Chapter 4

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate alarm clocks? No. Well here. I HATE THEM. I hate Mondays as well. I should probably get up and start getting ready for my first day of school.

An hour later, I walk into the kitchen to get something to eat before school. Clay is sitting at the counter eating some pancakes and looking over his schedule for the 9 millionth time in the past week. I don't get why he needs to look over it so much. I walk up and sit beside him.

"Morning honey, you want some breakfast?"

"Yes please"

"You excited for your first day kids?"

"Not really"

"I am. New school. New people. New clubs." Bet you can guess which answer goes to which kid.

"I am ready to meet the hot babes at school" I bet you can guess who that was.

"Glen, you are so ignorant. What makes you think they would want anything to do with you?"

"Cuz I'm hot"

"Cocky much"

"Ok kids calm down and eat breakfast before you leave."

"Glen, we should probably leave now because we are supposed to go to the principal's office before homeroom."

"Why do we have to go to his office?"

"I don't know, maybe he just wants to welcome us but either way we have to so let's go."

"Ok ok, we are going but I'm driving."

"And I'm sitting in the back!"

"Me too"

"How come no one ever sits up front with me? It makes me look like I'm your driver or something."

"Well maybe if you didn't drive as bad as you do, we would want to sit up front with you"

"Whatever" And we are out the door and off to school.

As we pull out of the driveway, I glance down the street and over to the mansion but can't see Ashley's car. Maybe she parked it in the garage. Fifteen minutes later we are pulling into the parking lot at school. There is hardly anyone here. We get out of the car and start walking to the building when I see someone standing at the entrance looking around. Her back is to us but I think she looks familiar. As we get closer I realize from behind it's Ashley.

"Thought you weren't a morning person?" She turned around a little startled.

"You scared me and I'm not but if I get to see you this early in the morning then I guess I'm going to become an early person."

"Well, seeing me this early is definitely a plus" I said smiling back to her.

"Hey baby, so when you going to let me take you on that date?"

"How many am I gonna have to tell you that is it never going to happen?"

"Whatever you say sexy. But I guarantee that I'll have you before the end of the month" With that he walks away.

"I'm sorry about him, he is ignorant and lacks any real brains. He also thinks that he is the hottest person to ever walk this planet."

"Well there is a Carlin that is definitely the hottest person to ever walk this planet but he is definitely not it" With that she turns around and walked away leaving me standing there with my jaw on the ground. I ran to catch up with her.

"Ok what was that supposed to mean?"

"Figure it out"

"Ok, you are so not funny right now"

"Actually, I think I'm hilarious"

"Ha ha whatever. Ok I have to go talk to the principal for a few minutes. He wants to see us. What homeroom do you have?"

"You suck. I have Mr. Bitner. You?"

"Damn. I have Mrs. Stone"

"Well what about 1st period?"

"Biology with Mr. Johnson"

"Me too. So I will see you then. If you get there before me then save me a seat."

"I definitely will, you better do the same if you get there first."

"Trust me, I will."

"K, I'll see you later then"

"Bye"

I walk into the principal's office and there was an old man with gray hair sitting behind the desk.

"Welcome to Colonial High School, I'm Principal Rivers. Ok, so I have Senior Glen, Senior Clay, and Junior Spencer. Wait aren't I supposed to have 3 boys here?"

"No sir, my name is Spencer"

"Oh. I see. Sorry, usually Spencer is a boy's name"

"It's ok. It happens all the time"

"Are you familiar with your schedules?"

"Yes sir, we are all familiar with them and ready to start."

"Ok. Well then I guess there is nothing left to discuss here. If you have any questions, just come see me. Enjoy your first day here!"

And with that, we walked out of his office and towards our homeroom. He did tell us that the first bell for homeroom had already gone off but we should still have 2 minutes to get there.

I walked into homeroom and sat down at a chair in the back of the room. I wasn't going to know anyone in this class because Ashley is the only person I know besides my brothers. A boy walked in right after me and sat down in the desk next to mine.

"Hey I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"

"Yea, today is my first day."

"Cool, my name is Aiden"

"I'm Spencer"

"Cool. So how long have you been in Orlando?"

"Um, about a week I guess"

"That's cool. If you need anyone to show you around, I'd be happy to. This place is big and can take a while to get used to."

"Thanks but someone already showed me around, sorry"

"That's cool so you already made a friend?"

All I did was shake my head yes.

"That's good. It must've sucked to have to leave all your friends back home. Where are you from?"

"Rhode Island and yes it did. But I made a really good friend over the weekend." I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Ashley.

"That's cool. Do they go to this school or another school?"

"They go to this school"

"Well, at least you already know someone here."

"Yea, it's kind of nice to know someone here"

Just then this girl walked up, sat next to Aiden and gave me a death glare.

"Hey chica, your new here. I'm Madison and Aiden is my boyfriend. Welcome to Colonial."

"Wow, you're a lot nicer then you look, no offense."

"None taken cuz I'm usually not nice lol and if I find out you want my man than I will definitely be the biggest bitch you have ever seen"

"Well you don't have to worry about that. Sorry Aiden but you're not my type."

"It's cool, I love Maddy and wouldn't leave her for anything."

"Aw baby, you're so sweet"

"So anyway, who is this friend?"

"Huh? Oh, her name is Ashley. Ashley Davies"

"Chica, you need to leave her alone and stay as far away from her as you can. Ashley Davies is bad news."

