Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Love you all! Well today was a half day for me… but not really because I didn't leave school till 3:45 and we got out at 12:21. Im beat from softball practice but I thought about this chapter and how I wanted to do it today in math class. You know the one I can't pay attention in. lol.
And since that most of you guys wanted to see how everything thing was going from Ashley's POV, this is going to be the first chapter… so really boring I guess. Just a recap I guess is what you can call it. But, I'll post another one really soon because this is just a pointless chapter that I must do. Lol. If you know what I mean. Because I can't really just go from where I left off from Spencer, ya know? Lol. Ok enough of me rambling.
Chapter 8! Ashley's POV!
Oh my god im so hungry! Like, im not even kidding! This line is really long. Like way too long. I wonder where Kyla is. I haven't really talked to her today. Aw look over there, my boyfriend, Aiden Dennison! Well actually secret boyfriend. See, here at this uptight school that I rule, we aren't allowed to have boyfriends or girlfriends. Lame huh? At least you don't have to live here freaking 24/7. It sucks.
Anyways, Aiden has been going here ever since I started which was pretty young. He's the same age as me and he's pretty cool. But I can't believe that he actually made me get my own breakfast today. "Wow can this line go any slower?" I hear from behind me. I turn around and she crosses her arms and she starts to strum her fingers on top of her arm. I knew someone who did that a lot.
"Really it—nice outfit." She really must be new. So I send her a soft smile and she stops strumming her fingers. She's really pretty. I wonder where she's from.
Finally the line moves forward. "Yeah well im not the biggest fan of the outfit that we're suppose to wear." I chuckle as I grab a plate for my food. Finally someone here agrees with me.
"Yeah I wasn't the biggest fan either when my mom sent me here when I was little. Now, I learned how to look hot in the outfit." And it is true. I mean, look at me! I even shorten the skirt and "accidentally" lost my top button.
I order my food and move up the line a little. I think she's checking me out. I've never had a girl check me out before. So I just act like I don't notice. She orders her food, "You've been going here since you were little? Wow, your mom must really hate you." Wow she has no idea does she?
I chuckle as we both get out of the line and start walking back over to where the tables are set up. We both stop by my table and I look over at her with a smile, "Yeah I think she does." She smiles back at me and I think my knees just went a little weak. That's new. Ok wait, why is she walking away? I didn't even get her name! "Wait! I didn't get your name." wow I sound like some horny dude wanting a chicks name and number
"I didn't give it." And now I feel like a complete idiot. Why didn't she give me her name? I think that's kind of funny. But whatever. It's not like I really wanted it. Ok well that's a lie, but you can't tell anyone.
I watch her sit down next to Gracie Lucas. That girl is actually pretty cool. But im supposed to hate her and be mean to her because Kyla doesn't like her. So, yeah I guess im going to listen to my sister. Well, half sister. See, my—our dad died when I moved here from a really small town back east seven years ago. He died in a car crash and poor Kyla's mom died 2 years after. So my mom and I took her in. sadly though, she's a year older than me but she acts like she's years younger. She's really immature to be 17 already. I don't know who the guy is though. He's kind of cute. But not as cute as the blonde. Ok whoa, what was that? I so did not even think that about her did I?
Kyla sits down across from me and Aiden finally notices that im here. "Did you guys see the new girl?" I roll my eyes because boys are so typical
"Aiden, there are like 30 of them. Which one are you talking about?" That would be my best friend Madison. Well I mean, I don't really consider her my bestest friend in the whole wide world because someone back east still has that position. I mean, I really don't think she does anymore, she never wrote or called me back. Never. She would be Spencer Carlin. Probably the coolest kid on the block back when we were little. I miss her. A lot.
After we eat breakfast, me, Madison, Kyla, and a couple of their friends who I say are my friends but not really because I don't like them. I act like it though, because im the most popular girl in school. We go outside and we walk around aimlessly. I don't know why we do this. It's really pointless because after we make a round around the campus, we're just going to go back up to our dorm rooms and talk about boys or gossip. You could probably tell that I hate my life but I act like I love it. It's all an act as you can see.
We turn the corner and I look ahead and I see the blonde girl from earlier today sitting on a bench talking on her cell phone. Once again, I tune out all of the other girls and just stare at her. When we get closer, I can kind of hear her talking, "Did you look in the bathroom?" She kind of smiles into the phone. I wonder who she's talking too.
We start to walk past her when she says something else after she smiles at me, "You never know, babe." Babe? I think she's gay. But I don't know. I have this feeling inside of me that is telling me that she is. I don't know what I could call it, but I have it. I smile back at her and her smile goes kind of bigger and it weakens my knees again. I think there is something seriously going on with me. I think I should just be a bitch to her and ignore whatever is going on inside of me. Maybe that'll work.
