So I would say I had a pretty damn good birthday. Ashley gave me a ring to show her commitment and a list of 100 reasons why she loves me. She told me to put it in my room and to look at it whenever I want. I love that girl more than anything. Today we have school, unfortunately. It's some career day thing. I'm so tired of people always trying to get us prepared for our future.

"Ugh I so don't want to do this," Ashley says pulling into the parking lot of our school.

"I know. Neither do I, but at least we only have this thing one time."

"Yeah but why couldn't they do it during our freshman year or something? Not our senior one…"

"Let's just get this over with and then we can go do something else,"

"I can think of something I want to do," Ashley says wiggling her eyebrows

"Perv," I say walking past her. I can hear her laughing behind me and I crack a smile. She may be a horn dog, but she's my horn dog.

"Hey Spencer!" I turn around to see Chelsea walking up to me.

"Hey Chelse what's going on?"

"Nothing really I'm just so excited for this career fair! There's an artist who I'm going to go talk to."

"You really like art don't you?"

"Yeah I love it. I could see me doing it for the rest of my life. What about you Spencer?"

"I don't really know. I've never actually wanted to be anything. It seems like everyone else knows what they want to do with their life except for me"

"Well what does Ashley want to do?"

"Honestly, I don't know. We've never talked about it before."

"Not to rush you or anything Spencer…..but have you applied to college yet?"

"Yeah I have but I don't get my acceptance letters for another two days."

"Well where did you apply?"

"Um, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Boston College, and Stanford."

"Wow Spence those are really good schools. And only one of them is in California."

"I know, but who knows what will happen by graduation."

"Graduation is in 1 month Spencer."

"I know."

"Where has Ashley applied?"

"I'm not sure. I'll ask her later. See you later Chelsea. Have fun talking to the artist."

"Bye girl"

I walked over to Ashley who was talking to Aiden.

"Hey guys"

"Hey Spencer. So who are you going to be talking to at the fair?" Aiden asked

"Not sure yet. What about you?"

"Well I'm going to be talking to the coach of the Spurs. I'm really excited."

"That's awesome! What about you Ash?"

"I don't know. I was thinking about maybe that doctor over there" she says pointing to a girl in a lab coat.

"You want to be a doctor?" She shrugged

"Hey guys I'm going to go talk to that guy now so I'll see you later" Aiden said walking away

"Hey Ashley what colleges did you apply to?"

"Well only about 3. But I applied to UNC, USC, and Stanford."

"You applied to Stanford?"

"Yeah. I know I may not seem that smart but I have a 4.0 GPA."

"You do? Wow I had no idea!"

"Yeah a lot of people wouldn't think I'm very smart" she says laughing

"I do" I say getting closer to her

"I'm glad someone does" she says quietly. She leans in to kiss me softly.

"Hey get a room!" We pull back laughing as we hear Kyla yell to us from a few yards away.

"Hey Ky" Ashley says. Kyla walks up to us.

"Hey girls. They have a stage actress here isn't that awesome!"

"Yeah it's great Kyla. Have you talked to her yet?"

"No not yet. But, what about you Spence? Who are you going to talk to?" Okay what is with everyone asking me that?

"I'm not sure yet. But I think I'm going to go look in a few minutes."

"Okay have fun" and with that Kyla walks off.

"Spencer" I turn my attention to Ashley. "Baby what's wrong?" She asks stroking my cheek. I sigh.

"Everyone knows who they want to talk to and what they want to do except for me. Ashley what if I have no future?"

"Hey don't say that." She pulls me in and holds me close to her. "You do have a future Spence. You just haven't found it yet."

"I hope you're right"

"Don't worry about it. Let's go talk to some people."

"No you go ahead. I'll meet up with you later."

"Alright." She kisses my cheek and walks off.

I walk over to the circle of tables and just look around. There's all kinds of people here. There's doctors, engineers, actors, sports stars, and so many others. I walker over to a table that said "The few. The strong. The proud." I guess it's for the army.

"Hi I'm Sergeant Duvall." He said saluting me.

"I'm Spencer."

"So Spencer, you're interested in joining the army?"

"I'm actually not sure what I want to do with my life right now."

"Well if you join the army you can get money for college."

"Really? I didn't know that."

"Spencer!" I turn to see Ashley calling me from across the quad.

"I have to go"

"Well here, take a brochure to look at. There's a number on there you can call if you're really interested in doing this."

"Thank you" I say walking over to Ashley. I slipped the brochure in my pocket. I couldn't let Ashley know I was actually considering joining the army.

"Hey Ash," I say walking over to her

"Hey who did you talk to?"

"Oh you know….just random people."

"Oh okay. Well I talked to this doctor and it sounds like she has a really cool job. I'm actually kind of interested in it."

"That's great Ash!" I hug her and put a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Ready to go back to my house?" I nod and we leave. When we get back we go up to her room.

"Hey Ash I'm going to take a shower is that okay?"

"Yeah sure." I strip right in front of her just to tease her and sure enough she can't stop staring. I throw my clothes at her and walk into the bathroom.

When I come out fully dressed she's standing there looking really mad.

"What's wrong Ashley?"

"This," she says holding up the brochure.

Uh oh.

A/N-Thanks for pointing out some of the mistakes I made last chapter
