"THIS. IS. GOING. TO BE. AWEEEESOOOOMEE!!!"
Yay...
Can't wait.
It'll be over in a bit. We just have to endure.
Sugar overdose again?
I'm starting to think she may be an addicted.
Claire turned to face Piper with a grin.
"First of all: movies! I brought the classics!!"
Chick-flick classics?
You guessed right. Get ready for movies about cheerleaders, pompous weddings, high school drama and couples who love each other but pretend to hate because they're stupid.
How many?
At least three. Bring to the surface your most foolish, romantic, excited and childish side.
You mean my Aphrodite's side.
"TRIIIIIIISH"
Here we go.
Stay strong, soldier!
And you, DON'T YOU DARE TO SLEEP.
I won't, promise. I'll stay awake and we'll bad-mouth all the movies.
***
After forty minutes, Claire paused the movie.
How dare she?
Now that was getting good!
Claire grinned to Piper: "Best. Idea. EVER"
"What, the sleepover party?"
Oh-ho...
What?
I know this smile...
What smile?
"Sure, the sleepover too. But right now, I had the best idea ever!"
"Yes...?"
"Let's play beauty saloon!"
Piper tried to disguise her groan.
She remembers me of my mom, sometimes. We're the only one getting a makeover, right?
Claire is excelent with this kind of stuff. But you won't recognize yourself. Ourselves?
***
"Aaaaaaaand done!"
After tons of make up.
And babyliss. For what seemed like HOURS.
Claire put a mirror in front of her, and Piper tried to look pleased. It wasn't really difficult.
She's actually really good.
Told you.
Like you said, I can't recognize us, but she did a good work.
Yes. Now can we please go back to the movie? Things were getting good!
***
Oooowwwnnnn...
That was sooo beautiful.
I want a date like that.
I want a GUY like that.
I'll admit it. He's handsome.
And HOT. And did you notice his butt?
You have a weird fascination with butts...
Butts are awesome, and I'll make you see that, it's a promise!
It sounded like a threat...
Claire asked: "Another movie?"
"Yes, please"
***
Oh, my god.
I'm crying...
This is heartbreaking!
What kind of bastard write a movie like this? It has been only thirty minutes and I'm already crying!
What is he doing? Oh. Oh. Oh my god!
Great! Now I'm crying even more!
Sure, just rip my heart off my chest and crush it in front of me, why not?
***
"Where is she?"
Who?
How should I know?
"Who is she, Claire?"
"Will, our Willhermina, I invited her to the sleepover"
Whaaaaaat? Why!?
Who is she?
A stupid, disgutingly proud, cheerleader, annoying, traitor...
Got it, you hate her. So why Claire would invite her?
That's what I want to know! Ask her!
"Claire, why did you invite her?"
"Oh, Trish, you should have seen. She was miserable! Vanessa kicked her out from the squad"
She deserved it!
Why do you hate her so bad?
She was our friend, a best friend. When she joined the squad, they already hated me. So, like a'test' to see if she was truly one of them, she told them ALL my secrets. I pretended I didn't know this.
Why?
Revenge of course. I told her,'privately', that I heard Chad liked her but was too shy to ask her out. She spent DAYS throwing herself at him, until he turned her down, in front of the WHOLE school. It was epic!
So, that's why you hate her?
No, I can handle the cheerleaders mocking me because of my secrets. I hate her because she told them Claire's secrets too.
Oh, no, she didn't!
Now you hate her too?
"Oh, she's here!!!"
I don't even know how she looks, but I already hate her. NO ONE messes with Claire. And it's a shame her name is Will.
Why?
I know a Will, but he's a guy, a son of Apollo. And he's amazing, kind and honest.
We chose to be who we are. She chose to be a traitor bitch.
***
"Oh, I know! Karaoke!!!!"
Offer to cook something, quick!
"I think I'll make us some lemonade"
"Oh, okay. WILL, come, sing with me!"
Claire dragged a relutant Will from the couch to stand in front of TV, and gave the blond girl a wide smile.
That was close.
What was that?
Claire only like to sing duets.
Thanks for the warning.
Take all the time in the world to make that lemonade, please!
***
They were watching the new movie about Hercules. It was not a chick-flick, but it was still of one Claire's favorites.
"She's not like it"
Claire turned to Trish, while Will just looked bored out of her mind: "What?"
I told you they chose an ugly actress to portray Aphrodite.
That's not what I'm talking about.
"They are making Aphrodite look like a serious and focused... I don't know, bridesmaid?"
"So... how is she?"
"Aphrodite is a weird and twisted combination between a fangirl and that kind of author who kills all the most loved characthers. And her son is a bully who only makes you feel vulnerable and ashamed from your weak spots about love"
Claire looked lost: "But I thought they're the gods of love?"
"Oh, they are. But Eros shows that love doesn't always bring you happiness, sometimes it hurts you, and makes you miserable. And Aphrodite might be the goddess of love and beauty, but there's love and beauty in the most heartbreaking tragedies. The greeks always loved a tragedy"
That was... disturbing. And I think you may have shocked Claire. She looks traumatized. You know how much she loves the love.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I... studied greek culture, on my own"
"Wow, I'm your best friend and I didn't know that"
"No big, it's actually quite recent"
Will was looking at her like she was a puzzle. Or a really crazy girl.
Stick your tongue at her!
That's so childish!
***
At Will's suggestion, Claire went to the kitchen make more popcorn. Piper was okay with that, until Will grabbed her arm and dragged her from the living room.
What is this?
Why is she dragging us? There's something about her that you didn't tell me?
Oh, my! Maybe she's a lesbian who's in love with me? So that's why she hated me? Because I didn't return the feeling? Save us, knock her out!
When they arrived at the bathroom, Will pulled her inside and locked the door.
Is she going to attack us? Knock her out, quick!
Will took a deep breath and looked Piper right in her eyes.
"I am Will."
Why is she telling us this?
Ok, maybe she's not a lesbian. Maybe she's just stupid. I'm not surprised, there's something wrong with her, and when I find out what is, she's so dead because I'll publish it.
You're mean.
You're the one who wanted to knock all the football team out, don't judge me.
"Yeah, I know"
"No, you don't understand. PIPER, listen to me"
Wait, WHAT?
WHAT?
How does she knows?
I have no idea.
Quick, play dumb.
"My name is Trish."
"No, Piper, listen to me. It's Will. Will Solace, son of Apollo, from CHB. But I'm stuck inside a GIRL!"
OH.
MY.
GODS.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, I KNEW there was something wrong about her! Can we please, pleeeeeease write about it? She is sooooo dead the moment this spread out like wildfire!!!
(A/N: Don't kill me! My friend chose Will's fate, not me! But there's a reason behind it! Just wait and you'll see. *Motheeeeeer, knows best*)
