Ch 7

'Just my imagination'

Spencer's pov

I never knew how cold she could look at that moment, Ashley looked down at us as if we were doing something wrong, let me start from the beginning for you…

Earlier

Rocky was such a bad girl, I loved how she slouched in her chair and just stared off into space; she was the only person ever in the school that I knew who could get away with wearing shades 'inside the class'.

How cool is that, let me tell you, everyone in here thought she was. But what made her cooler is that she didn't care nor did she try to be cool.

Shit like that doesn't happen to just anyone, only the truly gifted.

My little comment had finally knocked out a piece of that wall she had built around herself. I never knew she could blush until now.

The class went by smoothly and I was off to my next class. "Who do you have?" I asked hopefully, I wanted her to be in A+ with me because I knew Joshua was in there.

"Um…Peters-"

"Oh thank God!" She looked at me with a funny look.

"I didn't even finish."

"It's Peterson, he teaches A+."

"Oh, I'm not that good in math are you?" I scrunched my brows just for a second and lost all feeling in my side as she bit her bottom lip.

'Sweet Jesus.'

"I'm actually fluent in that course."

Ashley's Pov

As soon as I turned into my class and seen that massive body of his I exploded. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off his desk and into the hall.

"You need to learn how to stop bulling my friends." I stared at him long and hard, so long I thought he forgot how to breathe.

He was beyond shock, he had never seen me like this; it was all fun in games until someone pisses Ashley off.

"I-I...I"

"Oh I know what you where trying to do…Aiden it's over it's been over, I don't know why I tried…time to move on okay!"

I gave him one last shoved and was surprised with the hiss that came from him; I had actually caused him physical pain…good.


"I think he shit himself," me and Spence shared a quiet laugh as we seen Josh grab all his things and leave the class, I guess he was going try and change his schedule. I hope he doesn't get a chance to because I'm going to torture the hell out of him.

I hated guys like him, I heard that he was rich and his dad was planning on running for government. He detailed how Schwarzenegger wasn't intelligent enough for this economy.

Good point, but he is the terminator.

So this is the guy I was dealing with, I could get into some serious trouble if he decided to use his brain for once.

He had connections.

But I wasn't too worried about him, "How's the cafeteria food?"

"Mmm, good on wednesdays and through the week, but not today." She warned me of the mystery meat they serve.

"Um ok…"

"Hey I live not that far from the school, come to my house and we can raid my fridge," Why'd that sound dirty too me, oh yeah, cause she raised her brows twice.

"Sounds great but…," I suddenly remembered my plans with Ash. Her eyes seem to get a bit dull as she looked down at her hands.

"It's Ashley…"

"Yup, why don't you join us," I know I wasn't being too obvious but I had to try, I wanted one of them to tell me themselves.

She gasped silently to herself. "Nah," Her eyes met mine, the seconds felt like hours while I tried to breath.

"Well…what are you doing after school," Creating another le-way for this kind of opportunity is always noble.

I watched the smile creep slowly upon her face, those eyes lit up slowly, "Not enough, come over for dinner, my dad is a guru when it comes to cooking."

My mouth waters at the way she drawls out cooking. "I'd love too,"

"Cool it's a date," Wait what.

Ashley's pov.

Absolute Vodka Pears, I fell in love with this beverage plus a Sonic double cheese burger; this was so good.

Leaning on the side of my car I watch the quad as the teens scatter around, I could nearly wait for b-day. I wasn't surprised when Rocky told me about her gifts; she never wanted anything but to meet me.

Incredible…someone actually didn't care about their birthday, all her birthdays where just of her at her friends chilling, no gifts, no nada.

Well wait until she sees the lengths that I went to make this the best party ever, I was planning on just hanging with Aiden…but now my eyes are open. I'm about to be one rich eighteen year old, with a twin…I don't know how the press is going to take this but it's going to be huge.

Let's see this is LA so…Greys is out of the question, it's got to be big…yes the 80's club, I've always wanted to dress up and go there, so I guess I need to be planning now. Maybe I should see if Cory wants to go, duh.

"Ash!" Ah there she is; Corey slides next to me in giggles. "Oooh Vodka,"

I hand her the bottle and watch her gulp some down, she could drink I knew she had a high tolerance for alcohol.

"What's the word of the day," I heard her suck in air as she handed me back my vodka.

"Blow," Ah "I swear to god my teachers are all on drugs…Mr. Sweep was caught snorting dope in his classroom.

I heard about that guy, nothing but bad news. He despised different races and especially homosexuals, "And you like that school because…"

"I just got tired of those asses here at King…but you will remain my best friend." I felt her soft lips on my cheek just for a second and imagined Spencer.

I looked out the corner of my eye and seen Rocky slowly make her way up to us, something was on her mind as she came closer, her eyes didn't look at Cory.

"Hey Rocky this is Cory, you guys didn't meet informally yesterday," Rocky actually looks over to my friend and smiles a little; I kind of see a bit of redness on her cheeks.

Cory rolled her eyes while sticking out her hand, "Cory Maze." She stands still, hand drooping as Rocky looks at it. It's getting a bit awkward now.

"Okay drinking time guys."


The day went by quickly after I got my fix of vodka. I needed it; I was more carefree now I even actually smiled at the cheerleaders as they passed me by.

