Authors note: I do not own a single piece of South of Nowhere or its characters I just enjoy writing about them so this story was made up by me just not the characters and all stuff that could get me into some legal troubles if I were to say were mine. Anyway this is my first fic so be nice and review!! Enjoy!
Spencer Carlin is the prettiest, most popular girl in school. She was loved by everyone,
and by everyone I mean everyone the students, teachers, even the parents wanted their children to be like her. There was no denying it, they all loved her, and those who claim they don't love her well there are lying I mean come on she's just such a loveable person. I myself would know this because I have personally been hit by the Carlin love bug.
My name is Ashley Davies and I; I am in love with Spencer Carlin.
I remember the first time I laid eyes on her; to me it was like it was yesterday.
It was just a typical hot Californian day starting like all normal days do, but soon I would find out that this wouldn't be just any ordinary day. Once I had arrived at school I had immediately been called to the principal's office to pick up my daily report that I had acquired yesterday from failing to turn up to my last class. I will never regret skipping class that day because once I had arrived to the office that's when I saw her. She was talking to Principal Dan and at first I could just see the back of her head but when she turned to leave the firsts thing I saw were those eyes, her beautiful blue eyes. I nearly died as she slipped past me slightly grazing my shoulder and smiling as she left the room.
After that incident I dedicated most of my life to staring at her at any chance I had I even started going to basketball games just sneak a peek at her on the cheer squad. My best or I should say only friend Kelly thought I was going nuts when I started turning up to the games. The obvious reason being we aren't usually the ones to join in the school spirit. But in the end she didn't mind because then she also had an excuse to watch someone from afar, Glen Carlin the basketball superstar and brother to Spencer Carlin. Kelly can know about my little infatuation in due time but for now I don't want her to know. It's not normally my thing to be head over heals in love with someone I have never really talked to, let alone a girl.
So that's basically everything up until now, not including the time she borrowed one of my pencils in math, then again that can hardly count as anything since she asked the whole class before me. Now that we have all caught up on my life I can tell you that I'm sitting all alone in my favorite class, extended math. It's my favorite for two reasons. The first one is the obvious one; Spencer's is here with none of her fake plastic friends therefore she sits alone. Not to mention in the row in front of me and in total stare view. The second reason is I absolutely love math, I don't know why maybe I gathered some defect at birth. Still I just can't help but love the feeling of getting lost in solving the problems; perhaps it's the escape from dealing my own problems that I love.
anyway this is defiantly my favorite class because I get to sit, do and stare at what I love, but in all honesty I don't really know why Spencer is in this class, no offence to her but she's not really the greatest person at math, don't get me wrong she's good at everything else, just not math.
"So class I would just like to inform you all that you have a math test coming up after the holiday's"
Half the class sighed in disappointment, including Spencer who had banged her head on the desk.
"Wait there's more to get excited about; this test will count for 40% of your end of year report. So if you are having any troubles on any of the stuff we have been doing don't hesitate to go to your out of school math tutor Miss Davies."
I'm not sure if it's just me but as I looked around the class I am sure half of them got even more distraught at the mention of my name, I guess that's what you get for being a genius.
As the end of school bell rang everyone started storming out of the class as quickly as possible, which hopefully meant I wouldn't have to teach any math. I noticed Spencer was hanging back a little, taking her time to gather her stuff. I shrugged it off and thought that she was going to ask the teacher for something but as I looked around and we were the only ones in the classroom. I walked past her in a effort to leave, but I felt something grab my wrist I looked around and it was Spencer. "Hey…umm" she sounded a little hesitant but I looked at her for more information.
"Do you mind if you…uh……could you help me some time to prepare for the math test because I don't think I could do it on my own"
Did I mind??? What an insane question of course I didn't mind. Late nights with Spencer studying my favorite subject, sure I was game. I noticed she still had hold of my hand, instantly a huge smile formed on my lips.
"Sure that's not a problem" I said, perhaps a little too happily.
