Title: Standards

Rating: PG-13 very subtle femslash
Summary: A little character study of Anna. Anna/Summer-ish
Disclaimer: I own nothing...
Notes: I can't decide how I feel about Anna. Anna is a real spitfire and Summer is a completely engaging and a wonderful character and I really want the show to get more into her background ... And Seth and Summer bring the show to a whole other level of awesome-ness, but I kinda feel sorry for Anna. :( Anyone else?
Her clothes come in shades that defy the clearly defined standards in the secret Newport rich-bitch handbook and she doesn't care. She doesn't adhere to standards and codes and order.
She is unique.
She can get away with unique and different and maybe even eccentric in Pittsburgh, but Orange County had its own little whispers of etiquette. And she doesn't know them. She can't hear them.
Seth sure as hell won't tell her because, apparently, he's just as deaf. And maybe that's why she resents the way he looks at Summer. Because she epitomizes style and order and standards. Summer's clean, rich lines of party dresses, seamless walk and demure laughter, makeAnna choke on her wit.
It all makes Anna sick.
It's so fake.
So unoriginal.
Or, so she tells herself.
And even when Summer walks by, swishing her hips, and the subtle breeze tickles her nose with the scent of orange blossom, Anna does not look up.
She does not want to see the standard, the order, the stripped code of beauty that radiates from Summer. She does not want to be like Seth --aware and unaware at the same time. Straining to hear and not getting the words right.
She is unique.
She is nothing like Seth.
She does not like Summer. She can't.
She doesn't adhere to standards and codes and order.
end.
