Kathryn isn't having the fun she was promised. Of course, it was to be expected, seeing as she was basically forced to go, but still. One could hope, right?
"Kat look!" Sarah screams from the top of the buoy, stuck in the sand. "I'm like Leo in Titanic. You love that movie."
She does. She loves to watch it and scream at the screen. It's practically a sport at this point. "Yeah well, remember how the movie ends," she screams back. "Don't break your neck."
Sarah rolls her eyes, and jumps in Topper's arms to get down. Topper is her latest boyfriend. He's cute. He has a nice face. That's the only nice thing about him – he doesn't have much of a personality, from what she's seen. He likes Sarah, and he's decent. That's about it. Sarah never seems to settle down anyway. She's kind of a runner, everytime someone gets close.
As opposed to her, who makes sure no one even gets the chance to approach her. She doesn't like proximity of any kind. Not anymore, at least. She's heard some Kooks call her 'Ice Queen'. It's better than the one the Pogues came up with. Weirdly enough, she'd rather be called a queen than a bitch.
Kathryn tears her gaze from the happy couple, and looks back at the other side of the beach. Even now, at a kegger party, the two parts of the island are divided. She can see the hint of John Booker Routledge's pink cap, from where she is, and sits further back on the log, next to Topper's friends. She doesn't plan on being seen.
In theory, it should be easy. They're on opposite sides of the beach, and the Pogues don't even know she's back on the island in the first place, so they wouldn't even think of looking for her.
Of course, trust boys to start a fight and set her whole little plan on fire.
But for now, they haven't seen her. They're all clearly enjoying themselves. John B is busy flirting with some blonde girl, Pope Heyward is talking to someone further down, and Kiara Carrera looks like she's in a heated conversation around the bonfire. God knows what the other one is doing. Out of all of them, she wished she had eyes on him. She could prepare herself in the case where any of the others see her and strike up a conversation with her.
