The Library [Thursday, January 29]

Claudia, in celebration of the lights being back on in the library, was wearing one of her brightest outfits: pink (pinkpinkpinkpink) tights under a green plaid miniskirt, a turquoise button-down shirt over a tan cropped tank top. Her boots were shiny and black, and her hair was tucked up under a bright orange beret. On anyone else, the outfit would make the baby Jesus cry. On Claudia, it looked great.

She dropped three bags of Twizzlers onto the top of the counter before settling down with a fashion magazine.

It's never too early for Twizzlers!

She might even share if you ask!

Especially if you're a cute boy!

Sookie was not a cute boy, but she was a little restless after her class, and so she wandered into the library, because she hadn't been there yet and she'd pretty much exhausted her book supply from home.

"Hi, Claudia!" she said when she spotted who was there. And her outfit.

That was a look.

"Hi, Sookie!" Claudia replied with a smile, holding out the bag of Twizzlers. "Want a snack?"

"Do you always have candy?" Sookie asked curiously, taking a Twizzler.

"Pretty much," Claudia said. "My parents didn't allow me to have it, so I hid it around my room for years."

"And they never found out?" she asked, honestly surprised. She couldn't imagine hiding something like that from her grandmother for very long. Jason managed it, though. Except more with drugs and girls and less with candy.

"I was pretty good," Claudia said with a grin. "I had a hollowed-out book and everything."

"Like in movies?" she giggled.

"And ~~meta for~~Nancy Drew books!" Claudia said, nodding. "Stuff in the mattress, in the closet, under the bed...it's a good thing my room was always a mess. More places to hide things."

"How come they were so strict?" she wondered.

"~~Probably trying to avoid bugs in my room~~I don't know," Claudia said. "It seemed kind of stupid, so I ignored it."

"I mean, my gran doesn't let us have just anything -- have to eat your greens before you can have any pie, all that," Sookie admitted, "but she never banned candy 'less we were in trouble."

"How would you get into trouble?" Claudia asked.

"For me? Being smart, usually," she said, shrugging. "Jason always gets in the bigger trouble. I'm the quiet one.

"Quiet's not so bad," Claudia said. Because she was so quiet. Really.

"I guess you'd think that, working in a library," Sookie giggled.

"After this, I always have to go home and blast music," Claudia confided. "There's such a thing as too quiet."

"But you must like it, being around all the books!" Sookie said like the giant dork she was.

"Sometimes I think they're talking about me," Claudia murmured. "This place is weird."

But she'll still have enough left for lunch.

And wash 'em down with a Diet Coke.

Because healthy eating is important, yo.

To...other people who aren't Claudia.

I might love the hat icon a little too much.
