John, Max, Lucy and I all dressed in jeans, shirts and tennis shoes. Comfy and able to fight any one with out restriction, not that we will fight anyone today but we all decided that if this war is escalating its time to put aside fashion for flexibility.

We left Susan and her body guards at my house, waiting for us to return after school with a certain blond hair blue eyed young Lesbike who doesn't know she's a Lesbike. Sighing we made our way to the gym; school didn't start for at least another forty five minutes.

"Guys wait," I placed my hand on Max's who was just about to open the door to the gym where music was blaring signaling the cheerleaders hard at work.

"What is it Ash?" Lucy questioned with a raised eye brow.

"Let me go in by my self,"

"Is that such a good idea?" John scratched his head glancing around to his friends.

"Yea I don't know about that Ash, I mean with Madison knowing that we know about Spencer she's sure to have a fight ready to go."

"True but look if we keep going in and making Spencer stay away from those thugs will never have her on our side, she'll keep running off to them. Just let me deal with her okay?" I pulled out the big round puppy dog eyes and pout which works well on gay girls, straight boys and with the added moister to look like I was going to cry gay guys as well.

"Fine god suck the pout back in," Lucy held up a cross made from her fingers and every laughed.

Taking a deep breath I whipped open the doors and walked in. My mouth felt like it hit the floor; the whole cheerleading team was dancing and grinding to the beat of the music. Short shorts, skimpy shirts, bouncing breasts, sweat glistening off every pore, God why did Spencer have to give me a wet dream last night this is only making me hornier.

Spencer saw me enter, her movements stiffened while fear flickered in her ocean blue eyes. I had to play this just right or we'd lose her. Mustering enough courage I gave her a shy smile and continued toward them but instead of stopping anything I sat up in the bleachers watching. Spencer smiled at me and her moves loosened up and if I can't get to a bathroom before first period I would be doomed to wait three hours until lunch...nah I'm just going to skip because there is no way I'm going to be in class wet and aroused.

The music cut out as Madison glared at me, "This is a private practice."

Ah the demon speaks, "Sorry..." that's right Davies play it cool, my brown eyes flicker over to Spencer whose watching the scene closely, "Just stopping by to give my main girl over there," I pointed to Spencer with a wink, "some encouragement."

I have never seen Spencer's smile that huge before, I think I died and went to heaven because I can't get this cheesy smile off my face to, aw she just turned bright red and looked away so cute.

"Yeah well you did it so bugger off now!" Madison flicked her thumb toward the gym doors where I could see my friends peeking in to make sure nothing happened to me.

Walking down the bleachers I stood in front of the group, "Like I said my bad...can I talk to you for a minute?" the last part directed at my favorite blond.

She nodded and began to walk over to me only Madison stopped her, "We are in the middle of practice, where do you think your going?"

"I...um...with..." she was stumbling over her words, come on Spence tell her off, "With Ashley." She pointed at me.

Madison glared at me for a second but my cool exterior never faltered, realizing what I was doing the Latina relaxed, "You know what fine...practice is over," she yelled out to the rest of the girls who gave a few shouts of happiness while heading for the locker room to shower and change before class, Madison turned back to Spencer, "Be here after school we have another practice."

"Sure," Spencer nodded; I saw a twinkle in her eye at being included in the team practices, fuck this is getting harder and harder. We walked to the bleachers and sat down, "So?"

"So..." shifting I made sure she was looking at me but damn still not in the eye, "Look I want to apologize for the way I acted yesterday. It was wrong and I did say you could go over to Madison's house."

"Yea you did so why did you say no once my dad left?"

Scratching the back of my neck feeling the sweat trickle down, "I can't explain..."

"Than I don't care," she started getting up and heading to the locker rooms.

"I wanted to hang out with you," okay where did that come from.

XXX

"You wanted to hang out with?" I asked completely thrown off by that statement, what did she mean by hang out with me.

She looks so nervous shifting from foot to foot and playing with hem of her shirt, "It's just I thought once you started cheerleading we wouldn't hang out so much because you'd always be around them."

"Ash we never hang out in the first place," I laughed she has been so off lately but it's kind of cute to see the less defiant Ashley.

"Well what if I want to change that?" she asked taking a few steps closer, gulping my breath became shallower.

"You...you'd want to uh hang with me?" Come on Carlin suck it up and talk to her she's just you foster sister...just your hot, riddled with muscles and flat abs and perfect breasts and a great ass foster sister. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts I continued to stare out at the fast approaching girl.

"Yeah, just you and me no one else. We could do anything you want," okay I totally feel like I'm in one of my daydreams and I'm going to wake up any minute to her tripping me or something.

"Wh-wha-...um what would you want to um do?" my voice came out shaking and I felt like such an idiot, I mean she probably isn't even talking about anything my mind is coming up with.

"It's all about you Spence, we could go to the movies or stay in and have ice cream and a movie night. Go back to the club and dance the night away." She smiled, man I love her smile it makes me weak in the knees and yep okay I need something to hold on or I'm going to pass out soon, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I squeak out like some mouse, rolling my eyes I cleared my throat, "yeah Ash I'm fine."

"Sure because you look a little flushed to me," she stepped forward and brushed the back of her hand against my hot cheek, "Your burning up...Spencer are you sick?"

Sick in the head maybe be, okay Spencer get a grip, "NO...I mean no I'm great never better." Okay so that is lie I was feeling a little queasy on the walk to meet Madison, thing is I hardly ever get sick, mom says I have a great immune system except ever other year or so I catch a really bad case of something, last time it was the measles and before that the flu. I hate being sick, despise it because I don't like being forced to eat chicken noodle soup or take yucky medicine or stay in bed. I just don't like being taken care of.

"You're lying," how does she know?

"No I'm not look we have to get to class," I grab my bag and rush off leaving Ashley standing in the gym alone. My head was throbbing but I put it off and as I disappeared into the locker room I heard Ashley's voice calling after me to meet her for lunch in the quad. I won't answer I'm to far out of hearing range but it doesn't matter because she knows I'm wrapped around her finger and I'll show. And I like it that way.

TBC.
