Two Crazy Girls Hanging Out
Who: Mere and Chloe
When: Wednesday Evening
Where: Chloe's Basement
Chloe was sitting alone at her drum kit, absently flicking the cymbal with the end of one of her sticks, deep in thought. She was in her stupidly huge basement, which the girls generally used to practice in, waiting for Meredith to come over, to work on a few songs together. But as she sat there waiting, her thoughts seemed to be taking over her, as even her triple-shot-latte sat untouched by her feet.
Mere walked down the stairs of Chloe's basement after she was let in. Girl had way too much money to be legal. "So, how are you doing on this glorious night?" She cracked up. "Damn, can't even act like a spooky vampire. I suck."
"Well... yeah. Literally, actually." Chloe retorted, forcing a little smile as she broke herself from her little trance. She twirled her drumsticks a little between her fingers, raising an eyebrow. "You know, the fact that you're way hotter than all of us is bad enough without you tartin' it up in those little... little... outfits..." She said, teasing.
Mere stuck her tongue out at her when she retorted that she literally sucked. She looked down at her leather miniskirt and tube top and looked back up at Chloe. "What's wrong with my outfit? It's not like the cold can bother me anymore." She had a leather maxi coat on earlier, but took it off as soon as she walked inside. It was really for looks, though.
"DUH, Mere!" She was trying to make herself laugh, really, because Chloe hated being bummed out. She much preferred being hyper and perky. "None of us are homely by any means, but you make us look like a bunch of bag-ladies by comparison!"
"I don't make you look like bag ladies!" Mere squealed. "No one can pull that off, you nuts!" She shook her head. She caught a whiff of the sugary coffee sitting near Chloe's feet. "A coffee drink untouched? Something's not right in the force."
"Aw, I just... just haven't gotten around to it yet, yanno?" She gave that typical Chloe-Grin, but it was a little forced. "Now, we gonna jam or what?"
Mere arched an eyebrow. "As long as you're sure nothing's wrong..." She wasn't really buying it, but wasn't going to push it if she really didn't want to talk about it.
"Just stupid crushy stuff. Trust me, nothing worth wasting your time with." She said, meaning that. Like she wanted to burden her friend with stupid crap like that, that EVERY teenager went through. "Besides, the music gotta come first."
"No...actually, my friend's mental health comes first. Music is always second to that." Of course, that could just be her perspective with the whole 'immortality' thing. "You got a crush?"
"Yes, yes, and what girl DOESN'T, right?" She winged a little piece of chocolate at Mere... seemed the girl always had soe laying around.
Mere caught the chocolate and, after unwrapping it, popped it into her mouth. "Sure, but who is yours?"
"No waaaay, girlie. If I told you, I'd be teased mercilessly for years to come." He finally reached down and took a sip of the coffee
"No I wouldn't!" Mere protested. "Ok, maybe I would, but not all that much at all, I promise. Cross my non-beating heart and everything."
"Fine. But you have to swear to me you won't say anything." She gave a glare that would have been menacing if it hadn't looked so damned cute. "If you tell anyone, I will cast a spell on you that will make your vag disappear." Yeah, she knew how to hurt Mere. Forget death... taking away her sex life? Yep, that'd do it.
"You turn me into a barbie doll and I'll turn you into lunch," Mere said with a faux glare, but exactly how fake it truly was could be anyone's guess. "Come on, I promise. Now spill."
"Fine." She was practically whining, hating admitting this. "It's Skylar. And I mean, I like boys. Totally. I've never really even thought about girls much. I mean, a little, yeah, but Skylar? She's like..." the blonde gave a cute little sigh. "perfect."
Mere tilted her head at Chloe for a moment. "Girl, you reach for the unreachable, don't you?" She shook her head. "No offense, but her and Pat are pretty much inseparable." Poor Iris seemed to learn about that the hard way.
"Yeah, I know. S'why I'm never gonna tell her." Chloe nodded sadly. "Even if I thought she WOULD respond, ohmygod... Pat was just great enough to want me in his band! I'd never betray him like that."
