like she thinks I'm lying, Probably because I was.
"It doesn't matter now. I was a kid."I say looking up at the sky trying my best to avoid eye contact.Looking down I see Beth standing against me looking me straight in the eyes.
Her hands find my waist and I feel as vulnerable as I ever have. Not wanting to question anything about what is happening I just look at her seeing her frown at me leaning in her mouth by my ear now. A shiver shooting up my shine.
"You still are a kid."She whispers the words cold.
Then she swims away getting out of the lake bare naked turning to me. And I don't know why but I felt her linger there awhile like she wanted me to look at her. Such things I could only be imaging, such things were impossible.
What the hell have I gotten myself into.
