Me, You and My Medication.
A bit of a new thing, trying it out to see where it goes... Title credit to Boys Like Girls. And of course, I own nothing but the OC.
Chapter One: Clarissa
I can't put my finger on it.
There's just something there that she has, that every single one of the other girls just doesn't. She's unique, she's real. Not like most of the other diva's that roamed these halls and act as if they were completely better than everyone.
This girl, she has this childish side to her, one that makes her glow; the way she incorporates Hello Kitty jewelry into her outfits or how she always carries a bag of Skittles with her wherever she goes. I don't know, for someone who was twenty-five, she had the personality of an eighteen year old.
And although, I would probably think her appearance or personality should annoy me, it doesn't. There's just some type of allure there that makes her so attractive to me. For lack of a more descriptive phrase, she fascinates me.
She's been working behind the scenes as an on-screen interviewer and any chances I get, I converse with her. We talk about upcoming events and storylines; she always has something new and exciting worth telling. The way she flashed her pearly white teeth when she smiles brightens up any day, despite whether it's going well or not, she seems to have a way of making it twenty times better.
As I make my way into the dining room for breakfast, I wasn't looking for her, but she was there; Cody sitting right next to her. "I'm actually excited for tonight's show, being able to participate in the Diva dance off with a few of the other girls," I hear her say, even though at that very moment she was dressed in purple Tinkerbell pajama pants and a plain black t-shirt.
"Teddy, finally, you're awake!" her voice rings in my head; I didn't know whether to smile or cringe when it came to the nickname she placed upon me.
"What're you guys up to?"
"I was telling Cody-bear about tonight's Diva Dance off," she smiles toward me, "We've been waiting for you for a half hour, where have you been?"
"Late night,"
She giggles, "What've I told you about them late party nights?" she jokes around as she chucks a few of her Skittles at me.
Her attempts to hurt me with hard candy was silly though, I caught a few popped them right into my mouth. "Jeez, Clarissa, what've I told you about beating people with small, round sweets?"
"You've said nothing of the sort!" she elatedly exclaims, "Cody can so back me up on this!" Her head turns to him, "Right Codes?"
He puts his hands up as he pulls his chair back, "This is between the two of you,"
Clarissa's expression changed from a smile to a slight frown, "You are so cruel, Cody-bear," she picked up her bag of Skittles from the table, "You're supposed to be on my team!" Clarissa stuck out her tongue to him.
"I am on a team, I have Legacy," he teases her, "Whatcha think about that?"
The two of them made me laugh; they were always the most comical of the three of us. "You know what?" she couldn't keep a straight face, no matter how hard she tried to. She had paused trying to figure out how exactly she'd get Cody back for not agreeing with her. "Your last tator tot is now mine!" she grabs it off his tray, laughing manically.
Cody looks from his empty tray up to our pink haired companion. "You are an evil, evil little girl." Rhodes knew as well as I did, that Clarissa was far from evil, she was the complete opposite, if anything.
"Oh Cody-doodles, that's the nicest thing you have ever said to me," she smiles sweetly before taking the tator tot and shoving it in her mouth.
"You guys are just too much."
Rhodes and looks from Clarissa, to me and then back to her, "Do you see this, he says we're too much; meanwhile he's the one we waited a half hour for,"
Clarissa rolled her eyes to me, "Yeah, I know, can you believe it? How rude" she replies.
I smirk at them, "I'm rude? It takes you like a half hour to get ready in the morning, I'm late once and you have your PJ's in a bunch?" I was sarcastic, but I don't know if she caught it.
Her facial expression changes from a smile to a sly grin. "You've just reminded me that I need to go and get ready for my photo shoot. Words just wouldn't burst out of me, I couldn't tell if she was angry at me or if she was playing around. "Camera's are calling me!" she smiles with a light chuckle. A slight breath escapes me, she sounds like she wasn't mad by my remark, or at least I hope she isn't. I'd have to catch up with her later and see how'd she's doing, just to make sure.
As she turned and began walking toward the dinning entrance, I called back at her. "Have fun with that, Clarry-boo," She looks over her shoulder and sends a wave my way, then disappears from the room.
I still can't put my finger on it…
