What I Thought I Knew

lost

Kara and Simmon stand there for a moment in silence. Kara not sure on what she wants and Simmon wanting to give her time to think. "You wanna play a game?" He says after a while, and Kara furrows her brows in confusion.

"What?" She asks, confused on the complete change of subject.

He smiles, "a game, I just got this really cool new racing game, and you probably need a distraction, so do you wanna play a game?" He waits for her to respond.

She smiles too, "yeah, sure, let's play a game."  She responds, glad to not have to think about a life changing secret for a moment. They walk upstairs, headed to simmons bedroom to play a game on his Xbox. "When do you think Vicky will be home?"

He shrugs, "not sure, ten maybe, I mean her curfew is Eleven on weekends, so it could be later." She nods, thinking about whether she was going to tell Vicky, not really wanting to go over all the evidence in her head again.

Deciding to not think about it, She gives him a cocky smile, "twenty dollars says I beat you first race."

He smiles back at her as he sits down on the floor, Kara behind him, "I love making easy money." She rolls her eyes as she waits for him to start the game.

"Karina!" She hears her name being called and starts to walk to it. Then someone grabs her hand but when she looks up, it isn't anyone she knows.

"Are you lost?" The woman says, and Kara nods, the woman smiles at her. "I'll help you find you parents," they start to walk away from where she thought she heard her name being called.

"Are you thirty, do you wanna juice?" The woman asks, pulling a juice box out of her purse and handing it to her.

"Thank you," Kara says, Beginning to drink the juice. Suddenly she starts to feel sleepy and the woman picks her up, patting her head as she lays it down on her shoulder. Right before she falls asleep she swears she hears someone call her name again.

She wakes up in Simmons bed, simmon no where in sight. She must have fallen asleep, and Simmon probably moved her to his bed before he went to sleep somewhere else. She stands up, her dress wrinkled and twisted in a way that made her feel claustrophobic. She fixes her dress, before walking out of his room, planning to quietly grab a t-shirt and shorts of hers from Vickys room.  Sneaking into Vickys room she starts to grab her clothes when she hears someone come in the room. "Oh crap!" Vicky whisper shouts, her hand over her heart. "What are you doing here, you scared me!" She whisper yells.

"Wait, are you just now getting in, it's two in the morning?!" Kara whisper yells back at her.

Vicky rolls her eyes, "Aria and me decided to go one step further then dyeing our hair,"  she then lifts her shirt to show Kara a bellybutton ring, light from the street lamp shiny through the window and reflecting off of it.

"Your parents are going to kill you," Kara tells her, weirdly feeling a mixture of left out and relieved, not really wanting a bellybutton piercing.

"You didn't answer my question, what are you doing here also you look like you slept in that dress." She says walking over to her bed and kicking her shoes off.

"I came to talk to you, but you weren't here so I hung out with simmon instead. I fell asleep, but then I had a bad dream and decided to change into clothes I can actually sleep in." She explaines walking into the bathroom in between Vicky and Simmons rooms, to change.
