Chapter 35: The Technicolor Phase
It was Friday morning meaning Ashley's three day suspension was now over, which then meant she was currently getting out of bed while mumbling incoherent words, more than likely profanities of why she was awake at such a damned hour and her hatred towards 'fucking school'.
After moving like a slug to get ready for me fantastic education, Ashley was finally awake and riding on her skateboard over to her wonderful girlfriend whom she had woken up early for and rescheduled her naps for the three days she was suspended, just so she could see her. What a great girlfriend, right?
Ashley: "Hey baby."
Spencer looked up from scanning through her iPod to see a nose crinkling smiling brunette looking down on her, blocking the blinding morning sun. Spencer returned Ashley's heart warming smile with one of her own and motioned her to sit down next to her on the green ground. Ashley of course obliged and sat down next to Spencer who got the sun back in her eyes and squinted while she turned to Ashley.
Spencer: "It's really hot out here."
Ashley: "Ah yes the wonderful LA sun. It sucks right?
Spencer: "Very much so. How can you still where jeans and black shirts? I'm dying with these skirts and tank tops."
Ashley: "Very sexy tank tops and skirts." Ashley winked at a blushing Spencer. "Plus an overcoat of sweat looks extremely hot on you, I ain't complaining."
Spencer: "Ashhhh shut up."
Spencer ducked her head away from Ashley's sight and embarrassingly looked down at her iPod while red began to paint her features. Spencer then felt the soft hand of Ashley caressing her cheek, so she turned to see the brunette smiling in adoration.
Ashley: "You are so cute, you know that?" Spencer began to shake her head 'no' but Ashley put her hand up stopping her and shaking her own head 'no'. "And don't you dare say no."
Spencer nodded her head and said 'ok'.
Ashley: "That's what I thought. Now check this out."
Ashley leaned forward so she could reach in her back pocket. This action caused her cleavage to become much more visible with the tight black beater she was wearing, which then of course caused Spencer to admire the girl's nice tan rack. Ashley had successfully pulled the piece of paper she was retrieving from her pocket and began to chuckle as she saw that Spencer was under no circumstances retracting her eyes from her chest.
Ashley: "Spence, I know I'm hot, but I have something to show you."
Spencer: "Huh?"
Ashley: "Stop looking at my boobs babe."
Spencer began to, for the second time turn that bright shade of red.
Spencer: "Sorry."
Ashley: "Haha its fine. I look too." Chuckling at Spencer's agape mouth Ashley then began to open the paper in her hand as she talked. "Those three days kept me pretty busy and I wrote a lot of stupid shit, but this one is my favorite. It's still not the greatest, but it's my favorite so, here."
Ashley smoothed out the piece of paper as best as she could and handed it to Spencer with a worried smile on her face. She was afraid of the response that she was about to get but pushed that aside as Spencer began to read her scribbled writing.
"I am the red in the rose
The flowers on the blankets on your bedroom floor
And I am the grey in the ghost
That hides with your clothes
Behind your closet door
I am the green in the grass
That bends back from underneath your feet
And I am the blue
In your back alley view
Where the horizon and the rooftops meet
If you cut me I suppose I would bleed
The colors of the evening stars
You can go anywhere you wish
Cuz I'll be there wherever you are
I will always be your case
When we are lost in the technicolor phase
I am the black in the book
The letters on the pages that you memorize
And I am the orange in the overcast
A color that you visualize
I am the white in the walls
That soak up all the sound when you cannot sleep
And I am the peach
And the starfish on the beach
That wished the harbor wasn't quite so deep
If you cut me I suppose I would bleed
The colors of the evening stars
You can go anywhere you wish
Cuz I'll be there wherever you are"
Ashley had her head down the entire time Spencer read her feelings from the little black ink covering the page. Little, physically but very big figuratively speaking, as those words she confessed are telling Spencer that she'll always be with her, no matter where she is or where she goes, she will always be there, and that was a big step for someone who hadn't cared for many people in her 17 years of life, a huge commitment that she was willing to do and confess.
