Alright, since I love you guys soooooo much. I've written the first chapter already. I hope this goes well. Tell me what you think. Mind you, this involves scenes from the first 4 or so chapters of WL and RL so you might want to go back and read those because all of this happens before the fifth chapter of Coop's return. If you are just clicking on this I STRONGLY recommend you read atleast the first 4 chapters or the three stories so you have a good idea of Coop and Ashley's meeting and such.
Dislcimer: I own nothing but my own characters and story
Title is a reference to "Cross my heart" by Marianas Trench which was also featured in chap 33 of WL RL.

The Day Carlin met Cooper
Spencer POV
Well, it's the start of a new year in a new town. My brother Glen and I have transferred to King High during my junior year and his senior year. My mom, Paula, got a job at some hospital in LA that she couldn't pass up and my dad, Arthur, picked up his work as a chef to a new restaurant in downtown LA, owned by none other than Raiffe Davies. Not a huge fan of Purple Venom, but their music is decent.
I look around the huge school. It's not like the ones in Ohio. So much bigger. I don't even know where to begin. "New huh?" A brunette with her hair in a messy ponytail and deep blue eyes, smirks at me.
I smile, she seems nice enough, and kind of hot too in that Cobra Lacrosse, I guess that's King's mascot, fitted shirt and jean shorts. Yeah, I'm gay. I'm not out because I don't have a reason to be. I don't have a girlfriend so why make trouble for myself? I had one back in Ohio but she didn't want to come out. Her name was Mandy and she was my first girlfriend. I had dated boys before but they paled in comparison to her. I snap out of my thoughts when I see the mystery brunette waving her hand in my face, smirking more. "You okay there, Space Cadet?" She smiles.
I nod, "Yeah, sorry just thinking. I'm Spencer Carlin. I just transferred here from Ohio."
"Ah, a farm girl…coming here to be with the city folk eh?" She smiles. Usually I get mad at that sort of thing but I actually laugh at her. She's quite a goof. "Well, darlin', it's a pleasure to meet ya. I'm Alex Cooper. Most call me Coop though." She grins, speaking in a southern drawl.
"I'm not a farm girl." I chuckle. "I'm from Cincinnati. It is a rather urban city, mind you."
"Bengals fan?" She smirks as the warning bell sounds and I nod.
"Ah, well. We'll just see about that after you get to know me and my brother." She smiles cheekily. "Anyways, that was the bell, need some help getting to class, Spence?" My nicname rolls off her tongue and I smile. It sounds so natural.
"Yeah, sure Alex." She winks.
"Figured you'd call me Alex, you're not one of the Coop types. Let's take a look at that schedule." She takes my schedule and glances over it. "Well, you're in luck. You happen to be in all of my classes except for two."
"Oh yeah? Didn't figure you for an honors/AP student. Lacrosse player/jock mentality not so much you're thing?" She smiles as we begin walking to class.
"Nah, I'm a self-proclaimed nerd-jock, a jord if you will." She chuckles and I giggle a little. "I've always been on the fast track in honors and advanced classes in high school and I happen to love playing Lacrosse." She shrugs like it's no big deal. We stop infront of the door. "Ah we're here. Ready for some AP Calculus?" She wiggles her brows and I giggle. Guess I've made a new friend.
Lunchtime
"So Spence you liking King High so far?" Alex asks.
"Yeah, it's nice. Glad I met you though. You make my life so much easier."
She gasps dramatically, "I knew you only wanted me for my knowledge of the campus. You she-devil." I burst out laughing at her. God she's a goof. We grab our lunch and begin walking to the eating area. "So anyways, you can sit with me and my best friend Ashley. It's usually just the two of us. The unbreakable duo ya know? Been that way for two years." She looks a little sad but I don't ask. "But, hey, we can add a third. You kind of have to meet her. Plus I can be verrryyy persuasive if I want." She wiggles her brows and grins.
We stop at a table with a gorgeous brunette with red bangs sitting at it. Must be Ashley. She's looking at me and Alex curiously. So I decide to speak up. "Um..hey, I'm Spencer Carlin. Alex said it was ok, to join you guys. I really don't know anyone. So I figured why not, plus Alex, here said I absolutely had to meet you. " I say putting on my most friendly smile possible and I nudge Alex who shrugs and grins.
"Yeah, it's cool with me." Ashley said, smirking at Alex for a reason I know not of. "So she said you hadddd to meet me huh?" She looks at Alex who smiles at her innocently.
"Yeah, and I can't defy something that looks as strong as that." I point to Alex and she rolls her eyes grinning.
"Yep, it's the roids." Alex throws chip at Ashley. "Kidding, kidding." I laugh at their antics. It's going to be an interesting few years with these two.
