Glitching to Fix Time {Poor Execution, Rewrite occurring in diff book}

Ch 10: Bachelorette Night

"Hey, baby. You look like you could use a little pick me up." He waved a vial of some glowing blue substance at her.

"I don't do drugs." Clarity shook her head. "And I didn't bring any cash so," Clarity shrugged hugging herself tighter. "Can't pay."

"Baby, baby, don't be like that." The guy protested. "There are others ways we can work out a deal."

"I don't do any favors either. So looks like I can't help you." Clarity replied, hoping a fight would break out soon so she could glitch away. "Go find someone else who's interested in that pleasure poison, I'm not."

"It's not about you helping me, it's about me helping you. Your a nice lookin girl. I'm sure you got friends. Bring em round next time your here. Free sample, on the house. Guaranteed to lift your spirits all night long." He stuck one of the vials right down the front of her dress and walked away.

"Ugh..." Clarity pulled the vial out of her bra with a disgusted look. She was about to throw it away. It was blue, and glowed like she did.
When she contemplated the dealers words. Lift her spirits. She'd been a let down all night. Her outburst at dinner, all of her friends being concerned for her instead of excited about the nights festivities. Killer Frost even said she was depressing. Clarity couldn't help it, everything in her life she felt like it was all going wrong. Her powers were ruining everything, or at least she was ruining everything with them. She was, She was ruining everything she touched. That date with Sara she'd waited, they'd both waited and it all went down in flames. Maybe it was good it stopped when it did. Sara hadn't seen her glow. She probably would have thought it was freaky too like Tyler did. With Darhk back among the living Sara had to hate her for that, she said she didn't, but Clarity was doing such a good job of it herself the glitch thought she didn't have to. Why waste her energy when she was already doing such a good job hating herself?

Clarity sunk to sit on the floor unscrewing the vial cap. She was really doing Delancy's job for her these days wasn't she? How many times in high school, in middle school, in grade school, had the bully told her she was a freak? That she was a glitch? That she was a constant let down to everyone in her life? Clarity rubbed at her eyes. Over ten years later, Clarity still had her words rattling around in her head. How could she not? She said them so often they might as well be ingrained in her brain. More than that, right now Clarity couldn't help but feel how right the blonde was. She'd had her pegged since day one. She was a glitch, and that was all she was ever gonna be. Tyler saw her like that, it was only a matter of time before all her friends did too, if she kept letting them down, if she kept being such a mistake, if she kept getting in the way of them being happy, of them dealing with their own problems, if everything going wrong was her fault how horrible of a person was she? She was supposed to be helping Caitlin. She was supposed to be watching after Jonas. She was supposed to be helping Iris celebrate her upcoming nuptials, she was supposed to be doing all these things and more but how could she when she was in no mood to do any of that?

She downed the vials contents. No more let downs. Time to get happy. The effects were instant, a blue glow tinged her skin as the drug took effect. A laugh escaped her as a euphoric feeling rushed through her. Why was she here again? What did she have to do? Mm. Caitlin went somewhere, now she was waiting...Right. Bachelorette party. And there were the other party goers.

"All right, do you think they're gonna be able to tell that we don't exactly fit in here?" Felicity wondered.

"Well, it was your idea to wear boas," Iris gestured to herself. "so no."
