Italics are the past.
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING
"I'm really sorry. I don't know why, but I just don't feel the connection anymore. You're beautiful and I love you, but I feel like I'm cheating on you because of my feelings for her," I said looking down at my hands. My hand wrapped around the warm coffee cup and I looked up to a watery-eyed blonde.
"I, I understand Ash," she said placing her hand on mine. She gave me a small smile and bit her lip. "I read your interview with the magazine yesterday before I came down. On my flight over, I was thinking about what you said, and it made me think about my first love."
She gave my hand a tight squeeze, "I called Katy back," she confessed. I looked at her slightly confused. "Katy was my first love," she laughed softly. "She lives in New York and found out I was going to be there for a fashion show. She left a message and asked if I wanted to catch up, but I didn't call her back," she sighed. "I called her once I landed this morning and I'm going to meet with her when I go back to New York. I'm so sorry Ash."
"I'm happy for you Stephanie," I said honestly. "I'm really sorry things aren't going to work out between us."
"Me too," she said standing from her seat. I stood up too, and we walked towards each other. "I'll always love you Ash," she said bringing me into a hug.
"You know how to reach me if you need anything. And I mean anything," I said pulling away and looking into her grey eyes.
"Well, I have to go now Ash. I hope everything goes well with you and Spencer," she said smiling and walking out the door.
I watched as the blonde model walked out the door in her famous strut, and I sat back down at the table. Within seconds, Kyla sat where Stephanie was sitting. "So that turned out well. I told you, you didn't need me here just in case hell broke loose," she said laughing. A tear rolled down my cheek, and it wasn't because I was heartbroken. "Ash, are you okay?"
"Yeah," I said wiping away the tear. "Turns out Stephanie's first love called her and wanted to reconnect. After Steph read the interview, old feelings for her first love came rushing back."
"Like how feelings for Spencer came rushing back to you," Kyla finished what I was about to say. I nodded my head. "At least you two won't be lying to each other anymore. I'm really sorry Ash."
"Nah, don't apologize Kyla. Let's just think about the bright side," I said placing both hands on the table and making a cheeky smile.
"Atta girl. Let's head back to the bus," she said lightly hitting my upper arm. "You're going to need to think of what you're gonna say to Spencer after school today."

"Spencer! Funny running into you here, how are you?"
"I swear Ash, if you say that to her I'm gonna run up and kick your little, celebrity ass," Kyla said in a dead serious voice.
"What am I supposed to say then?" I said with my arms open.
"Be yourself," she said throwing a stress ball up and down. "Make it natural," she walked towards me with weird arm gestures. "Be relaxed."
"I honestly can't right now," I said. "I can't even keep my leg still!" I pointed to my leg that was bouncing up and down uncontrollably fast. Kyla came over, and sat on my bouncing leg and looked at me.
"Now, pretend I'm Spencer," she tilted her head and forced a sarcastic smile. She looks like one of the creepy, plastic dolls that ventriloquist use.
"You're kinda heavy. You should really lay off the pizza," I said sarcastically. Kyla got off my lap with a pout and threw the stress ball right at me, and it hit my forehead.
"Bitch," she said before walking away.
"Awww baby please! I'm sorry!" I got down on my knees with my hands together. I gave her my best puppy pout. Kyla could never resist my puppy pout.
"Well, since you're begging and you're gonna make a fool out of yourself with out me, I forgive you. Now, where were we?" she said hitting her palm against my forehead.
"You're my bitch," I said sitting next to her.
"No, you're mine," she corrected. Oddly, I agree to that.

Kyla suggested I rent a car so I'm not always going in a bus, so she rented a red KIA Soul for me. And yes, that's the car with the hamsters driving it in the commercial. It's very boxy, but quite interesting looking.
"Okay Ashley, just breathe," I said to myself with my hands clenching the steering wheel. I looked at the clock and it read 2:35. High schoolers were rushing out of the building, but I couldn't see Spencer anywhere. I looked around the parking lot, and a sign read 'Teacher Parking Only." "Well, I'm in the right place," I mumbled.
I sat in the car for ten more minutes, waiting for Spencer to come out. My chair was reclined back, far enough to where I could still see out the window. My hand was fidgeting on my leg, and I suddenly became very nervous. "Shit," I said to myself.
I continued staring out the window until I saw her come out of the building. She was engaged in a conversation with an older looking teacher, but they parted ways when they got down the stairs. I immediately reclined my chair back up, fixed my hair and make up in the mirror, and straightened out my clothes.
When Spencer was coming near to her car, I got out of the car, and walked towards her. "Hey," I forced out. She turned around and was face to face with me. Her eyes went wide and a smile immediately formed.
"Ashley!" she shouted rubbing her eyes to what I assume is to make sure she was seeing correctly. Well, I'm glad she remembers who I am. "What are you doing here?" she asked bringing me into a hug. I think my brain just turned to mush when her arms were around me. She smelled like vanilla, and I suddenly felt relaxed.
When she pulled away, my body immediately missed her warmth, and her scent lingered in my nose. "I uhmm, well," I stuttered. Shit, Kyla told me what to say, but I can't remember what it was. "Well, Kyla called me last night and told me she ran into you."
"Yeah, I did!" she laughed. "It was kinda funny actually. We saw each other at a pizza parlor and one of my students who is also your biggest fan works there. She almost fainted meeting Kyla because she's your best friend."
"Really?!" I tried to act surprised. At least she didn't know I was there in the parlor too. "Well, Kyla called me and told me you said you enjoyed my concert," I said wriggling my eyebrows. Wait, what the fuck am I doing.
"Yeah, it was awesome. I was in the front row," she said blushing. She looks so cute when she's blushing.
"Really now," I said tapping my chin. She was swinging side to side holding her keys in both hands. "Well, I was still in L.A.," which was a lie, "so I decided to stop by and see how you were doing. I haven't seen you in what, ten years," I said emphasizing on the ten years part.
"I know! How did we even lose touch," she asked tilting her head.
"I guess I just graduated and yeah," I said with a sigh. "It's okay though," I shrugged. "We're gonna start talking and hanging out more right," I asked hoping she would get what I was trying to say.
"Of course. Let's not worry about the past. It's the present that counts," she nodded her head. "And might I just add, Wow!" I looked at her confused. "Who knew shy, quiet, Ashley Davies was going to become a famous celebrity," she laughed.
"Well, I'm just full of surprises," I shrugged with my hand in my pocket.
"I bet you are," she smirked. "So how long are you in L.A. for?"
"As long as I wish," I replied.
"Awesome," she said excited. "Call me," she said taking a pen out of her bag and writing her phone number on my arm. My heart was beating so fast, it's almost as if I were running for hours. Her hands were soft, and I wanted nothing more, but to lace my hands with hers.
"I'll definitely be doing that," I said with a grin. I stood where I was and watched as she went in her car.
She rolled down the window, "I'll be expecting a call from you missy," she said with her bright smile. I gave her a salute, and then she drove away.
I walked back towards my car and kept my cool. Once I was in my car, I did my happy dance and put her number in my phone as Spencer =) .
