[Ginny]

The nice thing about being kind of self absorbed was that Kate didn't really think about the shit she did affecting people negatively.

She was sure it happened -- hell, she'd tried to burn down the bookshelf -- and she was sure there was at least one person on the island who didn't like her much, but the other nice thing about being self absorbed

Ginny wasn't about to say that it was easy having Harry about and dating someone else, but she was living with it. In fact, it sort of sucked, but there was no use in complaining. If he had broken up for Kate the moment she had arrived, Ginny would have shouted at him. She might still have feelings for him, but they hadn't been a thing since he had gone off to do the stupid, noble thing. A lot had changed. She had changed.

There was a look of mild confusion on her face when Kate stopped her. It was quickly explained away when she realized that Kate had been confused. She wasn't going to call the other girl on it, but rather smiled. "Hey Kate. What's up?

"Not a whole lot," Kate said, then wrinkled her nose, because it was pretty obvious to basically everyone -- or just the two of them, same thing -- that she'd thought Ginny was someone else. They could be awkward about it, which Kate knew some people preferred, or they could just acknowledge it. Which was generally the sort of thing she preferred.

"Yeah, so I totally thought you were Wichita for a second," she admitted, then grinned. "Sorry, I feel like a total ass. So, I'll just own up to that and we can get rid of that weirdness and carry on." Now that she was standing here, actually talking to Ginny, she figured maybe it wouldn't be so hard.

Personally Ginny was more than a little grateful that Kate got that particular bit of awkwardness out of the way. It had been plain to both of them that some sort of mistake had occurred. Pretending it hadn't been that way wasn't going to make that awkwardness go away. Actually it was quite likely to make it worse and frankly Ginny was certain there was enough room for awkward without that.

"Ah yeah, I thought so," she admitted with a nod and a wry smile. "Glad you said something otherwise I was going to have to ask and that would have been even weirder." Not that it didn't already have the potential to be painful. Ginny was bound and determined to try to make it less so. "The not-twin thing is a bit complicated unfortunately."

"Yeah, I'm pretty glad there's no one here who looks like me," Kate admitted. "Although there was this guy here who thought I was some weird rocker chick from his world named Envy. So that's a little creepy, knowing she's out there somewhere." It sort of added to the whole fictional thing, which Kate tried not to think about very often. She didn't have any proof of it herself, but between the not-twins and the fact that some of her best friends were fictional in her world, she sort of figured she wasn't going to be the exception to the rule.

"Besides, Envy. I mean, seriously, she couldn't come up with a better stage name than that?" she asked, smirking faintly.
