Chapter 3: Who are You?

Ashley wakes up to the sun blaring in her eyes. 'Fuckin' hate my life.' She thinks rolling over and pulling the covers over her head.

"Ashley!" Ashley groans loudly. 'Ah hell, what does she want?' Ashley ignores her sister, pretending she didn't hear her. Kyla bursts through the door.

"Ashley! Get up! I need a ride to school. And I'm makin' you go to school, so come on." Kyla says, going to Ashley's closet. Ashley looks out from under the covers just in time to see Kyla walking into her closet.

"Uh, Kyla? What you doin'? She asks looking at the shorter girl in confusion.

"What does it look like I'm doin'? I'm getting ready for school." Kyla says with a 'duh' expression on her face.

"Uh, why in my closet? I'm pretty sure you have your own closet. With your own clothes. Ringin' any bells for ya?"

"So?"

"Um… Go." Ashley says with a glare. Kyla just rolls her eyes.

"Whatever. You're still drivin' me to school." She says walking out the room.

"Love you too!" Ashley yells to Kyla's retreating back. 'She is such a trip.' Getting up from the bed, Ashley walks over to her closet in search of clothes. 'Ok, what to wear?' After searching for ten minutes, she decides on a rock band t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and blue/white Converse. Her hair is left down over her shoulders her red bangs once again skillfully placed over part of her right eye. She makes her way down the stairs seeing Kyla waiting at the door, tapping her foot on the floor impatiently.

"Hostile enemy spotted. Approach with caution, over." Ashley says like she's talking into a radio, loud enough for Kyla to hear.

"Ha. ha. You think you're so funny. Come on! We're gonna be late." Kyla says, a little whine in her voice.

"Would you like some cheese with that whine." Ashley says, laughter in her voice.

"Ash! Come on!" Kyla grabs Ashley's arm dragging her to the car.

"Relax! Jeez, I need my keys." Ashley protests, trying to get her arm from her impatient sister. Kyla doesn't let up, holding up said keys.

"Got'em. Now lets go." Ashley just rolls her eyes.

"Calm down, crazy. We're going" Ashley teases.

"CRAZY! Well, excuse me…" Ashley just turns her out as she puts the key into the ignition and starts the car. She turns the radio on and Caught Myself by Paramore blasts from the speakers. Putting the car into drive, Ashley peels out of the driveway towards the school. 'This is gonna be an interesting day' Little did she know how interesting a day it would be.

At King High

"And the trig function for this problem is…" Ashley tunes the teacher out as she pulls her Ipod out of her pocket. Turning it to Our Truth by Lacuna Coil, Ashley puts her head down on the desk.

Clock is ticking

while I'm killing time

Spinning all around

Nothing else that you can do To turn it back

Wicked partnership In this crime

Ripping off the best

Condescending smile

Chorus:

Trying to forget

We're falling right through

Lying to forget

We're raising our truth

Wasting my time

Telling more lies

Go on and tease me

Ashley's head snaps up as she hears the faint sound of a chair being pulled out next to her. Looking over to the desk next to her, her eyes widen in surprise. A beautiful blonde girl she has never seen before is now sitting in the desk next to her. 'Beautiful? I mean yeah she is but…' Ashley shakes her head clear of her thoughts and realizes she's been staring. To make it even more awkward the blonde had turned to look at her.

"Hi." the blonde whispers. "Do you have a pencil I can borrow? I'm kinda new here and have nothing on me." The blonde gives Ashley a beaming smile.

"No." Ashley says, putting her head back down.

"Oh." The blonde looks down a little before talking again. "I'm Spencer. Spencer Carlin. What's your name." She says sticking her hand out for Ashley to shake.

'God, this girl really doesn't know how to take a hint. Can't she see I don't wanna talk to anyone.' Ashley decides to appease the girl. 'Better than being bored in this stupid class anyway.'

