Karyn didn't feel like going upstairs, so she found herself joining her older siblings at the computer. Jake was turned away from the monitor as Rachel made her "this is really important" face.
"They're not on the camera anymore! Max deleted the whole SD card, and I need to send them tonight so that Dahlia can put them in her scrapbook before her cousin flies back home."
Karyn could already see that the two of them had blond hair now, just like she did. Their hair was otherwise just as it had always been: Jake's, having needed a haircut for at least a few months now, just covered his ears, and Rachel's was tied into a thick braid that reached between her shoulder blades. But now the rich shades of copper brown that she knew had faded into a relatively dull yellow.
"I didn't get anything done on that stupid caravan trip, and if I don't finish going through these survey numbers tonight I'm never going to finish this stupid project, so get off my back."
Well, that hadn't changed: Jake had been complaining about this class through the entire vacation. Maybe the only changes were superficial?
"Hey," Karyn approached the two with a grin, "can I use the computer really quick?"
"Oh great," Jake stood up from his chair, gesturing at Karyn in frustration, " another one! I can't deal with both of you at once, just don't touch my program."
With that, Jake quickly took out his frustrations on the "control" and "s" keys, then loudly made his way up the stairs.
Rachel smiled at her younger sister. "You don't really need the computer do you."
Karyn smirked back, "well, there were some pictures from Atlanta that I kinda wanted to see."
Rachel let out a percussionist laugh as she sat down and began navigating folders. She finally got to one marked "Senior Trip," and opened it, showing Karyn something she never thought she'd see...
