I usually hate driving, I have to be responsible for myself and everyone else on the road too, but today isn't so bad. Madison is in the passenger seat and Chelsea's in the back, I'm driving us to school today.

"There's coffee all over my shirt." Madison complained

"Don't spill that shit in my car Madison." I take my eyes off the road for a quick second to look at her. "It looks like you got more coffee on your shit than in your mouth." I laugh.

"It's not my fault your driving sucks."

"Oh please, you can't even walk and drink at the same time."

It's true she always has to stop walking whenever she takes a sip.

"And your always tripping over stuff, Madison I don't know how you're a cheerleader. Your hand eye coordination is horrible." Chelsea teased

"You mean like yesterday when she fell over the couch?"

"Fuck you both! The couch moved." Madison yells.

"Whatever you say Madison, The next time you fall like that I'm putting it on YouTube."

Ha, Chels is right Madison's fall could go viral on YouTube it was that funny. I look over again to see Madison unbuttoning her shit. She undid a few of the bottom buttons and tied her shirt into a crop top.

"You look like a naughty school girl."

"I think we've talked about me enough. You're turn Spencer."

Shit, I'm starting to regret making fun of her. I sighed and prepared myself to take whatever Madison was about to dish out.

"How are things with you and Kyla?"

"Things are good, I like her. I've been thinking about asking her to hang out soon"

"Like on a date?" Chelsea clarified.

"Yes a date"

"That's cool Spence, but what about Ashley?" Madison asks.

"What about her? We're just friends I don't see why she would care"

"Young grasshopper you have a lot to learn"

Madison knows that once someone plants a seed, I'll overthink a situation until I stress myself out. Why couldn't she just make fun of my shoes or something?

"What Madison's trying to say is that you should make sure you don't have any feelings there before pursuing something with Kyla" Chelsea translated. Wow she speaks Madison better than I do.

"Ashley and I are just working on our friendship, there's nothing else between us."

Madison and Chelsea laughed like they have some inside joke.

"What did I miss?"

"If you and Ashley are just friends why haven't you told her about Kyla, I mean doesn't it makes sense for her to know you're interested in someone? That is the type of stuff you tell a friend." Chelsea inquired.

"I haven't told her because it hasn't come up."

"I don't know Spence, it sounds like your hiding it to me."

I pulled into the student lot and parked. On the left side of me was a candy red mustang, the car was nice but it didn't compare to the girl that stepped out.

"I'll catch up with you guys."

"Ok playa." Madison smirked.

Once we were all out of the car I locked it up and walked over to the mustang.

"Hey beautiful."

"Talking to me, or the car?"

"The car is nice but I'm talking to you."

Kyla draped her arm around my waist and we leaned on the side of her car.

"So we have a three day weekend coming up."

"That's right we do."

"Yeah and I was wondering if you want to do something outside of school."

"Like a date?"

"Yeah."

"Well in that case… Yes I'll go on a date with you."

"I thought you were going to say no for a second there."

"Say no to a date with you? I'd have to be blind or crazy, maybe even both."

I laughed, Kyla made being around her so easy. We sat there talking and joking around until the first bell rang and we had to go to our classes.

"Why didn't your sister drive you today?"

"She was only driving me because my car was in New York."

"You know I still haven't met her yet?"

"Consider yourself lucky." Kyla kisses me on the cheek and goes inside her class.

She knows the school well enough to find her own classes now so I don't have to walk her but I still do occasionally. Madison may have had a point when she said I was hiding Kyla from Ashley, I haven't exactly made any attempt to introduce the two.

I made it to my class with time to spare, Mr. White was still getting settled in. I took a glance around the room and found Ashley in her normal spot.

"Hey I was looking for you this morning."

"Yeah I was in the lot with … Uh." I was in the lot with Kyla, who I just can't seem to work up the courage to tell you about.

Great now she's looking at me weird.

"You have something on your cheek." I reached my hand to my face but she beat me to it "It's lip gloss." she wipes it off.

"So why were you looking for me?" I ask quickly, trying to change subject.

"I'm performing at Quest this weekend, I want you to come."

"You're performing at Quest? How did you swing that?"

"It's my dads club." All the nights Madison and I spent at Quest and she never mentioned that Ashley's dad owns the joint. "You'll be there right?"

"Of course. Did you invite anyone else?"

"I invited a few, you should bring Madison and Chelsea with you. Its an open bar." Ashley can be really sweet when she wants to be, and we've spent this week reconnecting. It means a lot that she wants me to be at her performance.

"We'll be there!" Madison shouts from the table behind us. Ashley and I laugh at her nosiness.

"I have a confession to make." I start. Now is as good of a time as any to tell her about Kyla.

"Ok, spill."

"I've kind of been talking to this girl. I like her and we're going on a date this weekend." That wasn't as hard to say as I thought.

"That's … Interesting. Why didn't you tell me before?" Interesting? What's interesting is Ashley's body language, it's like she's completely turned off to the subject.

"I didn't think it was important before but I asked her on a date and-" I didn't get to finish my thought because Ashley cut me off.

"A date? I thought you said you two were talking. Are you talking or dating?" Huh, Am i the only one that's confused? She look's mad but I can't tell if she's serious or not. Why would she be upset?

"I'm just getting to know her." I say, and Ashley lets out a loud 'Yeah sure' kind of sigh. I guess she really is mad.

"Whatever, I'm happy you found someone who feels the same way this time." Once her brain catches up with her mouth she tries to backtrack, "I didn't mean that. I'm Sorry."

Ashley's still trying to apologize for her comment but I've drowned her out. When class is dismissed I don't bother putting anything in my bag I just hold my books in my arms and move on to my next class, Art.

….

I'm sitting at my easel trying to decide what to paint, but I keep losing my train of thought. It was childish of me to ignore Ashley's apology I could have at least told her it was ok, because it is ok, I know she didn't mean it the way it sounded. What's bothering me is her reaction to me going on a date. Ashley reacted like an overprotective parent, completely cold to the idea. Is she jealous? No, if she was jealous that would mean she likes me. I shouldn't be dwelling on this. I should be happy. I have a date this weekend.

A big thanks to all of you who read and review, it means a lot. I hope you all continue to enjoy the story. Maybe Ashley's starting to realize she made a mistake letting Spencer go, What do you think ? As usual feedback is always welcome. Chapter 5 should be up soon (In 3-4 days), it will be from Ashley's POV.
