Ashley wakes up in a pretty bad mood. It's a school day again she really hates, and she has to wake up because her mother is arguing with her boyfriend again so early in the morning. She sighs and turns on her back, staring at the ceiling.
'Good morning Ashley, rise and shine' she whispers to herself and sits up.
She sighs again. She doesn't really feel like going to school, but whatever, she has to. It's only 7 a.m., so she decides to have a shower.
The warm water wakes her up completely, and, as she has plenty of times, she washes her hair. Then, she only stands and let the water pour all over her. She feels sick again. Sick of what happened to her. She finishes washing her hair, so she lets this feeling go away by making herself busy. She takes her bathrobe on, and starts drying her hair, when her mother walks into the room.
'Isn't it time to go to school?'
'I'll go by car'
'Oh, will, you?'
'Yes' she rolls her eyes 'I'll be there before the bell rings' she forces a smile.
'Fine then.' That's all what her mother says and walks out.
As soon as the brunette finishing the preparations, she grabs her bag, her notes, and the key of her car, and hastily, she goes to school. On her way, she buys a coffee. She's running late, but whatever. She doesn't really care. She parks the car. Damn, she really is in a bad mood today. She feels so tired she could fall asleep immediately.
She locks the car, and makes her steps fast. Taking a corner, someone bumps into her and her notes and coffee lands on the floor. It's not her day. She's really upset right now.
'Oh, what, can't you be careful?' she shouts.
'I'm so sorry, let me…' and the blonde girl tries to help, but she fails.
'Don't help me! Do you always make disasters with every step you take?' she asks angrily, and continue her way. She regrets it and she wants to apologize, but she rather goes to her Literature lesson. She has to calm down, and maybe later, she would apologize.
Throughout the day, she can't forget the girl. Her long, blonde her, her sparkling blue eyes and her juicy lips. Damn, she really was unfair to her. Ashley realized that she was a newbie, as she never saw her before. Making a very bad first impression, in the end she decides to find the new girl after school.
She finds her nowhere, so she's heading to the gym.
"BINGO!" she thinks to herself when she realizes the girl there.
Ashley sits next to her. She really is a newbie; she's doing her homework already.
'So, looking for boys while pretending that you're studying?' she smiles.
'No' the blonde looks into her eyes 'Brother' she points at a guy playing basketball.
Yeah right, she completely forgot that it's time for recruit some new members for the sport teams.
'No good. There can only be one star, and that's him' she points at Aiden. She feels sick again. 'By the way, do you often watch matches when you don't bump into strangers?' she grins.
'Some days. It's good to know that you have a version which doesn't wanna kill me'
'Ashley Davies'
'Spencer Carlin'
They shake hands, and Ashley feels something she hasn't felt for a long time.
'New in L.A.?'
'Yeah, we've just moved here from Ohio.'
'Well then, what about going on a sightseeing tour?' she smiles.
'I'd love to, but I don't have a car, and I have to go with my brother.'
'Chill! Hey!' she waves at the blonde guy 'I'll take her!'
The boy nods, and the girls leave the gym and either school.
After having some fun and checking out popular places they end up sitting on the beach having ice cream. Spencer tells Ashley that they moved here from Ohio and she was a cheerleader and an elite student there. She has two brothers, Glen and Clay, and her parents are…
She keeps on talking, but Ashley doesn't mind. Surprisingly, she loves Spencer's voice. She hasn't feel this good since…
'So?' Spencer interrupts her while she's drowning in her past.
'Huh? Sorry, I was spacing out.'
'Haven't you heard anything I said?'
'I did, chill.'
'Boys?' Spencer asks, smiling.
'Oh, no!'
'A certain boy then?'
'Look…' she is about to tell the blondie she's not into boys at all right now, then she changes her mind 'Come to my place and we shall talk about… boys, okay?'
'Sure, why not?'
Ashley's getting nervous. She really is into the new girl. But she can't tell her yet. So she takes her home instead, and who knows what's gonna turn out. So, they're lying on the brunette's bed, more exactly, Ashley's lying, and Spencer's sitting next to her. They really end up talking about boys. Ashley recalls why she hates dating boys so bad.
'So, did you leave anyone special in Ohio?' the brunette asks.
'No. Well… I had someone, but I left him before knowing that we leave Ohio. He was the captain of the football team. You know, the typical pair: the captain and a cheerleader. So cliché, it even hurt me. Plus, he had the old-fashion moves. You know, when you're sitting in the cinema, and…
'…he tries to wrap his arm around you' Ashley continues, sitting up.
'… and you have to pretend you don't even suspect that he wants to kiss you!' they end the sentence together.
'That's so right!' Spencer laughs.
Both of them lean back, and Ashley's hand lands on Spencer's, accidentally. None of them say a single word, but the brunette knows that her new friend feels a little bit of awkward right now. She knows, because so did she when she realized she's not only into guys. She lifts her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. It was a distraction, however.
'I should go now, I guess' Spencer says quietly 'it's getting late, and I haven't told my parents I'm going out.'
'I'll take you home' Ashley offers smiling, and grabs her keys.
Spencer nods, and smiles lightly, like she would be a little embarrassed. After telling Ashley the directions, she takes her home. She stops in front of the house.
'Thanks for today' Spencer hugs her, smiling.
'Had fun?'
'Yeah' she lets her go.
'See you tomorrow then?'
'Sure. Bye!' she gets out of the car and Ashley watches her as she walks into the house and closes the door.
She drives home and lies on her bed.
'Damn' she whispers 'She really is nice…'
"And sexy" she thinks to herself.
After practicing playing the guitar she goes to bed. She smiles and closes her eyes.
"Spencer Carlin… It's the start of something new, for both of us. I feel this, and I hope I feel it well" she thinks, and as she keeps thinking about the blondie, she falls asleep.