We get back inside of the school and me and Kyla walk the other girls to their rooms because they apparently can't go by themselves. So we're walking down the hallway towards our room because we share one with each other. We're talking about the new movies that are coming out this Friday. We might go see one, "Hey look, its little miss rebel." Who the heck is talking—why did she call the blonde girl that! I mean, she is a total rebel. I got that from what she wears. But geez Kyla.
The blonde is walking towards Kyla, "You got a problem with me?" wow, with Kyla being so smaller than me and her; the blonde could so take her. That is probably just what Kyla needs to get the stick out of her butt.
She hides behind me, "Um no." I think the blonde chick is kind of being a bully. Maybe it's because she was bullied or something when she was little. Whatever it is, it looks like she is having fun.
She rolls her eyes and started to head back to her dorm, "Whatever." Or maybe just annoyed of us. But still, I guess I should stand up for Kyla. She is my sister and everything.
"What's your problem?" Well I thought I should have asked ya know?
"Um stuck-up rich snobby girls who think they rule the school." Um, ouch! Am I really that stuck-up? It's just an act! I swear! Maybe I should just continue being a bitch towards her and copy Kyla's eye roll right now. Kyla says whatever and we walk off. When we're walking away, I hear the blonde call either both of us, or me or Kyla a bitch. I think it was towards me though. Figures. I just messed everything up huh.
Kyla just wants to get back at her, so we just have to go to the principle's office and tell on the blonde. I don't know how she can always be so mean. Maybe she's just jealous because the blonde is so much hotter than her. Ok ok, what was that? Wow, I so need to get out more.
We go back to the blonde's room and she's kneeling on the floor in front of her backpack. She removes her hands from the back of her neck when the principle knocks on her door. It looks like she just put on a necklace or something. I hear Kyla tell the principle that she called me a bitch. Then Mr. C says something's about her needing to remember what they talked about earlier today before he walks off.
"You told on me?" I know for real Kyla! You're 17!
"She's coming towards me again." Wow I so did not even noticed that Kyla. She needs to learn to stick up for herself.
I hear the blonde ask her something but I was looking for the necklace that she put on but I couldn't find it. "Scared?" Ha, wow she so doesn't know Kyla.
Kyla pushes me forward a little. She really needs to learn how to stick up for herself, "What's your problem?" What? I couldn't think of anything else to say. So instead of her answering me, I push her. And that's when I know that I messed everything up with this girl.
She pushes me back and up against the door. I can smell her since she's really close. She smells like French vanilla. Why the hell am I smelling her? I push her back into the wall. This is kind of hot-- She's just the girl im looking for. Oh yeah, she's definitely gay. Whoa there! She's about to punch me! I close my eyes and im ready for the punch but Mr. C pulls the blonde back away from me. He's looking coldly at her right now, "Carlin! My office! Right now!" Wow I don't think I have ever seen him mad.
He looks over at me now, "You too." And then he turns and walks down the hallway. I can't believe im about to get in trouble. And I can't believe that the blonde's last name is Carlin. Carlin. As in… Spencer Carlin? I follow Mr. C right after he tells me to go to his office because I want to just get this all over with.
When we get into the office, we pass the secretary who looks like she shouldn't even be working anymore. She's like… really old. We go into his office and he's not even in here. He had to stop and go to the bathroom. Carlin starts to strum her fingers on her leg and right then, I knew it had to be her. She gives me a weird look and I stare into her eyes. I know it's her. It has to be her.
When Mr. C comes back into the room, he asks us what that was all about. I really can't believe I started a fight. Well, it's not really a fight. Just a few pushes and almost a black eye for me. I really didn't even expect her to be that strong. When im about to tell him that it's my entire fault, Carlin beats me to it. Why is she taking all the blame? Im the one who started the whole thing! I guess she does have a soft side. I should really get to know her instead of trying to pick fights with her because she could so kick my ass. "Spencer, what are we going to do with you?" I quickly look over at the blonde. It is her! Spencer Carlin! Oh my god! It's my best friend. Well, I don't know what I should call her now. Ex? I don't know. But wow, I can't believe this.
We get out of his office and she already starts to walk down the hallway. She's already leaving and why do I act so sad? I need to talk to her. I need to make sure that it's her. "Why did you do that?"
"Don't get use to it." Yeah don't worry. I won't.
And of course, she starts to walk away again. I catch up to her and ask her if that's really her name. Why? Because im some what in denial. "Does it really matter?" She replies back to me, "Because if it doesn't, then it isn't my name." I don't think she has any clue who I am. And why the hell does she keep trying to turn around and walk off!
I grad her hand which is really soft. I wonder what she uses. I send her a soft smile, "No, it does matter. A lot." Well it does.
