Hey, guys! Here's my next chapter. I would really appreciate some more reviews just to know what everyone likes and doesn't like. Thank you to the two reviews I have received so far from cocograeters09 and Charlee. Anyway, let me know what you think.

Tuesday is finally here again which means going to the ball park. This could be good and bad seeing as Madison said she has a surprise for me, but Pacey will undoubtedly be there. If Madison doesn't push it, I might not go to the ball park and just stay home. Dreaming about Ashley is okay, right? Even if I never get to see her again…

Hey, lazy ass. I know your lying in bed dreaming about Ashley (so pathetic ;)). So get your ass up and be ready in twenty minutes because I'll be on my way in ten. Madison definitely doesn't know how to send me a text without making fun of me or calling me a name or both. Good thing I love that girl. Guess my plan of staying home just went out the window.

Nineteen minutes later she is knocking on my door knowing that I started getting ready once I saw her car pull up.

"Come on, Spencer. It's your first week as a free woman and you are sitting in your room doing nothing. You just started getting ready, didn't you? I don't want to have to wait another half hour for you."

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Damn!" I say opening the door. I am dressed to impress in case I run into Pacey….or Ashley.

"Wow! Ya lil hoochie! Cover up!" Sounds like a normal reply from Madison.

"I have a hoodie. Calm your shit."

"Okay, but I'm not the one in almost nothing."

"Admit it! I look damn good." I say with a smirk

"You're my best friend so that's just weird. Not gonna happen. Let's go already!"

We jump in her monstrous truck and headed to the fields. One of the main reasons I don't put up too much of a fight when we are going somewhere together is because of her amazing truck she drives. It's big, loud, and has an amazing sound system. We roll up bumpin' Next To You by Mike Jones. It's one of our songs that we always have to listen to together.

I jump out of the passenger door and head towards the entrance where I see Carmen standing by someone in a hoodie. I figure it's one of her new "best friends" that she meets each week. I get closer and notice that the girl in the hoodie is a brunette. I start to get excited because I think it might be Ashley and that would explain Madison's excitement. I have to hold in my scream that I want to let out from my new found happiness.

My happiness soon drains away as I notice the brunette is not Ashley, but Carmen's cousin, Brooke. Brooke gives me a smile while Carmen explains that Brooke has recently moved from New York. It seems like everyone moves from New York these days. Now, I am thoroughly convinced that this is Madison's surprise since this girl is gay and she is trying to hook me up with new people after my breakup. This girl is pretty, but definitely no comparison to Ashley. Come to think of it, I don't even know if Ashley is interested in girls or guys.

Speaking of Ashley, here comes her sister, Kyla. Seeing as I have had quite a bit of disappointment in the past few minutes, I slip into the park trying not to get caught by my friends. I really don't want to admit to Madison or anyone else that I was expecting to see Ashley tonight. I slide into the snack bar area and find a table to sit at. I hear someone say can I borrow this chair and I respond without looking up.

"Yeah, sure, whatever."

"Wow, Spencer, thanks for being so nice." Who knows my name in here? Everyone is outside I thought. I look up and am completely thrown into shock.

"…..Uh…..Ashley?" My jaw slacks open at the sight of her before I realize how ridiculous I must look and close it immediately.

"No, Bob. Yes, Ashley. I just asked for the chair to get your attention, but obviously you must be not allowed to talk to strangers if you don't even look up when I say something." She laughs genuinely at this.

Now, my smile is coming out because a beautiful brunette is in close proximity to me. She is close enough to touch which feels like a dream. Please don't let me pass out again. I want to spend all the time I possibly can with this gorgeous girl. She takes a seat at my table and starts a conversation with me.

"So, isn't your ex here tonight?"

"Yeah, but I was forced to come here by Madison."

"You know that the only reason Madison made you come is because she knew I would be here, right? She thinks that we are going to best friends or something." My head snaps up in shock that this was her real surprise. I'm pretty sure Ashley has no clue that I want her as more than a friend.

