It was a terribly hard thing to say goodbye to her boyfriend, especially since this was their first extended separation. Katie had been dating Nick for 5 months now, but as she quickly learned, a relationship in college can bring you incredibly close in a short amount of time. Katie was 19 now and returning home for Christmas break of her sophomore year. After one final kiss, she boarded the plane and off she went. Upon arriving home, Katie was greeted excitedly by her younger sister, Emily.
"Kat, welcome home!" Emily was a year and a half younger than her sister, and at 18 was a senior in high school. The sisters looked very alike, though Katie was always a little jealous of her younger sibling's C-cup breasts. Both were soccer players though, each with athletic legs, gorgeous sandy hair, and a perfectly curved ass that always drew some male attention. These similarities and their closeness in age had created an immensely competitive relationship between the sisters throughout high school. Katie gave Emily a hug as she put her bags down.
"Guess what? Mom's gone for the next three days!" This wasn't a surprise to Katie. Their mother typically took trips with this boyfriend or that one, and happily prioritized her destructive relationships over her own children. "Will and I are throwing a party tomorrow night, you should totally come," the younger sister said. Will was Emily's twin brother, and while Katie wasn't crazy about her little siblings and their friends drinking in their house, she knew she was no better at that age.
"Well, I do live here after all," she replied.
The following night about a dozen people had arrived at the house. Will had three of his high school buddies over, and Emily had a group of seniors, both boys and girls, in attendance. Katie figured she'd at least invite her best friend Haley and Haley's boyfriend Sean over, but decided not to invite the rest of her friends. Partially because she knew it'd be a mostly high school party, but also she knew inviting her group of friends meant Pat might show up. While Pat was an old friend, it was no secret that he had always had a thing for Katie. The two had often flirted, and while Pat made a move here and there Katie never gave in, not wanting to spoil their friendship despite the obvious physical attraction. While she still wanted to remain friends, she knew Nick wouldn't approve much of the two of them drinking together as soon as she got home.
The night began in typical fashion: lots of beer pong, flip cup, and Kings to get the drinks flowing. After a couple of hours everyone seemed to have a good buzz going and, as usual, Emily challenged her big sister to a game of beer pong.
"Let's see if college gave you enough skills to beat your little sis!" While Katie felt she was maturing at college, she still couldn't turn down a challenge from her sister; after all their combativeness over the years it simply got her blood boiling too much.
"You're on." The two set up the game, ten cups on each side, and began tossing. Katie hit the first two cups quickly.
"Don't get cocky," Emily called out before hitting the middle cup. Katie chugged the beer and hit another shot, but she could feel herself getting a bit drunk.
Right on cue, Haley and her boyfriend Sean showed up with tequila shots. Sean handed one to Katie and toasted her - "to Katie returning from college!" She knew she couldn't turn that down, so she took the shot with her old friends. Before she could finish, Emily bounced the ping-pong ball and landed in Katie's cup.
"That's two cups for the bounce, drink up Kat!" Katie complained that she cheated, but Emily knew the rules.
"No excuse for no defense, get drinking! And it's still my shot too," Emily said smugly. Katie sighed, annoyed, and began drinking. She got through one and a half before pausing to finish. Emily took advantage of the hesitation, and fired the ball right into the cup her sister was drinking out of. "Game over!" she yelled out.
"Wait, that's bullshit," Katie replied.
"Rules are rules, if you hit the same cup twice in this house that's the end." Katie began complaining but even her friends were against her.
"Sorry Kat," Haley said, "that's how you've always played here."
"Looks like you've got a lot of beer to drink," said Sean.
"Thanks a lot guys," Katie said and she began picking up one cup after another.
As Katie continued drinking, her sister couldn't help but taunt. "Big college girl comes home and just can't handle the heat, beaten by her little sis! Guess they're not teaching you anything over there." The more Katie drank, the more Emily got under her nerves. "Drink up sis, at least now we know who's best."
"You know you cheated, you can't beat me in a fair matchup."
"Oh is that so? Because we just played by the rules and I won, so I guess that's that."
"Fine, let's rematch then."
"No, I think I'm good, I wouldn't want to make you keep drinking so much when you lose again."
As everyone listened to the sisters taunt each other, Katie began to get really fed up. "So you're scared to play me again? Typical you, same little brat you always were." Katie wasn't trying to be mean, but the alcohol was getting her fired up. Of course, Emily did not like being insulted in front of all her friends. She wanted revenge.
