The next day in class; their teacher had handed out worksheets which he allowed students to work together. Spencer had look back toward Ashley and noticed she was toiling away and she noticed she wasn’t working with anyone. Spencer took this as her chance.

Robert smiled to himself as he saw Spencer get out of her seat; he thought she was going to take her seat next to him like she had done before but he was sadly mistaken when she had taken the seat in front of Ashley. He was perplexed as to why she chose Ashley instead of him. He watched as the two girls talked easily while they continued to work on the worksheet. He paid no attention to who had taken the seat in front of him until they cleared their throat.

“Looks like she stole your girlfriend,” Spencer noticed the girl’s voice from yesterday; she was the one who had been bothering Robert. She noticed that Ashley had stuck her tongue out at the girl; an act which made Spencer chuckle to herself.

“Katy; you know she’s not my girlfriend,” Robert was aggravated and slightly hurt that Spencer had chosen Ashley over him.

The girl turned toward Ashley and remarked; “Now I can’t copy off of you.”

“Oh; how could I not think about how your grade was so dependent on me? I’m so sorry Katy,” Ashley replied sarcastically.

“It’s fine; I’ll just copy off of Robby. Just don’t let it happen again,” She mocked hurt; the group shared a small laugh and continued joking with one another.

“Robby, what are you going to do now? Ashley has won over the heart of your girlfriend?” Robert rolled his eyes once again at Katy’s annoying comments she kept pestering him and Ashley about their relationship with Spencer.

“Katy; can you please drop it?” Ashley tried to ask politely but meanwhile she wanted to yell at her friend.

“Fine then be that way. Spencer; who do you prefer?” She questioned leaving the others to roll their eyes.

Spencer froze and stared wide-eyed at her paper; she knew the answer but she did not want anyone to know just yet.

“Well Spencer; who would you prefer?” Katy pressured further.
