"I do to have a backbone." spencer repeated quietly. It was an obviouse battle that she had lost.

Ashley let out a sarcastic laugh. "You’re completely right. And i suggest you search through the closet you once ‘came out’ of, and try to find it." With that said, ashley got in her car and drove away.

That was the last time she saw ashley. They both began taking alternate routes to get to their classes, and would gather all of their books at the begining of the day to avoid the akward tension that would be there if they stood next to eachother.

Spencer was standing in the foodcourt with her mother in a line to get a slice of pizza when she realized her jacket was missing. "Shoot." she said "I think i left my jacket in the changing room upstairs."

"Oh, do you want me to go with you to get it?" Paula offered her unneeded services.

Spencer shot her mom an evil look. "No mom, i think i can handle this alone!" Spencer walked away and headed towards the elevators. She pressed the ‘up’ button and waited patiently for her ride upstairs. A loud ‘ding’ and the elevator doors opened as people poured out. Once every person was gone from the elevator, spencer stepped inside pressing the number 2.

She heard a girls voice shouting a little bit. "Wait! Hold the elevator." the girl said. Spencer stuck her arm over the doors as they were closing. They oppened back up and she saw ashley enter with a suprised gaze upon her face.

She felt her heart drop as she noticed ashley not quite inside yet, but it didnt look like she was going to be. Ashley was contemplating wether or not it would be worth it. As the doors began once again slidding shut. ashley made her way inside.

The tension was thick and the air had become uneasy to breathe, burning their lungs with each intake of breath. The elevator jerked and stopped without a ‘ding’ sound to greet them. The doors didnt slide open and spencer looked worried as ashley looked agrivated. "Why did we stop?" spencer asked as she began to look at the floor as if she would find the answer there.
