“Have you talked to her about it?” he asked.

            “Not recently,” I said. “If we go out tonight I’m going to talk to her about it. If she won’t do anything about, I will.”

            “Ashley,” Aiden said, “you do realize that Josh is like three times your size.”

            I looked over at the picnic table that Josh and his friends were sitting at. It was true. He was about three times my size. He was about 6’ 2” and 250 lbs. The slicked back short, black hair and light blue eyes are what got him all the girls. All of them except me, of course.

            “What am I supposed to do?” I asked him.

            “Let someone his size deal with him,” he smiled.

            “Fine,” I said. “But not until I talk to Spencer.”

            “Ok,” he said. The bell rang. “Ugh. I don’t want to go to History.”

            “I don’t want to be here,” I said. “But I have to deal with it, so you have to deal with History.”

            He laughed and we both got up from the table and went to class. After another two grueling classes, school was finally over. I went to my locker and grabbed a few things. I looked around for Spencer but didn’t see her. I shrugged it off and went home.

            I got home and sat around for a while. A little after four, Spencer called.

            “Hey,” I said answering the phone.

            “Hey,” she said.

            “Where were you after school?” I asked. “I waited for like five minutes but I never saw you.”

            “Sorry,” she said. “Josh and I were talking.”

            “Oh,” I said. “So, are you going with me tonight?”

            “Yeah,” she said. “I talked him into letting me.”

            “Awesome,” I said.

            “When do you want me to come over?” she asked.

            “Now, of course,” I said laughing. “Bring over whatever you’re gonna wear tonight and you can get ready over here.”

            “Ok,” she laughed. “I’ll be over in a few.”

            “Do you need a ride?” I asked.

            “No,” she said. “Glen is going somewhere so he’s gonna drop me off.”

            “Ok,” I said. “See you in a few.”