"Ashley, it's nice to meet you." Ashley says, shaking the girl's hand. She feels a jolt go through her and she quickly pulls her hand back. 'What the hell was that?' She looks to Spencer to see if she noticed. It didn't look like she did. Her head was slightly tilted, looking intently at Ashley. Looking up, Ashley is caught in Spencer's eyes. 'Wow, Bluest eyes I've ever seen. She is cute lookin' like that… NO! Stop with the thoughts' Ashley shakes her head again clearing her thoughts.

"Hey, are you ok?" Spencer asks, looking at the brunette in concern.

"Yeah." Ashley answers abruptly. "Fine, So where you from? Thought I heard you say you aren't from around here" She quickly changes the subject. Spencer just shrugs it off. It's not like she knows the girl well enough to question her weird behavior. She's just meeting her for goodness sake.

"Yea, I'm from Ohio. My brothers and I just started school here today." Spencer says with a smile. Ashley smiles back a little.

"That's cool. How you likin' King High so far? Sucks doesn't it?" Ashley says with a grin on her face. 'Maybe this girl isn't so bad' Spencer laughs.

"It's okay. Still don't know my way around. But… Maybe somebody could help me with that?" Spencer says glancing at Ashley a little. Ashley's eyebrow raises a little as she looks at the blonde teen. 'Is she flirting with me? Well, two can play at that game.'

"I'm sure I can find somebody to help." Ashley leans a little closer to Spencer. "Or were you hopin' it would be me?" She whispers into the girl's ear. Ashley leans back waiting for Spencer's reaction. Spencer turns to look at her one eyebrow raised.

"Cocky aren't we?" She asks with a giggle and a light blush. Ashley just sits back and shakes her head with a small smile on her face. 'Nope, not bad at all.'

"Sure, I'll show you around King Hell. What's your next class?" Spencer pulls out her schedule and takes a look.

"Um… Science with Mr. Donovan."

"Cool, me too." The bell rings, signaling the end of first period. Both girls get up and walk out of class together. As they walk towards the science wing of the building, Ashley stops at the sound of her name.

"Ashley, wait up!" Ashley turns to see Kyla, Aiden, and Jacy walking towards them.

"Hey guys." She greets them, accepting the one armed hug from Jacy.

"Ashley! Buddy! Best friend of mine. Who's your friend?" Aiden says, looking at Spencer with a goofy smile on his face. Kyla elbows him in the stomach. Aiden gives her a wounded look, rubbing his stomach. "What!? I was just askin'. No need to get violent." Aiden says with a pout. Ashley laughs.

"You are such a girl Aiden. This is Spencer. Spencer, this is Aiden, our dorky best friend who plays the bass in our band. Kyla, my sister, and Jacy who is like my big sister. She plays the drums in our band and is like the only other friend I have outta this hell hole." Ashley says, looking at Spencer. Spencer smiles at the group.

"Nice to meet you guys." They all start walking again.

"So you all have Science too?" Spencer asks, curious.

"Yea, It's pretty cool having classes with these crazy people." Kyla says with a smile on her face.

"Crazy! I'll show you crazy!" Jacy exclaims throwing her arm around Kyla's shoulders, pulling her into a bear hug.

"God, okay. Let go! Air becoming an issue here." Kyla whines, struggling to escape the lanky girl's hold. Ashley just watches with an amused grin on face. They all arrive outside the door to their class. Taking a seat in the back, Ashley watches as the teacher introduces Spencer to the class. Spencer gets sent to the empty seat next to Ashley. 'Well, what's the coincidence of that?' Spencer takes a seat, and Ashley turns to her.

"So, since your new to Lala Land, how bout I take you around, show you the "hot spots". 'What are you doin'!? You just met this girl…' Ashley just tunes out her inner thoughts waiting for Spencer's answer.

"Sure. I would like that." Spencer says smiling shyly. Ashley smiles back, relaxing in the blondes presence. 'Yup, can't deny it. She is definitely cute.'

By the time Ashley takes Spencer to her favorite spot, it's dark outside. They get out of the car and walk by the shore.

