Chapter Two

Hot N Cold

"Spencer, where were you, girl?" Madison asked Spencer. When the blonde gave her a confused look, she added. "You didn't meet us at the gym after first period."

"Oh, sorry. I was at the library," she said, her thoughts not entirely on Madison.

"You skipped?" the Latina asked with a little shock in her voice.

"No, I was allowed in a way," she said, glancing at the head cheerleader. She was taking the notes for her second period, Pre-Calculus class. She already went over this in her sophomore year, but she really didn't want to deal with the girl who was trying to be her best friend. Madison gave her a small confused look and then shrugged, turning to her other side to talk to Sheri. Thank god, Spencer thought. Yeah, the Latina was cool, sometimes, but the girl wanted to know where she was twenty four/seven. I bet she's gay, too, Spencer thought and smirked a bit at that. That would be a little funny.

Spencer had figured out she had liked girls back in Ohio. She actually had three girlfriends down there, not one of them was her world though. She was still looking for that one. She liked Davies, of course, but the look on her face when Spencer messed with her, it made the blonde laugh. Spencer wanted to mess with her a bit, see the real her and get to know her before she actually starts thinking about a relationship. For now, she's set on playing hard to get.

Ashley chewed on her gum as she looked at the principal, hoping that she'd let her drop this new schedule. "But Mr. P, being a peer means helping teachers. I don't like teachers, no offense. I like principals, actually that's a lie. But I like you, you're amazing. It's just, teachers, they don't like me, and they may like send me into a room and have another teacher lock it or something," she said, being a little too overdramatic about it, but hey, anything to drop the class.

He sighed and pushed his glasses back a bit so they were fixed right. "Look Ash, I was nice enough to give you two free periods because you've done amazing your four years of school except a few behavioral problems," by a few, he means thousands. "So be nice enough to just be a peer for this class. She could use help with grading papers and watching the class when she has to step out of the room for a minute. Just, please, Ashley," he said.

Ashley made a face and crossed her arms. "Not cool, Mr. P, not cool. You just give me a guilt trip," she snatched the schedule back from him and looked at the room number. "Fine, I'll do it. But if this teacher doesn't like me-"

"You can have this as free period again. But it has to be a real reason, and believable," he said before smiling at her. "Thank you, that'll stop her complaints for awhile.

She's a complainer, great. "You owe me, Principal Finkel, you owe me," she said, though he really didn't. He's gotten her out of trouble so many times, she owes him a lot. Eh, we'll just be even now. She quickly found herself to the room and walked in, not even taking a second to look at the people in there, she didn't really care. All she wanted to do was make the period fly by. "Hola, Mrs. D, I shall be your savior for this school year, being you peer and all," she said, even though the teacher was in the middle of explaining how something Ashley could care less about doing. The teacher glared at her for a second before her faced lit up.

"Peer? Thank god. There's test on my desk that need to be graded. The answer key is on top of it. If you can do as many periods as possible," she said.

Ashley just merely nodded before going to the desk and going through the test. She flew by second periods, some test she was tempted to scribble stuff out and put wrong answers, but there was no way Mr. P could get her out of that referral so she decided against it. She had scholarships that she wanted to keep even though she could pay to get in, it was nice feeling smart.

When she got to third periods, she slowed down. She only had like ten minutes left for that period but she really only had to do second periods, and her hand hurt, so she just decided to look for Rae's test, since she had Mrs. Darber next. Instead of finding Rae's though, she found Spencer's, or least she thought it was Spencer's. Her lips twitched up into a smile, seeing that the last name dilemma had been solved. Carlin, hmm? That's cute. Spencer Carlin. She grabbed the answer key and began grading Spencer's, only needing to glance back and forth from the answer key to her test, which pretty much looked exactly like the answer key. She smiled and in red sharpie wrote, 100. Good Job ,at the top. She put it down, making sure she put it in a pile for third period graded test and made her way for grading as many as she could before the bell rang. When it did, she didn't rush out of there, she actually finished the last one that needed to be graded, which was Rae's and she got a 90, and put the test into neat stack for the teacher. The only reason she was doing that was because she wanted to catch Spencer since this was her third period class, tell her she knew her last name. And to see her.