"How'd you know that I'd be here? Wait how'd you talk to Madison?" I am so lost at this point.

"Have you met Carmen's cousin yet?" What does this have to do with anything? Is she trying to change the subject on me?

"Yeah?"

"She's from New York and I am from New York. We knew each other back then and she just moved out here, too. I was hanging out with her and we ran into Madison and Carmen. Madison hinted that you had "mentioned" me and told me to come tonight." The air quotes make me think that maybe she does know I want her.

"Hey, Spence! Can I talk to you for a second?" My attention is pulled towards Madison's voice.

"Sure. I'll be back in a minute, okay?"

"Yeah, take your time, Spence. I'm gonna head down and watch the softball game on Field #2." Ashley replies with a small smile.

"Okay, what is it, Madison?" I say with a hint of irritation in my voice. She points out the window of the snack bar towards a dirty blonde girl sitting with a few of her friends.

"You see that girl?" I nod my head and she continues. "That's Kylie and she is gay, as well as very attractive." I give her an accusing glare.

"Madi, you are with Carmen. Don't mess with that because you know it will come back to bite you."

"It's not like I'm going to go jump into bed with her, Spence. I just wanna get her number. Want to see who can get it first?" She looks at me with that devilish smirk she gets when doing something crazy.

"Well, alright, but I would rather be getting Ashley's number."

"You don't really think she is gay, do you?" I avert my eyes to try and hide the truth. "You do! Oh my god, Spencer!"

"Could you keep it down, Madison? I don't really want the whole ball park to know." I feel someone walk up beside me.

"To know what?" Carmen is next to us and I am done having this conversation.

"Well, Spencer was just sayin-"

"How I'm ready to go watch the game. I want to see who is going to win the game…. Well, and avoid Pacey." I say, thinking for the first time since arriving of my ex-girlfriend.

I find a seat a row and a few seats away from Kylie so as to set it up for Madison. She better be happy that I am willing to be her wingman tonight because I have my own agenda, too. Kylie starts talking to Madison while Carmen is away and I play along as the wingman. I finally begin searching for where Ashley went and see her, Kyla, and a few guys over on the other side of the field. I can't help but be jealous of the guys getting to talk to Ashley at the moment.

"I'll be back, alright Madi?"

"Where are you going? You aren't going to try and talk to Ashley are you?" She can read me like an open book. On the other hand, I don't even know how I would talk to her.

"No, just going to get a soda." She looks at me, studying me for a moment, but gives up and goes back to flirting with Kylie.

After I buy a soda, I sit by the window contemplating whether to go talk to Ashley or not. As soon as I am about to get up to talk to her, Madison walks in following Kylie and a few of her friends. They all sit in a booth and start talking while I see this as a good opportunity to play along with the game of who can get Kylie's number first.

"Hey guys, what's up?" I say hoping they don't stare at me awkwardly. An awkward moment is definitely occurring, though.

"Guys, this is my best friend, Spencer. Sit down, make yourself comfortable." Madison finally speaks up after letting me look like a complete fool.

After a few minutes of listening to the group talk, Ashley shows up and moves into the booth while making a smooth introduction of her to the others. Kylie definitely takes an interest in Ashley which makes me slightly aggravated. Now, Ashley shows an interest in Kylie, which I figure this could be good and bad. Good because this means she could like girls, but bad because that interest isn't in me.

"Hey I'll be right back, alright?" Kylie says after taking a sip of her drink. After she is gone for a minute, Madison realizes her phone got left behind on the table.

"You wanna have some fun with this?" Madison asks showing her famous smirk once again.

We pull up some nude girls on the internet trying to make it her background, but couldn't get the picture to stay as her background. I come up with the idea of putting someone as the background on her phone and she jumps on the idea. Madison gets on Facebook and starts scrolling through her friends list. One of the people she comes across is Ashley and I grab the phone from her, select her profile, and choose a picture to set as the background.