"How'd you like Lala Land?" Ashley asks glancing at Spencer.

"It was great. It's such a big city. Definitely different than my hometown in Ohio."

"What was it like in Ohio?"

"Um… it was okay. You know, Small town so everybody knows everybody. School, friends. Family nights. Not nearly as exciting as living her I'm sure."

"Yeah, exciting." Ashley mumbles, looking down. "So, listen. The band and I are playing at a club called Gray friday night. Would you like to come?" Ashley asks, looking back up at Spencer. Spencer smiles brightly, eyes lighting in excitement.

"Of course. That would be awesome." The conversation is interrupted by Spencer's phone ringing. Spencer gives Ashley an apologetic smile. "Could you give me a minute?"

"Yeah, Sure. Go ahead." Spencer answers her phone. "Hello?"

"Spencer! Where are you? Dinner time is in five minutes and you're still not home. Are you lost? Do I need to come pick you up? Do I…"

"Mom! I'm okay. I just didn't realize it was that late. My new friend was just showing me around the city. I'll be home soon okay?" Spencer says, rolling her eyes. 'She is such a worrywart but I love her for it.'

"Okay. I was just worried when you didn't come home. Especially since you didn't call." Paula says on the other line.

"It's okay mom. I'll see you soon okay? Bye."

"Bye Spencer." Spencer hangs up her phone.

"I'm sorry Ashley. I gotta get home. My mom is freakin' out wondering if I'm lost." Ashley chuckles at that.

"It's okay. You just gotta tell me how to get to your house so I can drop you off."

Spencer nods as the girls head back to Ashley's Porsche and head to Spencer's home. Ashley pulls up in front of the Spencer's house, putting the car in park before turning to her new friend.

"Well," Spencer starts, "I had a really great time. Thanks."

Ashley smiles and shrugs a little. "No problem. So, I'll see you tomorrow."

"OK." Spencer smiles brightly at Ashley. Getting out of the car Spencer walks to her door. Hand on the door she turns around.

"Bye, Ash." Spencer yells, waving.

"See ya Spence." Ashley yells, giving a small wave back. Spencer turns back around and walks into the house.

Spencer's P.O.V

Well, today turned out amazing. And I even met some new friends. Specially Ashley. She seems really cool. She's nice, funny, a little weird, but that's okay. I can't help but feel there's a lot more to Ashley than meets the eye. Huh. I wonder how well her band plays. I didn't even ask what she plays. Oh well, I can't wait til I see her play. A little anxious there Spencer. What, I know you didn't miss how hot she is. Long brown hair with the red bangs always covering most of her eye. And the soulful brown eyes. I swear I was falling in them when she looked at me the first time. But, you just met her! Arg!

Spencer shakes her head. 'I really gotta stop arguing with myself.'

"Spencer, Honey! Is that you?"

"Yea dad! It's me." Spencer walks into the kitchen and sees her dad at the stove.

"Hey Spence. How was your first day at school?" Arthur takes a quick glance at Spencer.

"It was great. I even made new friends. Ashley, Aiden, Kyla, and Jacy. They seem like a cool group to hang with. And Ashley showed me around the school and L.A. That's why I was late getting home." Arthur notices how Spencer's face lit up when she was talking about Ashley but doesn't comment on it.

"Oh! That reminds me. Ashley invited me to see her band play. Can I go? Please!?" Spencer asks, puppy dog eyes out and ready. Arthur smiles and chuckles at his daughter.

"Of Course, you can go. I'm just happy you made friends. When we were moving here you were all sad worrying about it."

"I was not all sad. I was… mildly upset." Spencer says trying to keep a straight face. They both crack up laughing.

"Dinner will be ready in a minute."

"Ok dad." Spencer gives her dad a kiss on the check and goes up to her room. 'Can't wait til tomorrow.' With a smile Spencer grabs up her book from her nightstand and starts reading, thoughts of what tomorrows events could bring swirling in her mind.
