Ashley sat excitedly in her seat waiting for the writing assignment to be passed back. She spent a full week, Monday thru Sunday working non stop, even passed up one of the biggest ending of the year parties which she found completely ridicules as the school still had three to four months left. She put everything into it that she could, turned it in on Monday the following week and now it was Friday, time to see what her hard work produced.

The brunette kept glancing over to her on break girlfriend, the two girls’ were separated by two rows but they sat in the same chair, forth in the row toward the back. Spencer kept her head down, slouched so far down in the chair as if she was trying to disappear, hair hung over her face hiding her eyes, it killed Ashley to see her like that but there was nothing she could do.

“Davies,” the teacher called, Ashley jumped from her seat and pretty much rushed up the aisle to grab her paper, “Carlin,” the teacher said as Ashley was on her way back to her seat.

Once she sat down she stared at the red ‘B+’ on the paper, a smile reached ear to ear, so happy that the work she put in paid off. Glancing over she tried to read Spencer’s facial expression to determine what the younger girl had got but only saw emptiness.

Spencer felt eyes on her yet again and she quite honestly was getting fed up with Ashley staring at her since she was the one determined to break up, blue eyes met brown in an intense gaze, Ashley held her paper up and mouthed ‘B+’ with a twinkle in her eyes. Spencer nodded her approval her lips betraying her and turned upward for a some what half smile, even if she was upset at the girl she was proud of her for getting such a decent grade, “You?” Ashley mouthed.

“A-“ Spencer mouthed back than returned to staring at her desk, slipping the assignment into her note book, totally missing the disappointed expression on Ashley’s face because yet again the blond ignored her.

“Remember to read chapter 19 thru 23 tonight, there will be a quiz tomorrow,” the teacher spoke her parting words as students piled out of the class room.
