White: King’s Bishop’s pawn f2>f3

The jean-clad hips of the redheaded Canadian student, Katherine Laurent, sway with confidence as she struts through her campus’ commons. She has pride in her figure, despite the reputation of gingers, especially from the frigid North, of being pale and sickly, she could scarcely look healthier. Her shapely bottom, which is immaculately hugged by her tight jeans, is the envy of most of her peers. It is complimented by her narrow waist is exposed along with her midriff by the long-sleeved off-shoulder crop top that she wears, which shows the world that she is not wearing a bra. The only way she comes short of having what would generally be considered an ideal figure is that her breasts are modestly-sized, most people would consider them to be medium, but the are on the small end of it. The modest size did endow her breasts with a sense of perkiness, though. Her bright smile and her pale green eyes have a disarming quality that makes even those who would be ordinarily inclined to envy the beautiful Canadian grow to like her.

Katherine hears the beginning notes of her ringtone, a familiar classic hit from EZ MidKnight that she listens to almost every time she works out, start playing and instinctively reaches into her back pocket. She sees that her cellphone is ringing with a number identified as being the **** Caribbean Travel Agency, and fearing that some disruption to her travel plans was at stake, she answered it immediately, rather than letting the tune play out as would be her ordinary inclination.

“Hello?” she asked in a composed voice that did well to cover the dread she was feeling.

“Hello, is this Katherine Laurent?” asked the voice on the other line.

“It is.”

“Ms. Lauruent, this is Ramon from **** Caribbean calling. I believe a friend of yours booked a vacation package for you with us.”

“That’s right…” Katherine answered, with an air of suspicion in her voice. She had no personal dealings with Ramon or with anyone from his office, so it struck her as strange that they would reach out to her instead of going through Emma. “I think it was to… Santolina?” she said, remembering that prior to the arrangements being made, she never heard of the island.

“I’m pleased to let you know that we have a special promotion going where we enter every recipient of a vacation package with us into a raffle for a special opportunity to get a premium vacation experience. You just so happened to win our drawing. If you’d be willing to stop by our office, I’d be delighted to fill you in on the particulars.”

“I don’t know. I’m going with a group of my friends and I don’t want anything that’ll separate me from them.”

“Are you sure? Because not only are the accommodations you would be getting the VIP treatment, but you would be able to enjoy them along with the celebrity guests that are coming to visit our humble little slice of the Caribbean. If you find that the accommodations aren’t to your liking, we can hold open your reservation with your group and let you downgrade whenever you want.”

“Celebrity guests?” Katherine asked excitedly.

“Oh yes, miss. We got a number of celebrities who have booked vacations with us who you’ll be able to meet, if you decide to accept this upgrade. I’m not supposed to mention this, but none other than Brittany Jennings booked a stay with us that should be overlapping with your trip. We’ll also have EZ MidKnight…” Ramon said, as he began listing celebrities that Katherine didn’t recognize. Katherine zoned out once she heard EZ MidKnight’s name dropped, though Jennings was exciting to her, she had fantasies about meeting her favorite rapper for years. The chance to finally do so overwhelmed both her healthy skepticism of Ramon and her loyalty to her friends. “If you’re sure we can just pass along that opportunity to the next raffle winner…” Ramon concluded, confident from the silence on the other end that he had tempted the Canadian.

“Alright, I want the upgrade.”

“Come to my office this afternoon and we’ll have you sign the documents to make it happen.” Ramon said. “Believe me, you won’t regret it.”

Katherine resolved to do whatever it takes to meet up with her idol.