Ashley noticed that Spencer's eyes had left the paper and were now fixated on the side of her face, so she turned her head with obvious nervousness. Lip chewing, hands entangled strangling one another, as a vine would do. She had already proceeded in popping her fingers from the pulling and odd positions she was putting her fingers through. Yes, she was very nervous.
Ashley: "I know it's stupid, but it's just me saying that I'll be with you forever and always. So, yeah you can laugh at my lame attempt at satisfying you and getting my feelings out."
Spencer: "Ashley, there's nothing to laugh at."
The brunette turned her head as a smile spread across her face. Spencer matched her grin.
Ashley: "Really?"
Nodding Spencer responded saying, "Of course. It's really sweet Ash. I don't really know what to say. I feel really bad because you've done so much for me, with the writing songs and our date and just being the wonderful amazing girl that you are. And me well I haven't done anything."
Spencer lowered her head in disappointment but right when it was at the position to where you could tell Spencer was ashamed of herself, it was brought back up by Ashley.
Ashley: "Spence, how many times have I told you that I don't need anything but you? You don't need to do anything but be with me and I'll be the happiest girl on earth. Nothing could compare to how you make me feel and that feeling alone couldn't match up to any song, expensive gift, fancy date. You are all I need."
Spencer: "But.."
Ashley shook her head saying 'no' and Spencer sighed defeated. Ashley's mouth turned upright and her nose crinkled once again. Spencer reached her hand out and tapped her nose with her index finger.
Spencer: "I love it when you do that."
Ashley: "Do what?"
Spencer: "Crinkle your nose. It's adorable."
Ashley: "I'm not adorable, I'm hot."
Spencer: "You're both."
Ashley: "Ok."
Spencer: "I have you so whipped. You do know that right?"
Ashley: "Yeah but I loveeeee being whipped by you cuz you are oh so smexy when you're ordering me around." Ashley leaned forward, closer to Spencer and whispered, "Can I kiss you?"
Spencer: "I don't see anything wrong with that."
Ashley: "What about jerks and assholes?"
Spencer: "Just shut up and kiss me already."
Ashley nodded her head and brought her left hand up from the ground and placed it on Spencer's face while her right hand remained on the ground to support her. It seemed to Spencer that Ashley was moving in slow motion as her lips much to her dislike slowly approached her own. Spencer shut her eyes frustrated at the amount of valuable kissing time that was being wasted and forcefully grabbed the back of Ashley's neck finishing off the shortened trip to her lips. Ashley was surprised at the forcefulness of Spencer's action but quickly over came that surprisingly hot attack and went with it. Spencer was being the needy one right now because as soon as their lips met her tongue was released begging for entrance as she ran it along Ashley's moistened Spencerful lips. Ashley didn't quickly let the girl obtain her entrance card forcing her to continue to groan and trail her tongue side to side up and down along her barely moving lips. Spencer bit down on Ashley's bottom lip causing the brunette to yelp in both pain and pleasure.
Ashley: "Fuck Spence."
Spencer pulled back completely shocked and embarrassed by her actions as she brought her hand up to cover her agape mouth.
Spencer: "Oh my god! I am so sorry Ash. I didn't mean to. I am so.."
She was cut off my Ashley's hungry lips on her own and her body pushing her down onto the soft lush green grass, so now she lay with her back on the ground and her gorgeous girlfriend above her kissing her lips away.
Each girl was on a completely different universe and clearly no one mattered because they didn't hear the many cat calls, wolf whistles, nor the rude comments. They just continued their kissing.
Spencer shifted from below Ashley giving her the opportunity to get more acquainted and comfortable since she was leaning over her in a weird position. Spencer opened her legs where Ashley, without breaking the kiss quickly slipped in and the horny guys cheered even louder. Spencer's hand's found their way beneath Ashley's shirt and was softly massaging each of her sides, the cheers got even louder, but still they didn't hear. They were too lost in each other. They were too addicted, infatuated sand obsessed with the other's talented lips and tongue.
