Here's the next chapter. I know some of you may not like Spencer right now, but that's not lasting to long. Also I appreciate all the reviews that I have gotten. So here it is.
I decided to skip out on my last 2 periods of the day. I could help but worry about my best friend, even though we haven't been the best of friend lately due to my selfishness in wanting to figure out things about myself. No matter what Kyla will always be my best friend, yes she may have done something to upset me and may have be inconsiderate at times; that doesn't change the type of person she it.
I walked up to the mansion and fished for the key that I had in my bag. The key that they had given me because I was a constant fixture at their house. I unlocked the door and let myself in. I decided against calling her name out because she wouldn't answer. I ran up to her room and bust through the do. She was shocked when she saw that it was me.
"Spencer w -what are you doing here? You should be in-."
"No I should be here for my best friend. Kyla what happen?" I said as I dropped my bag to the floor and when and sat beside her on the bed. She looked down and began to fiddle with her hands.
"I caught Aiden cheating." She said as she began to sob.
"Madison right. That's who you caught him with." I wasn't use to seeing my friend like this.
"I should have listened to you when you said he wasn't any good." She said between sniffles. "I'm so stupid. I deserved what I got."
"OK Kyla come here." I said as I pulled her into a hug."your not stupid. We all make mistakes." I said as I held her and let her cry in my shoulder.
"How can you be here for me, when I've been such a crappy friend."
"Well I haven't been any better than you lately." I say as I stroked her hair.
"Spencer I promise to be a better friend." She say as she broke our embrace.
"So do I." I said. She began to wipe the tears off."What are you going to do about Aiden." I asked.
"Break it off with him. I'm going to dump him in front of the whole schoo. He's gonna be stuck on stupid because he thinks I don't know about his cheating. "
"How do you feel." I asked.
"I feel fine. It's his loss, I'll get over it. I loved him but I wasn't in love with him. I'm just hurt that he didn't have the decency to break up, I'm mad that he chose to sneak around with a girl that I considered to be my friend. That's why I'm upset, I trusted the both of them." Now I could see the rage in her. But Kyla wouldn't hurt a fly or anything for that matter, she would release it."I'm angry that I spent a whole day wasting my tears on his sorry ass."
"I have an idea. That I think will make you feel better." I said as I got up off her bed."Mini Golf!"We yelled in at the same time
Kyla quickly got dressed. She threw on a pair of jeans and a shit along with her white converse. This was far from the girly Kyla that usually wore heels and dresses. She pulled her hair up in a high pony tail and put on a light lip gloss. I always told her she looked better without much make up.
We took her car since I took a cab here. It wouldn't have been fair to leave glen with no car. It felt good to have my best friend back.
I texted spencer because she wasn't in our class that we had together. She didn't respond back, she must of went to kyla. I decided against going home and interrupting them, they needed this time to reconnect. I decided to stay back and work on some things before basketball try outs.
"Ash you ready to do some workouts?" Amy yelled from the entrance.
"Yea. What exactly are we doing? " I asked suspiciously.
"Oh you know, suicides, sprints, push ups, lunges and things like that."
"Your gonna kill me. I'll be to sore for the tryout tomorrow."
"I'm just messing with you Davies." She said as she gave me a pat on the back."but I was serious about the sprints and suicides."
Amy and I stretched our bodies really good and began our conditioning. First we did suicides, 10 to be exact, I found it hard to keep up with her. Then we moved on to the sprints, I was winded after the first one. As I did them Amy would encourage me to push harder and keep up with her. I barely managed but I completed every task. I refused to give up. Once we got the running out of the way, she started me on shooting drills. She had me run from elbow to elbow waiting to catch and shoot the ball. Fighting to catch my breath and the ball at the same time was hard. I also missed a lot of my shots.
"Ash you wanna take a water break." See I knew she would be that harsh.
"Yes I need it." I took a few sips of water because I didn't want to catch a cramp during the drills. I raised my hands above my head in an attempt to even my breathing. I breath deeply into my nose and out my mouth. Soon I was back to my normal breathing and my heart at a steady rate.
