Chapter 10

Surprise

Well Spencer was right, she is officially grounded for a couple weeks. I only see her at school or if she goes out with her dad to get groceries. I am bored completely out of my mind without her, I'm starting to talk to her brother for God's sake.

If I don't come up with something clever then I will surely die of boredom. I'm sure Aiden and his little boy toy can help me come up with something. I hate how Aiden keeps jumping around though, I know I'm being a hypocrite but sometimes he will switch two guys in one night. I swear he needs to find one person or I will beat the hell out of him. Enough of focusing on him, now what could get me at least an hour with Spencer?

There is the bell for lunch, at least I can have some time with her. I'll also get a chance to talk some crazy plan into Aiden.

(A) " Aiden, I'm actually glad to see you"

(AI) "Yeah, nice to see you too Ash"

(A) "What?, Anyway you need to help me with something."

(AI) "If its homework you are so on your own, I'm in over my head"

(A) "As if I'd even do my homework, but that's not the point we need to plan something so that I can see Spencer for more than 20 minutes or in class. I mean outside of this prison."

(AI) "So basically come up with something so that you two could get busy"

(A) "Shut up that's not what I meant, I could just want to talk you know."

(AI) "Sure and I'm Santa Clause's boyfriend"

(A) "Well I knew you liked them older but that's ancient"

(AI) "Cut the crap, now why are you asking for my help? I know you can be very clever on your own."

(A) "Yeah, but two heads are better than one. Plus I know your dying to go to Spencer's house."

(AI) "Oh really, and why is that?"

(A) "Cause I might have read some of your text messages"

(AI) "...Which ones?"

(A) "Oh I don't know the ones that might have said you like Glen"

(AI) "You bitch, how did you even get a hold of my phone I don't recall anything."

(A) "I didn't I just guessed by the way you look at him, and now I really know cause you incriminated yourself."

(AI) "Damn it Ash, let me guess you will hold this against me unless I help you right?"

(A) "And to think that after all these years you wouldn't know me that well."

(AI) "Fine, agreed I help you and you keep your mouth shut."

Just them Spencer walks in, I swear she is always coming in to lunch late. I wonder why though? I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of that eventually but right now there is a different plan on the agenda.

I'm going to have to change the subject since I don't want her to know about my plan. Surprises aren't my thing but every once and a while they can be dare I say fun. Plus she has a thing for people overhearing what she says so that means her parents would find out.

(A) "Spence!"

(AI) "What she said"

(S) "Hey you guys, so what's up?"

(A) "Um nothing just talking about the weather right Aiden?"

(AI) "Wait a moment I thought we were just thinking of a way to ...SMACK...what was that for Ash? Oh wait never mind, yeah the weather"

(S) "Just cause I'm blonde doesn't mean I'm completely stupid. You two are up to something, I know it. Believe me I will find out, I'm very capable of things."

(A) "Yeah I know just how 'capable' you can be at times."

(S) "I'm sure you know."

(AI) "Hate to interrupt this cute 'look at us flirting' thing but yeah, didn't you want to say something Spencer?"

(S) "Thanks for reminding me Aiden."

(A) "You suck, I might have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids"

(S) "Isn't that from Scooby-Doo?"

(A) "What they can come up with clever things too you know."

(AI) "Anyways..."

(S) "Right, so where was I? Ah yes now I remember... you Ashley will tell me what the hell you are up to."

(A) "DO I really have to? I thought you liked surprises."

(S) "I don't know what your idea of a surprise is but I'll let you slip by this time, don't expect me to be so lenient the next time though.

(AI) "Well I'll see you latter Ash, and I'll see you Spencer again next period so I better get going so I can get some peace and quiet."

(S) "I resent that. Well anyway get going I have things to do too."

(A) "What are these alleged things you speak of?"

(S) " I have to talk to my favorite person in the world."

(A) "And who would that be?"

(S) "I don't know maybe you...r mom"

(A) "Funny, think you're a comical genius don't you?

(S) "Only around you."

The bell rang and we said our goodbyes before running to our classes, well she went to class. There were some things that I needed to do which required me to skip a few things. I had a list of things to buy at the store, they might come in handy for later.

I got back from the store in time for my last class of the day, which I just had to have with Aiden. We talked about the possible things we could do, which all consisted of him doing something ridiculously stupid as a distraction. For me this would be a win, win situation, I could spend some time with Spence and know that Aiden is making an ass of himself.

Home free, the bell just rang and I'm running to my car a smile clearly visible with just a hint of mischief. I drove home straight home to get on the phone and put together the final plan for getting Spencer. We were going to come up with something fun I just know it.

It was seven thirty and I knew for a fact that Satan was still at the hospital with a late shift, again. I memorized her schedule, the stupid or not so stupid things you do when you get bored. I picked up Aiden, a ladder, and some food.

The plan was that Aiden would go to Spencer's front door some how get past her dad and keep Glen "busy". Spencer's dad no offence would most likely be to busy cooking or something to notice that I would get to her window with the ladder. I didn't have to do anything about Clay cause we was out with Sean. If Mr. Carlin wanted to come upstairs to talk to Spencer then Aiden would once again come it and keep him at bay. Crappy plan but what do you expect when you were up for 13 hours and running on Starbucks coffee?

We are outside of the house, now or never. I wonder exactly how Aiden was going to keep Glen away, I know he can be persuasive but how good were his skills? I don't care if Glen knows about Spencer and me but he does have a thing for blurting crap out when he gets angry hence he would spill something to Paula on accident of course but still.

Aiden makes his way to the front door and I make my way to Spencer's bedroom window. We give each other the thumbs up sign and follow through with our plan.

(a/n) Kinda short but it's an update right? Any way the next chapter is sure to be quite a bit longer, since there were some flaws in the plan. Paula comes home early and walks in on...something

Reviews are nice(hint hint)
