Hoops – (Chapter: 12: Wake Up Call)
When I got back to my room that night, I walked in to see Ashley sitting on her bed on her laptop.
“Hi,” I said, as she looked up from the screen.
“Hey, how was the rest of your dinner?”
“It was fine. I have something for you.” I pulled Ashley’s change from my pocket and set it on her desk. “Rebecca tried to have dinner on you, but I was able to pry it out of her hands.”
“You brought me change?”
“Yeah, of course. Why wouldn’t I?”
She looked at me for a moment as if I had grown two heads. I was so confused. Maybe she didn’t want her change, but what else was I supposed to do with it?
“You’re a strange girl, Spencer Carlin.”
I felt like I should feel insulted, but I didn’t actually feel insulted. There was something in the way she said it. It almost sounded like a compliment.
It was well past midnight, so I hurried through my nightly routine to get ready for bed. From the clicking of her keyboard, I could tell Ashley had gone back to working on her laptop. By the time I got back from taking a quick shower, Ashley’s light was off and she was already laying in bed. I crawled under my own covers, but as the time dragged on I realized I was losing my battle to fall asleep. There was just too much on my mind.
“Ashley,” I called out. I could tell by her shifting and shuffling she hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
“Yeah?” she replied groggily.
“I’m sorry I let you drive home by yourself.”
It took her awhile to respond.
“It’s okay, just go to sleep. It’s late.”
“Ashley,” I called out again a little while later.
“What, Spence?” she said, her voice muffled by her pillow.
“Um, I had fun today.”
“You did?” she asked, sounding much more awake. I could hear the surprise in her voice, and it was no less than my own surprise at having admitted that I actually enjoyed hanging out with Ashley. Usually, I spent my Saturday’s walking around campus, listening to music, practicing alone, or reading in the courtyard. I hadn’t expected doing something different for a change would be so enjoyable.