One actually smiled back…I'll get her number later. The last class I had was Theater, it sounded boring but when I entered the auditorium my mouth dropped open, Spencer was once again in my view.

She was behind the sound board grooving to some old rock music, I could fall in love with this girl…ah crap.

I need to control myself around this girl. I snuck up behind her and poked her in her side; she yelped and nearly crashed into me.

"Rocky!"

My arms circled around her waist to steady us both from tipping over; I could smell the gum on her breath.

I moved back a bit to give us some breathing room…that was intense. "Hey guess you're stuck with me again."

"You know you're not a burden, hey my dad's cooking lasagna with garlic bread and the works, so prepared to be full."

"Oh I intend on it," I look up to the stage and notice the director of the small play that was being rehearsed was about to pull her hair out.

"There doing a scene from Romeo and Juliet. " I could gag right now.

"It's so over done…if it was up to me id remake it all…have Paris actually get her." I heard he laugh softly as her eyes looked on with mine.

"You actually like Paris. Cory and you think the same," Most people may think that was a compliment, to me it was like saying , 'You two should fuck' and I wasn't okay with that. I could sense her discomfort…

"What's the story with her and sis," I had to put it out there, I really needed to know.

"She claims to be her best friend since junior high, but now goes to different schools…it's like she's hiding something."

The actor who's planning Romeo was failing miserably at kissing Juliet. I could see she was getting agitated…it was a cheerleader, I recognized her from the cheer squad.

"Be right back," I came down to the stage and asked the director slash teacher, "You know…even though I dislike Romeo, I could show your Romeo how to really kiss a girl," He looked at me and actually laughed.

"And you must be…Rocky, yes you may Rocky I've heard a lot about you."

"All good I hope,"

"Joshua beats up on my actors because some of them have feminine ways." His tone was serious, "But I never could prove it."

I walked up to the stage and grabbed the jocks script while rolling my eyes, the cheer girl was looking me up and down while sitting still.

"Now watch, cause this is very simple," I managed to square up my face directly with hers, gently taking those manicured hands in mine, "What are the words you crave to hear,"

It didn't take her long; she even smiled, "The words of a guy pouring his heart out to me,"

I was surprised she didn't push me away and walk off stage, but there's a first time for everything.

"You are the girl I'd hope to marry someday, you might not know it yet but you stay in my dreams; you touch something deep inside of me…like a burning wheel I keep turning and igniting, but you don't see it. You can try to figure out my mind but you want, because it's all over my face. My thoughts, my love, and my soul I give to you in return for a kiss,"

I wasn't expecting for the auditorium to be completely silent, nor was I expecting cheer girl the crash her lips onto mine, but I made it work…I kissed her back softly and heard her moan.

"Now that is how you kiss! Tom take some notes." Cheer girl really needs to let up on the kissing; I'm running out of air here. I reluctantly pull apart and breathe in deeply.

I look around and the whole cast is giving me the thumbs up even Spencer who is trying hard not to laugh.

"That was brave of you…teaching Tom how to kiss, he really can't kiss at all," I look up back to the stage and see him slowly progressing at least cheer girl was smiling again.

"Are you talking from experience?"

"Yeah…I kissed him one time out of happiness and it was like a battle of the tongue," she shivered at the memory.

"So you dated him?"

"Nope…just went out went him and told him I was actually into girls, he just shrugged and told me he kind of knew it. So I honored him by just kissing im to prove my point,"

"How hot was that?" I joked

She punched me lightly on my arm, "Your something you know," That comment made me think of Ash, they must have been great together I would love to see them back as well.

"I'm just me Spencer…" I feel her hands again, and that song comes back. I could see it in her eyes as she scoots closer to me. We were back at the sound board and things where definitely moving fast for me…but I didn't want to stop it.

Something tells me that she was just as curious as I was, I made myself do it; this kiss didn't last long as I thought it would it was more of a peck, something I could deal with as well.

It was nice and sweet and made her blush, "Sorry your just…I don't know," Oh I knew what she meant, but I wasn't going to go there just yet. I noticed a figure behind her and instantly felt like I just got caught with my hand in the cookie jar, because the jar wasn't even mine.

Spencer brow scrunched up and then she began to turn around to see who had my attention, "Ashley."

Spencer's Pov

And now we're back to the beginning, Ashley looking betrayed, Rocky looking like a bad puppy, and me looking like a harlot.

I stood up quickly and dared her to say anything hurtful. "Ash don't."

"So you're hitting on my sister now… nice Spence."

"We are not together Ashley…you made that decision remember?" It was said quietly because I didn't want it to get out in the open, I reached behind me and took hold of her hand, you could smell the reason for her hostility, she was fucking drunk.

Now with Ashley, her getting fucking drunk can result in some bloodshed, and I knew it firsthand. After my little date with Tom, and the outrageous kiss, Ashley showed up out of know here clearly drunk with blood on her hands, she took one look at me and then at Tom and punched him hard.

I was shocked when she turned around and kissed me, and then she ran off.

What an unforgettable night, it was the most passionate thing I've ever witnessed…but enough about her she fucked up, and now I think she was about to kill her on twin.

"Fine…" That was new, she didn't even bother fighting with me this time, I usually have to walk her home in silence.

"Ashley I'm sorry," Rocky spoke up behind me, Ashley nodded her head, "You make a great couple," without saying another word she left with watery eyes.

I just crushed my own heart right along with hers.
