two cheers for high school!

I woke up in the morning and Spencer was still sleeping…she looked so calm and adorable just lying there in my bed. I didn’t get much sleep that night because I wanted to make sure Spencer was still there and that I wasn’t dreaming. But I got out of bed and went into my bathroom to put in my contacts

“Ashley?” I heard a sleepy voice mutter then I stuck my head out my bathroom door and Spencer was sitting up in my bed

“hey sleepyhead” I told her smiling

“since when do you wake up before noon?” she asked me

“I really didn’t sleep that much…” I told her “…I kept waking up making sure you were still sleeping next to me…” I said sitting on the bed next to her and she kissed me softly letting it linger “…I like waking up next to you” I told her “…I really missed it”

“me too…” she told me kissing me again

“so…what’s going on between us?” I asked her “I mean I don’t want to make any assumptions”

“Ash…Kristin broke up with me last night…”

“I know that’s why I’m saying we can wait or whatever…” I told her

“I don’t want to wait…” she told me “…can we be together again? Just not tell people around school…I mean they’ll be talking about me enough”

“yeah” I told her kissing her again “that wont be easy for me though” I admitted

“I know…you put your arms all around me even when Kristin and me were still dating…” she told me

“that was like two days ago” I said laughing “…but you’re right” I added kissing her again

“I missed kissing you…”

“just kissing?” I asked her

“okay I missed like everything” she told me making me laugh and she laughed too “you know I really do believe you”

“with what?” I asked her

“that you’re not that girl from a year ago” she told me

“I’m really not…” I told her “…but I do still get jealous, and protective…and I have a temper, but I don’t do stupid stuff like I used to”

“except for taunting people” she said

“okay except that…” I replied “…can I at least walk into school with you tomorrow?” I asked her

“uh…I think I can swing that” she told me smiling then I laid back in my bed with her and she curled up next to me

“I mean…are you ever going to get up?” I asked

“no…I like being here with you…it’s like a whole other world…”

“yeah I know what you mean…”

Spencer left my house around two in the after noon because she had a bunch of homework to do whereas I had zero because I was currently on senior slide. The rest of Sunday was a complete bore…I went out with my friend Aiden whom I told everything about Spencer and I to then I came home and chilled at my house.

As soon as Monday came all I wanted to do was see Spencer again. When I got to school she pulled up next to my car and we parked next to each other then I got out of my car and went over and sat in the passenger side of hers “what are you doing?” she asked confused

“giving you a kiss…” I told her kissing her and letting it linger

“oh…” she replied after she had pulled away and smiled, then we got out of her car and started to walk into school together, but we didn’t hold hands or anything…I think we just should have because people probably already knew what was going on between us and what happened at the party Saturday night.

“so did you get your second semester schedule yet?” I asked her walking through the parking lot

“uh yeah I got it on Friday” she told me “I have physics two Ablock…could it get any worse?” she said

“wait…Wednesday or Tuesday?” I asked her

“uh…Tuesday I think…”

“so we’re in the same physics class…” I told her

“really?” she asked

“uh yeah I’m pretty sure…” I told her putting my hand in the small of her back

“Ashley…” she said walking away from me

“sorry…damn” I replied “look sharing affection in public is what I do…it’ll take some getting used to…”

“just don’t tell anyone we’re dating” she told me

“it’s like you’re embarrassed of me or something…” I told her

“I’m not…just think of how that looks for me…” she started “…I have sex with you while I’m dating the hottest and nicest girl at Mags, then you beat the shit out of her at a party and now I date you…” she explained

“well if she’s so nice and hot then maybe you should go date her” I snapped then I walked faster towards school and I ignored Spencer because every time she talked about me it’s like she doesn’t want to be with me…

I had free block in the morning after my first class…it was the same free block as Spencer and she had that free period with her friend Kelsey who she wasn’t talking to and her other two best friends…

“so what’s the deal?” my friend Erin asked me

“what do you mean?” I asked her pausing my Ipod as we sat at one of the tables

“uh Spencer…I heard about all the shit that went down Saturday night with you and Kristin, then Kristin finding out you two slept together…” she told me

“I don’t even fucking know…” I told her “Spencer’s the most complicated girl I’ve ever known”

“then why stay caught up on her?” she asked

“she’s cute, funny…hot as hell…” I told her while looking at Spencer as she talked to her friends Brett and Megan