Ashley gathered her stuff and began to walk out the door, as soon as she went to turn down the hall, Spencer was coming down it. The blonde smiled when she saw her and Ashley reflexively smiled back. "Hello Carlin," she said with a smirk. Spencer looked at her with a small smirk, though she was noticeably taking aback that the brunette figured out her last name.

"Are you a stalker or something? First you pop out of my next class and then you know my last name. That kind of screams out 'stalker', you know?" the blonde said playfully, leaning against the wall as she talked to the brunette.

Ashley smirked. "Actually, I'm a peer for her second period, as of today at least, and I graded your test. Their aren't that many Spencer's around here, so I assumed it was you," Actually, now I hoped it. What if it wasn't? That'd be a little embarrassing.

"Mm, I should've played dumb," Okay, does this girl read minds? "What'd I get on the test?"

"Dude, you failed badly. I mean, I almost didn't want to grade it," she lied, trying to keep a smirk off of her face.

Spencer's faces twisted into a small frown, making Ashley almost want to tell the truth but she stood her ground. "I knew I was going to tank it. Guess I didn't study hard enough," she said and then glanced up at the clock that was on the wall. "Well, I got to get to class. See you at the library, fifth period?"

"It's a date," the brunette said and watched Spencer walk a few steps to her class. Ashley turned around, still smiling as she began making her way to journalism.

--

Spencer put her stuff down and got her notebook out to do the 'Do Now' that was up on the board. Her teacher thought she was funny and but 'Not Later', thinking that would make the students get the point. They did, they just didn't want to do it.

She bit her lip softly as she thought about the question. Which would be better, the sun making the Earth's tempature go warmer or colder? Explain. Spencer honestly had no idea. If there was one thing that Spencer sucked at, was space science. It was hard for her since she just wasn't interested at all with it, it was just boring. Stupid scientist who had to try to figure out what was out there. If we just minded our own business, we wouldn't have this stupid shit. She thought. She jotted down a guess before hearing the teacher call her name. "Hm?"

"Come get your test," Mrs. Darber told her and she groaned as she got up. She wondered how bad she did. She really spaced out when she was studying for that test and hardly tried to read information in the textbook. She knew she flunked. She got up from her chair and walked over to get the paper, not even looking at it until she was at her seat. She was dumbfounded when she saw the 100 written neatly on the paper. She smiled a little too big when she saw the 'Good Job' on there.

Yeah, I no doubt like this Davies.

--

Ashley made it to Journalism right before the bell rang and sat in her usual seat next to her sister, who glared at her, obviously still irritated since she didn't let her drive the car. She'll get over it. Haley walked in a little after the bell rang, Ashley knew who she was with since her lip gloss was a little smudged, and took the other seat next to Ashley and turned to towards the brunette, almost yanking her out of the chair.

"Tell me about what happened in the library," her friend said.

Ashley fixed her shirt, since that was how she was yanked, before saying anything. "We talked, that's it," it wasn't completely a lie. Haley gave her a look, telling her that she thought there was more to the story. "And she's cool. I may like her," okay that was a lie. She knew that she liked her but Haley knew he better than that, so she knew the truth. It was just how they talked about people they liked, but the other knew the truth.

"You really like her; you want to marry her, you-"

"Can you be anymore 'Mrs. Congeniality'?" the brunette asked, giving her a small glare. "I don't even know if she's gay. Plus, there's that thing, at home," she said, whispering the last part.

"She's seems understanding enough for the last part," Haley said. Like that would be the easiest thing to explain. 'Oh hey Spencer, I gotta tell you something-'

"What are you guys talking about?" her sister cut into her thoughts and she looked over at her.

"Ashley's got a new crush," Haley answered for her. Ashley turned her head to glare at Haley before she got another question asked to her.

