Three long years of working hard to become a cardiovascular surgeon, leaving me with only three more years to go.
I sat by myself in the library to go over my notes for my upcoming final exams, instead of focusing on the notes all I could think about is how weird my friends have been acting today. Suddenly talking about taking a trip, for what? I don't have time for a trip when I'm perfectly fine here studying. I leaned back in the chair to glance down at one of many pages of notes, I let out a sigh then began.
Kate:"Hey!"
I closed my eyes then opened them to see Kate sitting across from me with a smile on her face,
Me:"Hey Kate."
Kate:"So we've talked it over and you clearly need a break with all this studying."
Me:"I'm fine Kate, I don't have time for a trip, sorry."
Kate:"Bullshit Kayleigh, clearly you haven't been listening. You study too much and it's obviously draining you so why not come with us? It's not til after school let's out."I crossed my arms as my eyebrow rose,
Me:"For how long? And your sure it's during our summer break?"
Kate:"Yes Kayleigh and for three weeks, camping and hiking out and Wyoming."
Me:"So your telling me, we're taking a trip miles away from home? What if something happens huh?"Kate smiled and shrugged,
Kate:"That's why we have you, your a doctor."
Me:"Correction for the hundredth time, surgeon, who operates on hearts thank you."
Kate:"Who cares that's still a doctor Kayleigh."
Me:"No ma'am, two different things. And for the trip? I'll think about it."
Kate:"Great! See you back at the room!"As Kate stood up the bell rang, I quickly grabbed my things and hurried towards the theater. Why do they want to go to Wyoming? What's so special there that they can't enjoy here in Seattle? I shook my head as I walked through the theater doors seeing Jeffrey sitting up on the stage with a smile.
Jeffrey:"Your late."-he called-
I smiled as I walked down to the stage, I sat my bag down on the stage so Jeffrey stood up and held out his hands which I placed mine in his then he pulled me up.
Jeffrey:"You okay?"
Me:"I'm fine why?"
Jeffrey:"Your normally early and you look like something is bothering you."
Me:"Not really just-"I sighed and sat down so Jeffrey sat down in front of me with a soft smile,
Jeffrey:"Just what?"
Me:"The guys have been acting weird and I finally found out why. They want to take a trip to Wyoming to go camping and hiking."Jeffrey chuckled then looked at me,
Jeffrey:"I know, they spoke to me about it, by the looks of it you don't want to go?"
Me:"I don't know, it's far away from home and a trip like that you never know what could go wrong."
Jeffrey:"Kayleigh."My eyes looked to his as his hand caressed my cheek,
Jeffrey:"Stop worrying so much and thinking about the what if's is just crazy. But I understand, what did you tell Kate since I know you didn't say no to her."
Me:"You're right I didn't, just told her I'd think about it."
Jeffrey:"If I go will that get you to go as well?"
Me:"I don't know."
Jeffrey:"Come on it'll be fun and besides you'll need this before you become a surgeon, when that happens you can forget about free time."
Me:"I'll think about it, now help me study please."
Jeffrey:"Oh alright."6pm..
Jeffrey laughed before finishing his french fries,
Jake:"Seriously I mean come on Kayleigh, thus trip will be incredible. You always said it would be nice to see from a mountain."
Me:"Yes I did say that but I don't know."
Josh:"Please Kayleigh? Chelsea will be coming with us."
Me:"Look I said I'll think about it so I am, I'll let you know ahead of time if I'm going or not. Okay?"
Jeffrey:"Alright guys back off."I took a drink then looked at Jake,
Me:"Why Wyoming?"
Jake:"I've always wanted to visit, Josh and I have some family out there that we haven't seen in years so I figured we could go see them then go camping and hiking."
Me:"I see."
Josh:"Come on clearly her answer is no, so looks like Jeffrey is the third wheel."-he teased-
Jeffrey:"Fine with me."
Kate:"Kayleigh can't go three weeks without you so we'll see you when we get back."
Jeffrey:"The fuck your not, I'm going dammit."-he chuckled-
Me:"Okay fine. I'll go."
Kate:"Told you."
Me:"Shut the fuck up Kate."
Jeffrey:"Did she strike a nerve Kayleigh?"-he smirked-
Me:"No."
Jeffrey:"I think she did."Jeffrey smiled while picking up a french fry from my plate to tap it on my nose then ate it,
Me:"That was gross."
Jeffrey:"I've ate worse."
Jake:"That's just sick man."-he laughed-
Jeffrey:"Probably."I rolled my eyes then watched Jeffrey stand up,
Jeffrey:"I'll go pay then I can take you home."
Me:"Okay."With a smile he walked away,
Kate:"Your parents still see it weird your dating your tutor?"
Me:"Kinda, their a little bit more used to it now."
Kate:"What about you?"
Me:"Are you asking if I find it weird? No I do not."
Kate:"Figured I would ask."
Me:"Odd but okay."
Jeffrey:"Ready Kayleigh?"
Me:"See you guys tomorrow."
Kate:"Remember her house Jeffrey."Jeffrey smirked then shrugged,
Jeffrey:"We'll see."
