THE MANUSCRIPT- STEVE HARRINGTON
Katrina knew many things. She knew her favourite song, her favourite artist. She knew the path that led to her house. What store to get the best deals in. She knew her hometown. So when her father's shit box of a car drove down an unfamiliar Hawkins sign she knew that she did not know this place.
The road trip to Hawkins, Indiana had been extremely long and exhausting, between her father arguing with her about how she couldn't fuck up this place and that she needed to be normal for once she knew one thing was for sure Katrina hated, loathed, her father.
Her mother had died when she was 10, she'd passed away that's all she'd been told. Her father wouldn't discuss the details leaving kat to her imagination that her mother had INFACT not died but rather was out living her dreams. Katrina would much rather that she was out living, having escaped her father's cold and bitter personality than having her only liberty be death. Kats father hiding the truth only reinforced his controlling character, unfortunately one she was used to. And ultimately one she was stuck with.
"Kitty Kat." Her fathers nickname called, while most children would have favoured a bonded nickname to their parent, Katrina despised hers. she knew the only purpose of it was to be condescending. "Yes dad" she replied rather quickly used to her father's pestering. "When we get to the new house, I need to warn you of something" Katrina felt her brows scrunching in confusion. "Warn me of what?" She could only reply.
"Alice is meeting us there, we've decided to become serious and we both agreed this move would be a great start to do so."
Alice mossrow, my dad's 'girlfriend'. A woman whose age could easily be passed as an older sister of Katrina rather than a step mother. The woman who constantly tried to encourage Katrina to change things about herself. 'What a pitty your hairs brown. You would look so much better as a blonde' 'really, you're going to eat that? Explains alot' 'you should smile more, might help you get a boyfriend little miss loner'
Katrina like her father also despised his girlfriend, they were two peas in a pod when it came to bullying her. They would often make her feel isolated and uncomfortable. But ultimately they did it because she deserved it. She could do a lot more than she does. She is like her father reminds her 'utterly useless'.
"That's fine" it was not fine. Katrina did not want to see let alone live with the two. "Just fine?" Her dad asked the shift in atmosphere moving to one a little more intense then she would have preferred. "Have a little more excitement, such a bitch just like your mother was" Katrina decided in that moment arguing with her father would be like brining a knife to a gunfight. Absolutely fucking useless. So in response she decided to stare out the window and take in her new 'home'.
House after house. Kids on bikes, she almost caught herself smiling at a group of five kids biking. Jesus that kid needs a haircut, she thought as the car passed a kid with the curliest hair and toothiest grin she'd seen. But she felt compelled to try here. To be normal and to fit in. She just hoped she could successfully achieve that.
As the car pulled into the driveway of her new house, she saw the red Toyota already parked outside, Alice, she thought. "You getting out the car or what? This shit won't move itself kitty kat" her father broke the silence clearly unbothered by the insult he directed at her earlier. "Coming" she replied as she opened the passenger door and began to really allow her senses to take in her surroundings.
"KENNY" Katrina looked up. Alice had come outside holding what appeared to be a large champagne bottle with two flute glasses accompanying it. "You finally made it baby. I got us a lil something to celebrate"
Katrina watched as her father graced the woman with a hug and more comfort then she had received from him in the past seventeen years. "Oh Kathy baby" she gazed up at the woman sighing in annoyance at the woman. "It's Katrina Alice" she spoke as she tried to laugh it off. Alice just rolled her eyes and turned from the girl back to her father. "Let's get this party started" she squealed in excitement.
"Yeah, lets" Katrina whispered to herself before beginning to grab the first box of her 'junk' from the car boot.
