AN: An update! AHH! Ok so I feel like it's been a while, right? It's just been hectic. Finals have started and I might not update again until they are over. Also I was going to update last weekend but I went away to an amusement park. Oh and all my stuff was stolen there. But whatever...I replaced my phone and iPod already. Let me know what you think about the chapter. I love feedback so please review!

Chapter 10

I quickly ducked down behind a wall as I heard my brother run past me. I silently crawled around the wall and stood up pressing my back against the wall. I looked left to right making sure Glen wasn't around before walking off again.

I thought back to the last time I was here. With Ashley. I hadn't really spoken to her about the kiss. We hung out some more that night but then Chelsea came over with Sean and so did Glen and Kyla, making it hard for us to talk. Soon after Kyla and Ashley left. I feel really confused. Like, I honestly don't know what to do. She kissed me. She kissed me. I kissed a girl...and I liked it. Ok sorry, that was just reflex. That phrase is now like "Who you gonna call?" Never useable. But, anyway, I've never been in this situation before. Duh. I've never kissed a girl before. This shouldn't be different, than a boy. But then again I don't have to deal with what people think if I go date a boy. My Mother would flip. Her perfect Catholic family order...thrown out of order. Why do I feel like this? Why do I even like her? I don't. I have now decided it was just hormones. Yes. I was confused and curious, that has to be it.

Face it Spence, you like Ashley. No I don't. Ok yes I do. Why the hell am I talking to myself? This is making me insane. And let's not forget the fact that I don't even know where Ashley and I stand. Whether she just kissed me and it's over or are there strings now? I could talk to Chelsea, because she's the only one that knows how I feel and thank God for her. She's been so supportive. But she doesn't really know what I'm feeling. Who can I talk to, other than Ashley? And I kind of rule her out considering she's the one that is making me so confused.

You know what? I don't care. If liking a girl is wrong, then I'm just going to violate every rule in the book. Who gets to control how I feel? Yeah! Ok, so I've boosted my spirits for a bit.

I look down as the lights on my vest go out. Darn, maybe I should pay more attention instead of worrying about my personal life during laser tag.

"Hey Spence, what's going on? This isn't even hard for me!" laughed my brother as he turned around a wall. Oh there's no way I'm letting Glen win! For the rest of the playful match I focused on keeping my score up. If there is one thing I've noticed it's that since Ashley has been around I find that it's harder to focus and my laser game suffers. It shouldn't suffer because she confuses me. The nerve.

"So Glen, you and Kyla are becoming sort of serious huh?" I ask my brother as we walk into the main lobby and over to the counter to get our score cards.

"Yeah, I guess. I mean she's really cool and I really like her," he said bashfully. I laughed, "Aww, Glen likes someone!"

"Shut up Spence," he said with fake anger with a smile, "Hey I'm thirsty, you want a water bottle?"

"Sure," I said as he walks off to buy something. Stacey comes back with my printed scorecard and smiled. I suddenly realized that Stacey might like me. My brother just left me here with her. What do I do? Do I say anything? Why can't I be oblivious like before?

"So where's your girlfriend Spence?" she asked curiously. I noticed she had no tone of malice in her voice so I assumed she meant well.

"Who?" I asked.

"Umm, brunette gave me an evil death stare last time you were here," she said smiling. Oh, Ashley. Right.

"Oh, she's not my girlfriend," I said.

"Huh, you guys just seemed close," she said. I thought about it. Had Ashley been really jealous?

"Oh no...We're not. I mean she kissed me but..." I just trailed off unsure of where to take the conversation. Stacey looked at me and tilted her head for a moment.

"You know Spence, if you ever want to hang out and talk we can. I mean outside of a laser tag arena," she laughed, "I don't want to assume anything but it just seems like you've got a lot on your plate. And if it's about what I think it is, I can help...we can just talk," she said. Having someone to talk to about this would be great. Stacey basically just told me she was gay, so she has to know what I'm feeling right?

"Yeah, actually that would be helpful...actually it would be great," I said, "What's your number? So we can get together," I asked and she took my phone and put it in.

"Maybe next weekend?" she asked and I nodded.

"Hey Spence you ready?" I heard my brother yell from the door after finishing one of the videogames that the arcade in the lobby.

"Yeah. Hey whatever happened to my water?" I asked and he just shrugged. I rolled my eyes. He can be so annoying sometimes.