"Are you ready to start back up." Amy asked.
"Yea let's to this."
I went back to my position on the court and waited for Amy to pass me the ball. When I caught it I didn't think twice before I shot it. It flew easily out of my hands and into the hoop. I ran to the other side and repeated the same motions with the same results as last time.
" l Shooting with confidence Davies." Amy yelled out. She was right I did. I continue to do the drill until my arms got tired and heavy.
"I had to have taken at least 100 shots." I said.
"You did take 100 shots and you made 60 of them." I was surprised I made that much considering how badly out of shape I was.
"I could have done better." I said.
"Ash 60 percent is awesome. I can barely shoot 40 percent from the field."
"Let me see your shot. Maybe I can help you. Although you may not be as good as me." I picked up the ball and tossed it to he. Instantly I saw how she held the ball." I see the problem, the way you hold the ball it's a little awkward." I walked over and adjusted her hands. "There. Now try that out." She shot the ball effortlessly.
"Wow all this time it was the way that I was holding the ball."
"With some practice you'll get it down."
"Hey Ash what do you think about Spencer? " That was random.
"I think she's beautiful. She also has a great personality and she's smart." There's a lot that I can say about her."
"I know all of that I've known her since freshman year but that's it, and the two of you are always together so I assumed th-."
"That we were talking?" She thought spencer and I were dating.
"Well yea. The two of you are always together."
"Well that is because from the first day of school my sister pushed me on her. Then after it kind of stuck, we get along well and we have some things in common. But that's it. If your interested in her then go for it."
"Really, do you think she'll talk to me?"
"Of course she will. She always does when she sees you dufus. " I said as I gave Amy a playful shove.
"No you jerk. I mean like date me."
"Why don't you ask her to goto Greys this weekend. You can get to know each other and have some fun. It takes off all the pressure of having an actual date."
"Yea that sounds fun."
"And Aim, just be yourself around Spencer and everything will go well."
With that being said we went off into the locker room. I skipped the whole shower thing because I wanted to get home to see how Kyla was doing. Before I hopped into my car I checked my phone. It was a text from kyla, she said that she was at mini putt with Spencers. Good I'm glad spencer got her out of the house.
"So how do you think he will react when you break it off tomorrow?" I asked Kyla as we laid side by side on her bed. We just got in not too long ago. We had a mini girls day out doing all the things we enjoyed. After mini putt we went a got a mani pettie. We ate at our favorite restaurant, which was Ginos. They had the best lasagna, and lastly we went to the park and sat on the swings and just talked.
"He'll probably look dumb founded. I wonder what he's gonna day after."
"I wonder how Madison is going to look." I said after.
"She will probably fake like she's sorry. Which is a total lie."
"Tomorrow can come soon enough."
"Hey I got an idea." Kyla said while hopping up."Let's go in Ashleys room banging pots and pans. She's been sleep for a while now.
"Let's do it! " I said as I got up to head down stairs.
It took Kyla probably a minute to get what we needed. We slowly opened Ashleys door and crept into her room. She was sleeping soundly, I don't know how she slept with her body damn near hanging off the bed. Before we began banging the pots and pans I decided to take a selfie. Kyla got behind me posing with the 2 pans she was holding, I put the one I was holding up and held my phone at in angle were I can catch us plus a sleeping Ashley. Kyla made a funny face and I smiled into the camera, I snapped the picture and slid my phone into my pocket. I then proceed to pick my other pan up. In a low hushed voice Kyla counted to 3.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Ashley yelled while rolling off the bed and onto the floor still creaming. This cause Kyla and I to bust into laughter. Ashley looked confused.
"I am going to kill the both of you." She yelled while getting up. This only made us laugh harder."Oh you thinks it's funny? You won't think it's funny if I do this." Ashley then took one of her pillows and hit Kyla in the face. I quickly put the pans down and hopped on the bed and grabbed a pillow.
"Your going down carlin."
"Only if you can catch me."
"Oh trust me I'm gonna catch you." Before Ashley could attempt to catch me Kyla blindsided her with a teddy bear. A freaking teddy bear.
