Who knows?
/Rrring, rrring, rrring./
„Heey, I thought you would never call.." I answered.
„Yeah...at first I didn't wanted to call, because when I listen to you, I want to see you, but I figured this would be hard on the phone, so I thought I would just wait till tomorrow, but then..."She babbled and babbled and guess what? Yeah, right...babbled.
"Spence, I love to listen to your voice, but I don't know if you had noticed, that when you start babbling your voice gets incredibly high .." I told her, grinned at how cute she was.
"You know you love it, so stop complaining." 'Love...Now that she said that..'
"Could be..." I was in thoughts.
'Do I love her? Do I really love her? I mean she feels the same way I feel about her, but is it only being in love, or love...pure love...'
"Whereof are you thinking?" she asked concerned.
"Hng."
'Does she has to ask..?'
"Ash...," she whined "tell meeehee."
"Well, I think I'm thinking of something that has still some time to be told." 'Wise me'
"That's my baffling girlfrie-" she stopped in tracks.
"Wh- What happened??" I asked kinda suspicious.
"N-Nothing...uh...okay, I mean..we havn't really talked...about...us and I don't know where we are." She said trying to cover her nervousness.
"Oh, I thought that would be clear." I answered blunt.
"So, we really are..? I havn't misunderstood anything??"
"No, you haven't, you know you are the most adorable girlfriend I ever had? And not just that, you even are the only one I ever had." I said while laying great stress on the word girlfriend.
"Ahw, I wish I could kiss you now.." Her voice was disappointed.
" 'Spencer?' "
"What is it?" She nearly screamed in the phone.
" 'There is someone at the door for you' "
" 'Oh okay..' Uhm Ash, I've gotta hang up, but see you tomorrow...," She sighed. "I miss you.."
"You too, babe. Don't eat too much garlic."
Uh, okay. Bay"
"Bye." 'Garlic? How did that came in my mind?'
----------------------------------------------
In the beginning, the next day in school went good, until Spencer and me met, I mean then it even went better, but somehow I felt watched.
And it wasn't this comfortable kind of being watched, no, more of the opposite.
At lunch Spence and me, sat under a tree and huddled, till a shadow covered us from the sun. I looked up.
"Alex, hey, how are you?"
"Hey you two," He said with a wink while he sat down next to me " I'm fine, what about'ya? Havn't talked to ya lately."
I slightly blushed at the wink and answred him." Yeah me fine, too, "I said while smiling at Spencer " Yeah, sorry, I was kinda busy this weekend."
At that Spencer went all crimson.
He grinned knowingly "I see."
"So what about dinner tomorrow? I'll treat you...you two."
Spencer and me shared a look.
"Come on, folks!"
"Sure thing!" Both of us answered.
"Very well, so I'll be at Tim's, call you later," he said while standing up again "bye bye, lovebirds." He said as cheerful as never. And with that he was gone.
"Lovebirds?"
"Uh, it's just Alex, being Alex. And isn't he right?" I asked smirking.
"Sure he is, it's just that he knows..."
"Scared?"
"No.."
"Good, you know I havn't told him anything, just that I liked you, he helped me, comforted me."
"Ahw. That's cute, " she gave me a peck on the cheek " And I shouldn't be bothered if anyone knows, I mean, currently I'm the most hated girl in school, so I shouldn't even care anymore."
"You aren't the most hated girl in school, therefore I lo-like you too much." 'Oh my fucking gosh, that was a close call!!'
She looked at me, opened her mouth, closed it and started to open it again, but before she could say a word more something crashed against the tree we sat under.
"Hey Ash, hadn't thought you would be one of them..."
'Oh great, what does she want? Linda Appleman.. one of the cheerleaders, scycophant and whore'
I whispered to Spencer " Well, in my eyes, she's," Pointed to Linda " The most hated girl."
"Hey don't ignore me dyke!"
"Oh Linda that was hard...you cut me to the quick, really.." I said unimpressed.
She just ignored it and babbled something like " Now I know why you watched me all the time."
"Sure, when you're dieting, it's good to look at you, I call it the Look-At-Linda-And-Your-Food-Will-Be-Out-Soon-Diet."
Spencer slightly giggled, but grabbed my hand and tugged me out of the line of fire.
"We don't need this." She said determined.
"Ur right."