She let go of my hand and started fumbling through her stuff. I watched while feeling somewhat disappointed that she had let go of me. What was she doing? My question was soon answered as she pulled out some paper, scribbled on it and handed it to me.
"Here this is my number call me when you have time and we can arrange a meeting" she said smiling.
"Ok I will" I smiled back. As I turned to leave she pulled me around and thanked me again I said it was nothing and walked off smiling from here to Japan.
"SPENCER CARLIN IS COMING TO MY HOUSE" I was so excited!! After almost a year of being totally in love with her I have finally got her to come to my house!! So what if it is only to help her with her math, I didn't care I was on top of the world. As soon I had gotten home I had walked around my house with the little piece of paper held in my hand debating with myself whether or not it was too early to call her, I didn't want to seem to eager. After the a few mind bending hours I said to myself, screw it and called her. We didn't talk long, we just came to the agreement that we would meet at my house tomorrow after school. We chose my house, well for the simple fact that it would be quieter because my mum is never home. I was so excited even more excited than last week when I got the distinction award for math.
I lay awake all night wondering what would happen tomorrow. As I drifted off into a beautiful slumber the last thing I remember thinking before I fell asleep was how Spencer had held my wrist that day, I have never fell asleep with such a grin on my face before.
I woke the next day the happiest I have in a very long time I quickly got ready for school and jumped into my black land cruiser my mum had brought me last year for my birthday. She probably though it would make me feel like she actually loved me, but like most of the time she was wrong. If she has really wanted me to love her she should have actually been here for my birthday.
When I arrived at the school I saw Kelly waiting for me by my usual parking spot. I hopped out of the car and walked to her.
"Hey Ash" she said looking kind of tense.
"Hi what's going on" I asked.
"Um….you know how after school today we were going to go hang by the beach?"
Holy crap I had totally forgot about that and I had gone ahead and made plans with Spencer, that sounds great doesn't it 'plans with Spencer' arrggh im distracting myself, but it does sound good.
"Yeah about that…sorry Kelly but I totally forgot and I have made other plans with Spencer" I said as fast as I could.
"Oh that's ok because I have to do something...……wait did you say Spencer as in THE Spencer Carlin?" she asked half shocked.
"Yeah" I tried to remain cool as if it was something that happened every day.
"Come on Kelly we have to go or we will be late for class" I calmly said and walked off.
"What? Since when did you care about being later for class and what are you and Spencer doing? Oh god please don't tell me your joining the cheer team?"
"What? No way I'm just helping her with math"
"Oh that interesting huh?" she said sarcastically, with a grin on her face.
I spent the rest of the day being pestered by Kelly, who was moaning about having to spend the holidays with her family in Minnesota.
It was finally last period and in 10 minutes Spencer would be coming over to my house. I was starting to get nervous, I didn't know what to say to her all I really knew about her was that she looked good in whatever she wore.
At last the last bell rang, I gathered up my stuff and quickly put it in my locker and made my way to my car. While I was walking to the car park I saw Spencer out of the corner of my eye it looked as if she was running towards me then I heard she shout my name out I turned to face her, she little out of breath.
"Hey do you mind if I get ride with you Glens going to need the car because he has practice?"
"That's fine" I felt my heart melt as she smiled thanking me.
"This is your car" the stunning blonde just stood there staring.
"Yeah my mum got it for my birthday last year" I confirmed while unlocking my car.
"It's even better on the inside I wish my mum would buy me a car" she put on her seatbelt and felt the leather of the interior.
"Is this real leather" she asked.
"No I don't like the idea of real leather"
"Are you against animal cruelty?" she asked.
"No I'm just scared for life because my dad lived in his leather pants he brought in the 80's." Spencer laughed.
I like the idea of making Spencer laugh, I smiled and we drove in silence.
"We're here"
"Wow I thought you just lived with your mum" the beauty asked.
I turned to her, smiled and simply answered "I do" she smiled back.
I parked the car out the front, Spencer grabbed her bag out of the back and we headed to the door. I unlocked the huge brown stained wood door, I passed through but Spencer just stood there I looked at her and asked
"Are you coming in?" she shock out of her daze and answered
"Oh yeah sorry, your house is just so beautiful and huge" she stated still staring at house.
