Ashley Davies sat in her car wondering for the millionth time what exactly she was doing here.  This is not who she is.  This is not what the too-cool-for-school-undefined-daughter-of-a-rock-star Ashley Davies does.  And to make matters worse…the reason she was doing it was even more unbelievable…She was attending a school dance because a girl she was crushing on persuaded her to. 

Erase that.

Spencer Carlin asked her to.

‘Ah…my my my no surprise sweet little Spencer is into these types of things,’ thought Ashley as she checked her hair and makeup once more in the rear view window before exiting her Porsche.  She took a deep breath trying to convince herself that everything was going to be okay.

earlier that night

RING RING

“Hello?”

“Hey Ashley its Spencer…”

Ashley smiled to herself as she played with the pen in her hand poised over the journal she had been writing in.  Ashley had been having kind of a dull night but this phone call seemed to make all that dullness disappear.  She moved over to her comfy chair and snuggled in as she practically purred into the phone.

“Hey Spencer…having fun with the rest of the student body?”

“Not really…its like a feeding ground for teenage hormones.”

Ashley laughed as she listened to Spencer’s sweet voice do its best attempt to sound annoyed.  She could almost picture Spencer pouting on her end of the phone and Ashley thought it was the cutest thing she had ever seen.

“See what happens when you don’t listen to good advice and you go to one of those stupid school functions anyway…”

“Well the music is okay…but Clay and Glen ditched me pronto and now I’m stuck here all by my lonesome…”

“Well if you want to escape you can come here…”

Spencer smiled.  She liked Ashley in a way that she didn’t quite understand but wasn’t very afraid of.  Yet.  Spencer knew that Ashley was gay and she knew that Ashley had somewhat of a ‘reputation’ but she wasn’t going to let that stand in the way of her making a friend.  Besides, there was something about the way Ashley looked at her every once in a while that made Spencer’s heart go thump thump just a little bit faster.  She had an idea.
