Ch 2

Spencer’s POV

                Aiden decided to take me out to eat sushi with him. He said there was some really good place nearby. When we got there, he started asking me how UCLA was, even though today we were only just settling into our dorms. I picked at my food thoughtfully. “The dorms are nice, they’re spacious, comfy, and alright.” “What about your roommate?” he asked, while shoving rice up into his mouth and staring at me from his rice bowl. I shook my head in amusement. Boys. “My roommate?” I paused to think. What should I tell him about Ashley? She was nice, funny, charming, and pretty. Okay, well, I shouldn’t really include pretty on account of the fact that she’s gay… because then Aiden’s going to think I find her attractive or something. Which is so not the case. Should I tell him about how I found out the boxes I was helping over to her desk were full of PORN? “Uh, well, her name’s Ashley Davies. She’s from California too, and she’s gonna major in film making, and she’s really nice. I think she’s cool. Only…” I said, trailing off. “Only what?” he asked, popping a roll in his mouth and then taking a sip from his drink. “She’s gay.”

                “NO WAY!” he said, beginning to laugh. “That is so hot!” Like I said, boys. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. “Maybe for you, Aiden.” I huffed. “I don’t think you’d find it ‘so hot’ if a gay guy was your roommate, now would you?” “No!” he responded. “Ok, that’s different. That would just be gross.” “Uh huh…” “I’m just kidding, babe. I mean, you guys get along and all, right?” “Yeah. I like Ashley.” “Better not like her too much, Spencer, or else I’m gonna think she’s seduced you or turned you gay or something.” He responded with a smirk. I laughed. “No way, Aiden. First of all, I’m not into her like that. Otherwise, I’d have told you today that I have a NEW love interest. And second of all, I don’t think you can actually ‘turn someone gay’. I mean, if that was true, don’t you think all the gay people would have ‘turned’ us all gay already?” Aiden merely shrugged as he took another bite of seaweed. Sometimes I think it’s pointless trying to explain something to him. Another reason why he didn’t make it to UCLA with me. “Ok, the point is Aiden, we don’t have anything to worry bout Ashley, because you’re the only one I love.” I said sweetly. His face lit up. I think I actually said something he could comprehend! Alright, I should stop thinking mean thoughts about Aiden. He can be a bit of a total bonehead sometimes, but he’s really sweet, and he loves me. I mean, you can’t have it all, can you? Aiden reached over and put his hand on top of mine. “You’re the only one I love too, Spence.”
