“Fine but what do I get if I don’t get detention again? I mean that’s gotta be worth something right?”

Spencer’s eyebrows raised but she decided to play along. “Why Ms. Davies, whatever could you mean?”

Ashley lowered her voice and huskily replied, “Well I can think of a few things, one involves a sponge, a big tub of water, and something a little dirty I don’t know if you’d be into it though …my car needs to be washed! Oh or I have some math homework you could do” Ashley said seductively.

“Ugh Ash!” the blonde exclaimed, “There is no way you’re getting me to do another math assignment for you!”

The two girls grinned at one another. “I wish it was always like this” Ashley replied after a moment. Spencer nodded her head, agreeing with the brunette. “I can’t believe we’ve been able to keep this a secret for a whole week so far.”

“You know in some places Ash, a week isn’t a very long time” Spencer replied.

“When I have to keep my hands off of you Carlin, a week is a very long time”. Ashley smiled brightly, pleased with herself when Spencer started to blush.

“But seriously Spence, sometimes I don’t know how we do it. We’ll be in English Literature and as Mr. Fulton continues to go on about Chaucer and the Canterbury Tales, all I can think of is how I’d rather be Canterburying your tail”.

“Ok that was a horrible attempt at a sexual insinuation Ash”.

“Yeah but what can I say, my mind just turns to mush when I think about you”.

“Oh great, so I make you stupider by the minute? Maybe we should rethink this whole spending time with each other alone after school thing.”

“No way Spence, I’d go crazy if I didn’t get to see you like this, all alone, in a car in the woods where some crazy ax murderer could easily come and kill us and no one would hear our screams.”

“Geez what a pleasant image Ash.”

“Haha you know you love it”.

Spencer laughed and then turned to Ashley and looked at her seriously. “I know it’s hard, but we have to keep us quiet for awhile. I’m not ready to tell anyone yet.”
