guilty feet have got no rhythm

[Alexxis Rodriguez]

*CARELESS WHISPERS,

Laden down with at least twenty seven (she'd actually been bothered to count them) pieces of clothing, three pairs of shoes, four guitars (two acoustic and two electric), eight pairs of lingerie and seven odd socks, Alexxis Ellen Rodriguez was about ready to drop everything, fall over, or both. It wasn't normal behviour for him, not in this situation anyway. Her step-mom had decided it was a good time for her to clean out the rest of her old room and shove it into her new apartment building; unfortunately, Alexxis didn't have her car at the moment and she had no doubt that she'd be refused the right of public transport just because of all of the stuff in her hands. Heck, she couldn't even see over the top of the pile in her hands and so was having a little more slight difficulty with trying to not bump into things. It wasn't very effective at the moment - she'd already been friendly with a couple of trash cans and then had an affair with three street lights and one poor, unsuspecting dog. She didn't need anything else at the moment. Except maybe some coffee.

What felt like several hundred hours later, Alexxis had successfully managed to get back to her new aparment, seemingly unscathed and with an air of loathing around her pretty little head as she simply dropped everything to the floor of her bedroom. Placing her hands on her hips and looking down at the pile, she decided that before she tackled the pile and put it all away, a trip to Starbucks was in order and she wasn't taking no for an answer... actually, she couldn't take no for an answer since she was going with herself. Taking in her attire at the moment, she wondered if it'd be worth changing into something a little more comfortable, or prehaps something a little more warm. Because, lets face it; shorts and vest weren't exactly warm material for the weather out there. Wait, what was she talking about?! Of course it was warm out there, it was flipping... eighty something degrees and it wasn't raining, at least not yet it wasn't anyway. But then again; this was Alexxis that we're talking about and she was pretty much cold twenty four seven, maybe there was something wrong with her. It was warm outsite, but she picked up a pair of grey skinny jeans, then thought better about it and picked up shorts.

Finally, after several minutes of 'hmm' and 'urmm's Alexxis was dressed in a pair of demin summer shorts, a white, halter neck t-shirt and had put odd shoes back on her feet. Shoving her wallet into the back pocket of her shorts and jamming a pair of purple ray bans on her head, Alexxis bounced over to the door to her apartment, swiftly picking up her sidekick, iPod and blue camera at the same time, before leaving the apartment and walking all the way to Starbucks for some much deserved caffiene. As she walked, the earbuds were placed into her ears and the volume of her iPod was put right up so that everyone walking around her could hear that she was listening to Metric, amongst other various artists that she liked, including her own band with her best friend. Since her music was up so loud she couldn't hear the voices of Go:Audio telling her that her phone was ringing. She did, however, feel the vibration of it in her pocket and jumped with so much shock that she ended up walking into a pole, clinging to it for dear life. With one hand, the ear buds were out of her ear and the phone was put up against it. Unforunately, or stupidly, Alexxis hadn't pressed the green button and got an ear-full of 'made up stories' instead.

"Buggar!" The seventeen year old exclaimed as she yanked the phone from her ear and pressed her finger so hard against the green button that she almost dropped the phone and had to scramble around the pole to catch it before it hit the floor. "Nyahh. HAIDADDY!" The voice on the other end of the phone wasn't that of her mother, but was that of her step-mom instead - she'd spent her childhood living with her that she'd forget and always call her 'Lydia' instead of Mom"Ooh, sorry Lydia, I thought it was daddy calling me to tell me that I've left several hundred items at home and too collect them as soon as possible." Letting go of the pole, Alexxis shook her hair out of his face and started to walk down the path, as though none of the previous actions had ever happened. It wasn't too long before she arrived at Starbucks and walked into the door instead of opening it. What? It was so damn clean that she thought it was already open, it was an honest mistake! It really was. "Ow, uhh, ohh. No?" Alexxis rubbed her forehead and shuffled over to the counter, lifting her head up so that she could scan the arrays of caffiene drinks and sweet treats, all for her pleasent delight. "Really?"

Alexxis picked out what she wanted and placed her order with the female behind the counter, still talking to her step-mom. "No, dad never tells me anything, but listen... Lydia, I'll call you back later and tell you all about the wonde-- thank you." Her order interrupted her conversation, Alexxis picked up her order and meandered through the sea of seats, looking for a place to sit down. Her brown eyes settled on an empty armchair and a table occupied by a person of the male variety. Interesting. "sorry Lyd-ia, I was going to say I'll call you back later and tell you all about the wonderfully, exciting, fantasmago-- sorry, do you mind if I sit there?" The girl asked the other floppy haired boy, pointing with her foot to the empty chair and placing her drink and cookie down on the table before she dropped them. "Okay, Lydia, no I do not want to talk about Ehlana, no. Never again, okay?" Ehlana was an ex-girlfriend of her, they'd recently broken up for several reasons. "No. Bye." Alexxis hung up the phone on her step-mom and shoved it back into her pocket, sitting and picking up her Starbucks, looking over the top of her cup at the person she'd intruded on.

