Library [Thursday, January 15, 2009]

Claudia's wardrobe, always...creative...was getting even more so as important pieces (like all of her shirts) disappeared.

Today she was wearing a pink bustier under a white button-up cardigan sweater, black stirrup leggings and bright blue cowboy boots with flowers tooled into the sides of them. Her hair was pulled up into a complicated bun, dangly butterfly earrings hung from her ears, and her old friend the snake bracelet was around her left wrist. On anyone else it would look like a serious cry for laundry day. On Claudia, it looked great.

And she'd probably wear it again even if her shirts came back.

She was sitting down and flipping through Entertainment Weekly, offering unsolicited advice to the stars for their choices of dresses for the Golden Globes.

First period [1/15]

Claudia thought that Renee Zellweger should've left the "nude on top" look (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090111/Golden-Globes-Fashion/Renee-Zelwegger_l.jpg) to people who could pull it off.

Like strippers.

Second period [1/15]

Claudia couldn't wait to find some fabric and see if she could recreate Maggie Gylenhaal (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090111/Golden-Globes-Fashion/Maggie-Gylenhaal_l.jpg)'s look. Maybe for the next dance?

Harper had been saving her racing outfit for a special occasion. She hadn't expected it to be a laundry issue. Either way, she headed over the library before class wearing a red vinyl dress with checkered flags, a track running down her torso (with a little tiny race car glued into place), and a personalized license plate with "HARPER" on it.

"Omigod, I love your shirt!" Claudia squealed.

"Oh, thank you," said Harper with a big grin. "I like your boots. They're very pretty."

Re: Second period [1/15]

Claudia beamed. "They're some of my favorites," she admitted. "Can I help you find something?"

"I just need to find the Shakespeare section," said Harper. "I'm going to be doing costumes for the play, so I should probably read the play first. It's something like Harry V."

"Oooh, like the English prince?" Claudia said, looking on the desk for a sheet about the Dewey Donut system or whatever the hot old guy had called it.

Please, like she listened when her mom talked about work.

"Yeah, but I think this one was a king. Guess he managed to get his older brother out of the way," said Harper. "He wasn't as cute in the movie, though."

Re: Second period [1/15]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"The older brother?" Claudia asked, trying to pretend like she totally knew what was going on.

Re: Second period [1/15]

"Either that, or Prince William wasn't in that story," suggested Harper.

Third period [1/15]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

While Claudia loved the colors (it reminded her of the curtains in her mom's living room), Jenna's dress (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090111/Golden-Globes-Fashion/Jenna-Fisher_l.jpg), well, reminded her of the curtains in her mom's living room.

...Maybe she could have the curtains?

Fouth period [1/15]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Claudia loved, loved, loved (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090111/Golden-Globes-Fashion/Marisa-Tomei_l.jpg) what Marisa Tomei wore. Yay, pirates!

After his class, Lee decided to make a stop in the library to check out the girl who'd said hell to him on Sunday. He didn't have anything else to do. It wasn't like he could do laundry.

He was down to one pair of pants and the short sleeved t-shirt he was wearing. He just had to ignore the cold.

He pushed opened the door, got in out of the cold and wondered when the last time was when he was in the library that wasn't his day or Adah's.

Claudia glanced up from her magazine. "Hi!" she said. "Can I help you?"

Re: Fouth period [1/15]

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Hi, you're Claudia, right?" He was just guessing. Maybe her name was Flipertina or something. He had no idea. "I'm Lee. You said hi to me on the radio so I thought I'd stop in."

Re: Fouth period [1/15]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Yep, I'm Claudia," she said. "Hi, Lee! You were singing songs about bananas, right?"

Re: Fouth period [1/15]

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I don't know what that was about," he said and frowned. "I got into the library and just got the urge to sing. It didn't happen to you?"

Re: Fouth period [1/15]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"No," Claudia said, shaking her head. "I got candy. I'm not about to complain about it."

Re: Fouth period [1/15]

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I wouldn't either," he said dryly. "How's the library treating you so far? No books come alive and talked to you yet?"

Re: Fouth period [1/15]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"No, but there was a weird frog in a common room," Claudia said, still looking wigged out.

Re: Fouth period [1/15]

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

"Weird frog thing?" Lee repeated. "Was it a student who turned into a frog? That sometimes happens."

Lunch!

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Claudia had brought a healthy lunch of Twizzlers, Reese's Cups and Dr. Pepper with her today. Mmm.

Fifth period [1/15]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

It was getting late, but Claudia couldn't see what Cameron Diaz (http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/assets_c/2009/01/84248032-thumb-420x686.jpg) was trying to do with the pink thing she'd worn.
