If there were two things that everyone knew about KASSIDY LAINEY,it was that she absolutely hated science. It was confusing and hard, and every time she even looked at a science book, she felt like her head was going to explode.
The second thing? Kassidy Lainey hated being called anything besides Kit. No one knew how the nickname started, but she never explained it. Since age 10, it was the only thing she responded to.
The truth was that the origin of the nickname all went back to the Sapulpa Rodeo. Kit had been crowned Junior Rodeo Queen and was doing a lap on her horse. To her luck, just as the cameras pointed at her, she fell off, landing flat on her back in front of the entire crowd. Kit considered it one of her life's most humiliating moments.
The moment of humiliation didn't last long. Within seconds, it slowly shifted from an embarrassing story she'd rather forget, to a memory she never wanted too. Because in this moment, when she was sitting at a picnic table, holding an ice pack to the back of her head, a girl her age skipped up towards her. Her blonde hair was chopped just above her shoulders, while she tilted her head, and the first thing Kit noticed was how she smiled. At 10 years old, Kit didn't understand the butterflies that filled her stomach, but she took them as a bad thing, which is why she had scowled at the girl asking what was so funny.
"I didn't say something was funny," the girl shrugged and sat beside her. "But you did fall off a horse into the mud," She giggled. Kit's eyes narrowed, and she looked down at her boots. "Sorry, didn't mean to laugh at you. I'm Kate," the girl- Kate offered her hand, and Kit stared at it. When she didn't shake it, Kate pulled back and shrugged. "You going to tell me your name or I gotta guess?"
"Didn't you hear it when I fell? They said it loud." Kit muttered the last part.
"Nah, I was distracted 'cause it's going to rain."
Kit narrowed her eyes, confused. It wasn't even cloudy out? The sky was mostly full of stars.
"So what's your name? Or do I have to keep calling you First Aid Kit in my head?" she giggled again, and Kit sighed, taking the ice pack off her head.
"Kassidy." Kate crinkled her nose and shook her head.
"I don't like it. I like Kit better."
"That ain't my name."
"It is now." Kate and Kit stared at each other. Kate had a bright smile on her face, and Kit had a scowl that, after a few seconds, turned to a little smile before Kate kept talking. Something about the rain, which sure enough showed up just minutes later, caused the rodeo to scatter when the sound of the tornado sirens began. Kit always wanted to know how she knew it was going to rain, but when Kate tried to explain it, the only thing she could feel was confusion.
