The weekend finally ends. Ashley couldn't take anymore torture from Spinner or anyone. But now she has to face everyone at school. Jimmy Paige Spinner. It was all adding up to her horrible life. Ash got her stuff and she was ready for school. "Mom, I'll see you after school! Toby leave already?" Ashley asks. Kate shakes her head. Suddenly Toby comes out of nowhere with his backpack and peice of toast. "You're kidding right?" Ash asks. Kate laughs a little. "So you two later. Have a good day," Jeff calls. Ashley walks out the door without Toby but Toby soon catches up. "Sorry I have to ruin your life. Well even though with all that make-up you don't look alive" "Listen, Tard-ob-y, I am so close to hurting you that it's not even funny. I've had a bad weekend and I don't need your annoying comments okay?" Ashley snaps. Toby shrugs and walks right past her. --- They both arrive at school and Ash heads straight to her locker. She hides her face in the door hoping no one notices her. "Ms. Kerwin, I'm sorry I need to expell you for being so darn cute," Jimmy says while leaning against the lockers. Ash looks at him and smiles. "Hm, all I get is a smile, that's not like my fashion queen," Jimmy leans in to kiss her but Ashley pulls away annoyed. "I'm not your fashion queen anymore Jimmy! I'm not a prep and I sure as hell ain't popular so just get over it alright?" Ashley snarls. Ashley stomps away to go find Terri. Jimmy left with questions swarming his head. "Terri," Ashley sobs. Terri looks at Ashley who has tears streaming from her face. "Oh no Ash. What's wrong." Terri asks. "Jimmy hates me Paige controls me and-" "And what?" Ashley sniffles a little. "I kissed Spinner" Ash sobs into Terri's arms. "You what? Wait, when did this all take place?" "Friday, the day of Paige's pary. We met up to talk about my feelings and we ended up knowing Spinner liked me too, but then we both kissed eachother and blamed it on me," Ashley cryed. "Ash, it'll be okay. I promise" "It wont Ter it wont! Jimmy will find out I know it" "Find out what?" Jimmy said. Ashley turned around to see Jimmy smiling but as soon as he saw her face he wasn't smiling anymore. He quickly dropped all he had in his hands and came to Ashley's rescue. "Ash what's-" Before he could ask Ash fell in his arms and cried louder and harder. He held her close and stroked her hair. He looked at Terri who watched. Jimmy picked Ash's head up from his shoulder. "What's wrong," Jimmy said with hise voice sounding shakey. "I-I just want to let you know, we can't see each other anymore," Ashley said walking away slowly. "What? Ash look we can work this out if you tell me what is wrong," Jimmy says. Ashley covers her mouth and shakes her head 'no'. All Jimmy can do is look at her sad face and watch her walk, walk away from his love and effort. ------ LATER AT LUNCH ------- Ashley sits at the table with no food and not a word spoken. Paige walks to the table and sits down. "Alright, let me be honest, you look horrible. Hun, what happened. Did Jimmy dump you or something?" Paige asked. Ashley looked up at Paige. "I dumped him," she said quietly. Paige raised her hand up beside her chin. "Wait rewind! You dumped Jimmy, for what? Jimmy is a nice guy Ash, what did he do to you? Please do not tell me you broke up with him for Spinner. right?" Paige announced. Ash didn't move didn't say a word didn't do much of anything but stare at the empty table. Suddenly Spinner sat next to Ashley and her eyes flew to his. "We need to talk," Spinner said. Paige walked away from the table as quick as possible. "What happened Friday night was-" "A mistake a nightmare a living-" "Ash stop please, I'm sorry for blaming you for that kiss. It was me too" "The kiss wasn't all Spin, you left me there making me feel helpless you ignored me like all you wanted was a kiss and you don't know how that feels! Spinner if you really like me don't hurt me like that", Ashley admits. "Well Ash I do, I like you. I didn't realize it until you said you liked me. Ash but that doesn't matter" "And why not?" "Because Jimmy likes you and I can't do that to him"

"I know. I don't want to hurt him either. I just wanted you to admit you were wrong" Spinner nods. "I was wrong. Friends from now on, no more surprise kisses okay?" Spinner laughs. "Okay. But we should tell Jimmy" "Some things are left alone that would crush him. I know it feels right but it will never happen again so lets leave the heartache alone okay?

"Okay" ----- Spinner walks away and for once, Ash has a smile on her face -------