The moaning of themselves and the other and the smack of lips moving together was all they heard. The soft lips attached to their own, the warm grazing hands, the fluttering of their heart, the tingling throughout their body, the sensational fire burning throughout each of them, that's all they felt. They weren't on the grass beside a tree in the middle of the quad. They weren't surrounded by turned out shouting high school boys. No, they were in heaven, fluttering above all, atop a cloud and kissing. They were in a place where no one or nothing could make them come apart, cause trouble, pain, hurt, fear. They weren't in this world at this particular moment. Their fluttering hearts had flown each of them to a place where only the other mattered.
"Miss Davies, please get off of the young lady and stop with this horrid public display of affection."
Reality came twirling back to each of them, their hearts had stopped their wings and they were now falling back to the world we all live in.
Fuck. Ashley turned her head slowly to see a not so pleased woman whom she'd never seen before, looking at her.
"Come with me, both of you."
Ashley nodded her head and got off of a giggling Spencer and rose to her feet. She helped Spencer to her feet and grabbed each of their bags throwing them over her shoulder and grabbed Spencer's hand and began to follow the mystery woman's trail.
Both girls had amused grins on their face as they hovered through their peers. Guys were giving them thumbs up, undressing each of them with their eyes, groaning at the end of the show, highfiving each other, and grinning because clearly they were pleased by the hot girl on girl action.
"That was hot!"
"Do it again!"
"Have a threesome with me!"
Ashley laughed at the last comment and pumped her fist in the air as cheers began to bellow out. She shook her head as they entered the building and the cheers died down.
Spencer: "I can not believe I just put on a show in front of the whole school and oddly enough I feel amazing. It feels great to be rebellious and crazy and oh my god I need to do crazy things like this more often Ash."
Ashley: "Is my innocent Spencer going bad?"
Spencer: "You made me that way."
Ashley: "I did not."
Spencer nodded her head to the slightly shorter girl as they turned into the main office.
"Sit."
The woman motioned with her finger for each of the girl's to sit, like an owner would do to a dog. They were good puppies so they followed the order and sat in the two chairs the woman had pointed at.
The woman had walked off but Ashley shouted after her, "Do I get my treat now?"
Spencer nudged Ashley on the side and shook her head 'no'.
Ashley: "What? She treated us like dogs. I'm only asking."
Spencer: "Don't. We're already in trouble no need to make matters worse. Will we get into a lot of trouble though?"
Ashley: "I doubt you will. This is your first offense ever. Now me, who knows, I've done a lot of shit. Who the fuck is this bitch anyways, I've never seen her before. I've been in this office plenty of times to know who wonders along these hallowed halls."
Spencer: "Shut up." Spencer smiled at Ashley. "You are such a rebel."
Ashley shrugged her shoulders and Spencer rolled her eyes and slouched back in her chair when she heard the first bell ring.
Ashley: "Awesome we're missing first period. Sweet!"
"Miss Davies and blonde girl come on."
Ashley: "Blonde girl has a name, it's Spencer (mumbling) Fucking bitch."
Spencer giggled and shook her head as she rose to her feet and adjusted her skirt, her eyes popped out of her sockets as she turned to the now standing Ashley.
Spencer: "Ash, I was wearing a skirt and we were making out on the ground and people probably could have seen up it. Oh my god!"
Ashley laughed and between laughs replied, "Oh...my...god...That is wow."
Spencer: "It's not funny! They could have seen everything."
Ashley: "Are you not wearing underwear?"
Ashley raised her eyebrow as a smile spread across her face.
Spencer: "Of course I am!"
Ashley: "What? It was a simple question gosh."
Ashley innocently looked at Spencer as she tilted her head and began to batt her eyelashes.