"Why?"

"She just has a bad reputation. She is known for going out, finding girls, sleeping with them, and then tossing them away. She only uses girls for one thing. She doesn't do relationships and she is the biggest dyke you will ever meet."

"That doesn't sound like the Ashley I know"

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay"

"If you want to be friends with her then go ahead all I'm saying is don't be surprised if people are against you cuz of it."

"Thanks"

And the bell rang. I didn't feel like going to 1st period now so I went to the nurse's office and said I had a headache and decided to lay down for a little bit.

I must have dozed off because when I woke up we were in 3rd period. I looked at my phone and noticed I had 3 new text messages, all from Ashley.

Hey where were u durin 1st pd? xo -A

Is everything ok? xo -A

Im starting to get worried, r u mad at me? xo -A

I told the nurse that I was feeling a lot better and went to my next period. I honestly didn't know if I'd see Ashley anymore today but I wasn't going to worry about it. Before I knew it, it was lunch time. I exited the cafeteria with my tray of food and tried to find a place to sit down. As I looked around I found 2 faces that I recognized from my homeroom, Aiden and Madison. As I started walking around I heard Aiden calling my name.

"Hey Spencer over here, you can sit with us." I walked over and sat down next to Madison.

"So chica, how is your first day going so far."

"Ok I guess. I mean it's just like any other school just different people."

"You ok? You seem a little different from this morning?"

Just then I looked up and saw her walking out of the cafeteria, I could tell she was looking for me. As soon as she spotted me she smiled then looked around and saw who I was sitting with, she lost her smile and instead started shaking her head. She didn't even try to come talk to me. Maybe Aiden and Madison were right about her.

"Chica? Chica? You ok? You kinda spaced there for a sec"

"Yea I'm fine but I'm going to get out of here."

I only had 2 more periods to get through and hopefully they wouldn't include Ashley. When I walked into my 4th period class she wasn't in there, the bell rang and she still wasn't there. Maybe I got lucky and she won't be in this class. Then the door opened and she walked in.

"Ah Ms. Davies, nice of you to join us"

"Yea well had nothing better to do so figured I might as well stop by" She said like it was nothing and took a seat completely opposite of me in front of the room in the corner by the window. She didn't even try to look at me and I know that she saw me when she first walked in because she quickly turned her head. She sat through the whole class looking out the window. I don't even think she knows what the teacher was talking about. Then the bell rang and she was the first one to exit the room. My last class did not include her, thankfully. It ended up going by really quick and then I was sitting at my brother's car waiting for them to show up so we could go home. Once I got home I went upstairs, did my homework and laid down. My phone was still on silent and I hadn't even looked at it since I was at the nurse. I didn't even look at it when I got home. After my homework was done, I laid down on my bed, put in Beauty and the Beast and fell asleep. I woke up to silence. I looked around and noticed it was dark outside. I looked over to my nightstand to see what time it was, 11:43. I slept the evening away. My dad didn't even wake me up for dinner. Speaking of dinner, I should probably eat something. I quickly got up to change and started heading downstairs. Finding the kitchen completely empty, I decided to look in the fridge to see if dad saved me any leftovers to eat. I opened the door and saw a plate with a note on it in the fridge.

Spencer,

I went upstairs to let you know dinner was ready but you looked peaceful while you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you. Your brothers said you were off on the car ride home so just figured you might need some sleep. I saved you a plate from dinner knowing you would eventually wake up and be hungry. Enjoy honey and I'll see you in the morning. Night, I love you.

Love,

Daddy!

I folded the note, put it in my pocket and took the plate from the fridge. I took the wrapping that was around it off and put it in the microwave to heat it up. While it was heating up I grabbed a drink, fork, knife, and napkins. As soon as I got everything ready to eat the buzzer on the microwave went off indicating it was done. I took it out carefully aware that it's hot and placed it on the counter while I shut the door. I grabbed everything I needed and headed up stairs to my room. I finally remembered I never checked my phone all afternoon, 4 text messages and 1 voicemail. I decide to check my text messages first, 3 of them were from 2 friends back home just asking h ow everything is going here and the other 1 is from Ashley…

Hey xo -A

Now I should check my voicemail. I dialed out, entered my password and waited to hear who it is and what they have to say. Of course, it's from Ashley…

L ook Spencer I don't know what happened at school today but if I did something to upset you I'm sorry. I saw you sitting with Madison and Aiden, I know that's probably the reason why you're not talking to me. They probably told you stuff about me that I hadn't yet told you myself and probably some lies. I hope I haven't lost you as a friend. Text me or call me, I don't care what time of night it is…

She sounds so hurt. I feel like I should give her the chance to explain everything, and that's what I'm going to do…

Hey, I kno its late. Im sry for ignoring and avoiding u at school, it was wrong. If u want u can take me to school tomorrow and we can talk bout it. Just let me kno xo -S

About 20 minutes later I got a response.

Sure. I'll be at ur house round 7 donuts and coffee on me xo -A

I went to sleep not sure what to think about everything Aiden and Madison told me today. Ashley doesn't seem like that type of person. Maybe they just don't know her. I guess I will get the answers to all these questions in the morning….

So there is chapter 4. Spencer will find out if Aiden and Madison are right about what they are telling her in the next chapter and we will find out Ashley's side of the story. Please leave feedback!
