Spencer and Melody were walking through the halls of King High.  “So are you and Ashley alright now?” Spencer asked with curiosity.

“Yeah, we are,” answered Melody.  “We are more than okay.  We are great.”  A smile formed on Melody’s lips.  “I made her do a lot of groveling in order for us to stay together.”  Melody noticed that Spencer had no emotion written across her face.  “Are you okay with Ashley and me still being together since you and her have that falling out?”

“I will be,” Spencer stated.  “It’s just something I’ll have to get used to, that’s all.” 

“Don’t say it like that,” responded Melody with a sigh.  “You make it sound like a chore for you to like Ashley.”

“Look it doesn’t matter if I like her,” Spencer pointed out.  “I could just tolerate her appearance.  Besides, I’m not the one who’s dating her.  You are the one dating Ashley so it matters if you do.  If you don’t then set her free.  You won’t be missing out on much.”  Melody sighed in exasperation. 

“Could you try to be civil to my girlfriend?” asked Melody.  Spencer groaned.  “It really is important to me that you two are able to get along with one another.”

“You may have forgiven her for what she did, but I haven’t,” Spencer admitted.  “Trust has to be earned and she lost my trust.  You don’t just trust someone again for doing you a favor.  It doesn’t work that way.”  Ashley appeared and put her arms around Spencer and Melody.  Spencer looked annoyed.

“Hey girls,” Ashley said.  “How are my two favorite girls doing today?”  Ashley kissed Melody on her cheek.

“Alright since I get to see your beautiful face,” replied Melody with a smile.  “Right, Spence?  Doesn’t Ashley’s face help brighten up your day?”  Spencer rolled her eyes.

“I’m doing fine, I suppose,” Spencer stated.  “It depends on how you define the word fine really.  You want to know what I mean by that, Davies?”

“Uh sure,” said a hesitant Ashley.  “I want to see you express yourself.”

“Alright, I will,” Spencer replied.  “My day was a lot better before I saw your face, Ashley.” 

“Spence,” said Melody.

“What?” Spencer asked annoyed.  “You want me to lie to the girl? She wanted me to express myself and I’m expressing myself.”
