Whatever It Takes

Chapter 1 – Deal

Spencer's POV

"First day of our last semester of high school, let's try and not screw it up too much eh Ashley?" I said to my best friend as we got out of her car and began walking towards the school.

"Does that mean you're finally going to make your move on Kyla Woods then?" She asked sarcastically, nudging me in the side and lifting her eyebrows up and down. "Come on Spence, you've been crushing on her for FOREVER, it's just not healthy anymore..."

"Oh please... like I would ever have a chance with Kyla Woods." I snapped back. "Every girl... and guy for that matter likes her, I'd get crushed."

"You do aim high. Speaking of which, here the queen comes now." Ashley said as I turn my head in the direction of the street and see Kyla stepping out of her car.

Ashley was right, I had been crushing on Kyla for a long time, but I mean she was the most popular girl in school, not to mention the most beautiful. As she walked up the staircases leading to the front doors, everyone waved at her, hoping that she would wave back or even say hello. I, Spencer Carlin, just stood back and stared at her. I didn't have much game which is another reason I wasn't going to make a move.

"Spencer... close your mouth." I heard Ashley whisper to me before I felt a hand push it close for me. "There you go." She laughed before I snapped back to reality and wiped the drool from my chin.

"See... unhealthy." She whispered into my ear as she chuckled again. "You don't even realize when you're drooling over her now."

"You really need to control that drooling there, Spence. I could see it from the other side of the yard." Chris yelled, running towards us and throwing his arm around both of our shoulders. "How are you ladies doing this morning?"

"Talking about how Spencer should finally make her move on Kyla Woods." Ashley replied while she leaned forward, turning to me with a big smile.

"No, we're talking about how she's NOT going to make a move and make a fool out of herself." I blurted out, pouting and sticking my tongue out at my best friend.

Chris laughed at my expression on my face. "Ah... Kyla Woods, oh how I'm going to miss this place."

---------------------------------------

Aiden's POV

"I'm going to miss this place... the games, the parties, all these lovely women digging me..." I said, cockily as my friends and I walked over towards the main doors of the school.

"More like all but one of them." Jake added, laughing and gesturing through a head nod towards the right of us.

"Ashley Davies..." I whisper as I glance over to where the beautiful brunette was standing and talking with her best friend.

"How many times are you going to ask her out to be completely shot down?"

"I still have a whole semester, plus this time I've got a plan." I said, watching Ashley's best friend, Spencer gaze and drool at my cousin, Kyla as she walked through the doors.

"Whatever you say, you are the man." Jake replied, giving me props and shaking his head.

"Yes I am..." I said cockily as we followed Kyla through the doors and past Ashley and Spencer.

---------------------------------------

Spencer's POV

The three of us are now in the halls and walking to our class as we turn the corner and I run into someone, knocking them slightly off balance. I look up and see Kyla Woods standing there in front of me.

Oh my god, out of all the people to walk into... I walk into her.

"Sorry about..."" I mumbled, looking down at her mouth and seeing her lipstick smeared across her cheek, before I subtly bit my lower lip. "...uh your mouth."

Did I actually just say that...? Wow Spencer. Just wow.

"Well that's the first compliant I've had about it so far." Kyla replied, giving me a small grin and wiping the excess lipstick off her cheek before closing her locker and walking away.

"Sorry about your mouth." Ashley whispers slowly, chuckling about the comment.

"What the hell is wrong with me?" I ask rhetorically as I hit myself lightly in the head with my hand.

"You have no game." Ashley replied, looping her arm around mine and grinning at me, which almost turned into a laugh.

"Especially when it comes to fine ones like Kyla Woods." Chris joked as he patted me on the back.

See what I'm saying? I don't make this stuff up.

"Now do you see why I'm not making my move? She's way out of my league. I'd get crushed. Epically crushed."

"So much for not screwing up the first day of our last semester there, champ."

---------------------------------------

Ashley's POV

After last class let out, I went to my locker quickly before making my way to my Porsche. My dad bought it for me at Christmas, he thinks it makes him a father because he send me presents me every now and then.

When I got to the parking lot, Spencer was already there leaning up against the car.

"Hey girl, did you manage to get through the rest of the day without embarrassing yourself again?" I joked, throwing my bag in the back seat and unlocking the car so both of us could get in.

"Har har... you're supposed to be my best friend, help me through the difficult times and tell me it's going to be okay, not laugh at my pathetic-ness."

