“Well, depends on how you look at it. Wheatgrass has a lot of nutritional properties, but it’s not the go-to remedy for detoxing. Besides, you can’t actually detox your body, so just roll with whatever, but don’t overdo it with the burgers and fries. You wanna try a different one?”

“Who said anything about detoxing? There’s no way I could live on anything like this for long enough to detox. I’ll cut back on the burgers and fries if it means I won’t have to drink this too often. Yes, let’s definitely try another one - one that doesn’t taste like the combination of the color green and...dirt.”

“You honestly think it’s that bad? Makenna has not been teaching you right…” Jace mused with a playful smile in her direction.

“Yes, you don’t?! Oh, I know, but it’s not from a lack of trying. I think she’s scared I’ll die young if I don’t start being just a little bit healthy.” She laughed, shaking her head. “But heeeey, look who’s back. How’ve you been, blondie?”

“It’s not supposed to taste nice, it’s all about how good it is for you. And it’s just a shot. You don’t have to drink a whole glass a day. But fine, whatever, at least you tried it. Won’t stop me from taking a shot pretty much every day.“

"Well, then I will transfer my daily wheatgrass to you from now on; because I'm so considerate and sweet, and want you to be extra healthy so you can live the longest out of the two of us." She laughed and elbowed him gently. "It's different for you, you're the sports dude, so you're supposed to be immune to the horrible taste of these kinds of things."

“Okay, so now you know it tastes like shit, will you join team double-cheeseburger-for-life?“

"Hell yes! Especially if we can throw pizzas, fries and a whole lot of ice cream and cake into the mix as well, what do you say?"

Her features blossomed into a huge smile as she hung on to the other’s every word, mentally taking note. People sure were friendly around here, which was such a relief for her. “Sounds like I’ll have my weekends full for the next few weeks! I honestly can’t wait. Not that work is boring, I’m pretty thankful for my new job, but you know, nice to have a look around too.” Her rambling died off with a laugh as she nodded appreciatively, “Thanks though, that really helps me out, especially all those Mexican places which I’ll definitely check out, and if the weather’s good today I may just lounge around the beach. Did you know there’s a place here where they take you out to see dolphins? Amazing! – Wait, of course you know, you seem like you know your way around here. Are you from around town?”

Roxy loved running into new people, especially back in Cloverbrook where everything was so different from in the city - a lot more tight-knit for sure. "Yes, there's actually a lot more to do around here than it seems like at first glance. Where did you say you were working?" She asked with a curious smile, happy to get to know the stranger a little bit better. "You're welcome! It's nice to see newcomers around here who likes to go out and get to know the area." She laughed warmly and then nodded. "Yes, yes I know about that place. It's pretty great - there are a lot of wildlife spots around here. Yup, I'm a proud Cloverbrook native!"

“Pretty much, being able to take care of itself is the reason why I have a cat. She is pretty awesome, her name is Katherine for Henry V.”

"Some of them seem kind of shady though, like they're gonna kill you in your sleep, you know? I love them because of that mystery factor though. Katherine? That's pretty cool. Katherine the cat."

“But it’s nature’s finest medicine. Eh, everything really healthy is always kinda weird. One of my exes used to drink smoothies with eggshell in it. You ground it into dust and add in there, and like - it doesn’t taste like anything and it’s really good for you, the shell’s like nothing but pure calcium, but fucking hell it felt like drinking sand.”

"What?! With eggshell in it? Are you being serious? Ugh, I don't know if I would rather have this or drink ground up eggshell. Actually...probably the eggshell."

“I mean, it’s not the best, but I’ve been told it’s such a great detox. I figured I’d give it a shot.”

"I applaud you for at least trying it out, I mean, that's what counts in the end but...it's definitely never going to be a regular thing for me."

[txmorrowisanewday-blog]

Yeah. It’s shit. I’ve found some ways to make being healthy easier. The more I keep staying fit and shit the more I ask myself “Is it worth all this?” and “Should I just give up?” Life’d be a lot more fun.