"Tell me you did not just throw mr. Cuddles at me."
"I think. No I did." Kyla said with a smirk. Poor Ashley. I almost felt bad for messing with her.
"Listen how about we call a truce. I'm really tired, I don't think I have the energy to fight the both of you off."
"Spence what do you think about that." Kyla said while not taking her eyes off of Ashley.
"I think it's fair. We did scare the shit out of her after all."
"Fine it's a truce then." Kyla said.
"Shake on it." Ashley said extending her hand and approaching Kyla. Just when their hands touched Ashley hit her with the pillow knocking her on the floor, this caused me to laugh. Kyla fell flat on her ass. Then out of nowhere I was hit in the head with a flying pillow.
"Now we are half way even. I don't plan on scaring the sit out of the both of you." Ashley said pleased with her self.
"Fine." Kyla said while getting up."Now can we really have a truce."
"Of course."
"Wait let's all shake on it at the same time. I don't want no funny business this time."
"Fine." Ashley said as she crossed her arms so both Kyla and I could shake them. This time Kyla and I both took her hand and shook at the same time.
"Now that we are done. Can you tell me what happened yesterday." Ashley asked.
"I caught Aiden cheating on me with Madison."
"I'm going to kick his ass." Ashley said angrily.
"No Ash you don't have to do that. I will handle him tomorrow."
"Are you ok." Ashley asked. She really cared about her sister.
"Thanks to my best friend I'll be fine."
"That's good. But if you want me to kick his ass that offer still stands."
"Ash." Kyla said giving her older sister a knowing look.
"Fine I won't kick his ass. But I may accidentally kick him in the balls."
"Your crazy." Kyla said with a laugh." I'm happy to have both you and spencer you know. I probably would have been a blubbering mess."
"Well how about a group hug." I said.
"Huh no I'm not really a hugger. Now if the both of you will excuse me, I would really like to get back to my beauty rest."
"Dude its like 9 o'clock." Kyla said.
"I had a rough work out." Ashley said as she got up and stretched. That's when I noticed that the only thing she had on where booty cut underwear and a cut off shirt. I quickly looked away when she caught me looking.
"It's ok. I know I look hot Spencer." She said while laughing.
"Oh please. You need to do some sit ups your looking a little flabby in the mid section. " I retorted.
"Seriously!" Ashley said quickly covering up.
"Maybe." I said as I walked out of the room. Kyla soon followed me.
"Your cruel Carlin!" Ashley called out.
I didn't respond. Moments later Ashley came into Kylas room. She had on a hoodie and running shorts with Nike socks and Adidas slippers.
"Hey ky. Mom caught a flat I'm gonna go get her. Do you guys wanna come.
"Nah I'll stay. Kyla said.
"I'll go. Do you mind dropping me off?" I asked
"Sure." She said. "I'll be in my car waiting."
"Will you be ok." I said as turned to face my best friend.
"I'll be fine. I'm pretty tired, crying takes a lot out of you." She said with a small chuckle."Thanks for today, I don't think I could ever ask for a best friend like you."
"I don't think no one else would be able to put up with you." I said smiling.
"Shut up. You love me."
"I guess so." I said as Ieft out."don't hesitate to call me if you can't sleep."
"I won't. She called out."
Last night I slept pretty soundly. When my alarm clock rung I didn't have the strength to get out of bed. For it to he so early in the morning it was pretty quiet. I went to check my phone and realize that it was dead, when I looked at my bed side clock it read 9:45. Holy crap it was that late, I must have really needed the rest if I couldn't get up. Glen didn't bother waking me either, I usually wake him in the morning after my shower. I looked out of my window and the cars were gon. I might as well stay home, hopefully my parents understand.
It was the 5th period, it was lunch period for some of king high. I scanned the area searching for the one person that I was avoiding. When I finally found him in the crowd of people he looked as if he was enjoying I'm self. Probably talking about the previous nights game or some dumb guy show. I approached the table with only him in mind, and by him I meant Aiden Dennison, my soon to be ex. When I approached the table the guys stopped talking.