I wrapped my arm around her body and together we walked away not caring about those people who stared at us, while Linda screamed something about the fucking dykes we were.
-------------------------------------------
We skipped the rest of our periods and went to the ice parlor.
"Hey, I wanted to ask you something.."
"You know everytime you want to ask something, you say this sentence." She said while laughing.
"Ha ha, sorry, sorry, next time I'll just ask and you won't be prepared that there will be a question."
"Yeah, yeah, now what's pinching you?"
"Your mother.."
"Yeah, I've got the same problem." She said while laughing.
"No, now tell me what's up with her?"
"Well, I asked you some time before, but you wouldn't tell me. You know when I came by, because you weren't in school, she was so evil towards me.."
"Oh yeah I remember..." I saw a slight shade of pink covering her cheeks.
"Well?"
"Uh, she, you know, uh, I talk in sleep some nights and well, I must have talked the night before you came by, too, because the next morning she asked me who this 'Ash-Guy' was. And I got confused, until it hit me that she meant you, I asked her why she asked and she told me that I declared him my undying love in sleep, so I think when you told her your name on the door, she somehow got flurried."
With every word she said, her face went redder and redder.
"I see, hope she doesn't find out, I mean, come on, she'll kill me, the girl you confessed your undying love to." A little mocking won't hurt.
"Argh, stop! I was sleeping!" She playfully hit my arm, but with that she somehow managed to knock our bowl full of ice over.
"Ups..."
"Hey girls, what did you have done?!?" 'Seems to be angry..' I grinned and grabbed Spencer's hand, while started to run out of the ice parlor.
Around the next corner both of us laughed and ringed for air at the same time.
"That was fun." I said between laughs.
"Oh yeah, really fun, now we can't show our faces there again, we didn't even paid."
"Come on, don't be such a grandma."
--------------------------------------------
After I brought Spencer home I made my way home myself.
'Wow, today was really funny, I love that girl so much...' I sighed.
Some kids were walking and playing on the street, I only got attentive, after I heard this sentence.
"You know, you're nasty, my mommy says, people like you are unhuman."
Then I saw that they weren't playing, more of it, some kids were chasing after a little girl.
"Leave me alone!" The girl screamed, crying.
Then one of the kids, a young boy, pulled on her hair, I had to interfere.
"Hey Kiddos! What'cha doing?!"
All of them shrieked up and looked at me, I walked over to them.
"Go home, I'll take care of this." I said to them and they thought that I would punish her instead of them, because they left without another word.
The little girl just looked up to me with her red puffy eyes, she was at most 8 years old.
"Hey there, are you all right?"
"Ya..." She said with a sniffle.
"Can you tell me why those kids were so mean to you."
"No..?"
"Why wouldn't you?" 'She's really one cute girl'
"Because than you think I'm nasty, too and I don't want some so pretty woman like you are think that of me..." 'OMG, so adorable.'
"Thank you little one. I'm Ashley," I gave her my hand " Shall I take you home?"
"You have soft hands, miss Ashley, I'm Lisa, I live just over there." She pointed to a big house on the other side of the street.
"Fine, so and now tell me why they were so mean, believe me, I won't think you're nasty."
"Okay... but don't laugh at me...pomise?"
"I promise." 'How can one be so mean to this sweet little girl?'
"Well, they say I'm unnormal, because, I want to marry Josy when I'm an adult."
"Who is Josy?"
"Josy is my bestestest friend in the whole wide world, normally she beats up the guys when they're peeving me, but she has gotten the flu and can't come to school." 'She? Now I understand'
"Do you think I'm nasty, now?"
"No, no why would I, you know, there are some people in this world," 'how can I explain this to an eight years old child??' "Well, people who get annoyed when they hear things like you want to marry your friend, because they can't understand this, and those people think that things they don't understand are strange..or nasty." While my speech, she was nodding with every sentence, trying to figure what I'm talking about.
"But you don't think I'm strange?"
"No, I think you're cute as I think this is as normal as everything."
"But why don't the others understand?"
"Because there parents won't let them...," I said with a sigh " You know, when you're older you will understand everything of this, and maybe someday those other people will too."
"I don't think so, they aren't really smart, but I think I've gotta go home, my mommy will get mad with me."
"Okay, bye girl, stay strong."
"Thank you, miss Ashley, you're really nice."
The girl went towards her home and now I finally could go to mine as well.
