CHAPTER FIVE

ASHLEY’S POV:

I calmly walk over to my desk and set my things down. I can’t help but sneak a couple of glances at her. I even caught her doing the same thing to me. I check my watch and notice that class was supposed to start 5 minutes ago. Mr. Barker must be running late like always. I wonder what-(my thoughts are interrupted by the most beautiful voice.)

Spencer: Excuse me, this class i supposed to start at 9:30 right?

Ashley: (Oh no, she is talking to me and now I have forgotten how to form words. Shit. Say something Ashley, she is just a girl and you are the princess of this school. Pull yourself together woman!) Umm…yeah. Mr. Barker has a bad habbit of being late though. You were in my English class right?

Spencer: (Oh my gosh, she is probably replaying my humiliating fall in her head over and over again. Now she is always going to remember me as the girl who tripped over nothing in English class. Now would be a good time to answer her.) Yeah, I just moved here from Ohio. I’m Spencer Carlin. (I hold my hand out for her to shake.)

Ashley: (Okay so this is usually the time when I would give her a look of disgust and act like she isn’t good enough to lick the dirt off my Gucci shoes. But I can’t help it myself I have to be nice to her. I shake her hand.) I’m Ashley Davies. It’s nice to meet you. So how do you like California?

Spencer: It’s pretty nice so far, from what I have seen. I miss home every now and then though.

Ashley: Have you had much time to take in the sights? (‘take in the sights?’ who says that?!)

Spencer: No not really.  Every since we got here we have been unpacking and getting the house set up. Hopefully this weekend my borthers and I can go check out L.A.

Mr. Barker: Sorry I’m late class. Okay I’m not, but it sounded sincere. (The class laughs) So does anyone know what we are suppose to be doing today?

That is one thing I love about Mr. Barker, he is so laid back about the class. Most of the imte we do actual work but he makes it fun for us. A lot of the time he puts us into pairs and has us work on worksheets. I hope he pairs me with Spencer.
