Hey guys! I live!! Heh sorry guys... I've just had a major case of writers block, and havent really been able to concentrate on this fic with all of the wonderful assignments my teachers have thrown at me. But now i'm back, and hopefully, i'll have this fic done by the new year ::fingers crossed::
Since the two chapters I've written are sorta short, I decided to combine them. So you'll get both the P.O.V. of Clu, and Fi this chapter. Please r/r! I need ideas man!!
Disclaimer: I in no way, shape, or form know anyone afflilated with So Wierd. I'm just a measly little High School student, trying to pass drivers ed here... Dont sue me, I have no money. This fic is entirely my idea, no one elses.
Onto the fic:
~*~ Clu ~*~
" Shit…" I heard Fiona mutter as we got out of the car. " Annie… wow… you weren't kidding when you said it was a big house…" She muttered and I followed her gaze.
" Annie this is amazing!" Kat exclaimed, hugging her friend.
" How much is this costing us?" I asked, looking once again at the enormous white house- mini mansion in front of me. This thing was DEFINIETLY not cheap.. I could tell that much.
" Nothing." Annie shrugged and I gave her a look. " Really! I told my manager that I missed my friends, and I needed to be with them for a few weeks."
" Annie…" Carey laughed, shaking his head.
" Fine, fine. I told my manager I wasn't feeling very 'creative' anymore… and as soon as she heard that, she booked this place, told me to do whatever I needed to do to get myself in my 'spot' again, and here we are."
" Well… at least you thought of us." Peter said, grinning.
" Uh guys… if we haven't already let the entire neighborhood know that we're sheltered little college kids that need lives, I think they're gonna know if we keep starring at the house." Jack grinned, picking up a bag. " I say we go in, gawk at the inside of the house, then pick rooms. Anyone opposed?" He asked, looking at us. " Well then, come on men."
" And women." Fiona put in, sticking her tongue out at her brother. I laughed, seeing Fiona hadn't changed.
" Fine, come on men, and women." Jack grumbled. Shaking my head I picked up my bags, following my friends into the house, where I was greeted with another chorus of ' oh shit…'.
" Ok guys, I say we pick rooms." Annie said, leading the way out of the living room. " First room." She announced, opening the door to a large blue room.
" Awesome..." I said, looking at the large blue room. A desk was on one side of the room, a stereo and TV next to it, on a dresser.
" Dude..." Carey said behind me and I grinned. " Care to flip for it?" He asked. I nodded, grinning more. " Call it."
" Heads." I said as the coin flew in the hair, landing on the floor. Jack stepped on it, then removed his foot. " Hello new room." I laughed, shrugging. " Tough luck Carey."
" Ah, it's ok... I'm sure there's a better room somewhere." Carey announced.
" C'mon people, we've got places to go here!" Fi exclaimed, grinning happily. All of the girls looked like little kids in a candy store, but Fiona seemed the most excited out of the bunch.
After about an hour of coin tosses, rocks paper, scissors, and guess the number, we had all finally chosen our rooms- Jack, Annie, Peter and I on the first floor, Kat, Fi and Carey on the second. Annie, Jack, Fi and Kat had all gotten the balcony rooms, while Carey, Peter and I got the rooms with just large bay windows. Not bad of course- I know a few of my friends who would've killed to have our rooms. So here we were, all gathered in the kitchen, sitting around the table and on stools.
" Anyone hungry?" Fiona asked, looking at us. We all nodded and Annie grinned, taking the phone book out.
" Pizza good?"
" Yep." I said, standing up. " Uh... where are the plates?"
" Good question..." Annie grinned. " Probably one of those cabinets. I doubt there are paper plates, so I guess we'll just have to use the good stuff."
" What a shame." Kat put in, grinning.
" Who wants to pick up the food?" Annie asked, hanging up the phone. " It should be ready in twenty minutes."
" Annie. We don't have a car." Peter put in, shaking his head.
" Oh yes we do." Carey laughed, standing up. He walked to the door next to the kitchen and opened it. " Come boys, look in the garage."
" Oh baby."
" Annie, I know I've said it before, but I love you!!" Jack squealed and I pushed him out of the way to see what he and Peter were squealing about.
" Oh dude." I gasped, looking at the silver Mercedes Benz, just calling for us to drive it.
" I know you do Jack." Annie grinned.
" We all can't fit in there though." Fi pointed out.
" We won't have to… I rented a jeep." Annie explained. " I figure, let the boys have their fun, and we'll drive around like true beach bums." She explained.
" Good thinking." Kat said, shrugging.
" So whose going?" I asked, bringing up the question again.
" Me!" Carey, Peter and Jack all yelled. Kat and Fiona rolled their eyes, and I laughed.
" Fight it out boys." Annie grinned handing Jack the keys.
" What's wrong? Don't feel like driving?" Fiona asked, looking at me. I shook my head, shrugging.
" I'm kind of tired… I'm gonna sleep for a while…"
" Want us to wake you up when the food comes?"
" Nah, just save me a slice, I'll eat when I wake up." I said, shrugging again. I turned, walking out of the kitchen.
" This is a first… Clu turns down food and the chance to drive an expensive car… is he feeling ok?" I heard Annie say.
" He's probably just tired… the flight was at five in the morning… and you know guys… they have to party til early in the morning. I doubt he got to sleep until 2…" Kat explained and I rolled my eyes, shutting my door.
~*~ Fiona ~*~
I strummed on my guitar, playing random chords. I began to play the song I had only figured out a few years ago- my father's song. I took out a pad and began to scribble words down as I strummed the chords, smiling as I looked at the lyrics I already had down. I opened my mouth to sing them, but stopped when I heard someone clearing their throat.
" Hey… tired?" I asked, looking up to see Clu standing in my doorway.
