Anna & Kat Schemes
Kitty Seymour did not like Henry Eighton, he was mean, he was sexist and he was ugly both inside and out. Apparently, Anne was blinded by her sadness of what happened with her and Cathy last year because otherwise, Kitty could not come up with any other reasonable explanation as to why her sister would date that weirdo.
"It's two o'clock in the morning Anne where have you been?!" Their mum cried out in a rage. Kitty sighed Anne had been going out late and coming home even later. Their mum was getting fed up, or more accurately pissed off. "Are you drunk young lady!!?" Jane cried out shrilly and Kitty shook her head sadly, as she pulled her army of stuffed creatures close to her. Yup, she sure missed the days when Cathy and Anne were friends. "You're fifteen years old you are a child! My child and I will not let you throw your life away for some prepubescent hoodlum who's too old for you-" Kitty pressed her stuffed cat over her head. Did they have to argue so loudly?
Anna groaned trying to block out her mama and Cathy's repetitive and rather loud arguing, they'd been at it for months now and Anna just really needed her sleep.
"I'm fifteen you can't dictate me anymore!" Cathy snapped sharply, Anna groaned pushing the pillow tighter over her head. At this rate, Anna was even considering going to her dad's for the weekend if it means getting some peaceful sleep for once.
"You will not use that tone of voice when you speak to me Catherine Parr Aragon not unless you want me to bring you over my knee, fifteen or not you are a minor-" their mama retorted and Anna groaned this was getting ridiculous she had a wrestling match tomorrow. Moodily she grabbed her headphones and blasted her music.
Kitty was moodily eating her lucky charms unicorn cereal when her mum stumbled into the kitchen in an awful mood of her own.
"Kit I said I would make breakfast today." Her mum snapped and Kitty scowled just because Anne was being a jerk didn't mean she deserved to be yelled at over cereal.
"It's ten o'clock." Kitty deadpanned tiredly as she polished off her cereal rinsed her bowl and left the kitchen, there was only one person who could help her.
Anna groaned loudly when her mama woke her up at nine-thirty claiming it was important to keep a schedule. Anna would rather sleep, but knew her mama was definitely not in the mood to be undermined so she slumped from her bed and lazily got dressed. Cathy had taken to being woken up about as well as expected. Their arguing was still going well past ten and Anna moodily made eggs for herself before she left the rest in the pan for her mama and sister whenever they stopped fighting and retreated to the couch for some telly and quiet. Of course, then the doorbell went off.
"I'll get it!" She called out, not that they could hear over their bickering.
Anna was surprised to see Kitty standing on her doorstep, looking as tired as she no doubt felt.
"Hi Anna, I have an idea. Can we talk?" The thirteen-year-old yawned and Anna smiled fondly at her before glancing behind herself.
"Sure babe, let's just talk at the park or something. My sis and mama aren't exactly on the best terms." She whispered cringing when she heard her sister yell about not being a baby. Anna shook her head grabbing her coat and sneakers before she followed Kitty out the door and down the front stairs.
They ended up walking to a coffee shop instead of the park, like they'd first intended, both of them needed a pick me up it seemed.
"So what was your idea?" Anna asked after they had finished part of their coffees and were a bit more alert. Kitty was buzzing in her seat and Anna debated on whether she should have given the thirteen-year-old coffee.
"We have got to get Cathy and Anne together or at the very least friends again! I have an idea of how to do that!" Kitty exclaimed and before Anna could speak she continued. "I mean I'm sleep deprived, all I hear all night long is my mum pacing or arguing with Anne. Like there is another person in this house ya know like I am still growing and I'd appreciate it if I could go to bed before three a.m. like you guys are crazy!" She reached for her coffee and Anna slowly pushed it out of her way.
"I think you've had enough kid." She chuckled and Kitty pouted at the loss of her caffeine. "But I'm listening, what's your plan?"