"Oh, who?"

"This Spencer chick,"

"You know I can answer for myself," Ashley said, but they seemed to ignore her.

"Carlin?" Ashley looked at her sister.

"How do you know her?"

"Spirit Team," her sister said like it was the obvious thing in the world. Ashley had forgotten Kyla was on the squad, maybe it was because she didn't have to wait after school for her anymore since she got her license and it's not like she attends any of the games.

"Right."

"She's straight, I hope you know. Madison thinks she's crushing on Aiden," Kyla said. The other two girls' faces curled up into disgust when that was said.

"Ew," they said in unison.

"Maybe you shouldn't like her. If you like him, you have the worse taste in the world," Haley said, still shuddering at the thought.

"Uhm, hello? I like him," Kyla said defensively.

"Ew. I did not know that."

"Anyways, back to you liking straight girl here, at least you have good taste. She has amazing eyes. If I could choose the eye color for me, it'd be hers," the younger Davies' said.

Ashley held back her smile when she thought of those eyes and instead teased her little sister. "Sometimes I wonder if you're gay, too."

"Ewwww! Ashley!" her sister whined, causing some of the class to look at them.

That must've snapped Mr. Q's attention because all of a sudden he was done with whatever he was doing. "Sorry, I was grading some papers. So who has their articles done?"

The three girls raised their hands. If there was one class that Ashley loved the most, it would be this one. And not only because it was basically a free period most of time since he let them work on their articles during class and she's usually done with hers, but because she loved writing. She was one of the student editors for him, so were Haley and about three other seniors. But Ashley was editor of chief of all the editors, worked on the Newspaper layout (since they did the Newspaper), and helped Mr. Q grade. She really loved this class and took it all four years of high school.

"Good, good. Ashley, do what you do, and if any problems, come to me," he said and then went back to his laptop. She knew he was editing over her work from last week. They desperately tried to do a Newspaper every three weeks but that had been proven hard.

--

After third period, came fourth period, and after fourth period came fifth period.

Ashley sat in front of one of the computers and was already on Myspace when Spencer came in. It was almost as if Ashley could feel the blonde come in because right when Spencer opened the door, Ashley glanced back to see her enter, the smile she got every time she saw her on her face. Spencer smiled back at her and took the seat next to her.

"Okay, brownie, show me how to get on Myspace," she said. Ashley tilted her head at her with a weird look.

"Brownie?"

"Yes, brownie. Sooner or later, you're going to call me blondie, so I mine as well start calling you brownie."

"Actually, technically, if you think about it, the correct term for that would be brunettie," she said with a smirk. Spencer laughed at the comment.

"That was a good one, Davies," she said with a small smirk.

In that moment, Ashley realized that Spencer had never said her name. It was always, 'Davies' or now 'brownie', but never Ashley. She kind of wanted to hear Spencer say her name now, with her sexy little voice. "Yeah, well anyway, just log in and I'll do the work," she said and watched Spencer log in. Spencer glanced at her, and Ashley almost felt as if she needed to look away, but instead she just continued to look at the blonde, smiling slightly.

"I'm mad at you," the younger girl said randomly, causing the older girl to raise an eyebrow.

"Why is that?"

"You lied to me."

"When did I lie to- Ooohh," Ashley said and laughed a bit, remembering the test thing. "Eh, you were going to find out sooner or later. I just wanted to make you smile when you got your test or something," the brunette admitted, slightly sheepish about it.

"Even though you wouldn't see it?" the blonde asked, glancing back at the computer screen to see that it had loaded up to her homepage.

The brunette shrugged. "But you did," she said with a small smile. Spencer tilted her head to the side and smiled lightly at her. Ashley's heart might've skipped a beat because she looked so adorable.

