A/N Wow! How long has it been since I updated? Haha. Sorry about the long delay, I've just been really busy with the problem with my parents and yeah. I don't want to get into it. Oh and the song in here is Complicated by Daniel Bedingfield.
Enjoy chapter 10! Wow, can't believe I made it to chapter 10! Haha.
Oh, and its Spencer's POV again!!
I sigh as I take a seat in between Renee and Daniele and across from Casey. I don't know where Callie went, but she's not here anymore. They were all talking about something but I don't know what they are talking about. My mind is somewhere else right now.
I look around the cafeteria and see people laughing and smiling. Why can't that be me? I always have something going on.
I was really good friends with Casey until 4th grade. That's when we drifted apart. Well, actually her mom made her go to boarding school. So we were kind of forced apart.
She came back from boarding school in 7th grade. That's when I had the biggest crush on her. I smile remembering that crush. I wonder where Ashley even went. I get up and tell them I might be back and I walk over to where me and Ashley were talking. She's gone.
I walk over to the freshmen and they become really quite. Weird. "Hey, do you guys know where that one girl I was talking too went? She's about my height and she has brown –"I started but one of them cut me off. The one that laughs like a donkey.
"She walked up those stairs." He told me pointing to them
I smile at them and walk up the stairs. I sigh trying to remember what her next class was. I can't remember it so I try the bathroom to see if she's in there.
I walk in and no one is even in here. I walk over to the mirrors and stare at myself. I sigh and walk out. I just start walking down the hallway looking in all the classrooms and I don't see her.
Im at the end of the hallway and didn't find her. I sigh as I make my way up another flight of stairs to look in the classrooms on the upper floor. I start walking down the hallway when I hear her laughter. I smile as I look in the first room and I see them together. Ashley and Callie.
I stand in the doorway and watch them. She just touched Ashley's arm. Ashley was sitting in the desk and Callie was sitting on top of it.
I try and listen to what they were talking about, but was interrupted by him. Brian. That boy never leaves me alone. I turn around to face him.
"You never stop talking to me, do you?" I give him a smile. I can feel them watching us now. They stopped talking.
Brian smiles at me, "Well, why would I stop talking to a girl who's cute and funny?" He states like a question. I hate it when people do that. It kind of annoys me.
"I know I wouldn't." He laughs a little along with me. I turn around and like I felt, they were watching us. "Hey, Ash." I say
She gives me a tiny smile. She crosses her legs. She's wearing a short jean skirt and a white and pink Abercrombie and Fitch shirt. She looks really hot in her skirts. I smile on the inside.
Brian walks past me and sits down next to them and starts to talk about something. It makes them laugh. I didn't catch what he said because I was busy staring at Ashley and watching Callie touch her arm again. She looked back over at me and I sighed and walked away.
I made it back down to the lower level of our school. I walked over to my locker and sat down against the one under mine. I stared at the lockers on the other side of the wall. I didn't notice Renee sit down next to me until she said hey.
I looked at her, "Hi." I say quietly and stare at her. She knows something that I don't. I can see it in her expressions. I want to know what it is.
She smiles at me and grabs my hand. I take it back from her immediately and look forward. I know that I shouldn't have done that, but im kind of mad at her too. "What is going on between you and Ashley?" I ask her. I want to know.
She doesn't say anything. She pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. I look over at her, "Renee, just tell me." I say
She looks at me and opens her mouth, "Ok… Ashley—" She was cut off by the bell. She gets off the floor and offers her hand to help me up. I take it and stand by her.
She gives me and hug and walks off without telling me why. I roll me eyes and go to my next class.
The rest of the day went by kind of slow. We didn't have basketball practice today. It was our day off. I got into my car and started it. The music started to play one of Raife Davies songs. I just sit there listening to it. The concert was in 2 days.
The song was playing and he was singing about his life being so complicated. This song was from his first album. He was around his 20's. Usually I sing along with his songs, but this time, I listened to the words he was saying.
How long can you
hold out against me You're so complicated How long must I
pretend to like you You're so
complicated
How long can you resist to kiss me
Cause
you know you want to
You know I want to
I know I want to
You
know you want to
But you can't let this be
The reason for a
season of love
And I can't figure you
out
You're just so complicated
In every one of your ways
As
I've often stated
Girl, I'm not messing you about
You're just
so complicated
In everyone of your displays
When it's so plain to see that im falling for
you
Cause I want to have you
I want to hold you
I want to
always be there for you
So please don't be frightened
By the
strength with which
I'm holding your heart
And I can't figure you out
You're just so
complicated
In every one of your ways
As I've often
stated
Girl, I'm not messing you about
You're just so
complicated
In everyone of your displays
The song ends as someone knocks on my passenger side window. I turn to see who it is and it's her. Ashley. I unlock the doors and she gets in. I turn down the music. It was another one of his songs.
I look at her, "What are you doing here?" I ask her
She turned to me and smiled sweetly. Then she picked up my iPod was turned the music up. She started to sing along with her father. I smiled at the sight and put the car in drive and started to drive off.
I kept replaying the song in my head. I listened to Ashley sing along with the music that was playing. I was going to drop her off at her house. The house I never saw before.
I pulled into her driveway and parked the car. I sat there looking at her house. I was humongous.
Ashley started to laugh, "Thanks for the ride home, Spence." She gave me a hug and got off of the car. I watched her walk away.
I never even thought that a house this big was in Ohio. I put the car back into drive and started to drive off. Then another one of my favorite songs came on. I sang along with it as I thought about what would happen Friday night at the concert. I smiled as I drove home.
A/N Ok, well I shall stop there. Tell what you think of it. Don't forget to review!! I'll try and update faster if I can. Hopefully I will be able too. Im going to be pretty busy the next couple of days. But if I get a lot of reviews, I might update within my busy schedule. :)