"You know I'm just kidding, plus I love your pathetic-ness. It makes you unique." I reply with a big grin as I put my car into gear and drive out of the parking lot. "Like that time when we were kids, you tripped over your own feet on your tricycle and went face first into the concrete and then a few years later you did it again but instead with a bike."

"Yes and I will forever have a scar on my chin because of that..." Spencer pouted while she rubbed over the scar on her chin. "You still stood there and laughed when it happened!"

"And yet here I am, still your best friend."

"You're just lucky I have low standards." She pretended to scowl before sticking out her tongue at me.

A few minutes later I pull into our favourite diner's parking lot. We usually went there every day after school. We got our usual booth in the back, and ordered two chocolate milkshakes.

"So you know, prom's in a few months. I don't know, I just thought it might be nice to go..." Spencer said, starting to play with her straw and biting her lip. She did that a lot when she was nervous. "And who better to go with than maybe my best friend?"

"No prospects either?" I asked, smiling at the blonde who sat there with her arms crossed at my comment. "Still don't want to try your shot at Kyla Woods?"

"You were there at the lockers today right...when I ran into her and said 'sorry about your mouth'?" She replied rhetorically while shaking her head back and forth.

"Yeah, that was bad." I laughed out and then sat there silently as she looked at me expectantly.

"Are you going to make me beg?" She asked, tilting her head and pouting.

I hated when she did that. She only did that when she wanted something, and most of the time she got it.

"Maybe just a little, hold out for a better offer from you." I joked, trying to resist the pout.

"Meh, I guess you can go with Chris and the boys."

Ugh.

"Fine. You got yourself a date."

"Excellent." She replied, closing her eyes and tilting her chin upwards slightly and showing me a huge smug grin.

The things I do for my friends...

---------------------------------------

Spencer's POV

The next day I found myself sitting in my first period class listening aimlessly to my teacher.

"So I heard you and Ashley are going to the prom together." Chris whispered, leaning over to me as the teacher turned around and began writing on the chalk board.

"And?" I asked like it wasn't some big shock.

"And are you excited?" He asked, grinning like a moron.

"Chris... it's Ashley." I said in a platonic way.

"Ashley's fine."

"She's also my best friend. Look, I've known Ashley my whole life, and I know everything about her, it'd be weird if it was like that. A most importantly, she's straight."

"Whatever you say, I still think it'd be hot."

"Chris, you think Doris the old lunch lady is hot." I replied, picking up my bag and walking out of class with him since the bell rang.

"Hey! She has aged well, that's all I'm saying..." He yelled as he went the opposite direction of me for his next class. "Think about it."

---------------------------------------

I'm walking across the quad to my next class as I see Aiden Dennison turn the corner and start briskly walking towards me.

Aiden Dennison was like the male version of Kyla. He was tall and muscular with dark brown hair. He was popular, good looking, cocky as hell, and of course the star athlete. He could have any girl he wanted, but for some strange reason he kept asking Ashley out. I guess it's true when people say 'people want what they can't have'.

"What's up with Ashley Davies?" Aiden shouted as he caught up to me.

"Why do you ask?"

"Maybe I'm interested."

"I've known her my whole life, believe me she's not your type." I said, throwing him a brush off look.

"Well Kyla Woods isn't yours either, but I could help you out."

"Who says I'm into Kyla Woods?" I asked, stopping in my tracks and turning towards him aggressively.

Okay... probably everyone, she is KYLA WOODS, who isn't into her?

"Oh come on, I've seen you checking her out in the halls and in the mornings. You're quite the drooler... I just thought I could help you out."

"Okay, so what's the catch?"

"Why does there have to be a catch?"

"I don't know, maybe because we've gone to the same school for four years and you haven't said jack shit to me until now."

"You're right, I don't know you, and you don't know me. But I like your best friend and you like my cousin, and prom's coming up and I just thought we could help each other out. You with Ashley and me with Kyla."

"Has she ever mentioned me?" I asked anxiously.

"No." He straight up admitted without hesitation.

"So what makes you think a have a shot with her then?"

"Because you've got me helping you out. I know what she likes in a girl, and I can get to be that girl for her, but you have to help me be that guy for Ashley. Deal?" He asked, throwing out his hand for me to shake.

I stood there contemplating it and then Kyla walked out to the quad where Aiden and I were with her friends.

"Aiden! I need to talk to you please." She yelled across the quad, making Aiden around and nod back to her before looking back at me and tilting his head and smugly grinning.

"Deal."