"Sorry..." she mumbled, taking a sip of her drink and relaxing back into the comfort of the arm chair. Her mind started to drift to Ehlana and she suddenly found herself wishing that her step-mom hadn't brought her up into their perfectly pleasant conversation; now that she was in her mind, Alexxis wasn't so sure that she wanted her coffee anymore and settled on picking at her cookie instead. She didn't mean to be rude to the male she was sitting with, it wasn't his fault. Well, it wasn't really anyone's fault; she usually didn't speak unless it was absolutely necessary and now, after the subject of her ex-girlfriend had been brought up, Alexxis wasn't so sure she wanted to speak at all. But she figured that since she'd practically intruded on the male, she'd have to offer her name... sort of like a peace offering or something. Clearing her throat, Alexxis twitched her nose to one side and moved her fringe out of her eyes, looking back up at the male and then down at her cookie. But it was too late, the male had moved and someone had taken his place.

And won't you think I'm pretty

When I'm standing top the bright lit city?

Spencer grabbed the Burt's Bees lip balm out of her bag for what was about the third time in less than five minutes. The blonde californian had quickly developed a sort of addiction for the stuff when she first got it. She coated her lips in a thick layer of the lip balm, for probably to do the same in a few minutes again. The lip balm dissapeared into the bag again and she continued to stoll around the mall. Of course it could not compare to Long Beach or even Los Angeles, the two places she loved to go, but it was better than nothing and the shops weren't even half that bad.

Her grey eyes scanned the mall from behind a pair of dorky glasses that she loved so much, maybe even more than contacts, or maybe not. This girl would be, as she always says herself, near to blind without her glasses or contacts. She was born with a somehow okay sight but the older she got the worse her sight got. Now it had been the same for a few years already, luckily or she really would be nearing being incapeable of seeing anything. Seeing a shop she liked, she finally started walking again. And just before she went into the shop she couldn't resist to grab the Burt's bees lip balm again

*CARELESS WHISPERS,

Unfortunately for Alexxis the newcomer was not a person that she particularly wished to collaborate with. Quietly excusing herself, the brunette picked up her plastic cup of iced cookie and the last of cookie, shuffled away from the person and exited Starbucks with a quick glance over her shoulder to make sure that the person wouldn't follow her for reasons unknown. Shoving the last part of the cookie in her mouth, Alexxis chewed it thoughtfully as she made her way around the mall, taking unnecessary, evasive action to get out of sight of the person she'd almost had to endure talking too. Several moments later she washed the last of the cookie down with the last of the iced coffee and started to look around for a trash can to dump her waste in.

Not particularly good at looking where she was going, the brunette brushed past a couple hundred people; dangerously close to knocking them over if and when she wasn't paying attention. Not that she really cared... well, she did, but they didn't know that, did they? Brushing her hair out of her eyes, Alexxis scanned the mall for a decent shop to go in - it wasn't like her old city; there had been more to do there, but Fairview wasn't all that bad. Really.

Biting the end of her nail, the bassist made her way over to a particularly interesting store. However, on her way she tripped over her shoelace and fell smack bang into a female, from behind. Alexxis had no time to take evasive action, she fell sideways to the floor and found herself on her back, looking up at the female she'd just walked into.

"Holy shit! Are you okay?" Spencer exclaimed as she saw the brunette lying on the floor in front of her. The blonde run a hand through her wavy hair. "I'm Spencer Kingsley" she stated holding out her hand for the brunette to grab. Spencer helped to girl up and shook her hand. Just as the girl was about to say something Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses came from Spencer's bag. She grabbed the Sidekick out of her bag and quickly aswered.

"Hola, Spencer Kingsley" she said quickly. "Hey dad, could you call back in like 30 minutes?" Spencer asked, her hand reaching into her bag for the lip balm once again. "Awesome, talk to you. Love you too" she stated and she ran the lipbalm over her lips again. She put the sidekick and the Burt Bee's lipbalm into her bag. "I'm sorry for that" she apologized to the girl whose name was still a question to Spencer. She pushed the dorky black glasses further up her nose and ran a hand through her hair once again.

*CARELESS WHISPERS,

At least the floor in the mall wasn't as hard as the floor outside, Alexxis attempted to get to her feet on her own but just ended up flailing around a little, as the girl she'd just bumped into exclaimed, rather loudly and looked around to see her on the floor.

