So, there's this thirty-day writing challenge going around, and I thought I'd try it, and to make Lex (and myself) extremely happy campers, it'll be thirty days of Copper! (Connor/Piper).
I don't own anything recognizable.
O-o-O
day one: beginning
He's not Jason.
That's the first thing that Piper notices about Connor Stoll: he's nothing like Jason.
It's not just looks—Connor's light brown hair and eyes that keep shifting from green to gray to brown are a far cry from Jason's golden locks and angel blue eyes, but that's not it. Connor is a mischief-maker; he can't pass up an opportunity for a prank or a joke, no matter how inappropriate the timing may be. He steals and lies and cheats, and she should hate him for that, but it seems that no one can really hate him because his smile is so sweet, so childish, so deceptively innocent that he can get away with anything.
He certainly doesn't share Jason's lack of self-confidence, either. She really should've slapped him when he introduced himself as "the best thing that's happened to you all day," then proceeded to challenge her to a footrace, which she failed at miserably. But she couldn't, because his goofy grin made her laugh and she was having way too much fun teasing him.
She watches as he tries to juggle apples (stolen from the kitchen, of course) for her entertainment, but for all his bragging he can't juggle to save his life, and one fruit is about to hit his face but she snags it out of the air at the last second. Just because she knows it will annoy him, she looks him in the eye and takes a huge bite. He pouts at her and tries to take it back, but she says, "Oh, no, Stoll; you're going to have to do way better than that."
"I will!" he says, and chases her across camp, finally tackling her ("That's not how you treat a lady!" she screeches) and snatching the fruit back.
No, she decides as she pummels his chest and demands that he gets off right now, Connor's certainly nothing like Jason.
Maybe that's not a bad thing.
O-o-O
…why is that written in present tense? Weird. I never do that.
Fair warning, I'm a horrible procrastinator, so if (when) I miss a day I need you all to review or PM me and yell at me to get my lazy butt into gear, kay? Kay.
