"Stop staring at him Ashley, he's going to think you're weird."

"I can't help it Spence! Aiden is just too cute! I can't believe he's single this year!"

"Yeah but he won't be for long, he'll be dating a cheer bitch before you know it."

"Not if I get to him first!"

"You always say that Ash, and then you chicken out."

"Whatever Spence! I don't see you asking any guys out!"

"I have yet to find the right guy, I will know when the time is right."

Spencer knew there would never be a right time though. Spencer knew she was gay. She figured it out this summer when her best friend Ashley Davies was gone for the summer. Spencer spent her entire summer working at Gray, it was a popular club in Los Angeles. She figured she could use the money, and it gave her something to do since her best friend was away in Europe. It was at Gray that Spencer met Amy. She was older, a sophomore in college. Spencer had gotten to know Amy the whole summer and Amy helped Spencer explore her sexuality. When summer came to an end, so did their summer fling. Spencer was in high school and Amy was heading back to college in New York. It saddened Spencer a little, but she knew she wasn't in love with Amy. The girls did promise to email each other back and forth, a promise Spencer would keep. Spencer was happy when Ashley finally came back from Europe, she had missed her best friend so much it hurt. It was like a part of her was missing. She became whole again when Ashley was there. Spencer wanted to tell Ashley about the summer, but she just couldn't tell Ashley the truth. She didn't know how Ashley would react and she just couldn't risk losing their friendship, it was the most important thing in Spencer's life. So Spencer vowed to keep it a secret for now. She would tell Ashley someday. For now, she just wanted to spend some time with her most favorite person in the world.

"So you're staying at my house tonight, right Spence?"

"Of course Ash, it's our last Saturday night of the summer. School starts Monday."

"Good. It's my turn to pick the movie!"

"I know Ash, nothing too scary though."

"Fine Spence, I wouldn't want you sleep walking and screaming in Kyla's room again anyway."

Kyla was Ashley's younger sister. Kyla was really nice though. Sometimes the girls would invite Kyla to join them for movie night. It wasn't often though, those nights were special to Ashley and Spencer. They had always had Saturday night movie nights since they were seven. They took turns every weekend, tonight would be at Ashley's house. The girls were just finishing up some shopping time at the mall. Ashley wanted to have the perfect outfit for her first day. Spencer didn't get it, Ashley always looked perfect to her, no matter what she was wearing.

"We better go, it's almost six and we told Kyla we would pick her up at six thirty."

"Well we would have been out of here sooner if you didn't spend an hour drooling over Aiden."

"Oh shut up Spence, you're lucky I let you come with and ride in my brand new convertible."

"Oh whatever Ash, you drive me around because you love me."

"Yeah well you're just lucky that I missed you all summer Spence."

Ashley decided to order pizza for dinner. She knew her mom wouldn't be cooking anything, she was never home most of the time. Ever since Ashley and Kyla's dad died, Christine had spent less and less time at home. It was to the point of the girls practically living on their own. Ashley didn't seem to mind though, she really never had that close of a relationship with her mom and her dad's death had just made them grow further apart. Ashley did her best to look out for Kyla.

"Ash you seriously take forever to get dressed, it's just pajamas. Doesn't take an hour to put some on."

"Whatever Spence! And I was trying on some of the new clothes I bought. I still have no idea what I want to wear Monday. I need something sexy, something to get Aiden's attention. What do you think of this outfit?"

Ashley came out wearing a tight black tank top, she could see Ashley's red and black bra underneath. She also wore a short jean shirt with her new black stilettos. Spencer couldn't help but look Ashley down from head to toe. She looked hot! Wait, did she just think her best friend was hot?

"That outfit is perfect Ash! There is no way Aiden will not notice that outfit."

"You think so? Ugh I hope so. I really want to have a boyfriend this year."

"Well that is the outfit to get noticed."

The girls spent their Saturday night like they always did. On Ashley's night she would always pick a really scary movie. Spencer knows she does it on purpose, but she can't prove anything. Spencer was always a wimp when it came to scary movies. Should would always cover her eyes whenever a scene was too scary. Thankfully Ashley would always cuddle with Spencer during the movie because she knew how scared Spencer would get.

"Ugh that movie was good!"

"No it wasn't Ash! You knew the exorcist always scares the shit out of me because it can actually happen!"

Relax Spence, no one is coming to possess you tonight. You can sleep in my arms tonight if it will make you feel more comfortable.

"You know I have to or I won't be sleeping tonight."

"I know, get in here."

Spencer put her head on Ashley's chest and Ashley wrapped her arms around Spencer. Spencer always felt so protected in Ashley's arms. There was also this funny feeling in her stomach. Spencer knew the feeling had to be that she was just happy to have such an amazing best friend. She was always the happiest when she was spending time with Ashley.

Monday morning was a drag. Spencer was not ready to go back to King High. Summer break just isn't long enough. Spencer was not ready for her junior year. She knew she would be taking a lot of harder classes this year. Luckily Ashley was in a few of Spencer's classes. Having her best friend at her side would make things a lot easier. Spencer was excited that Ashley would be taking her to school this year. She always hated going to school with her brothers. She always had to work around their schedules. Last year Glen had basketball practice so Spencer would have to sit in the auditorium with Clay and wait till Glen was finished. It was a pain in the ass.

"Spence please tell me that's not what you're wearing today?"

"What's wrong with my outfit?"

"Nothing, but no guy is going to pay attention to the girl wearing a plain blue t-shirt with skinny jeans and converse sneakers. You're outfit screams boring."

"My outfit is comfortable Ash. And I don't care about impressing guys. I really need to focus on my classes this semester."

"Fine, if you want to be the boring studious girl this year, be my guest."

"Thank you."

We they got to school everyone was there talking with friends about their summers. Spencer spotted her friend Chelsea by the picnic table by the quad. She hadn't seen Chelsea all summer because Chelsea was away in San Diego all summer doing some kind of art program.

"Hey I'm going to go say hello to Chelsea. I'll see you in math."

"Ok sounds good. I need to go check my make up anyway."

"Ash you look fine, trust me."

Spencer made her way over to Chelsea. Chelsea was happy to see her and immediately began to tell Spencer all about her summer and what she had done during her time at the program. Spencer couldn't help but notice Ashley. She was where Spencer had left her, but she wasn't alone. She was talking to Aiden. Spencer should have been happy for her best friend, she was talking to her crush. Instead she was upset. She really didn't like Aiden, he was a jock and kind of a jerk. And they were standing so close. It was almost as if Spencer was feeling jealous. That can be possible, can it?