"Hey babe. I missed you, is your phone broke or something?" He said as he got up and made his way towards me."I've been trying to call and text you for a day in a half." He said as he pulled me into him. I easily shrugged him off, I couldn't stand to be touched by him." Is everything ok?" He said with a hint of worry in his voice."
"No everything is not ok." I said in a even voice. " I don't want to be with you anymore Aiden"
"Wh-what. What are you saying." He said. He was shocked.
"Oh you can't hear? I SAID THAT I DO NOT WANT TO BE WITH A LYING, CHEATING DUMBASS THAT CANT TAKE A HINT." I said as I yelled at him. This caused him to pull me to the side.
"You are not going to embarrass me in front of all of these people." He said in a low hushed voice.
"You didn't think about none of these people when you were busy making out with Madison."
"Ky I'm sorry. It was a mistake. "
"Mistake my ass. They way the 2 of you were going at it looked like you've done it before."
"Can you let me explain."
"There is nothing to explain because I don't give a flying fuck! I hope your happy with Madison. "I said as I turned and began to walk off. It felt good to do that.
It was so quiet in the quad that you could probably hear a pin drop. I didn't care that everyone eyes were on me, it felt good to get that out.
"Way to stick it to him." I herd a familiar voice say.
"I couldn't of said it any better Glen."
"Let's get out of here. Ice cream Sunday on me, that was a big step for you to take today."
"Why can't most guys be like you." I say.
"Because they don't have a lesbian as their twin sister. "
"Speaking of spencer where is she." I haven't seen her all day.
"Our parents decided to let her sleep in. The think she needed a day to her self since she's been so busy with the volleyball team. Plus it's the beginning of the school year she not missing much."
"I guess I could visit her after school. Now about that sunday."
"Shall we my lady." Glen said as he offered me his arm.
I haven't see Spencer all day, I can honestly say I missed her. She makes me laugh and there's always something to talk about with her. That's how friends are tight, plus she's different. She doesn't try to impress me and she's always her self. I also feel good knowing that I can be myself around her. I like that everything with her comes so easy, and when I don't want to talk about something she doesn't push.
"Yo Davies you ready for tryouts? " Amy asked knocking me out of my thoughts.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I said.
"Hey uh I didn't see Spencer today."
"Yea me neither. I'll Probably give her a call later."
"Can you maybe put in a good word for me" She asks me shyly.
"Dude don't tell me that you don't have game?"
"It's not that. I'm shy. Don't get me wrong I can get girls but Spencers different. I like her."
"I'll see what I can do but I can't promise you anything. And tomorrow at Greys don't be afraid to talk to her. She doesn't bite and she's pretty cool."
"Fine." She said
"Good. Now if you don't mind I like to get to my stretching."
"I leave you to it Davies." She said as she went to go talk to some of the other girls she knew.
I took my time stretching every part of my body that I could think of. I stretched until I couldn't anymore. Just as I was getting up a semi tall woman with long brown hair came. She proceeded to put her whistle between her lips and blow. That caught everyone's attention.
"Good evening ladies, I'm coach Kay. There will be 2 days of try out. Today a few of you may not make it. I want all of you girls to go out and give it your all. Oh and one more thing, just because you were on the team last year does not mean you'll make it this year. You have to work hard and earn your spot on this team just like everyone else." She said " OK now that I've made that clear give me 8 laps around the gym. Guards in the front forwards in the middle and centers could trail behind." No one gave what coach K said a second thought. I found myself in the front of the pack with Amy and a few other girls. Surprisingly I was was able to hold my own up against the other guards. In about a quarter of an hour the laps were done.