"You're sweet for admitting that," the blonde said, but before Ashley said anything, or could think of anything to say, she turned back to her computer. "So, Ms. Hacker, how do we do this?" Ashley pushed Spencer's chair aside, since they were rolling ones, making Spencer laugh a bit. "Hey!" she said and rolled the chair right next to Ashley. And by right next, that means thighs touching right next. It made it hard for Ashley to focus on that then look at Spencer, but she did it. Within a minute, Ashley had gotten her onto Myspace. "How did you do that?"

"I just made you an administrator. They can't see what you're on and you can go on anything," she said and rolled over to her computer to check her stuff. The only thing she had was the message from the ex girlfriend and she considered checking it.

"Kayla's in Law Study's with me," the blonde said, referring to her ex. "She's pretty cool."

Ashley looked over at her and bit the side of her lip that didn't have a lip ring, trying to decide if she should let her know who that was to her. "That's my ex girlfriend," she told her. "We went out for awhile."

"Why'd you break up?" she asked curiously.

"Reasons," the brunette said softly. Spencer got the point and didn't say anything else. "Do you mind? I don't know what the message is going to say, so..." she asked nicely. Spencer nodded and turned her attention towards her Myspace. Ashley opened the message and read through it.

Hey Ash.

Look, I'm not sure if were friends or not, but I know you love music. I have two extra tickets to a Nickelback concert and if you want them both, you can have em. I got them for free so it's not like your taking anything, really.

And I still want to be friends. I get why we broke up, and I won't hold it against you. You're a fun person to hang around so don't be afraid talk to me.


Think about the concert.

Peace

Kayla was a country girl. She didn't have the accent, but her heart belonged there. She loved most country music, she rode horses, she hunted with her dad, and her style was usually a white shirt, jeans and cowboy boots, but she was a great person. Really pretty, nice to talk too. She had a Marilyn Monroe piercing and was always asking Ashley if she would go with her to get a tattoo while they were dating but they never got around to it.

She had always been a sweetheart. Ashley thought before replying.

Of course, Kay, I'd love to have the tickets, that's really nice of you (considering everything I've put you through / you're too nice). But thanks, really, that's super nice of you.

And I do too. I miss hanging up with you and I'm really glad you forgive me (or at least I hope you have).

Give me the rest of the info later

Peace

She sent the message and the looked over at Spencer, seeing she was looking through her pictures. Ashley almost drooled when she saw one of Spencer in a bikini, but then saw something else that caught her attention. "Wait, wait, you have a tattoo?" she asked surprised. The blonde nodded and lifted her shirt up. It was on the side of her stomach and it was a rose with a few pedals falling down but it looked like it had all of the pedals. Ashley did what Spencer had done with her bellybutton ring and lightly touched it, feeling her hand over it. "It's cool," she said, still lightly touching it. "What does it mean?" She asked, removing her hand and looked up at Spencer.

The blonde released her shirt and looked at Ashley. "That no matter how much I've gone through, I can make it through and still be me," she said simply. Ashley nodded with a smile.

"I like that idea. It's really cool and has a really good meaning," she said.

"Yeah, it got me through some stuff," she said with a small smile and kept going through the pictures.

Ashley nodded a bit and smiled before turning back to her computer.

I really hope this girl isn't straight. And she can accept my past.

Author's Note:

Okay, that's a long ass chapter. I did this ALL in one day. But things you should know:

The principal's name is infact Mr. Finkel, I didn't mess up there, but Ashley calls him Mr. P because that stands for Mr. Principal for her.

There is infact and a big secret that Ashley has that only a select few people of Ashley has and that will be in the next chapter

The OC's (Original Characters) are going to play big roles in here. Kayla, Ashley's recent ex, is going to be big in here and I may even have a small chapter or little section all to some of the OC's view.


Aiden is going to make a show being Haley's brother and all, I just haven't fitted him in there yet. Same with Chelsea, Clay, and Glen.

Madison, Spencer, and Kyla are juniors. I don't know if that may pop up or not so I decided just tell you here.

Uhm. I think that's it.


I'm not really sure of I like this chapter or not. I think I do but I may not. So tell me what you think and review, cause I love em.

And hopefully this chapter will hold you over for awhile :