I couldn't help but smile at the fact that Spencer was in love with my house maybe one day she will love me like that 'ok that's just dumb Ashley' the smile left my face as I pondered the weird things running through my head.
"Do you want something to drink or eat" I asked Spencer.
"Nah I'm fine thanks" god she was so polite.
We walked up the stairs and entered my room.
"Its is pretty cool in here"
I sat on my bed while she had a little look around which kind of made me feel nervous. After a while she came and sat next to me on MY BED I had now officially gotten her in my bed, well sit on it at least. We sat there for a while, she was just looking at me, it was quite intimidating having such a beautiful girl staring at you so I broke the silence.
"Shouldn't we get started on your math now" I managed to stumble out.
"Yeah that's why I'm here" she forced a smile.
We got up and went over my homework desk to get started.
"I don't know why I took this extended math class I think maybe I thought it would make me smarter" I had no idea what to say because I know she's not the greatest at math so I decided to comfort her.
"You already are smart" it must have worked because she smiled at me.
"Thanks, but hopefully you can make me smarter" she said while nudging my arm.
After a few intense hours of math's tutoring Spencer got a call from her mum telling her that its getting late and that she should be getting home I offered to take her home and fortunately for me she accepted.
I helped her pack up her stuff and we headed down to the car.
It was mainly a silent ride except for the small directions she was giving me.
When we arrived at the Carlin residents Spencer turned to me.
"Thanks for the helping me out Ashley it means a lot to me."
"Its ok really I wasn't doing anything anyways it was a good way to kill time" I happily replied.
"Yeah, would it be ok if you could help me again sometime?" she asked.
"Yeah its totally cool look ill give you my number and just call me when you want some more help" she handed me her phone so I could put my number in it.
"Thanks again I'll see you later then" I smiled and waved bye.
She got out and went over to her door and turned to give me a final wave goodbye.
Well that was defiantly a good day and I think Spencer may actually like me, well I hope she does, I could deal with her just being her friend its better than nothing and that's all I have at the moment.
When I got back home I slipped into some pj's and laid down in bed watching some TV wondering when Spencer will call, I know she wont call tonight but I hope she does over the weekend because Kelly's not here and it would be cool to hang out with Spencer again even if we are doing math.
It was late Wednesday afternoon and I was just walking in the front door from a long day at the beach when I heard a buzzing noise coming from my hand bag I quickly realized it was my phone, I reached in and flipped it open.
"Hello"
"Oh hi Ashley…its Spencer" a huge grin formed on my face.
"I was just wondering if you were doing anything tomorrow because I thought you could help me with my math again?" the girl really didn't need to ask, I would take a bullet for her let alone teach her math
"Yeah sure that's fine by me just drop by my place around 4ish"
"Awesome it's a date ill bring the pizza"
"Sweet, Hawaiian it's my favorite"
"Even better that's my favorite too just make sure you have some sherbet ice cream that's my ultimate favorite food"
"Haha you have to be kidding I would die without sherbet ice cream" and you.
"Ok we are like math partners made in heaven"
I giggled like the school girl I am, this is incredible we are having a conversation and we have things in common this must be what heaven is like. I could hear someone talking to Spencer in the background.
"Hey Ashley I've got to go but ill see you tomorrow" I said bye and she hung up.
I couldn't wait until tomorrow I was like a kid waiting for Christmas.
I didn't go to school the next day Thursday's are my worst days so I stayed at home watching the Simpson's and eating chocolate it was pretty lazy of me seeing as it was the second last day of school before our holidays. Next thing I remember was waking up on my couch with melted chocolate on my shirt. I looked at the time and saw that it was already 3 30 Spencer could be here any minute. I quickly cleaned up and headed for the shower I turned the taps on and went to get some clothes. When I got back there was water all over the floor the plug must have been blocked up. I reached over to turn the taps off but I slipped and lost my footing.