"You have to be kidding me, right?" She says in a whisper. "You are obsessed, Spence."

To my luck, the picture wouldn't save on Kylie's phone and we have to save it to my phone, send it to Kylie's, then set it as the background. This gives me a reason to have a picture of Ashley and I get Kylie's phone number first. We set the phone back in its place seconds before Kylie returns.

"Why did you guys have my phone?" Kylie definitely saw us with it. She plays with her phone for several minutes before noticing the obvious background.

I look up towards Ashley to see that the phone dilemma has definitely caught her attention which was exactly what I wanted. Right about that time, Carmen comes up to the table with a pissed off look on her face and asks Madison to follow her. She reluctantly gets up and follows her girlfriend out of the building.

With my attention turned back towards the table, I see that Kylie is flirting with Ashley, but I can't tell if Ashley is flirting back. Regardless of Ashley's part in the conversation, I am very angry because Kylie is flirting with the girl I am trying to get at. The angels must have been watching over me at that point, though because Kylie had to leave to play her next game of softball, leaving me and Ashley alone.

"So, how long you think their fight will be?" Ashley asks me.

"Who knows with those two. It's always another fiasco when they're together." About that time the two come in and say they are heading out to the parking lot to leave soon and Ashley and I decide to follow.

We make small talk on the way to the parking lot and Madison decides to walk Carmen to her car while throwing the keys my way. Ashley and I head towards Madison's truck to let the other two have their alone time. I decide this would be a good time to find out what her sexual preference is.

"Those guys earlier that you were talking to, they were big tools, huh?" I start off pretty bluntly hoping that's not too harsh.

"Well, I don't know. They seemed pretty genuine and nice to me." My heart definitely sank after hearing those words.

"That's good, just from my perspective they didn't look that good." We have a moment of awkward silence, so I decide to try a new approach. "I noticed Kylie was really hitting it off with you. That girl loves a good flirt." I watch her expression slightly change, but not enough to say much about her thoughts.

"Yeah? Well, I hate to break it to her, but she won't find what she is looking for in me. Not really my forte."

"What's not your forte?" I ask hoping she doesn't say girls.

"Girls." Definitely a hard hit to my confidence. We have finally arrived at the truck and thank God because I can fumble with the keys while thinking of the next thing to say. I decide I'll take a leap of faith once again in a short amount of time.

"So, after last time at the ball fields I wasn't sure if I was going to ever see you again." I laugh lightly. "What a sad day, huh?" I try to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, I was kind of thinking the same thing. L.A. is a pretty big city with a lot of people."

"Yeah, so I was wondering if you wanna put your number in my phone so we can hang out again. Hopefully next time Madison and Carmen won't be fighting, but who knows with those two." My heart is beating a million miles an hour hoping that she will give me her number.

"I just got a new number and I can't remember what it is." Think fast, Spencer. What do you say next?

"…Oh…. Uh…" Smooth one.

"Just put your number in my phone and I'll text you instead. How's that?" Thank God one of us has a brain.

"Yeah, I'll do that." I say as I take her phone. "So, what should my name be in your phone?" This was my lame attempt at flirting.

"Set it as whatever you want it to be." This definitely got the wheels going in my head.

"How about… Fuckbuddy?" That wasn't the smoothest either.

"Uh, wow. How about something else."

"Why not Fuckbuddy?" That was another stupid question.

"Why should it be Fuckbuddy?" Now a cat has my tongue and I can't make words come out of my mouth. "I'll just put it in as Spencer for now." She says while taking her phone back. I really get tongue-tied around this girl and it's definitely not helping my confidence.

"Hey guys. Ready to go, Spencer?" Madison says, sneaking up on us.

"Yeah, I gotta go, too."

"Yeah, Mad. Am I gonna see you or talk to you soon, Ashley?" I am highly anticipating her reply.

"Well…"
