"What are you doing here?!" Spencer exclaimed as she jumped up out of her bed to give the brunette a hug. "I’m going to school here now! What are you doing here?" Laughed Kyla as she hugged Spencer back.

    "Uh, duh, I am going here too!" Spencer told her as she pulled away from the hug to look Kyla in the face. "Tell me you’re my roommate," ordered Spencer as she lowered herself back on the bed, sitting cross-legged. "I’m your new roommate!" Kyla said with an accomplished smile across her face. "How?!" Spencer blurted out. "I mean, how did this manage to happen? This is more than a coincidence… it has to be," she added. Kyla let out a soft laugh before answering, "Well….." she started, "Someone told me you were going to be going here and I decided to surprise you. I hope you don’t mind."

    Spencer didn’t mind, she actually got along very well with Kyla. "Of course not!" Spencer assured her as she played with the tassels on a random throw pillow that sat upon her bed. "This is so exciting! I have someone to do things with. I don’t have to be one of those loners in the cafeteria eating alone!" Spencer joked . Kyla let out a laugh, "That’s if I decide to go with you!" Kyla teased, sticking out her tongue to Spencer. "Hey! You better!" Spencer threatened as she threw the pillow in Kyla’s direction. "Bitch!" Kyla laughed before throwing it back to Spencer.

    "So, where are all of your things?" Spencer asked while looking around the half empty room. "Oh, well… I need to tell you something.." Kyla started as she sat next to Spencer on the bed. "Yeah?" Spencer asked with worried eyes. "You see… I needed help brining my things here and well….. Ashley is on her way here in the moving truck…" Kyla said as she searched Spencer’s eyes to read her reaction. "Oh…" Spencer said as she looked down at her hands. "Is the okay?" Kyla asked, still trying to find Spencer’s eyes. "..Yeah, of course." Spencer finally said. "We’re still friends– it’s perfectly okay." Spencer stated, hoping Kyla would believe her. "There is something else, though…" Kyla added. Spencer felt her heart race speed up. What could it be?! She thought to herself. She wondered if she could even handle seeing Ashley in person if even the thought of her being on her way to her dorm room made her heart race. "What is it?" Spencer finally asked as she looked up, meeting Kyla’s eyes. "She is bringing her new girlfriend." Kyla said as she placed her hand on  Spencer’s, hoping to comfort her. At that moment Spencer felt her heart drop to the bottom of her stomach; it would have been down to her feet and through the ground if she had been standing.

    Spencer couldn’t imagine Ashley with another girl. The thought alone was making her want to puke. This was the last thing that Spencer wanted. Spencer and Ashley were together off and on throughout high school and even through their whole senior year. Well, Spencer’s senior year since Ashley wasn’t going to school anymore — she had her GED. Their relationship wasn’t in serious terms, though. There were many times that Ashley went to Spencer telling her how much she loved her and only her, but Spencer found it hard trusting Ashley after what had happened with Aiden. Spencer would tell Ashley that she loved her too, but that she wanted to take it slow and not get too serious. Then, at Spencer’s graduation party Ashley gave her an ultimatum. She told Spencer she needed to make a choice: (1) Trust her and give her another chance to show her she really did love her enough to be hers, and only hers -or- (2) Lose her completely. Spencer told her she wasn’t ready, and that was the end of them seeing each other the way they used to. They were both heartbroken, but it seemed there was no other way around it — Ashley wanted Spencer completely, and Spencer was too scared to give her that. "Now look what happened" was all Spencer could think to herself.

    "Spencer?" A soft voice asked, "Are you okay?" Spencer came back to reality, noticing Kyla looking at her worriedly. Spencer offered a fake smile, "Yeah.. sorry, I don’t know where I went." she said as she looked back down to her hands. "You sure?" Kyla asked as she gave Spencer’s hand a gentle squeeze. Spencer smiled weakly and nodded. Kyla leaned in to give Spencer a comforting hug and just before they embraced they both jumped after hearing loud knocking on the door.

    They both knew exactly who it was.
