Yeah, another short, short story by Mandi Christelle. I'm kind of tense these days, so one-shots are all that my brain can really handle.

Dedicated to the dearest Julie. What I would give to say hi to you in the hallway again.
Story Notes: Written while listening to random "Glee" tunes. Inspired by a crème brulee latte I had last week.
If We Were Coffee
If Tawni Hart was a cup of coffee, she'd be a LATTE. Foamy, delicious, light. The guys in the room are salivating already. Look a little further, though. Peel back the foam and you see the unsavory flatness that lies beneath the tantalizingly yummy top. Beneath Tawni's flawless exterior, pretty blonde waves and chime-like laugh included, was an empty, hollow shell. Just a nameless Hollywood face.
If Chad Dylan Cooper was a cup of coffee, he'd be ESPRESSO. Strong, prominent, bold. Like the coffee, her was arrogant, thought that he was better than everyone else. Espresso had a particularly dominant flavor that covered up any subtle, weak notes lying beneath. People still loved him, though. Hence the double shot.
If Grady Mitchell was a cup of coffee, he would be INSTANT. Yummy, but painfully mediocre. People expected things out of instant coffee that they just didn't get. Instant coffee is fine, really. Nothing is particularly wrong with it, nor can it be criticized (it only takes 30 seconds to make, after all). It's just not…sophisticated. Just like Grady.
If Zora Lancaster was a cup of coffee, she'd be a BASIL LATTE (AN: haha, WOWP reference). Different, exciting, exotic. Zora hid in vents and slept in a casket meant for thousand-year old Egyptian pharaohs- what do you expect? Weird, sure, but many found her to be pleasantly quirky. Similarly to the beverage, it took a strong constitution to handle Zora Lancaster.
If Sonny Munroe was a cup of coffee, she would be BLACK. I know what you're thinking. How can Sonny Munroe, sweet girl extraordinaire, be something as plain as black coffee? In all honesty, Miss Munroe was pretty plain. Wavy black hair, brown eyes, unastonishing (AN: yeah, I made that word up) features, and a pretty smile. Eh. Nothing special. One thing that is interesting about Sonny is that everyone likes her. Who doesn't like a nice strong cup of black coffee? This girl is headed in the way of the little black dress and pumps. Everyone needs one.
Ah. That felt nice to write. Please review!
