CLUMSY • Crystal Methyd x Gigi Goode (Crygi)

!TWO!

(Hey!! Thanks for reading!)

CRYSTAL LAY, SPRAWLED ALONG HER BED. Her abstract boob pillow wrapped around her waist as her thumbs tapped along her phone screen, browsing the internet leisurely, it had been two days since her interaction with the random lady who's phone number was like Jans, and Crystal hadn't really paid it much mind.

Of course she would occasionally think about it, but that was mainly her anxiety peaking up at random points. She had got Jan's actual number and replaced Jan's previous contact with the name 'Lady.'

It's not like Crystal intended on speaking to the woman and embarrassing herself like that again, it was just she liked to feel like she had many friends, it's not like an extra contact could hurt.

Her fingers danced long her screen, liking different Instagram posts before the contact 'Lady' popped up on her screen, trying to call her. Crystal had figured that perhaps she clicked on the wrong number- but there was no harm in picking up.

And so that she did.

"Yellow?" She mumbled, a phrase that had been taught to her by her mother and somehow made her feel more youthful every single time she said it.

"I can't stop thinking about you." Lady mumbled down the phone and Crystals eyebrows furrowed in confusion "me?"

Crystal swore this was a lot more intense than a conversation should be whenever you are talking to somebody for the second time in your whole life.

"Yeah... sorry this sounds really weird" the girl chuckled awkwardly "I'm not like obsessed or in love with you or anything!" She confirmed in which Crystal just nodded her head at before realising that Gigi couldn't see her "as you were saying.." she replied.

"Oh yeah! That! Yeah I don't know... you seem really cool and you called me and you were gonna eat icecream you are allergic to and I don't know I think we should be friends." She stated, as if it was the easiest thing ever, and somehow- it really was.

Crystal thought about it for a few moments, the girl didn't sound old over the phone, or like a man. And if she got kidnapped and murdered- at least she made a friend while doing it.

"Sure."

"Sure?"

"Yeah let's be friends!"

"Oh!" The voice squeaked down the line, pausing for a few moments before speaking again "I'm Gigi!" She clarified, her tone preppy and pristine as crystal nodded "I'm Crystal!... so... you are from LA?" She questioned hesitantly.

"Indeed I am diva!" She replied back, sounding somewhat ditzy and Crystal had to let out a short giggle at the woman's reply "oh! My pronouns are she/her" Crystal decided to clarify to the girl, who just hummed in response.

"So.. Trinket?" Gigi questioned curiously, Crystal thinking dumbfounded for a few seconds before realisation dawned upon her that the last time that she had a conversation with the girl she ended it by talking about her cat.

"Trinket is my cat, she needed fed, shes a little needy sometimes."  Crystal stated with a Chuckle, in which Gigi laughed softly back "I have a dog called Nancy! She's my baby" and the softness and excitement radiating from the girls voice was oddly endearing coming from the girl.

"So how old are you miss Gigi?" Crystal questioned, finding herself rolling over onto her stomach, kicking her feet back and forth as she spoke on the phone, doing an action she was really convinced only happened in movies.

"Twenty three big years old, only turned it in December, how about you miss Crystal?" Gigi answered, Crystal was actually pleasantly surprised that it was actually a girl her age.

"Twenty four, turning 25 in April, ha! I'm older than you!" She exclaimed teasingly, hearing a fake sigh of defeat come from the other girl down the line "oh my! What will I do, this random Crystal girl is older than me!" She exclaimed dramatically, drawing giggles from both of the girls.

"So I'm pretty sure you already knew I was from L.A because of my area code.." Gigi stated, talking about the area code that was shown through her phone number hesitated for a few seconds, trying to think about how to bring up this conversation without sounding like a stalker "what state are you from?" She asked, trying to spark up some basic small talk between the two girls.

"Good old Springfield Missouri!" Crystal stated, a small warmth filling her chest as she continued the casual conversation with the girl, it felt oddly natural to Crystal, speaking so fluently and easy with somebody that she barely new. It felt foreign, but still good.

Gigi chuckled softly, the way Crystal exclaimed her words so excitedly seemed humorous to the Los Angeles girl. "Like the Simpsons?" She questioned, getting a firm and straight forward answer of "please never ask me that again or I will climb through this phone and stomp on you" from Crystal. Gigi told her that she would definitely keep that noted.

The two girls held a conversation, drawing it on further and further, what seemed like just a few minutes ended up being forty-five long minutes of sarcastic remarks and slowly getting to know one another.

Of course Crystal found the whole ordeal somewhat odd. Her accidentally calling a random stranger from halfway across the country and embarrassing herself and then them calling her back and asking for a friendship with her. Maybe it was just the fact that Crystal was so used to her already tight-knit friend groups that she was surprised that somebody else wanted to befriend her, although she wasn't angry at the idea at all.

Crystal realised that twelve in the morning was approaching faster than she anticipated, deciding on bringing her and the girls conversation to a stop.

"Gigi... it's almost twelve-am" she mumbled, a half yawn leaving her lips as she spoke, Gigi replying with a simple hum of "mhm" then proceeding to follow that up with a "it seems as if you are correct, Missouri is two hours ahead, right?" She asked.

Crystal has completely forgotten about time zones existing, realising that it was only approaching ten at night for the other girl "oh shit i'm in the future.." she mumbled, drawing a chuckle from Gigi.

"Oh anyways! As I was saying." Crystals tan hand brushed over the soft mattel of her bed sheets as she spoke to the girl "it's almost twelve a-m and I promised my friend we would go roller skating tomorrow." Crystal mumbled quickly, almost embarrassed to admit that she had made plans and actually has somewhat of a life.

"Oh that's not an issue Crystal!" Gigi assures "sorry for keeping you up diva" Gigi apologised, Crystal thought the apology was unneeded, she didn't mind talking with Gigi and she found the whole experience was somewhat therapeutic for her.

"Don't apologise gee" Crystal states reassuringly, drawing a snarky "oh so we are already on nickname basis Crystal? Ugh just say your in love with me and go!" She teased.

Crystal hated to admit it but she found this complete stranger very fucking adorable.

"Well Crystal, as you said 'you have to go rollerskating' so I'll leave you to it." Gigi stated, trying to be as warm as possible, to try and let Crystal know that she enjoyed her conversation.

"Goodnight gee"

"Goodnight Crystal"

"Wait Gigi! Before you go!" Crystal paused, stopping seconds before hanging up the phone

"Yes?"

"Text me please."

"Of course I will dummy" Gigi giggled, ending the phone call with Crystal seconds after she spoke, finding herself texting Crystal 'goodnight diva ;)'.

In which Crystal sarcastically replied with "ugh bitches can't leave me alone :0" leaving Gigi to giggle at the sarcastic message, soon finding herself replying with a middle finger emoji.

Gigi already liked Crystal.