Holy shit! Are you okay? I'm Spencer Kingsley. The blonde held out a hand for her too take. Glad for some assistance, Alexxis took her hand carefully and helped Spencer to help her get back into a standing position. The shaking of the hands was very brief and once she had her hand back, Alexxis quickly shoved it into the pocket of her jeans. She had opened her mouth to say something, but a cell phone started to ring and she jumped back a step, unexpected that was!

Hola, Spencer Kingsley. Hey dad, could you call back in like 30 minutes? Awesome, talk to you. Love you too. The blonde put her cell phone back and pulled out a lip balm, the same one she had in her hand not three seconds ago.

I'm sorry for that. Came an apology. Alexxis nodded, she knew what it was like when speaking to someone on the phone. During this time she hadn't uttered a single word, but she knew that she was going to have to give Spencer her name now that they'd become acquaintances. She opened her mouth and mumbled.

"Alexxis." It was all she could offer since she rarely talked to anyone, not after everything that had happened in her life. Alexxis rarely spoke and most questioned about whether she could. If she couldn't talk, or didn't know many words, then how comes she was able to sing like she did?

"Oooh, that sure is an awesome name, better than mine" the californian exclaimed. She sure as hell did not like her first name for multiple reasons, hence the fact why she used her middle name. "So are you like in a band or something?" Spencer asked. Whoa, that's a stupid question, nearly everyone is in a band here you fool she thought and mentally slapped herself for asking such a stupid question. Spencer was in serious lack of friends here and would probably do anything just to get to know someone a little bit better. Unfortunately she wasn't in a band anymore, her old band in high school had kicked her out as soon as she went to rehab. Of course this girl wasn't proud of her past, nearly nobody even knew what she had been into in the past, let alone did they knew that she changed her name from Lia Fernandez to Spencer Kingsley as soon as she was out of rehab.

She looked on the little clock on her phone. It said 12:44 in those typical digital clock numbers. Only an hour left before I have to be back at the campus again Spencer thought. She hated college with a passion but as long as she wasn't in a band she had to kill time somehow and this way she would satisfy her dad a little too. He'd rather have her being just like her sister, Leanna, a goody two shoes who's finished university and now settles for a boring job and will probably marry some guy with a simple office job. Oh Spencer sure as hell wasn't like that. Music was her one an only passion and she'd done most of the things God has forbidden. If she would ever marry at all, she would probably marry a tattooed musician, at least that's what she hoping on. She got snapped out of her deep thoughts by Alexxis' voice

*CARELESS WHISPERS,

Oooh, that sure is an awesome name, better than mine. Alexxis smiled faintly; she wasn't too keen on her own name, but it had to be better than other names. A lot better. Spencer wasn't that bad a name in her own opinion, of course she knew, for the most part, that it was supposedly a male's name, and had, effectively, never even heard of a female Spencer. So, this was a wholly new experience for her. At the moment, she liked Spencer; much nicer than any other Spencer that she'd met before.... which would have been, none. So, that went without saying, really.

So are you like in a band or something? The brunette nodded. Who wasn't in a band around here. It seemed that most of the people she'd met lately had been in a band, except Tj; he wasn't in a band, he was a delivery boy. Alexxis smiled faintly, she knew that it would rude on her part if she didn't answer the question about whether she was in a band or not. "Yeah, Yours Untruly." She figured that giving Spencer the name of the band would prevent her from asking any more questions. Not that she didn't like questions; she just didn't like answering them... with her voice.

As she spoke, she noticed that Spencer was starting to go off in her own little world; after having seen the time on the watch she was wearing. The brunette smiled faintly; quiet was a welcome change, just not too much of it. Bringing a hand up to her face and brushing a strand of her hair out of her eyes, Alexxis cast a quick glance at the watch on Spencer's wrist, but she couldn't quite see the time, so turned her head slightly... now she couldn't see anything at all. Sighing, the brunette cleared her throat quietly and stepped slightly closer to Spencer, tilting her head at her a little.

"What is the time?" She asked politely.

"Yeah, Yours Untruly" the brunette stated while nodding. Man, I wish I was in a band Spencer thought, but then again it was her own fault she wasn't anymore. Drugs truely did ruin your life and she couldn't have learned it a harder way. "What is the time?" Alexxis asked politely. "Uhm...twelve fifty" the blonde stated after looking on her watch. Alexxis nodded. Spencer ran a hand through her hair and yet again grabbed the lip balm from her bag. She was truely addicted to it but at least it was better than drugs of any sort.

"So, your from around here?" Spencer asked, trying to get a conversation started. The girl could not stand silence, she always had to be surrounded by either music, talking or some other kind of noise and being the blabbermouth that she is, it was talking most of the time. She put the lip balm back in her bag and waited for Alexxis to answer, even though she got the impression that the brunette didn't like talking as much as she did.
