[ kathryn's pov ]
8:23 am
•••

i woke up in a rush. it was an awfully weird feeling. i felt like i was being forced awake by my own thoughts.

i looked around and saw that ali was still asleep. i quietly threw on a white cropped hoodie with some nike pro tights and my black nike trainers.
simple yet sweet.

i quietly went downstairs with my phone, earbuds, and skateboard in my arms. right before going out the door, a familiar voice caught me.

"kathryn? what are you doing?" a sleepy max asked, his footsteps getting closer.

i looked behind me to see him coming down the stairs, rubbing his eyes with his hair in a mess from the night.

i laughed at the sight a little.

"and what's so funny?" he asked, dramatically scoffing.

i smiled.

"i'm going for a ride..and it's just..your hair," i replied with a small laugh. he smiled sheepishly.

"oh oops. well i gotta go fix this. see ya later okay?" he said, turning around and walking back upstairs. "mkay," i replied, walking outside and beginning to skate.

•••

i had been skating and listening to music for close to 15 minutes before my music was cut off by a call.

i looked down and sighed. harvey.

i waited a few seconds as i stared at the screen and thought about whether i should answer or not. i did.

"hello?" i asked.

"hey," he replied in a mellow tone.

"hey harvey. did you need something?" i asked, confused.

"oh. i just wanted to hear your voice," he said sweetly.

"aw you're sweet," i replied with a small laugh.

he laughed back.

"i try," he replied.

the line was silent for a few short moments.

"so how long will you be gone?" he asked.

"i'm actually on my way back," i replied, turning around and starting to skate back.

"okay cool. so see you in a bit?" he said back to me.

"yeah. see you in a bit harvey." i replied, hanging up.

on the way back, no thoughts ran across my mind. i only listened to music and felt the breeze while skating back to the mills'.

when i walked through the door, i heard running down the stairs. what the heck.

"kathrynnn!" max exclaimed when seeing me.

"why are you so excited?" i asked.

"you and ali's school uniforms came in for tomorrow!" he replied with a smile while thrusting an outfit at me. it was the uniform in all of its glory.

"oh..great.." i replied with a laugh.

"is ali still asleep?" i asked, walking into the kitchen and getting a bottle of water.

"yeah," he replied.

"that's weird. she never sleeps in." i replied, walking towards  the stairs to go see if she was okay.

"i just checked on her. she's fine," max said after me.

i stopped and turned to him. "are you sure?" i asked, uncertain if he actually found everything okay or not.  "i'm sure kathryn. relax," he replied walking to the couch.

i followed him and sat down beside him. he turned on some movie i've never seen before and watched it for a few seconds before looking at me. i looked at him.

"yes?" i asked.

"is karvey okay?" he asked, fully interested.

"are you still using that dreaded ship name?" i asked annoyed.

he nodded and smiled. "i fully support karvey." he replied with another smile.

i laughed which caused him to also.

"well if i must answer, karvey's just fine. he's been really sweet and seems like he actually cares about me which is pretty amazing, considering his past," i replied.

he nodded.

"that's good," he said, turning attention back to the movie.

a few minutes later, harvey walked downstairs on his phone.

"hey max have you seen ka-" he started to say before he looked up and saw us on the couch together.

"oh hey kathryn," he said with a smile.

i smiled back.

"what's up?" i asked as he sat down next to me, squishing max and i.

"harvey! it's a two seater couch! for gods sake!" max complained. i started laughing a little. it seemed like every little annoying thing harvey did had a toll on max.

"then move!" harvey mocked back. max rolled his eyes.

"i was here first," he said as if he had it figured out.

harvey sighed, looked at me, and got up.

"i'm hungry anyway. enjoy yourselves," he said as he annoyedly walked to the kitchen. aww poor harvey.

"max!" i said with a laugh.

"he's so annoying!" max replied, obviously not over it. i just laughed and turned my attention back to the movie along with max.
