Chapter 3a

The first three songs passed like a whirlwind of colors for Spencer. For all of the songs she had danced very close to Aiden with Ashley dancing on her left. She couldn't understand it. Why does Ashley hate me so much? Suddenly she felt another body dancing against hers. She turned around to see a girl pushing against her. The next thing she knew this girl had wrapped her arms around Spencer's waist. Spencer tried to get loose but there were so many people around that she couldn't seem to do it. Then all of a sudden a strong force had pulled Spencer away from the strange girl. Spencer turned around to thank her saver then stopped short. It was… Ashley.

"What was that for?" Spencer said barely above a whisper.

"Well if you hadn't noticed you were grinding with a girl you were clearly freaked out by."

"Yea but why…" she stopped. She and Ashley were ridiculously close. Spencer looked around wildly for help only to see Aiden making out in a corner with the same girl that had intruded on Spencer's space. Ashley…she…smells really great. What? Did I just think that?

"Your welcome you ought to be more careful," Spencer felt Ashley's breath hit her ear and felt goose bumps crawl up her arms. In the next moment the feeling was gone as was Ashley.

What…what was that?

Spencer didn't know what to do. She headed towards her only option: the exit. The burst of cool fall air hit her as she stepped into the night. She was at a loss on how she was going to get back to her dorm.

"You need help miss?"

Spencer wheeled around only to see a handsome face of a man staring at her; she jumped.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you. I'm Dylan."

"Spen- Spencer. I didn't think anyone called anyone 'miss' anymore," she said regaining her composure.

"Haha yea well maybe I am a little old-fashioned but I still stick to my previous statement. Do you need help?"

"I could really use a ride to my dorm it's my first day here and I have no idea where I'm going."

"No problem which one's your building…?"

The ride home was surprisingly comfortable. Spencer felt at ease with Dylan. He was the perfect gentleman and seemed to know exactly what to say. After he dropped her off they exchanged phone numbers. Spencer went back up into her room and crashed completely missing the other person lying in the room.
