Chapter four.
School on Friday
-
"Glennnnn" I pout my lower lip out and he just shakes his head.
"I said no. I don't want you to go" He is being an ass, but I know it's because he cares.
We are standing in front of the school and Ashley and Kyla walk up to us. "Hey guys" Kyla waves and flashes Glen a smile. He doesn't notice because he is practically drooling over Ashley.
Ew.
Not her, but Glen drooling of her.
"Hey Kyla. Hey Ashley" I smile at them.
"Hi' Ashley says quietly. She has her arms crossed across her chest and she isn't looking at me directly.
"I'm going to go to class, I'll see you hooligans later" I walk away and then stop. I feel like someone is staring at me and I look behind me and my eyes lock with brown ones. I mouth 'come here'. She nods and says her goodbyes and walks to my side. "How are you this morning?"
"Good, how are you?" Her face softens and I smile.
"I'm good, a little nervous for tonight"
"Oh yeah? I'm sure it will be great"
I shrug. "Yeah, I guess" We arrive at our first class and take seats in the back.
I watch as Ashley pulls her note book out and then rests her head on her hand.
-
Lunch
-
"So, Ashley" My brother sits next to Ashley and I just want to gag. "Are you going to Aiden's party?" He winks at me and I roll my eyes.
Boys.
She glances from him to me and then to Aiden and then back to Glen. "More than likely, yes."
"I can give you a ride if you want, you know, go green and save some green" He says in a semi high pitched voice, its slightly comical.
I hear myself snicker and everyone looks at me. I immediately turn red. "Carry on" I twirl my hand at Glen and Ashley.
I see Ashley trying to hide her smirk.
Glen is an idiot. Ashley obviously isn't into him.
"Actually, me and Spencer and going to hang out at my house and then go to Aidens." She looks at me, telling me to go along with what she is saying.
I lick my lips. "Yupp"
Glen looks defeated. "Oh,okay" He nods and walks away.
Poor kid.
"God Ash, way to go easy on him" Kyla says brushing her hair our of her face.
"I could have been mean about it" Ashley takes a sip of her water, looking straight at me.
"Aiden, could you go, entertain yourself somewhere else? Please" Kyla says to Aiden.
"Sure" He smiles at me an squeezes my shoulder. I tense up.
Kyla sits scoots over next to me and she eyes me.
"Wh-what?" I stammer.
"Yeah, what, Kyla?" Ashley repeats after me.
She looks at both of us and points at us. "Are you really hanging out before Aiden's party?"
"Only if Spencer wants to"
We look up at each other and my heart beats faster.
Damn.
"I'd like that "
"Yeah, okay. Well, then, I will get ready with Aiden. You know, to make sure he smells nice." She smiles at me, stands up, kisses Ashley's head and walks away in the direction that Aiden went."
I look at my hands. " What was that?" I snort.
"I have no idea" I can tell she is lying.
I sigh and we sit there the rest of lunch in silent, sitting across from each other and barely sharing glances.
Well this isn't awkward.
-
After school.
-
I'm at my locker getting my stuff, minding my own business when someone knocks my books out of my hand and yells "Dyke"
I look at him disgusted and appalled he would say that. "Whatever, you're the one who sucks dick all night long" I spat out at him and gather my stuff angrily.
"What'd you say?" He walks towards me and I am becoming uneasy.
Me and my big mouth.
"You heard me" I gain my confidence back and step forward.
"Hey baby" I Hear from behind me. Ashley walks up to me and puts her arm around my shoulder.
Mr. Hot shot looks at us a smile forms on his lips. "Hey Ashley."
She smiles at him. "Were you bothering my new friend Spencer?"
"Nah. Catch ya later" He eyes her down and I am jealous.
Jealous that he can look at her that way and no one gives a shit.
"You good?" She takes her arm off of me.
"Yeah" I nod and finish putting my stuff in my bag.
"Ready?" She asks and gives me a cute smile.
"Question is, are you?"
She stares at me. I think that she thinks I'm being serious.
"I'm kidding" I nudge her shoulder. "C'mon Davies, lets get out of this hell hole"
We walk to Ashley's car and I am not surprised she has a Subaru, everyone here seems to have them.
"Nice car" I say as I get into it.
"Thanks. it's an Impreza." She smiles happily and starts the car.
We pull up to her house and its pretty nice. It is a log home, three levels.
"Nice house" I say as we walk through the door.
She puts her keys on the key rack. "Thanks" She sighs. "Okay, lets get something to eat. I am STARVING" She clutches her stomach.
"You're a dork, and I'm going to call Glen and make sure he didn't drive off a cliff" I stand there and watch as she walks away. I dial Glens number.
"Hello?" He says.
"Hi, its me"
"Oh, hey. What's up?"
"Will I see you at the party tonight?"
"I don't know Spence.."
"Glen" I say
"Maybe, but no promises"
"Cool." Ashley comes back into my view and she is smiling at me. "Hey, I got to go, but I'll see you later. Bye." I hang up and Ashley just keeps smiling at me. "What?"
"Nothing. C'mon, I'll show you around." She motions me to follow her. She turns around so she is walking backwards. "Okay, so this the kitchen"
I nod my head.
We walk across it and through a door. "And this is the dining room, but we hardly ever use it." She is all smiley. "This is the living room, and the hot tub is out there" She points outside to a little hut looking thing.
"Cool"
She grabs me hand and we walk fast up the stairs. "This is the floor my parents are one, along with the mini library"
I hold my right hand up. "Wait" I raise my eyes brows for effect. "You have a mini library?"
She laughs. "Yes. My mom is a nerd like that."
"That's cool"
We walk upstairs. "And up here is the game room, and my room." She has a foosball table and a big screen T.V.
"This is awesome"
"I like to think so" She grabs my hand again and leads me to her room. "And this, is my room" Its big, roomy. "You like?"
"Its very big" I say.
-
Four hours later we are getting ready for the party. We had to drive back my house to get some clothes because I wouldn't wear anything Ashley wanted me to. I'm stubborn like that.
"What about now?" I walk out of my bathroom and I'm pretty sure Ashley's jaw is on the floor.
Just kidding.
"You look like a sexy bitch" She walks around me. "Aiden's going to be all over you" She says confidentially.
"Yeah" I say quietly.
"Great, now we can go. Come one Goldie locks, I don't have all day" Such a teaser.
I lightly push her and we walk down stairs. I forgot my parents were home.
"Where are you girls off to?" My mom asks.
I roll my eyes. "We are going to a party"
"Who's party?" My dad walks up behind my mom.
"Aiden"
"The boy next door?"
"Yeah, that's him."
Ashley clears her throat. "Actually, its not going to at his house, but a friends of his."
I look at her confused.
My parents look at me expectantly. "Well?" My mom says.
"Yeah, what she said."
Ashley puts her hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll make sure she is safe. I won't leave her out of my sight, I promise"
"That's fine then. Do you have your cell phone?" My dad asks, giving me a warm smile.
"Yep"
"We should get going" Ashley says politely.
"Yeah. Bye mom, bye dad"
"Bye Spencer..and nice meeting you…?"
Ashley turns around. "Ashley"
"Nice meeting you Ashley" My mom says and I hurriedly force Ashley out the door.
-
We get to where the party is and I am hesitant to get out of the car. I have this feeling that tonight will change everything.
I'm so glad Ashley is here.