Ugh, right?! I’m honestly not a big fan of changing my diet and all that crap, I would rather just... workout once in awhile, but still eat ice cream and cake and.. good food.

“Okay, so that’s what wheat grass tastes like— um, I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure it’s not worth being healthy, if being healthy has to taste like that.”

“I’m fairly convinced that my cat thinks she’s a princes because she’s named after one,” he said with a chuckle, “She struts around the apartment, not even kidding.”

“Ugh, I love cats— they’re so fucking weird and mysterious, you know? Like... They just do whatever they want - they don’t need no man.” She laughed. “Your cat sounds awesome. What’s her name?”

Giovanni stares at the model in the eyes, trying to reassure them that they looked fantastic. “The clothes that I have just put on you are made speciffically for you. You look as beautiful as ever. Trust me, I know fashion like the back of my hand. I just need you to stand in front of the camera and sell it.” With a small smile, he touches their arm with his fingertips. “It’s going to be ok. It’s alright to be nervous, but i just need 5 minutes of you being as confident as ever. As confident as you are when you yell at me when you know that I’ve gotten your shoe size wrong.” He ads in a bit of humor to lighten up the mood.

“Sorry,” Roxy said with a light laugh, her nose wrinkling a little. “I’m always a little nervous, whether it’s on the stage or in front of a camera, but this is good. I’ll be okay, I promise.” She smiled, nodding them. “Thank you though, thank you.” She laughed then, shaking her head. “You should have seen the look on your face though, when I yelled at you— it was obviously just a joke.” She sent him a reassuring smile, knowing she could be a bit colorful and loud, but that her acting skills depended on her lack of shyness.

Moving to a new town meant Isabelle was still finding her feet, and especially since the first few days of the school year had just begun, the weekend was her opportunity to finally explore more of town. Turning to the person next to her, Isabelle smiled brightly,  “Hey, I’m sorry to bother you but – I’m new around town, and I was just wondering if you knew of anything good to do around here? Or places to eat? I’m still on that summer vibe and I don’t feel like staying at home going through paperwork.”

“Oh, hey!” Roxy turned towards the strager, a smile already on her face. “Well, there’s always the beach, and the farmer’s market is on today, so you should definitely check that out. Um, if you like Mexican food, try out La Ciudad or the La Corona food truck down by the shore.” She pulled her shoulders up, thoughtful for a moment. “There’s the lake as well, and the pub in East - and you should definitely check out the trails in Crystal Falls.”

I just finished a shift and I can’t decide whether I want to go home and watch Netflix or go out and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Hmm, that’s a hard one— let’s go with both! We do the whole outdoors thing first, maybe go to the beach or to the lake or something, and then we load up on candy and ice cream in front of the TV tonight?

“Huh? No, I’m not your Uber. Not everyone who drives a luxury SUV is an Uber driver. I mean, if you need a ride somewhere I’ll give you one.”

“I was just guessing, I wasn’t sure. But hey, I’m not actually going any`where, but since you asked, why not. Let’s go to the beach? I was gonna take my bike, but eh, I’m too lazy.”

“Hey, you!”, she raised her voice so the person passing by could hear her. “Can you please pick up this call for me? It’s the girl from last night and I’m really not in the mood for that”, she offered the phone. “If you scream it’s a plus”

Roxy turned around when a voice caught her attention, eyes searching for a second before she accepted the phone with a nod, bringing it to her ear. “You’ve reached Ace Torres’ phone, this is her assistant Phoebe Greene. I’m sorry, but Ace is busy with meetings all day, and she will be out of reach next week for business. Please feel free to leave a message for her through me, but understand that I would have to prioritize it through urgency.” She shrugged, listening. “Okay well, bye then.” Handing the phone back, she grinned a little. “Hope that worked.”
