Glen gave Spencer a ride to school. “Thanks for the ride,” Spencer stated.

“Not so fast,” said Glen. We need to talk.

“Okay, so what do we need to talk about?” Spencer asked with curiosity.

“About you and Ashley,” answered Glen. Why are you running away from her?

“I am not,” Spencer protested.

“Doesn’t Ashley usually give you a ride to school though?” questioned Glen. I haven’t heard you seen you talking about her or haven’t seen her around in the last couple of days. What happened that night that I gave you a ride so you could meet Ashley for dinner?

“I cut Ashley out of my life,” Spencer responded simply.

“You’re kidding, right?” asked Glen. You’re cutting off a girl you’ve had a ten year friendship with, sis?

“Nope, I’m not kidding,” Spencer answered. I am dead serious.

“Why are you running away from love?” said Glen with a sigh. What are you so damn afraid of?

“Ash and I wouldn’t work out anyway,” Spencer replied.

“You two sound a lot alike,” noted Glen.

“What?” Spencer asked surprised.

“So you rather not be in each other’s lives, than afraid of taking a risk and following your own hearts for a change,” answered Glen.

“It’s not only that,” Spencer sighed.

“Now we’re getting somewhere, Spence,” responded Glen. What’s up?

“She’s in love with me and I don’t even know whether or not I feel the same way,” Spencer explained.

“Just ask yourself some questions like if you could you imagine a life without Ashley in it,” said Glen. Is she the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think before you go to sleep?

“Alright, I will,” replied Spencer. Thanks for the advice, Glen.

“You’re welcome,” Glen stated. Spencer saw Kyla and Aiden at the front steps of King High and went towards them.

“Hey guys,” said Spencer.

“Aiden, could you give me a minute to talk to Spencer?” Kyla asked.

“Sure,” answered Aiden. I’ll leave you two alone. I’ll see you in class. Aiden kissed Kyla on her cheek and walked away.

“I thought you weren’t dating Aiden,” Spencer stated confused.

“Don’t ask,” said Kyla with an exasperated sigh. I have an idea for getting rid of him. He’ll back off once he realizes dating me wasn’t all it was hyped up to be. I know you’re going to ask about Ashley, so ask away, but if you say something stupid I will hit you.
