AN: Hey guys I'm really sorry I just realized I uploaded chapter four before chapter three! I hope this doesn't confuse anyone! I'm sorry but hey at least it's another update haha! Thanks everyone for review I really love reading what you have to say!
"And thats the reason why we must all be concerned about the Salmon's swimming pattern" Mrs. Zachary said as she looked at the clock. "Well it's 11:30 I'm off to Lunch I hope you are all as well!" She spoke cheerily as she picked up a brown bag and waddled into the hallway.
Spencer rubbed her eyes and walked out of the classroom. She had spent the last hour watching a movie on swimming patterns of Salmon. So naturally that meant once Mrs. Zacahary dimmed the lights Spencer opened her notebook and began to write a letter to her oldest friend Jamie back home in Ohio. She hadn't been able to talk to Jamie in two weeks because she was in between jobs and hadn't been able to pay her cell phone bill. Her parents refused to chip in because they felt "cell phones are intrusive to family life". So Spencer had to settle on writing a letter to explain all of her emotions.
Spencer always found writing to be therapeutic because it was an easy way to track emotions. With everything written down it wasn't hard to actually understand the root of all problems and Spencer was pretty certain she knew what the root of her problems were.
"Spencer, wait up!" Spencer turned around to see Madison smiling broadly at her. "I thought we could eat lunch together today. Considering you're new and all."
"That'd be great! Thanks" Spencer said as she felt the blood rushing to her cheeks and looked directly at the ground to avoid Madison's gaze.
"It's this way" Madison said as she reached for Spencer's hand. Spencer interlocked their fingers and couldn't help but feel her heart skip as she allowed Madison to lead her to lunch.
I can't be thinking like this again. It must be because I like to be close to people. I can't be...no, no never. It's not possible. I find tons of guys attractive like...Aiden. Aiden. Spencer's stomach dropped as she remembered exactly who Aiden was dating...
"And here's our table" Madison said as she set her tray down at an empty table a few spaces away from every one else.
"How exclusive" Spencer joked. "And thanks for waiting for me while the chicken was being broiled! You could've sat down and I would've found you later."
"It's no big deal!" Madison said twisting her pasta with her fork and placing it into her mouth. "It happens. Anyway, tell me about yourself. Any boyfriends? Where are you from and all that!"
Spencer tried to keep her hands from shaking recognizing they were only a few inches from Madison. She wondered if she could "accidentally" brush their fingers together.
Spencer shook her head attempting to rid that absurd thought from her mind. "Well, I lived in a small town in Ohio. My mom and dad moved me and my two brothers out here because my mother got a well paying job as a surgeon." Spencer took a sip of her water and continued. "I don't have a boyfriend, but there are some cute guys out here" She added hoping she sounded sincere. And she was being sincere...at least she thought she was.
"Who are your brothers?" Madison asked looking directly into Spencer's eyes. Madison's gaze was so intense Spencer felt like Madison was looking into her soul. It made her slightly uncomfortable so she shifted her eyes.
"Glenn and Clay. Glenn plays basketball."
"Oh right I think I saw him. Girl he is cute!" Madison said sticking a fork full of salad into her mouth.
"Ew! Thats my brother!" retorted Spencer "And anyway don't you have a boyfriend!" Spencer added raising an eye brow in hopes to sound casual.
Madison ran a hand through her hair. "Ashley told you I'm assuming. But, yeah Aidan and I have been dating for two years now. He's really a sweet guy and I feel so terrible about what happened with Ash. She was a great friend to me." Madison looked at something in the distance and seemed to be lost in her thoughts.
Spencer took advantage of Madison's zone out time to admire her features. She was absolutely stunning. There was something about this girl that made Spencer want to know everything about her. She exuded confidence and uniqueness that was hard to find. Spencer noticed countless boys starring at Madison as she ate her lunch. She had a feeling Madison was the girl that every guy wanted and every girl wanted to be...or maybe even some girls wanted her as well.
"Anyway," Madison said breaking the silence. "Tell me more about you!"
Spencer was blown away by Madison's sincerity. She'd never had someone pay such attention to her when she spoke.
"Haha there's not much to tell!" Spencer urged. Madison lowered her fork in response and stuck out her upper lip. She dropped her eyes and said "Pleeeeease" in the cutest voice Spencer had ever heard.
"Fine Fine" Spencer giggled. "I have a best friend named Jamie. She knows more about me than anyone. We've been close since kindergarden. She doesn't have a phone though so it sucks not being able to talk to her"
"What would you talk to her about now" Madison probed her hand lingering dangerously close to Spencer's. Spencer noticed how close their hands were but was afraid to look down just in case Madison would realize and move her hand away.
"Um, just the transition to a new school, making friends and stuff." Spencer rambled nervously.
"Well" Madison moved her hand so it was resting on top of Spencer's "If you can't reach Jamie and you want to talk to me let me give you my number. I'd love to talk to you"
Madison opened her white clutch and pulled out her cell phone. "Here add yourself" she said as she handed the phone to Spencer. Their hands touched for a second longer than appropriate.
Spencer smiled inwardly and was amazed that she hadn't died from happiness yet. She quickly plugged in her number and name and handed the phone back to Madison.
"I'll call you later tonight. Lunch is ending now" Madison and Spencer both stood and threw out their trash. Madison leaned in for a hug and Spencer couldn't help but breathe in her intoxicating scent.
"See ya" Madison called as she walked down the hall way and out of sight leaving a stunned and breathless Spencer stranded on the quad incapable of moving.
This is bad. Spencer thought Really, really bad.
Ms. Issac had just dismissed the class from Psychology a few minutes late and Spencer was walking through the hall ways very confused. She was supposed to meet Glenn to see when he got out of practice but he was nowhere to be found. Spencer rounded the corner into the parking lot and she spotted Ashley waving from her porsche.
"Hey" Spencer said as she made her way towards Ashley.
"Hey. How was your first day?" Ashley said leaning against the side of her car.
"Okay, I guess as good as school can get" Spencer smiled and Ashley returned the gesture.
"So" Ashley started looking around the parking lot "Do you have a ride home? Or were you planning to brave the highway on foot?"
"Glenn's supposed to give me a ride. I was actually just looking for him because I've no idea when or where practice even IS let alone when it's over. This place has like 3 gyms."
"Haha well then hop in" Ashley said as she walked to the other side of the car and opened the passenger seat. "I'll be your driver for the day" Ashley bowed and motioned for Spencer to get in the car.
"Really? Thanks! Let me just text Glenn and tell him I've got a ride." Spencer took her blackberry from her pocket and typed a quick message to Glenn.
"You've a blackberry?" Ashley questioned "This means we have to be BBM friends. Type in your pin." Ashley demanded, taking her own blackberry out of the center console in her car and handing it to Spencer. "And while you're at it I might as well have your number" Ashley suggested.
"True, very true" Spencer remarked barely listening. She was so excited she was getting to drive around LA in a porsche and not have to sit in a sweaty gym all day.
"Alright all done" Spencer handed Ashley her cell phone back "I'll text you so you have my number!"
"Great" said Ashley with sincerity. "So lets tour this city" She said as she backed out of her parking space a little too fast and sped out of the lot way too fast.
Oh man Spencer thought this is going to end up bad, really bad she mused as she buckled her seat belt and allowed Ashley to show her LA.