And just when she's about to say something else, Madison walks up with the rest of her clan that follows her around, "Ew Ashley, why are you holding her hand? Didn't you hear about her?" She must get bitch lessons from Kyla.
She takes her hand back and I look back over at Spencer and she is looking at me coldly. What did I do? "Just… leave me alone, alright? You and," She looks over at my so called friends and then back at me, "your friends." And she walks away. I don't bother to keep talking to her though. I just really want to but I am sensing that she doesn't want to keep talking to me. So I go with Madison and act like nothing ever happened and just ignore her or be a complete bitch towards Spencer.
And that didn't work out well at all because I sit in front of her in art. And she's so cute! And I can't believe that it's my Spencer. My old Spencer. The one I use to tell all of my secrets too. The one I spent every second of my life with. That is until my parents took me here to California. She still never told me why we really moved here. And now Spencer is throwing paper at me and it's kind of bugging me because I want to start drawing but I can't because of her. She is too cute and I don't know why I keep saying that about her. I need to stop. But I mean you can't control who you like, right? Even if it is your old best friend.
I didn't talk to Spencer again throughout the whole week because of some things that im scared of. If you know what I mean. So that's why I talking to a guy at this party that we just had to sneak out of school to go too. And why am I talking to a drunken guy who is clearly hitting on me? I don't know. Where is Spencer? I want her to save me from him because he just put his hand on my waist. "Sorry, but she's with me." Just in time little miss buzzed. She can't stop smiling. It's really adorable actually.
We walk outside and she tells me not to talk to drunken guys and then adds a sarcastic comment. I chuckle as I jump up onto the railing and sit down on it and stare down at her. I smile at her because I just can't believe that it's her. I don't want to believe it's her because I like her. I can't believe that I like her! I can't believe that I just admitted that! Oh wow.
I make her go for a walk on the beach with me because I wanted her to and because she's never been on the beach before. We flirted a lot and it felt good. When I was though, I totally forgot that she use to be my best friend. I wouldn't consider that anymore I guess because we haven't talked to each other for seven years. We get back to the house and I sing a couple of songs because im really bored and I love these songs. But when Kyla calls me and tells me that Mr. C is looking for me, I knew we had to go then. She doesn't know that im with Spencer though because they both really hate each other. It's really sad.
We're almost out of the house but we're back in because Spencer wants to dance to the slow song. And I am so not saying no to that. When we're dancing though, she keeps pulling me closer. And when we out bodies are touching, I notice that they fit perfectly with each others. And then she does something that I didn't expect to happen. She kisses me. And then I do something that I never expected me to do. I kiss her back. But then after a moment of kissing her soft lips that felt so good against mine, I pull back and I start to freak out. I never would have thought about kissing her! I can't believe I kissed Spencer Carlin! Wow. And she was good!
She follows me outside and she keeps telling me over and over that she's sorry. And after I tell her that I knew who she was, she kisses me again and I kiss her back. I couldn't say anything else because I was already in tears that never fell. My old best friend is back. My Spencer is back with me. And it's like a miracle or something.
When we got back to school, I took the blame this time. Because Mr. C said something about calling Spencer's parents and something about juvie. I wonder why she's here then.
She looked shocked that I took the blame for everything that happened last night. But it was really cute. And now we're in the bathroom, and I have to tell her something about last night. But she doesn't let me. Instead, she kisses me again. She presses in the middle of my back and makes my body go into hers. She's an excellent kisser. Wow.
But now, my sister and her friend Gracie are in the bathroom. Why are they looking for me? Us? I don't know. We go up against the wall and exchange looks when Kyla asks Gracie for cover-up. She is such a drama queen I swear. We have to hold in our laughter when Gracie acts like it's a big deal with Kyla. She's kind of funny.
I look over at Spencer and she's smiling but she's also strumming her fingers on the wall. Something is on her mind, I can tell that. I hear the door shut and we both walk out of the stall slowly and quietly. "Ok, well you go out first—" I had to do it because she looks really nervous about something. I kissed her. Yeah, take that. I can take the lead sometimes too little missy.
Ok, I know that this chapter was completely boring. But if I do any other Ashley POV's, it wouldn't be a re-cap. The next chapter should be up by this weekend because this was just really a pointless chapter. Review if you want.
Oh and another thing. To answer someone's review, im sorry I totally forgot your name on here, but yeah I switched their personalities and stuff. I get tried with the same old stories trying to be exactly the same with the show ya know? So yeah, that's why Kyla is a total bitch, Ashley is the one who grew up with the catholic stuff, and Spencer is the rebel. Lol.
So, should I put Carmen in this story? Drama? Or what? I don't know. Maybe not. Tell me what you guys think. Whose POV do you want next!