"Miss Davies and Spencer get over here."
Ashley: "Jeez ok woman. Calm them orangutan titties."
Spencer laughed and pushed Ashley towards the woman who was holding the door open to her office. The two walked in and occupied the two surprisingly comfortable looking leather chairs that were in front of the woman's desk and now the woman who was looking at them with seriousness. Ashley couldn't help but grunt in amusement.
"Is there a problem Miss Davies?"
Ashley: "No problem, ma'am. Wait. Wait. Who the fuck are you? I've never seen you around."
"Watch your language and I am the new principal."
Ashley: "That's kind of stupid to take a job at the end of the school year."
"Dalding was fired and they needed someone new."
Ashley began to happy dance inside her head at the thought of Dalding gone. He was always an ass.
Spencer: "Why was he fired?"
"It seems he wasn't wonderful at keeping this school in order and there were many students acting out. Care to explain Miss Davies?"
Ashley: "Whoa whoa calm down now bitch tits. I had nothing to do with Balding being fired. I haven't been here for three days."
"The name is Mrs. Bays and I'm not blaming you but you are one of the many students not in control at this school Miss Davies."
Ashley: "Well Mrs. Gay seeing as you know nothing about me I'm just going to ignore that last comment and not make your life hell."
Mrs. Bays: "They warned me about you Ashley and they weren't wrong. This week alone you've beat up a student and got caught graphically displaying affection for Spencer over here."
Ashley: "Well that's just wonderful. So, what's the offense? Detention? Referral? Suspension? ISS? Give it to me and let us leave."
Mrs. Bays: "What's your last name Spencer?"
Spencer: "Carlin."
The new principal got up from her desk and walked over to a filing cabinet pulling out a small manila folder, and then a larger one right behind it. She set both the folders onto her desk and sat down, opening the smaller folder and began reading.
Never taking her eyes off the text in front of her Mrs. Bays monotonously spoke, "Great grades Miss Carlin."
Spencer: "Thanks."
Mrs. Bays: "Seeing as this is your first offense I'm going to let you go with nothing. So you can leave."
Spencer nodded her head and rose from her chair while looking at Ashley sympathetically. She mouthed "I'll see you later." as she approached the door.
Mrs. Bays: "Wait." Mrs. Bays looked up from the text and Spencer slowly turned around. "Are you Paula Carlin's daughter?"
Spencer cleared her throat and slowly nodded her head as she took her hand off the door knob.
Mrs. Bays: "I go to church with you then."
Ashley rolled her eyes. Oh great more bible thumpers. Yay! Call out the happy Ashley dancers.
Spencer: "That's awesome?"
Mrs. Bays: "Yeah. Hmm. How does your mother feel to have raised a gay daughter because she seems very religious?"
Spencer: "I ummm..."
Ashley: "I don't think that's any of your business."
Spencer smiled at Ashley silently wishing her a thank you and Ashley just nodded and turned her gaze back to the principal, glaring rather violently. I say violently because Ashley's eyes were holding daggers that were ready to be thrown.
Mrs. Bays: "Well I was just asking. I would have been very proud of Paula if she's fine with Spencer being with a girl, since she is a very religious woman."
Ashley dropped her daggers and softened her gaze appreciating the woman's obvious acceptance of them two together. At least she won't hold us being gay against us. Hope ran through Spencer at the mere thought of someone religious being accepting. Maybe my mom will eventually be ok.
Mrs. Bays: "I'm sorry for getting into your business Miss Carlin, I was just wondering."
Spencer: "It's fine."
Mrs. Bays: "You can go now. I'll see you at church."
Mrs. Bays smiled and Spencer nodded her head smiling back. She then turned her gazes to Ashley and smiled at her. Ashley smiled and waved, and then the blonde turned the knob and trudged out of the office. That was close.
Ashley took her gaze off of the now closed door and looked back at the principal who was now reading through the large folder.