" Nah… not anymore." Clu shrugged, walking into my room. I pushed the guitar case off of the bed, inviting him to sit down next to me.
" So what's been up with you Clu? I haven't really gotten to see you much since we got here." I grinned. I kind of felt bad- Clu and I used to be so close, but ever since I had started going out with Peter, I really didn't have much time for any of my friends. With college, work and trying to be a good girlfriend, I barely had time to fix my site, let alone talk to most of my friends.
" Nothing much at all…" Clu shrugged once again. For such a goofy guy… he shrugs a lot.
" How's Candy?" I asked softly.
" We broke up a while ago Fi." Clu replied, looking around the room. I could tell he still felt bad for that, and I knew my brother and Kat still gave him beef for that. " You two still aren't talking?"
" I haven't had much time for that." I replied, shrugging. Yeah, I haven't had much time to talk to my backstabbing best friend.
" You know, I'm still sorry about that…"
" I know you are… and I don't really blame you Clu. I mean, if you think about it… it wasn't really either of our faults. I didn't really come out and say I still had feelings for you, and well, you clearly didn't share those feelings for me… and well… Candy… Candy has no excuse."
" I still shouldn't have done it Fi."
" Clu, I didn't come here to dwell on the past. What's done is done." I smiled, touching his hand gently. " Really."
" If you say so Fi." Clu looked at me uncertainly, and I smiled.
" I do. Now… what brings you to my nice room? Jealous of the view?" I teased, looking towards my balcony door.
" You guessed it." Clu grinned, standing up. " I'm used to it by now though… you girls always get the good rooms like usual."
" I resent that."
" Oh?"
" Yes. I never got the good-"
" You always roomed with your mom Fi." Clu laughed, looking at me. I shot him a confused look. So what if I always roomed with my mom? That didn't mean I always got the best rooms. " Fi… your mom is Molly Phillips. Hotels pay HER to stay there… of course you always got the good rooms."
" Oh…" I said, getting it. I punched him in the arm, grinning. " Not nice…"
" I only speak the truth."
" Sure ya do." I said, rolling my eyes. " So why did you really come to my room?"
" I was bored." Clu shrugged. " I went around looking to see who was home. Kat, Carey Annie, and Jack went food shopping or something, and Peter's sleeping."
" Oh."
" Wanna go for a walk?" He asked out of the blue, looking at me. I shrugged, placing my guitar back in it's case.
" Just let me write a note to the others." I said, leading the way downstairs to the kitchen. I scribbled a quick note to my brother, grabbed my cell phone, and followed Clu out of the house. " Where to?"
" I donno… let's go explore." Clu grinned at me, his eyes twinkling. I laughed.
" You don't know how long I've waited to hear those words." I grinned. " Jack never wants to explore anything… and it's no fun when I'm all alone looking around."
" Told ya you should've come to college with us."
" But then who would annoy dear old Jack?" I grinned. I looked around the small beach town, then grinned, spotting a coffee shop. " Feel like some coffee? We can catch up a bit."
" Sure." Clu shrugged, opening the door to the shop once we neared it. After we had ordered out coffees we found seats towards the back of the shop, and sat.
" So how's college life Clu?" I asked grinning. " Still doing track?"
" It's good… yeah… I'm still doing it." Clu said, blushing a little.
" And what are we this year? Number one in the world?"
" Still state Fi." Clu said, his face growing redder.
" I don't know why you get so embarrassed Clu… it's a really good accomplishment." I said, smiling. I could tell my best friend hadn't changed that much. He was still that same, insecure teen I had left the summer before- still striving to be as "good as" Carey.
" I just don't like to brag about it."
" If I were you, I'd be bragging all the time." I said grinning. " So what about the love life? You had to have more girlfriends then just Candy."
" One or two."
" That's it?" I asked, trying to disguise the shock in my voice. I still don't get why Clu keeps pushing girls aside. It's not like he can't get any… one look at him and every girl melts… Especially me…
" I just haven't found the right girl yet." He said and I felt my heart beat. Stop it now. He isn't talking about you. He's just… picky.
" I'm sure she's out there somewhere." I swirled my coffee cup around, trying to concentrate on mixing the liquid.
" Yeah… she probably is." Clu trailed off, and I saw his gaze shift to the lid of his coffee, concentrating on it. " So how about you? How's the Peter department?"
" It's good." I grinned, feeling my cheeks redden. " I never thought I'd find a guy so great… he's everything I ever wanted…" I gushed. Where that came from, I don't know…
" Um…" I snapped out of my Peter mode, blushing again when I saw Clu shifting uncomfortably.
" Sorry… forgot the guy code… guys don't like to hear about their friends boyfriends…"
" It's ok." Clu grinned, smiling a little. " If he makes you happy, then I don't mind hearing about it…" I smiled a little, now it was my turn to concentrate on my coffee lid. " He talks about you all the time you know… you really did something to him Fi…"
" He does?" I asked, my voice getting caught in my throat. Now I feel even worse then I did on the plane.
" Yeah… he really likes you Fi."
" I like him too." I lied, shrugging. Sure… make me feel worse Clu.
" Hey, look at the time… we should probably be getting home… knowing your brother he probably sent out the FBI by now…" Clu grinned.
" Why do you say that?" I asked, confused. He reached over to my pocket, taking my phone out of it's case.
" It's turned off." He stated, pressing the on button, then handing it to me. I groaned, seeing the five 'missed call' alerts. " C'mon, we'll power walk."
" Ugh…" I muttered, trying to catch up to Clu. " Damn track!"
Since the two chapters I've written are sorta short, I decided to combine them. So you'll get both the P.O.V. of Clu, and Fi this chapter. Please r/r! I need ideas man!!
