Dealing with it.

Lunch at Spur:

Spur was a fast food resturant, based on Native American tribes, and with barely anything worth eating, because the food there tasted like carboard for the most part. Meaning Emily was either stoned out of her gourd, or she had invited Claire to talk. "The Bl...bluff seems cool Claire." said Kate. "Eh it's alright. Jason lived here. But this is one of the most polluted places in Durban. And one of the sketchiest. But its cool here. Just keep your guard up." Kate nodded as they walked across the road. She had her hair done as Claire would have had it Pre-Jason. Shadow of The Tomb Raider style. They walked in and despite the food quality, the vibe was unreal. She looked around, until she saw Emily waving, and moved towards her with Kate trailing behind. Claire jumped into a seat next to a blonde girl, and Kate climbed in next to her. " So you're Claire? Emily told us about you. You seem cool. " said a black haired girl, next to Emily. " Well im glad you think so. " Emily pressed on now. " Who's your friend? " " Kate Worthington. I stayed over at her place last night. "Hi." Kate stammered. " You two seem a bit mixed up." Very observant blondie. " Yeah, we're dressing as each other for a day. " " So that's why you look like that." Ugh, another one of these people. " Yip. So wheres the menu?" Despite the fact that their food was total shit, Claire did leave her breakfast. It soon came, and they ordered. Then they moved on to crushes. Claire just spoke to Kate, who seemed thoroughly invested in the conversation. " Well E, you remember your shadow? Jason..." Emily was gesturing for the blonde one to shut up, but it was too late. "Oh sorry Claire, I didn't mean it like that. I know he was crazy over you. " she said tauntingly. " Whatever blondie. How come we hear nothing of people who like you?" Claire retorted, kinda pissed. " Sorry, but that relationship seemed a bit dysfunctional. With both Emily and you. " " Morgan, thats enough. " " Sorry, just stating the obvious. You have a boyfriend E. Stop complaining." Claire snapped. " Listen, you better shut your mouth before I close your fucking windpipe, got that?!" Claire said her voice rising.
" Is there no rest for the dead? Give him a break Morgan! You were a bitch in life and now in his death." Morgan was taken aback slightly and looked for support from Emily's friends. She looked at Claire. She had seen killers with kinder eyes. " Back me up Emily..." " You deserve that M." " Ugh, fine! Enjoy your lunch you slut!" Claire gave her the finger as she shouted in front of everyone " Bye Morgan! Dont get hit by a bus!" Claire leaned back slightly, relaxed. They moved on from the conversation, and then they ate. People gave her dirty looks but she didn't care. She wasnt wearing her normal, clothes. That didnt mean she was going to act out of character. " So... Kate. Tell us about yourself." " Umm... Im 18, I went to Durban Girls... not much to say. I like reading.... " Claire let them carry on as she took a closer look at the waiter. She'd seen him before. Somewhere... " Huh Claire?" she was woken up slightly. " What? I wasn't listening. Emily do you recognize the waiter? " Emily paused to look. " He was at the beach the day we... " Claire stood up quickly and left to chase after him. " You, turn around quickly. " " D'you want a refill ?" he said not making eye contact. " You were at the beach yesterday... " " No, i dont know what yo..." " What were you doing with that girl?" He paused before telling her to keep it down, then said. " Yes I was, but I left. I told him to leave her alone... I swea..." " Shut up. Tell me who the girl was and why you wanted her." " HE wanted her because she had money on her, he may have known her. I dont, but I can ask. " Claire paused considered. Even though she had saved the girl, she wondered why she was in her dreams, and wondered how she must've sounded. She soon said " Find out. Tell me as soon as you can. Everything you can find out..." " He could stab me..." Claire gave him a look and said " I bite. For your sake I suggest you find out. " He nodded and walked back. She sat down again. " And?" " And he will find out who that girl is." Kate was confused but didnt say anything, whereas Emily looked surprised. " It's probably just a random robbery." " Maybe. Can't hurt to find out. " She wrote her number on the napkin as she and Kate left.
