Glen and Ashley were in a bookstore. “I have a question to ask you,” Glen began.

“Sure,” said Ashley. What’s up?

“What are we doing in a bookstore?” Glen asked. Don’t tell me my sister made you start doing homework or something.

“This has nothing to do with school,” answered Ashley simply. I’m here on another mission.

“What are you looking for then, Ash?” Glen asked with curiosity. Ashley ignored Glen while she was looking for a book.

“Jackpot,” answered Ashley as she saw the book of interest.

“What book are you going to get?” Glen questioned as he attempted to snatch the book from Ashley’s hands.

“Nothing, nothing,” responded Ashley. It’s nothing of importance. Why did you tag along to begin with? You called me and said you had something to talk about concerning Spencer, which you have mentioned nothing about her yet.

“Yes, I haven’t forgotten,” Glen stated. Why haven’t you asked Spencer out yet?

“What?” asked Ashley caught off guard.

“You heard me,” Glen answered. I know that you like her, so what’s holding you back from dating her?

“I don’t like Spencer as more than a friend,” responded Ashley. You should stick to playing basketball since you would make a horrible detective, Carlin.

“I would not,” Glen protested. I may be an idiot at times, but I’m not blind, Ashley. Look, you’re the one who’s going to have to make the first move since we both know that if you wait for Spencer to do that, the chances of her making the first move are very slim to none. Spencer can be oblivious.

“I have no idea where you’re getting this from,” stated Ashley. Ashley went to pay for the book and Glen glanced at the book.

“Why are you buying a self-help book on love for then?” Glen mused.

“It’s for Kyla,” said Ashley. She’s got a major crush on Aiden and is trying to win him over. Kyla didn’t want to buy the book herself, since she was really lazy. You didn’t know that?

“Right,” Glen replied unconvinced as they left the bookstore. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you’ll wind up breaking up or something?

“Who says that I’m afraid?” asked Ashley.

“You can’t even admit that you have a thing for Spencer,” Glen answered simply. I never thought I would peg you as a shy girl. You hated Carmen as much as I did. I know you were practically doing back flips when you heard about their breakup.
