Harvey and Nail (Glimmer and Clove One-Shot)

Harvey and Nail

Glimmer lay on the sofa, twirling her blonde waves of hair around her fingers and tilting her head to look in the mirror every other second, blinking her decorated eyes vainly and admiring the reflection she considered beautiful.

Through a pair of earbuds, the music swam, filling the head of the stuck-up blonde, who opened her mouth and sang in a voice she thought was phenomenal:

Kisses like cream,
Her walk is so mean
And every jaw drop
When she's in those jeans,
Alright! Alright!

I don't exist
If I don't have her
The sun doesn't shine,
The world doesn't turn,
Alright! Alright!
But I know, I know, I know for sure

Everybody wanna steal my girl
Everybody wanna take her heart away
Couple billion in the whole wide world
Find another one 'cause she belongs to me

Na na na na na na--

"Glimmer!"

Her soap-opera voice was cut off by the brunette who had just entered the room. Glimmer rolled her eyes, tilting her head back to glare at the girl. "Oh, shut up, you--"

"Could you turn that down?" Clove asked in what could have been taken as a severely innocent voice, although there was enough weight in the tone to emphasize her point. "I'm trying to read and I can't focus."

Glimmer pursed her lips. "Turn down my voice, eh? When I'm listening to like, the hottest boy band ever to walk the planet?"

Clove raised her eyebrows. "Hottest? Not like you have very good judgment."

"Cato's hot," Glimmer snapped irritably. "Even you can't deny that."

"Fine," Clove muttered. "So who's this band?"

"One Direction," Glimmer replied dreamily, flashing the whites of her teeth at Clove. "They're five extremely sexy British guys..." she hesitated. "Well, except for Nail."

"Nail?" Clove echoed. Glimmer continued like she hadn't even heard.

"But Harvey Stylish TOTALLY outdoes the rest," she giggled sickly. "His eyes are like blue rivers, his hair is curly and beautiful, and--"

"What about the rest of them?" Clove interrupted Glimmer's tirade hotly.

"Let's see: Harvey Stylish... ahhhhhh." Glimmer sighed for a full ten seconds before continuing: "Nail Hore--ughhhhh." She made a fake gagging sound. "Levi Pained... Lewis Tomlin... Zack Malfick." She drew a long breath and her head fell back against the edge of the sofa. "OH MY GOSH HARVEY'S SOLO'S ON!" she screeched suddenly, leaping upward and caressing her earbuds as she closed her eyes. Clove looked on in disgust.

"Can I see what they look like?" Without waiting for a response, she seized Glimmer's iPhone and looked at the cover art. 

"Which one's Nail?"

Glimmer tapped the picture above the face of the blonde guy. Almost instantly, she drew her hand back and brushed it off disgustedly on her skirt.

"He's not bad-looking at all," commented Clove slowly.

Glimmer fake-gagged again.

"I don't care what he looks like; I'm not picking him."

"PICKING?!" Clove stammered, turning to stare at Glimmer.

"Yeah, you know, to date." Glimmer grinned, flashing too-pink lips at Clove's shocked face.

"What makes you think you'll be able to date one of them?" Clove gaped at her.

"Because I'm like, so hot they'd NEVER be able to turn me down!" Glimmer spat at her. "YOU on the other hand, can have Nail all to yourself; unless even he won't have you, considering how ugly you are..."

"Look who's talking," mumbled Clove.

"ME?!" Glimmer shrieked, her tone several notches above normal. "CLOVE HOLLY KENTWELL, I AM THE HOTTEST GIRL AROUND HERE AND YOU KNOW THAT! HARVEY WILL NEVER TURN ME DOWN! YOU ASK HOW I KNOW THAT? WELL, HE SECRETLY WROTE STEAL MY GIRL ABOUT ME! SO THERE!"

In an extremely calm tone, Clove replied slickly, "But Harvey didn't write the song."

Glimmer was outraged. "YES HE DID!"

"No," Clove replied, still calmly as she studied the album information on Glimmer's iPhone. "It says here that it was written by Wayne Hector, John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, Ed Drewett, and... Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne?" She froze. "Wait a second..." Without warning, she laughed aloud. Glimmer stared at her with more shock and confusion than anger.

"What?"

"He definitely won't date you," laughed Clove, "given that you don't even know any of their NAMES!"

"YES I DO!" screamed Glimmer in rage. "YES I DO, YOU... YOU IDIOT!" Clove shook her head and began to walk out the door.

"CLOVE HOLLY KENTWELL, YOU GIVE ME BACK MY IPHONE RIGHT THIS SECOND!" screeched Glimmer.

"Why don't you stand up and come get it?" Clove said tiredly. Glimmer refused to budge.

"I'm not getting up."

Clove shrugged. "Have it your way. 'Harvey' definitely isn't dating a girl who can't even stand up to retrieve his music."
