A/N: Here we go for round two of Spencer's new girlfriend! (Unless, of course this is your first time around) Anywhoo, here's Ch 1: proof that I meant what's in the authors note!
Chapter 1: Collision
Do I seem familiar
I've crossed you in the hallways
A thousand times
- For You I Will (Confidence), Teddy Geiger
Narrator's POV:
It was the end of the school day, and Spencer shut her locker and prepared to leave when she bumped into a random girl, dropping both of their books.
"Wow. I'm so sorry, I was a little distracted back there. I didn't mean to run you over," Spencer said.
"It's no big deal. I'm Dylan, by the way," the random girl said, extending her hand.
Spencer shook her hand an began to speak, "I'm—"
"Spencer...I know...I think you're in my Calculus class?" Dylan interrupted, while hoping she didn't come off as a stalker.
"Oh yeah. Why haven't I seen you in any of my other classes?"
"I'm actually a year below you, I just take an advanced math class."
"Well sorry for slowing you down," Spencer said with a sincere smile.
"It's no big deal...actually I can't drive yet, so I'm in no hurry to walk home," Dylan said in a way that really implied she was asking a favor of Spencer.
"Do you…want a ride?"
"Actually that would be great, thanks."
While in the car, Dylan tried to strike up a conversation, asking "So do you mind my asking why you were so distracted?"
"I'm just having a bit of a hard time right now because my girlfriend and I had a fight, and we're not seeing each other anymore."
"You mean girlfriend as in…?"
"We're dating. Or I guess I should say we dated."
"Oh, ok." Dylan said in what she hoped was a nonchalant way, but probably wasn't.
"Why, is that an issue?" Spencer said, becoming a bit tense. Obviously, Dylan's attempt at nonchalant had come out as more than a bit nervous.
"No, I'm just—I guess I'm just a little distracted myself these days."
"Why is that?" Spencer asked, genuinely interested.
Dylan struggled with the words, "I think I'm—I think I—"
"Like girls?" Spencer finished for her.
"Yeah. How did you know that you…?" Dylan asked, still unable to finish her sentence.
Smiling, Spencer said "Well, I had someone there to help me. Once I realized it's not wrong to be gay, I guess I just finally stopped lying to myself about who I am."
"Who was it that helped you?" Dylan asked, wide-eyed.
"Ashley. She's who I just broke up with," Spencer said, her mood visibly worsening at the thought of her recently ended relationship with Ashley.
"Are you okay?" Dylan asked, with genuine concern.
"She was my first girlfriend, and she was crazy, and full of herself, and a pain sometimes, but..." Spencer started to trail off, smiling a bit.
"But you were there for the worst, because you kept hoping for the best?" Dylan finished, when it was clear Spencer wasn't going to, shaking Spencer from her daydream.
"Yeah," Spencer said, contemplating what Dylan said. "Wow, that's a good way to put it."
"Thanks, it's a lyric from a song I wrote. I don't really know where I get my inspiration though, seeing as how I've never been in a relationship."
"Really?" Spencer asked with an arched eyebrow, taking a second look at Dylan. She was pretty, with soft features and a nice sized chest, the kind of girl who could get anyone she wanted.
"Yeah. I've never even been kissed. I guess I'm not all that into guys, and I think I've been holding myself back, trying not to like girls."
Spencer considered this, but amidst her thoughts of Dylan, she remembered why Dylan was there. "Uh, where's your house? Did we pass it?"
Just another day
Started out like any other
Just another girl who took my breath away
