I'm only happy when it rains I'm only happy when its complicated And though I know you can't appreciate it I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the music's bad Or while I feel so good, you feel so sad I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains I feel good when things are goin' wrong I only listen to the sad, sad songs I'm only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark My only comfort is the night gone black... ...I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through When I complain about me and you I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down...
...I'm only happy when it rains You wanna hear about my new obsession I'm riding high upon a deep depression I'm only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me I'm only happy when it rains Pour some misery down on me...
-Only Happy When It Rains, by Garbage (CD: self-titled)
Nick gaped, "What the hell is your problem?? It was a simple question, you freak. I could get you in some big sh*t for that, you know."
"Yeah," Monstrosity rolled her eyes. "But you wouldn't."
"Try me!"
As much as she would have loved to win this, she knew how much she needed this job, "What do you want?"
"I thought I'd already made that clear to you... Go out with me tonight."
"I don't get you," she sighed. "You think I'm a 'freak', that I'm so horrible, but you still want to go out with me. Is this some 'freak outreach'? Pick me up at 7, asshole."
Nick watched her walk off, before he left and went to his car, forgetting all about the sandwhiches.
~ * ~ That Night ~ * ~
Nick was finding himself beginning to like her. He didn't know what it was about her. She was different than most girls that he came across - Haha, of course she was different! She hated his guts. Maybe it was that whole challenge thing. Good guy, who can get practically any woman that he wants, going for the cruel, heartless bitch who wouldn't give him the time of day. You always want what you can't have.
Nick sighed as she glared at him for the upteenth time, that evening, from across the restaurant table. "Y'know, you don't have to be such a bitch. I'd like you just the same," he smirked, jokingly at her.
Monstrosity didn't answer, just held his gaze with a fiery (in an I'd-kill-you-right-now-if-it-weren't-illegal type of way) glare.
He took a deep breath, "Nevermind."
~ * ~ Later That Night ~ * ~
"Well, um... Thanks for letting me take you out, or something..." Nick stuttered at her doorway.
Monstrosity turned around, having been unlocking her door, "I don't get why you asked me out, Carter. We hate each other and neither of us wanted to be there. It was pointless."
"Yeah," he sighed. "Pointless."
She stared at him, waiting for him to say something. 'Why am I even standing here?' she wondered to herself. She was about to say that she was going to go inside when he started to lean down, his face getting closer to hers. Just as their lips were about to connect, she pushed him away and slapped him, before rushing inside.
Nick stood on the doorstep, in shock, "Ouch."
...Watching and waiting Ooh, she's sitting with you But her eyes are on the door...
...If you're ready for love You ain't gonna get too far...
