Thank you again for all the support! Here's a longer chapter since a few of you have asked for one.

Flashback five years ago

Spencer's POV

"So how does it feel to finally be an upperclassman?" Ashley asked pushing me.

"You know, just because you're a year older doesn't mean you can tease me." I reply, pushing her back. "And to answer, fine I guess. How does it feel to be a senior?"

"Pretty damn good!" I laugh at her.

"Come on, pick an outfit and let's get to Aiden's, everyone is waiting for us."

"Fine." She picks up a low cut black shirt and ripped jeans and starts changing in front of me. I try not to watch but it's so hard. I can't help but check her out. She looks at me and smirks, knowing that I was watching her. After she finished getting dressed, she grabbed my hand and pulled me out of her house and out to her car.

Is it bad that I think I like my best friend? Like, "like like" her? Before her, I never checked girls out or thought about being with a girl. But when I'm around her, that's all I can think about. Her gorgeous brown eyes are hypnotizing and her lips are so perfect, I want to kiss them so badly. But I know she doesn't like me like that back. Hell, she probably wouldn't want to be anywhere near me if I even told her that I might like girls.

"Hey, you okay?" Ashley asks, squeezing my hand that she was holding. "You've been pretty quiet."

"Yeah, I'm fine, just tired."

She looks at me over the top of her sunglasses and I can tell she doesn't buy it, but thankfully she doesn't push it.

We arrive at Aiden's to find that Kyla, Madison, Glen, Clay, Sean, and Chelsea are already there. They all decide to go swimming but Ashley and I decide to stay inside and watch them through the window.

"Why don't you want to swim?" Ashley asked, sitting down next to me.

"I don't know, just didn't feel like it."

"Oh, well, you should have, you look good in a bikini." I stared at her as she smiled. "Come on; let's go ride the four wheeler."

I followed her outside to the quad and got on behind her. I desperately wanted to wrap my arms around her waste and hold her tight, but thought that that might freak her out, so I held on to the bars behind me.

She drove the quad like a maniac and when we almost hit a tree, I wrapped my arms around her out of instinct. She laughed and told me to drive. She sat behind me with her legs on either side of me, my legs, torturing me. She didn't wrap her arms around my waist and I was disappointed. All I could think of was how badly I wanted I wanted to pull off on the trail and kiss her. We went back to Aiden's and when it was time for me, Glen, and Clay to go, she gave me her nose crinkling smile and hugged me tight.

As soon as we left, I get a text message from Ashley. I miss you already.