"You ladies did ok. If your on my team those 8 laps have to be done in under 8 minutes." This lady was harsh."Now we will do some practice drills 3 on 2 and 2 on one. I wanna see what type of team skills and defense you guys have." Those of us who knew what to do made 3 lines, leaving the guards in the middle. I decided to step up first. 2 people Amy and a taller girl decided to to play defense. " Amy and Casey I should have known the two of you would want to play defense first." The coach said. She the blew the whistle and I with the two people with me made are way down. I passed the ball to the girl left of me and Casey defended the first pass. I cut to the basket knowing Amy would pick up the other girl. That left me open to cut , the girl saw me and passed it to me and I scored an easy lay up. As soon as I score I got on defense. Once down the court Amy faked a high pass and bounced it I quickly deflected it out causing cheers from the others.
"Nice job. Davies right." The coach said.
"Um yea coach."
"I'm looking forward to having you on my team." That caused me to smile.
"Thanks Coach." I felt good about myself.
After that the tryout flew by we had a quick scrimmage I ended up battling it out with Amy. If I wasn't out of shape we would have been evenly matched. In the end her team won. Coached had us line up and called us one by one. The ones she didn't call didn't make it. But it was ok because they were freshman so they had a spot on the J.v team.
"Good job out there today Davies a couple of the girls said." I was pleased with myself. I was of course the last one out of the gym.
"Hey Davies Can I speak to you." Coach K asked
"Sure I said. "
" I don't have to worry about you getting into any trouble like you did 2 years ago."
"No coach you don't." I hated being reminded of my past. But the past seems to always follow you.
"Good because you are very talented and I believe you could play at a higher level. You can even go pro."
"Thanks Coach for giving me this opportunity to redeem myself." I said.
"Everyone deserves a second chance." After she said that I left the gym and got my things out of the locker room. I was too tired to change so I just changed my shirt and slipped on my Adidas slippers. I grabbed my gym and book bag and made my way to the my car, before I started my car I decide to check my phone. I had a text from kyla telling me that she was with Spencer and Glen at their house. I had a few text messages from my new york friends and one from Morgan whom I haven't spoken to since I left. I answered all of them and Kyla quickly wrote back telling me that I was invited to come over.
Now I know your wondering who Morgan is, so I guess I'll tell you. Morgan was a girl that I had an on and off thing with. She understood me and we had this special bond. The only thing was that when we got together it kind of destroyed us. She became possessive and demanding, and that kind of made me draw back. She wanted more and I wasn't ready, I couldn't give her that. When we did break up we decided that we fit better as friends and that if we are truly meant to be that it will happen. Even though we had a friendship sex was involved, and no matter what we did or who we were dating we always ended up in bed. I know it's confusing but we understood what It was.
When she founded out that I was leaving it kind of hurt her. Before I left I told her that I would always love her, but she didn't take it well. My last week in new york she stayed away from me. I was hurt but I understood that it hurt her too. I did miss her and I tried calling and texting but she I never got an answer.
Soon I found myself pulling up in front of Spencers. I parked my car and hopped out, I made my way up to her door and rung the bell.
"Finally your here." The blue eyed blonde said as she pulled me in.
"How was tryouts. Did you do good?"
"It was good. I thing I did great."
"I hope your starving we ordered pizza because the rents are out." I followed behind her until we made It to her room. Glen was sitting I the computer chair. Kyla was occupying the bed, I decided to take a seat in this pillow chair thingy that she had. And it was comfortable.
"So why don't you like Taylor? " Kyla asked.
"Dude she's hot." Glen said.
"She was always a bitch to me in junior high. It only got worse when we got to king. Not only that she would always try and out do me, it's not like I try hard to be good at anything that I do. It just comes natural."
"Spence she's just jealous." Kyla said.
"She seemed nice to me. She even gave me her number the other day." When I said that they all looked at me.
"She probably want you because your friends with me." Spencer said.
"Oh yea. So you think that I'm not hot enough to get her on my own?" I asked
"Invite her to grays and see what happens. She'll probably try and out dance me or something." Spencer said with a laugh.
Kyla and I hung out with the Carlin twins until about 10 that night. Tomorrow was Friday and the beginning of the weekend. We would definitely have time with our friends this up coming weekend.
Do you think Amy is going to have enough courage to talk to Spencer? Will Taylor and Ashley hit it off. Find out in the next Chapter of WWCB
