Chapter 1

Spencer sat on the tire swing, lazily pushing herself around with her feet as the sun was setting. "Oh my god. Jocie, did you see Chris today? He was all over Maria at lunch." she said to the black & red-haired girl sitting above her on the monkey bars. "Didn't he just break up with Shannon yesterday? I swear, that boy changes girls faster than I change my panties." Jocelyn answered. Spencer replied with a giggle and teased, "Wouldn't that require you to wear them in the first place, you tramp." "HEY!" Jocelyn yelled, faking hurt. She jumped down and pushed Spencer hard in the swing. "You bitch." Spencer just stuck her tongue out at Jocelyn and giggled profusely. She pushed Spencer even harder and soon both girls were on ground laughing. Once they could finally breathe again, Jocelyn suggested they go home since it was getting dark.

The two girls walked arm-in-arm down the street, passing all the perfectly aligned picket-fenced houses in the neighborhood. They chatted about useless gossip as they neared their houses, the night air setting in. When they finally approached the place between their side-by-side houses, they stopped to hug like usual. But this time was different for some reason they couldn't understand. When they pulled apart, they stood there staring at each other. Blue eyes were piercing into brown, lost in a moment. They were startled when a bird cawed in a nearby tree. Jocelyn nervously said bye and ran into her house.

Spencer just stood there, dumbfounded. Finally, Glen opened the front door and called out to her "Yo, are you just gonna stand there all night?" She blinked rapidly to regain reality and shook her head no. "Okay, weirdo, dinner's ready." he replied and went back inside. The blonde made her way to the front door, giving one last glance to her best friend's house before she entered her own.

As soon as the front door closed, she heard an alarm in the distance. As she groggily opened her eyes and regained her senses, she realized it was her clock. She reached over and hit the off button. She slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes, trying to wake up and make sense of her dream at the same time. She decided not to think about it anymore, waving it off as a silly dream, and got up to take a shower.

She stood in the steamy shower, water pouring down her body. She opened the bottle of coconut shampoo and inhaled the scent before thoroughly washing her hair. Then she grabbed her mango bodywash and rubbed it along her body, washing away her troubles. Once she was done, she turned the water off and wrapped a green towel around her body. She walked over to the mirror to brush her teeth when she heard screaming downstairs. She opened the door a crack to hear better. "YES! I GOT THE JOB!" she heard her mother scream. She was confused as she searched her memory bank for whatever Paula was talking about. Then she remembered that her mom was being offered a better job. She rolled her eyes and went back to what she was doing.

She went back to her room to get dressed. She slipped off her towel and pulled on a pair of white lace panties and a matching bra then turned on her radio. She smiled as soon as she heard the song start and danced around her room like a maniac while singing along to The Future Freaks Me Out by Motion City Soundtrack (for the sake of my fic, pretend they would play such a rad song on the radio these days). She found a pair of pre-ripped jeans and pulled them on as she jumped around and pulled on a pink tank top with the words "Gossip Queen" layed across the chest in black letters. She grabbed her brush and started to use it as a microphone in front of the mirror then brushed out her long blonde hair.

When she was finally finished, she skipped downstairs to eat breakfast. "Oh, how I adore Saturdays." she thought as she walked into the dining room. "Morning!" she shouted cheerfully. Her mother smiled and said "Spencer, I got the new job." "Mom, I think the whole neighborhood knows, you were screaming so loud." she joked. Her mom chuckled and hugged the younger girl. "I didn't even tell you all the best part yet." Paula said, addressing the whole family. Everyone except Spencer stopped eating and gave her their undivided attention. She beamed as she announced "We're moving to Los Angeles!"

So, I hope it's not too horrible.
Should I keep going or give up now?

I also hope you all enjoyed drooling over Spencer in the shower.
