out of sight

Ah, I get it. Well, you can still Skype them right? Or call? I know it’s not the same as actually being there but it’s better than no contact at all.

That's true, even if it's not the same. 

Oh.. I’m sorry, I didn’t— never-mind. I’m Katherine. Sorry for being a bitch and all.

S'okay. You didn't know. 

How can it suck? Some of your friends are still here, right? Me, Macie, Mason I think. Nat maybe.

I miss my parents, that's all.

Why are you stuck here? Family doesn’t enjoy your holiday spirit?

My family can't afford to bring my sister and I home for the break.

Actually, no. I’m not kidding. But I’m not normal either so. -she shrugs-

To each their own, I suppose. 

I think it’s quite fun to stay on campus.

You're kidding, right?

Riley sucked her teeth at Justin’s comment, but chose to ignore it. Instead she just disconnected their arms and moved away, the sibling moment ruined. Trust me, your girlfriend is the last person I would ever think about stealing. She’s not that much of a prize.

He almost growled, but he wasn't the one in the family to freak out over comments like that. That was their older brothers, the ones with the tempers. The ones that, for the life of them, couldn't hold their tongues if they tried. Whatever you say, Ry. 

She snorted softly, attempting not to seem as amused as she was. Of course her brother getting hit didn’t tickle her, but really just the situation in general. Even if he found his wooing successful, need I remind you I don’t even like boys. 

Yes, and that still freaks me out. Don't still my girlfriend or anything, please. I like her. He sighed, running a hand through his hair to try and calm himself down. Fine. Whatever.

Riley found herself sighing loudly once again, reaching out and hooking their arms together in a silent thanks, but also to let Justin know she was really okay. I’ve got pepper spray, and my Tazer. I can handle myself. 

He sighed, nodding, still not feeling as if she was completely safe from the guys at that stupid frat. I don't know. I mean, they pry on little freshman like you. 

Something happen?

Got hit with something. No big deal. 

Riley sighed, keeping up with his pace and rolling her eyes. That’s what happens when you of all people try to stop boys from hitting on me.

He snorted. Those guys were from the worst frat on the fucking campus, Riley. One of them got arrested for assault last year. 

Then what are we doing just standing here? We’re getting you to bed, come on. 

To bed? But Mom, I'm not even tired.