Mrs. Bays: "Let's see Mrs. Davies your freshman year you got into three fights, cussed out your teachers numerous times, refused to give up your iPod and cell phone, spread shaving cream and silly string all over walls and lockers, thrown streamers throughout hallways, destroyed student's banners, destroyed school property, spray painted the building." Mrs. Bays looked up to a bored looking Ashley. "Should I go on?"
Ashley: "I think I know what I've done."
Mrs. Bays: "Very well, sophomore year than." She searched through papers and began to read aloud, "You go into two fights, cussed out three teachers, refused to give up your cell phone and iPod once each, fell asleep, refused to do your work, and that's it." She looked up curiously and let her curiosity get the best of her she asked, "Why?"
Ashley shifted in her seat. "Why what?"
Mrs. Bays: "It's just weird. You seemed to rebel your freshman year but typical things you'd do with your friends, happy things. But your sophomore year it seems like something happened."
Ashley: "Nothing did and it's none of your business. Now what are you going to give me?"
Mrs. Bays nodded her head noticing the now uncomfortable Ashley and closed the folder as she spoke, "AM or PM detention for next week."
Ashley nodded her head and began to rise from her seat as she said, "AM." She walked towards the door and grabbed the handle bowing her head she softly spoke, "A lot happened." She turned the knob and walked out of the office leaving the even more curious principal behind.
Ashley walked to the bathroom not caring about showing up to her first period because it was almost over. She put both of her hands onto the sink and bowed her head as thoughts of her horrible sophomore year came flooding back. She lost everything, her everything, Madison. The girl that had promised to be with her forever, she lost her that year. Ashley stood there letting all the memories of the past come flooding back.
A 14 year old Ashley was sitting on the ground against a tree waiting for the bell to ring. It was the first day of school, better yet the first day of high school and she knew no one. She had just switched schools in time for high school to start. Wonderful right?
So, a young Ashley sat alone, but this loneliness is something she was used to. She didn't have many friends at her last school and she was sure that she wouldn't have many here. Loneliness didn't bother her. It's what she liked and wanted. She found it easier to stay away from people because you won't get attached and better yet you won't get hurt.
Then her wanted loneliness was interrupted by a figure that was blocking the sun. Ashley slowly looked up meeting a beautiful Latina who's hazel eyes bore into her and warm her insides, stop her heart, and make her shiver. There was something about those eyes that caused Ashley to be speechless. She had no rude comment to throw at her; she had nothing but the dryness in her throat and the butterflies in her stomach. What this girl had done to her, she didn't know, but those hazel eyes were slowly but surely reeling her in to hopefully a better life.
"Hi I'm Madison Duarte."
Ashley just sat there staring at the beautiful Latina, whose hair was a shade lighter than her own, whose smile was big and beautiful, and whose eyes were just amazing.
Madison sat down next to Ashley and stared at her.
Madison: "Do you have a name?"
Ashley nodded her head.
Madison: "Well what is it silly?"
Ashley: "Ashley Davies."
Madison smiled and nodded her head. "So did you just move here because I haven't seen you around?"
Ashley: "Yeah."
Madison: "You don't talk much do you?"
Ashley: "Not really."
Madison: "It's ok. I talk too much so I guess we're perfect for each other."
The thought of her and Madison together made Ashley smile and nod her head and say 'Ok.'
That was the day that set her next year and a half. A happy year and a half, until it was all pulled out from under her, crushing her even more than before her dad died.
Ashley shook her head not ready to relive that year. She didn't think she was ready to relive that time of her life again and she didn't know if she would tell Spencer about it or not.
She took one last look at herself in the mirror and walked out of the bathroom as the bell rang.
I just won't say anything. It'll be better if she doesn't know, better for both of us.
Ashley then walked up to Spencer and smiled as big and believable as she could. She kissed her on the cheek and grabbed her hand like nothing was wrong.
