"Oh, My GOD! Paige Michalchuck?"
The voice didn't register at first, but as she continued on, Paige turned around, her eyes meeting a familiar face. It was Alex.
"Alex?" Paige asked as she walked towards her, "Hey."
"What in the hell are you doing in LA?" Alex asked her.
"Work," Paige replied simply, her hand waved around her outfit to show off her business suit.
"So that Banting business degree worked out for you?"
"Yeah. I'm pretty happy. What about you? Why are you here?"
"Just where the wind blew me," Alex said nonchalantly.
Paige nodded, "You haven't changed that much."
Alex smiled back at Paige, "Hey, you wanna grab a coffee or something?"
Paige suddenly began shifting uncomfortably, "I'd like to hun, but I was just on my way to meet... someone."
"'Someone' huh? Talking about a special 'someone' here?"
Paige blushed, "Yeah."
"How long have you two been seeing each other?" Alex said with a knot in her stomach.
"Not too long. A couple months."
"Thats good for you. When do I get to meet the lucky guy?"
"Alex, I just saw you for the first time in years today, and you're already looking to see my newest special someone?"
"Well yeah. You can't blame me for being curious can you?"
"Are you telling me that you would let me meet your current girlfriend?"
"Who said I had one?"
"I was just being hypothetical."
"Well I do have a girlfriend. We could all meet for coffee sometime next week..."
"Sure," Paige dug through her purse, "Here's my card," she said when she found it. She scribbled two phone numbers on the back, "Home, and cell," she explained, "Call me, and we'll work something out."
"Alright. Cool."
"And Alex?"
"Yeah?"
"Mine's a girl too, not a guy."
Alex looked impressed as Paige walked away. Paige was secretly delighted with the fact that even Alex didn't believe that Paige would have a girlfriend.
"Hey!" Ashley called, "You're late! Thats something I never thought I'd see happen. Me being here before you."
"I ran into someone from high school. We took a while to catch up. She's gonna call, and then we'll probably go on a lunch or coffee date with her and her girlfriend."
"Girlfriend? Wait, there was more than one lesbian in that little town of yours?"
Paige blushed, "Okay, I admit it, she's an ex. My first ex-girlfriend as a matter of fact."
Ashley nodded knowingly, "So how was your day at work?" she changed the subject.
"You always ask that, and my answer is always the same."
"And that is?" Ashley pretended not to know.
"Same old thing. I wish I could be doing something more exciting."
"Then lets go somewhere exciting. Like a vacation."
"I can't. I have to be at work tomorrow. I don't have vacation coming up..."
"Can't or won't?" Ashley hadn't meant to quote something she'd once said to Spencer. It'd just come out. She blushed.
"Both," Paige replied, not noticing that Ashley was blushing.
"Hey, tell me about that ex I'm gonna be meeting."
"Well... her name is Alex. For a while, we had a hate on for each other. Even though we went to school together, we didn't have too much interaction. We had to talk to each other at work. Alex and I started to hit it off, after that, we'd talk at school and hang out. I took her to the premiere of 'Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian eh'. We had an awesome time, then we went back to my house and we kissed. It totally freaked me out, but after that, we ended up going out until the end of the school year. We were too different, and had to go our separate ways."
Ashley nodded. Parts of that sounded totally familiar, but from the other perspective.
"And that was the first time I'd seen her since I left for college."
"Wow. Thats a long time."
Paige sighed, "Yeah, it was."
"How do you feel seeing her again?" there was a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Its good to see her. She reminds me of home."
"You're still calling Canada home huh? How long has it been since you've lived there?"
"Two years. Thats 11times less time than I lived in Canada."
Ashley rolled her eyes at the number crunching.
