That day was just the beginning. The next day was far worse. The hell I put Ashley through was unimaginable. I am surprised she put up with it for so long. A part of me believes she did because she felt guilty about what happened at prom. I twisted her mind so much that I made her believe that what had happened on prom night was her fault. I knew it wasn’t. It was his. But at the time none of that mattered. All that mattered was hurting Ashley. And on the second day, I had achieved some of what I wanted to do to her.

FLASHBACK

(Spencer was in the quad with, Jake, a guy from one of her classes. They were at the table laughing when Spencer spotted Ashley walking across the quad. She noticed how Ashley’s shoulders slumped forward, and how she looked down as she walked. Ashley got closer, and Spencer decided to have a little fun.)

Spencer: Well, look it what we have here. It’s the town whore.

(Jake looked at Spencer with furrowed brows.)

Jake: Aren’t you two going out?

Spencer: No. Please, that was just a phase, and I am so over it now. She was just someone to pass the time with.

(Ashley has tears forming in her eyes again.)

Ashley: Can’t you just leave me alone? What is your problem? I told you I was sorry…what more do you fucking want from me!

Spencer: I want you to hurt as much as I do, and I won’t rest until your soul is dead.

(Madison watched the encounter from across the quad. She walked over to Ashley, and laid a comforting hand on her shoulder.)

Madison: Come on Ash, let’s get out of here.

Spencer: This is just too much. The school bitch with the school slut. This is a Kodak moment.

Madison: Why are you doing this Spencer? Did you feel good about yourself?

Spencer: Yea, I do. Damn good.

Madison: Your bitter, and nothing but a cold hearted bitch.

Spencer: Guess I learned from the best didn’t I.

Madison: If it makes you feel better to blame someone than go ahead and blame me. But you can’t run from your feeling forever. Sometimes, Spencer, people just have to grow up.
