I posted this on the Spashley forum under a different sn but I'm reposting here.

"But what if she doesn't come on time?"

"She'll be here…it's her locker. She has to come by."

"I know that, but what if she ditches like she always does?"

"Do you really think that at least one of us wouldn't know if she was ditching? Or be ditching with her?"

Keeping lookout, Spencer eyed the oncoming group of freshman as they passed, no doubt sweating themselves into oblivion from the confusion of where their next classes were. There was no other high school as confusing to get around as King High on your first day. She knew this from experience.

The day had gone as regular as possible. Nothing out of the ordinary…except for when she got the note in English telling her to meet in front of the first row lockers. She knew who it was from so there was no need for a signature but it didn't help stop the eye roll and slight head shake she involuntarily did.

Knowing that her breezy pastel orange shirt was bright enough to attract any eyes that surrounded her, she kept the lookout for the chestnut eyes that she was trying to avoid. The truth was if it weren't for this little mission she was on, she wouldn't mind being spotted by those eyes. She welcomed it, really. Liked it. Loved it even. But that was something no one else was supposed to know.

"Spencer, I can't get the right combo! You think we should just slip it inside anyway?"

And that, that was Aiden. Someone she could call a best friend. He was probably the best guy friend she'd ever had. Their little romantic rendezvous back when they first met left them with this ease and comfort with each other that she didn't feel with anyone. Well…almost anyone. Whenever she had a problem, she wouldn't hesitate to call him and talk it out but some problems…just some were better not to be talked out. Some, which if spelled out, came to a name.

Ashley.

"Why are you staring so hard? Is she coming?"

She hadn't even realized she was in a stare. "No. Just slip the note in her locker, she'll see it either way."

"Have you ever seen her locker?"

Very good point. Ashley's locker looked like the school threw up and the remains were left there. It was a mess of pages, binders, books, notebooks, and anything else she didn't want. Almost like it was storage. She could see his frustration on his perfectly arched eyebrows. Dark as night with eyes that almost glowed. She always thought he was a really good looking guy, anyone with eyes could admit that, but his lack for neurons at times really took away the appeal.

She liked to think of him as a model. Always to be seen, never heard.

Looping her fingers around the strap of her bag, Spencer turned her head, changing her stare back to the tall, dark guy in front of her. "Yes, Aiden, I've seen her locker," she replied in a playfully bored tone, "which is why you should slip the note in through the side and just leave a little bit sticking out so she sees it. If she still doesn't see it, then you know she's blind."

He smirked down at her, thanking her without words for helping him. He knew she didn't have to be there helping him leave their mutual friend a love note but he couldn't think of anyone else who could help him out. Anyone he could trust to help him, anyway. He turned back over to the aquagreen locker and wondered why that locker was one of the only ones in the school with an actual lock. It'd be so much easier to leave this for her to find had it not been locked.

Reaching down into his bag to get the infamous note, he pulled it out and folded it once more in order to make sure it was tight enough to stick in the crack of the locker and not slide out. Slipping it inside, leaving a little bit of an edge out, he sighed as he turned back to the blonde beside him who was checking casually for anyone coming.

"I think that's it." He looked quite proud of this and she had to giggle slightly at that. All he did was write a note and stick it in someone's locker and he looked like his chest might puff with pride.

"What'd you write in there anyway?" She asked nodding towards the note.

Beginning to walk away, he wagged his finger at her, "That's for Ashley to know." He was so sure she'd never find out when, of course, it slipped his mind that Ashley practically told Spencer everything.

She didn't press any further on it and just kept walking with him towards their next class. Truth be told, part of her really didn't want to know what was in the note. The situation she was stepping into was hard enough as is. Aiden asking Spencer for help on how to get back together with Ashley.

Weird didn't begin to cover it.
