Losers and Roaches
Crunch! She stepped down her foot and squished a cockroach, then took her shoe to the bar to get a free drink. It was the annual fumigation party at The Bronze - and she had deliberately worn old shoes. She wasn't getting squashed bugs on her cutest pairs. The thought made her shudder - roaches! All skinny feet and creepy antlers. It made her wanna puke just thinking about how many of them there must be, scuttling around, if a place like this had to have a yearly blitz of them.
This place was still such a dive - but there was still nowhere else to go in Sunnydale and it was still the only place to be seen. Although, as the year progressed, the losers had started to infiltrate. Before Christmas only the coolest, most popular freshman had hung out here - with all the older kids. But tonight… Xander and Willow and Jesse had put in an appearance.
Honestly, they would let anyone in here.
'Hey Cordelia!' Jesse bounded up to her and draped an arm around her shoulders. She stared down at it, disdainfully - and then shrugged him off, 'excuse you.'
'You want a drink?'
'From you?' She asked, pointedly.
'Well - uh - yeah.'
'Well - uh - no.' She walked off. A cockroach scuttled across the floor and she stepped on it. If only she could crush losers as easily as she could crush bugs.
