“So what classes you got this morning?”

“Oh um…”

Spencer looked down at her schedule and scrunched her face.  Even though her mother was out of the house and she had Superdad at home, she felt bad and so she had agreed to pack her schedule during senior year.

“AP Calc…then AP Physics…AP English…then…”

“Ew…you know this is SENIOR year right?  You are SO the nerd…”

Spencer tried to look hurt but it came across as more of a pitiful pout and Ashley just had to laugh.

“Okay okay I’m sorry…so who do you have for Physics?”

“Um…Donaldson?”

“Cool we have second and third together then…”

“Wait you’re in AP Physics AND AP English?  And you called me a nerd??? And since when are you so good in Science and English?  You’re like never in class…when do you learn?”

“Hey Science aint hard…two bodies in motion will stay in motion until they decide to change their direction…”

Spencer laughed at Ashley’s rated-R version of Newton’s Law of Physics.  She rolled her eyes at her girlfriend.

“Um I think that’s an OBJECT in motion will stay in motion Ash…”

“Hey my version is more fun.  And English is easy cause most of it is like poetry…ya know…music…poetry…nevermind…”

Spencer smiled knowingly at Ashley as they grabbed their books from their lockers.  Spencer had it on good authority that she was a positive influence of the role of academia in Ashley’s life and she was glad that at least Ashley was applying herself…even if for the wrong reasons.  Ashley quickly learned at the end of Junior year that “study breaks” were the most beneficial part of studying together…so she figured if she tried to show Spencer she was studying she would reap the rewards later.  Smart girl. 

“Well I got Psychology first period…save me a seat in Physics?”

“Aww do you want me to be your partner too?”

“I thought you were…”

Ashley gave Spencer a cheeky smile as she stole a quick kiss before heading off to class.  Spencer grabbed the rest of the books she needed and smiled to herself as the hustle of students around her slowly died down.  She was really looking forward to this school year and she had a feeling that from this point on…life as she knew it was about to change.
