One of the Most Disgusting Drinks Known to Man Was Created Here...
Who: Karissa and Naomi
Where: Avarice
When: Aug. 18th, Evening
"Come onnnnnnn!" Karissa whined, bouncing up and down cutely, like curvy, busty five-year-old, "I don't caaaaare if it sounds gross, CJ, just maaaaake it!" Dear lord. The blonde drummer was leaning on the bar at Avarice, waiting for CJ to make the drink Karissa had created and grown to love: Mountain Dew mixed... with coffee. UGH. She wore a black miniskirt and a tight green tee shirt that showed off every one of her curves.
Naomi had heard Karissa describe the drink in question, and was pretty sure that this girl was insane. "You can't seriously want to drink that," she couldn't help but say to her. "Seriously, Mountain Dew and coffee?"
Rissa just turned and crossed her arms petulantly, nodding emphatically. "It's AWESOME once you get used to it. And it keeps you going ALL DAY." Because clearly, Karissa, like Chloe and Lucy, NEEDED more energy. "Granted, it doesn't taste too keen, but it does it's job."
"What on earth are you doing that you need to be up that much?" Naomi asked her. Unless this girl was doing something illegal, there was no need to be up so bad that you needed to drink THAT.
"I just like the jolt it gives me..." She said, fidgeting in a very Chloe/Lucy-like way. Besides, at least I stopped having the espresso beans on the side with it. That REALLY revved me up." Oh gawd. She was being serious. Can you seriously IMAGINE Buffy and Kevin having to deal with this girl???
Naomi sort of tilted her head at the girl. Well, she was SUPPOSED to talk to more people, right? Even if they were caffeine junkies. She remembered the girl vaguely from school last year (her looks DID stand out), so at least it was someone she knew that she'd see again. "Good that you stopped with the espresso beans."
"Yeah. I don't wanna get too hyper or anything, right? HEE!" She giggled, eyes wide. Dear lord. "You go to Reagan High, dontcha? I'm Karissa. Karissa Starr."
Naomi nodded, offering the girl her hand. "Naomi Bettingfield," she said to her. "Soon to be junior and so not looking forward to another year at Regan High."
"I'm 'bout to be a senior, but I just transferred last year. So I'm kinda nervous too." She reached into her purse and pulled out a chocolate (come on, she WAS a Van Warren girl). "Want one? They're nummy."
"Sure," she said about the offer of chocolate. Who was going to turn down chocolate? This had been the downfall of many a children looking at non-descript vans for years. "Sorry you had to transfer there. It's mostly full of jerks, unfortunately."
"Well, considering that one of my best friends is ALSO one of the huge jerks that graduated last year, I kinda know what ya mean." She grumbled, kind of wondering WHY she still hung out with Brayden, other than being in the band with him. Oh duh. Cos he's HOT.
"Sounds like you've got one heck of a friend there," Naomi commented. Well, she didn't usually run around calling her friends jerks. OK, so she only had one friend, but she definitely didn't call her friend Feebz a jerk.
"Yeah. He's... ok, so he's just a good band mate and he's sexy." She admitted. "Last year, you remember Brayden Bale?" She asked.
"Yeah, seemed kind of like a douche bag to me," Naomi said, which was, like, the worst word that she knew. If she knew that she crushed on what was actually his father, she might just die.
"He's SOOOO gorgeous. But yeah. Kind of a jerk." Hey, she was getting there, ok? A few months earlier she wouldn't have even admitted THAT much.
"Well, those Bale family genes worked well on him," Naomi said with a slight shrug. "Still, there's charm and smarm, and he definitely got the wrong one."
"YOU, my girl, are faaaaaar smarter than me." She said with an emphatic nod. "I let him charm me for faaaaar too long. Still though... it *was* fun..." She admitted with a sheepish blush. "BUT ANYWAY. Want somethin' to drink? I'm buyin'!"
Naomi nodded. "I'll take a coke, actually." She had just been sipping at water in an effort to save a little of her allowance. "And you seem plenty smart. Guys can be charming, apparently. None have turned said charm on me, ever, but I've seen it on TV and in movies."
"Ohmygod. They haven't? You're WAY cute!" Rissa blurted out, not really trying to flirt, just finding the little thing far too attractive for that to be true. "Like... you're seriously HOT, girl."
"Well, please spread that rumor around to your friends and others, because no one else has noticed yet," Naomi pointed out to her. Maybe it was because she didn't talk all that much at school. Who knew?
"Just hang out with me!" Rissa squeaked, that adorably hyper grin beaming again. "I don' really TRY, but EVERYONE notices me! If yer with me, well..."
"Sure," she said. Of course everyone would notice Karissa because of how gorgeous she was. Naomi felt downright PLAIN next to her.
Oh god. Karissa actually HOPPED UP AND DOWN then, clapping her hands a few times. "Yaaaay! I LOVE making new friends." Gee. Think she'd had a few of those coffee/Dew mixes already?
Oh goodness, what DID Naomi get herself into? "Me, too. Now I can up my friend count to two," she said with a slight grin.
"Just don't be weirded out by some of my friends. A few of them are.... kinda strange." Come on... how ELSE was she going to say it? 'oh hey, I hang out with werewolves, slayers, and witches'?
Well, considering this girl was apparently a Slayer herself, she couldn't say too much, could she? She thought that she was a mutant poisoned by bad LA water, after all. "There's not much that can weird me out at this point." If only she knew, right?