“you’re drooling…” Erin told me and I glared at her “…I’m kidding” she said looking through my Ipod and she put on a song by Avril Lavigne “oh, this is just like Spencer…” she said putting on the song One of Those Girls

“shut up…it is not…” I told her

“she’s one of those girls, nothing but trouble…before you know it she’ll be gone. You’ll be broke and she’ll be gone? Those are the lyrics right?” she asked me

“seriously stop…”

“do you have any idea how much she tools you around?” she asked

“Erin…look I don’t want to deal with this right now…I have enough relationship problems going on” I told her

“relationship? What?” she asked

“please don’t tell anyone” I told her “at least not now”

“I wont say anything until it’s on facebook…” she told me laughing and I laughed too then I looked over at Spencer and she was looking over at me

***************************************************************************************************************

“she’s always talking about me…” I told my friend Megan when I looked over at Ashley and she was looking at me

“that’s because she loves you” Megan told me

“no she doesn’t…” I replied looking back down at my book

“uh…blatant lie” Brett said “so…when did you cheat on Kristin?” he asked

“what?” I asked him caught off guard

“the school knows…” he told me

“how though?” I asked

“look people aren’t surprised…” Megan said “…you and Kelsey not talking, you and Ashley always around each other…the fight and Kristin breaking up with you…”

“I can’t believe my best friend would just stab me in the back like that…” I told them talking about Kelsey “she did it because she likes Kristin…and she wants the attention from her”

“I don’t know about that one…she was looking out for her brother’s friend…” Megan said

“indirect friend…” I told her “…I’m her best friend…and she pulled that stupid shit…” I said “…do you know if Ashley’s said anything?”

“uh no…no one ever talks to her unless they’re on the basketball team…” Brett said “…you know the home opener this weekend is going to be out of control, like the whole school is coming to see Ashley play Kristin…” he told me

“great” I said “hey I’ll be back, I have to go get help on this math homework” I told them walking away and I walked right past Ashley and Erin then I went by my locker and Ashley came up by me about a minute later

“what’s wrong?” she asked me being quiet

“everyone knows…” I said pissed off “…and you completely ditched me this morning…”

“I told you they would Spence…” she told me “…and I’m sorry”

“look I’m getting enough shit from everyone else…I don’t need it from you too” I told her

“I’m sorry” she said then I shut my locker and looked at her

“why are you with me?” I asked her “like why do you want to date the girl everyone’s talking about?”

“because I love you…” she told me “…and last time I checked, loving you was enough”

Normally I’m against showing any type of affection towards Ashley in school and stuff because so many people don’t think we should be dating. But after hearing her say she loved me out loud somewhere people could hear I had to kiss her

“nice surprise…” she said making me smile

“don’t get used to it…” I told her then she pulled me into a hug

“you sure you’re okay?” she asked me kissing the top of my head

“yeah I’m sure…” I replied “thanks”

“meet me in my car after my practice?” she asked

“yeah…six right?”

“yeah” she said kissing me quickly then she walked away back into the student center with Erin and I went to go get help with my homework

The rest of the school day was awkward…I had two classes with Kelsey and we usually sit by each other, but we didn’t today. I hate not having my best friend to talk to, it’s just I don’t know how I can trust her…then again how can a lot of people trust me?

“Spence…what’s going on with you and Kels?” some girl named Rachel asked coming up to me

“don’t worry about it…” I told her walking past the student center

“hey…” Ashley said but I couldn’t really hear her “Spencer!” she said and I turned to look at her and she ran up to me and her friends just watched

“oh…hey” I replied in a softer voice

“you okay?” she asked me as we started walking out of school

“uh not really…” I told her

“baby…” she started “…don’t cry, I hate when you cry” she told me

“I’m not crying” I said as we were walking towards the parking lot “I just miss her…”

“uh…who?” she asked nervous

“Kelsey…” I told her

“oh…I thought you mean Kristin…”

“no I could care less…I trid to call her and apologize, but she just ignores my calls…”

“you call her?” she asked me

“I just hate how we left things…”

“and what if you sort that out? What happens to us? You go back to her?” she asked

“no…Ashley I’m not going back with Kristin…” I tried to tell her and she didn’t say anything “…look, I’m sorry the circumstances of us being together sucks…”