"Damn, you in between a rock and fucked, aren't ya?" Mere did always have a way with consoling people. "Have you tried going out and meeting people, and I'm not just talking about the clubs. Good guys don't hang out in clubs. That's why that's all I hang out in."
"Har har har..." Chloe laughed, shaking her head. "You got a gorgeous man, Mere. Don't mess it up, or I might swoop in and grab him." She'd always had a thing for Ben, but was smart enough to know he'd never be interested in... getting to know her, we'll say.
"Like I could mess it up that way. He's the one who tries to bring in the twins," Mere joked, or wasn't joking at all. "Seriously, have you even tried meeting others? Men, women, both?"
"Well, admittedly, I mostly hang out at the mall and at Jolt! when I'm not at the club or practicing." She grinned and perked up suddenly. "By the way, I'm considering plunking down a butt load of money and buying Jolt!."
"You are the last person who needs to buy a coffee shop," Mere said to her. "You'd send yourself into a diabetic coma within a week. Where the hell did you get an idea like that?"
"A nice guy I met at Jolt!, actually. He didn't so much suggest it, but something he said made me think of it. And he's mega-cute. Like whoa." She said with a sage nod.
"See, you meet people. Not sure what I think of him if he's suggesting to you to buy coffee shops. What's he do for a living? He got a name?" Now it was time to be the grilling friend for Mere. a
"Oh Mere..." She laughed, waving her off a bit. "He's older... and gorgeous, but not really my type. We're just friends. He's a bigshot lawyer and everything."
"Well, your type is either way unavailable or not in it for the long term," Mere told her. "And what's wrong with a lawyer? That's like, good and stable, right? Plus...gorgeous? I'm sure that he can be plenty exciting."
"Yeah, but seriously, I like guys more my age. Lindsey's gotta be mid-to-late 20s." Chloe said that like he was 50 or something.
"And you're...what, like, 17? That's so much older." Of course, immortal creature talking here. Not like age ever stopped her before, though.
"Besides... guys like Brandon are more my type." She said with a grin. "He doesn't seem too into me yet... but a girl can try, right?"
"Uh...I think Brandon is with someone." Once again with the unavailability here. Mere shook her head.
"Oh come ON!" She giggled, an evil little glint to it. "You're boning his cousin! You can't put a good word in for me?"
"Well, he's dating a Slayer, I think, so I tend to avoid those types, if you catch my drift." Well, most of the time, anyway. "I think he's seeing the one with the over-colored hair."
"Catherine? Nice girl, but kinda a goody-goody." She shrugged, trying not to be catty. "Well... until I hear they're an exclusive couple, I'll hold out hope. And it can't hurt to look elsewhere... I just don't know where to go. I mean, I'm not stupid or anything, but I'm still not the type to hang out in intellectual places..."
I wouldn't mess with her, but whatever." Mere had a great fear of girls who carried sharp, pointy objects though. For good reason. "Well, you're coffee house doesn't sound that bad, if hot lawyers are just hanging around it. Who knows who else will show up there then."
"I'm more concerned right now with: do I make an offer to buy Jolt!, or open a new place? I mean, Chloe's Sugar Shack has a reallllly nice ring to it." She giggled a little fidgeting as usual.
"Men might think that they are buying something else other than coffee if you name it that," Mere teased.
"So... has Ben been keeping away from Lydia?" Chloe smirked. "I know Skylar's ready to annihilate him."
"Oh my god!" Mere fell leaned backward with a laugh. "You would not believe how freaked out he got. He actually told her to piss off the other night! Ben, telling a cute girl to go away. I'm sure an apocalypse is coming soon. That's totally one of the signs of Armageddon or something."
"You know, only YOU would actually be ok with your boyfriend diddling your friend's sister." The blonde cracked up, shaking her head. "Amazing."
"He thought I was awesome because I asked him to bring in twins." Sometimes being amoral was completely awesome. Of course, sometimes it made people very confusing. "He could either do it behind my back or I can join in and have fun, too. Besides, he doesn't care who I see, either."
Chloe stared at her with an odd combination of disbelief and admiration. "You two... are one hundred percent MADE for each other."
"Pretty much what I'm thinking," Mere said. "Good thing I finally found someone that can handle that side of me." And she could handle that side of him.
