After school everyone got together at Ashley’s house and gathered around the TV in her living room. Ashley was cuddled up next to Spencer on the loveseat, Clay and Chelsea were on the couch and Kyla laid on Aiden on the floor. Jen wasn’t there yet, but they started the movie. The doorbell rang and Ashley went to the door.

Jennifer: “Sorry I’m late. I brought popcorn.” Ashley let her in and closed the door. Ashley took the popcorn, went to the kitchen and made it. She came back and Jennifer was sitting next to Spencer on the love seat, just staring at her while Spencer watched the movie.

Ashley: “Um, excuse me, I was sitting here.” she snapped

Jennifer: “Sorry.” she got up and sat on the floor. Ashley took her seat next to Spencer.

Spencer: “What’s with you?”

Ashley: “Nothing. Just…” She was going to say something, but shook her head no decided against it. “Lets just get back to the movie.” Spencer looked at her cautiously then rested her head in the crook of Ashley’s neck and looked back at the T.V.

Jennifer would occasionally look back at Spencer, and it didn’t go unnoticed by Ashley. They passed the popcorn around and watched the movie, only Ashley nor Jennifer paid much attention to it. The movie was over and everyone was leaving. Aiden had already left and Kyla went to her room and everyone else was standing in the foyer.

Clay: “So Spence, you need a ride home?”

Spencer: “No, I’m gonna spend the night here.”

Clay: “Alright, see you tomorrow.” he and Chelsea left.

Jennifer: “Wow, that movie was really good.”

Ashley: “Yea you’d know if you would have paid attention to it.” she mumbled. Spencer glared at her.

Spencer: “What?”

Ashley: “Oh, nothing.”

Jennifer: “Well, thanks for having me over.”

Ashley: “Yea.” she said with a disgusted look

Spencer: “See you tomorrow.” Jennifer walked out.

Ashley: “Hopefully not.” Spencer heard her this time.

Spencer: “What is with you?” she asked puzzled.

Ashley: “I don’t like her.”

Spencer: “You barely even know her.”

Ashley: “Exactly, so why’d you even invite her to my house?”

Spencer: “First of all you said it was ok, and second, she’s new, she could use some friends.”

Ashley: “Only, she’s not looking for friends, Spencer. A girlfriend maybe, my girlfriend, but not friends.”

Spencer: “What are you talking about?”

Ashley: “Spencer, she likes you!”

Spencer: “And what makes you say that?” she asked in disbelief

Ashley: “Hmm, let me think. Maybe it’s the fact that she couldn’t keep her eyes off you through the entire movie!” she said sarcastically

Spencer: “Are you sure you weren’t just imagining it because you don’t like her?”

Ashley: “Spencer are you serious? You don’t believe me?” she asked in disbelief

Spencer: “I believe that your jealous.”

Ashley: “God Spencer, for an extremely smart girl, you can be so naïve!” she stomped off to her room.
