Ashley’s Pov

I awoke the next morning and started getting ready for school. I guess I was a lot more tired that I realized, because as soon as I climbed the stairs to my room I passed out, face first on my bed. I didn’t even set an alarm for school. I just happened to wake up on time. Unlucky me.

School was halfway over and I hadn’t seen Spencer anywhere. If I didn’t know any better I’d say she was avoiding me. I thought I saw her earlier, but whoever it was turned around and went the other way. It couldn’t have been her.

I was standing outside after one of my classes (I didn’t pay attention to which one it was) and I saw Spencer talking to Aiden and Madison. I didn’t want to talk to those two, but it seemed to be my only option to see Spencer. I figured a few rude comments from cheerbitch would be worth seeing her. I was off to the side pretending to talk on my cell while I worked up the courage to go over. I didn’t want to seem like a stalker, so I made myself look busy. Finally I walked over and greeted Spencer.

Ashley: “ Hey, Where have you been all day?”
Spencer: “We do have that thing called school.”
Ashley: “Please, not here. You just show up and after four years and they let you out. Doing school’s totally overrated…. So you know them?”

I couldn’t help but ask. I never miss a chance to fight with Madison.

Madison: “Good question. You know her?”
Spencer: “You guys know each other?”

She’s so oblivious. Her innocence is new to me, but I’ll admit. I definitely like it.

Aiden: “Hey Ash. How are you?”
Ashley: “Good, you?”
Madison: “He’s fine. Ya know, It doesn’t surprise me that you know Ashley. Everybody does. In the most intimate ways.”
Ashley: “It is so good to see you Madison. Ya know I was actually just telling Spencer here yesterday about how you are the queen cheerleader, ya know high royalty, but uh that isn’t exactly true is it? You’re more like a royal b!tch.”
Aiden: “Hey, come on you guys. Don’t.”
Madison: “Careful who you hook up with Spencer. It has a way of getting out… Bye”
Spencer: “Ok, what was that all about?”
Ashley: “Nothing she’s a bitch.”
Spencer: “No, not her. Him.”
Ashley: “ What!?”
Spencer: “You and him. That’s what”
Ashley : “Nothing.”
Spencer: “You’re lying”
Ashley: “No, I’m not. Hey, I freaked you out yesterday didn’t I?”
Spencer: “No, not really”
Ashley: “Come on.”
Spencer: “Yeah, you did.”
Ashley: “I knew it. Uh, sorry. My shrink thinks it’s because I like to be different. I just think it’s because, well I like to freak people out.”
Spencer: “Well, you succeeded.“
Ashley: “Thanks, that’s good? Right? Ok well anyways I had a totally above average day yesterday."
Spencer: “Me too, thanks.”
Ashley: “No problem.”
