After school, Spencer waited for Ashley by her locker. The two only shared their first class together, yet Spencer walked with Ashley to each of hers. It was very hard to say no to her even if Spencer had not wanted to do it anyway. After Ashley’s comment in the bathroom, Spencer felt more nervous around Ashley than she did before. It wasn’t like Spencer at all. She was normally so certain of herself, so confident. But with Ashley around, everything was different. It wasn’t a bad thing, but Spencer wasn’t sure if it was necessarily good either. The way her body reacted when Ashley was around made it a little difficult as well. She had butterflies flying around in her stomach constantly when Ashley was even just in eye sight. Spencer was almost sure this could not be healthy for her.

“Hey superstar.” Ashley arrived and smiled at Spencer, opening her locker to get her things.

“Hey.” Spencer said, “Um I just wanted to know if you needed a ride or anything?” Spencer lamely suggested.

Ashley raised her eyes brows and looked at Spencer. “Funny you should as that because I actually do.” She said, “My mom brought me to school today because I happened to get yet another speeding ticket this past weekend.” Spencer was surprised.

“Another? How many have you had?”

“Like 2….7….12…”Ashley trailed off.

“12?!” Spencer said disbelievingly.

“Well I’ve only had ONE in L.A.” Ashley said. “Besides, the past is the past. No harm no foul.”

“Yeah accept for what it probably did to your insurance.” Spencer replied.

“Yes well, we won’t mention that part.” Ashley closed her locker, “So where’s your ride?”

“In the senior lot.” Spencer pushed off the locker she was leaning on and walked with Ashley out of the double doors. “So how did the first day go for you?”

“Well the classes all sucked, but it was nice having my own personal tour guide all day.” Ashley replied, crinkling her nose at Spencer.

“Well I do my best.” Spencer smiled back as they came to her car. “Well this is it.” Spencer’s car was a red, two door, 2000 Cavalier. It wasn’t the nicest of all cars but it had decent gas mileage and was fairly reliable. Spencer unlocked Ashley’s door first since she did not have an automatic button for the doors. When she got in on her side, she threw her backpack in the back and started the car. “So, where to?”
