((Alrighty, mighty!! I love love love all the reviews! It just fills my heart to know that people are actually reading my story – whether they like it or not! Lol… hopefully, it's the "like it" part! Hahehe… anywho – here's some more! Enjoy!))

"Hey, Spence – are you going to eat that?" asks Aiden with pleading eyes.

Spencer sighs before handing over her half eaten bologna sandwich to an overly excited brown haired boy.

"Aiden, why don't you bring your own lunch and stop mooching off of ours?" says Ashley in a rather rude tone.

"Because… I'd rather mooch off you guys and seeing as how good you two take it – it just makes it all worth while." He smirks before taking a huge bite of his now owned sandwich and sips on his Dr. Pepper.

"Anyway," says Aiden "have you guys seen that new chick?"

Spencer narrows her eyes and lowers her eyebrows.

"No, I haven't. What's her name?"

"Umm… it's something weird, like Torance or Trinity or…"

He was suddenly interrupted by an annoyed Ashley Davies.

"It's Tristin, you imbecile!" she shakes her head at her own statement.

"Jeeze, Ash – what's your problem? And how do you even know her?"

Without thinking, she turns to Aiden and abruptly gives him the finger. After rolling her eyes a couple of times, she reports:

"Well, I only know her because she's in my History class. Her assigned seat was… wait for it – right behind me!!" she says with much sarcasm in her voice.

Spencer giggles at Ashley's remark while Aiden just keeps on looking at the brunette.

"So – do you think you can get me the hook-up?"

Both the girls rolls their eyes in unison before getting up and leaving Aiden to wallow in his own world; alone at the table.

The next period of school went by so quickly, that the students at King High hardly even got to catch their breath. All the while, Spencer and Ashley didn't think it went by fast enough. Every second apart from each other was just about as long as a year. Without each other – they weren't "them". Their friendship was like a CD player – Ashley was the player itself and Spencer was the earphones… without each other – the device is useless.

After their classes, Spencer meets up with Ashley at her locker and they exchange meaningful glances, before heading on down the hall.

"So – I finally met that new girl you and Aiden were talking about." Spencer says.

"Oh really? How and when?"

"I had to use the bathroom during Mr. Clark's class and while I was in there, she must've come in or something." Spencer tries to make this sound convincing, but Ashley knew very well that there was more to her story than what she was giving.

"Hmm… interesting. Anything else happen while you two were relieving yourselves?"

"Umm…"

"Spence… tell me the truth." says Ashley with sternness in her voice.

"Well – okay. That's not all that happened."

Spencer paused for a brief second; making Ashley want to know more of what Spencer's story was.

"And?"

"And well… she asked about you."

"Me?" Ashley wasn't sure whether to be confused, upset or just plain old flattered. "Why me?"

"I don't know – that's what I asked her. And she just said that she saw you in class and thought you looked 'interesting'."

"And what'd you say?" asked Ashley; hoping Spencer might've said something that would've given off the clue that she was involved with her.

"I just told her that you were extremely interesting. And then she asked me what you were interested in and I said…"

She was interrupted suddenly by Ashley who had taken it upon herself to lay down some lines.

"You mean to tell me that you didn't tell her that we were involved with each other…"

"Ash…"

"Not to mention most of the stuff we did last night and now you're sitting there letting it slide over some new girl?"

"Ashley…"

"Come on, Spencer – I thought I meant more to you…"

"Ashley!!" Spencer couldn't take the pressure of Ashley's words and how she wouldn't even let her finish her own sentence.

Ashley and Spencer both take in a deep breath before Ashley allows Spencer to speak for herself.

"What, Spencer?"

"Jeeze – you are way too hard on yourself sometimes. Anyway – you should've let me finish what I was saying before you rudely interrupted me."

"And that would be?"

"When she asked me what you were interested in… I told her 'me'." Spencer shyly looks down to the ground before looking back up at the radiant brunette; who was giving her the biggest smile known to man (or woman).

"Really?" she says while still grinning.

"Of course! I – I…"

Ashley tries hard to make out what Spencer is trying to say, but – she is having a rough time.

"You what, Spence?"

Spencer makes eye contact for a brief second before converting her eyes back to her hands.

"Nothing… let's just go."

Ashley sees how overwhelmed Spencer has become and decides to let that subject slide. While keeping a mental note of Spencer's behavior, Ashley says in her head:

"I love you too, Spencer."

As they're making their way to Ashley's Porsche, the brunette is suddenly taken over by the feeling of being watched.

"Spence…" she says in a low whisper.

"What?"

"Turn around and see if anyone's following us or watching us."

Spencer does as she's told, but finds the solution of nothing or no one.

"There's no one following us or watching us, Ashley. I think you're just paranoid."

"No, Spencer – I know that I heard someone." She gives Spencer a slight head tilt, "And I'm not paranoid."

Spencer just shakes her from side-to-side before pressing on with their walk.

But from behind the cafeteria double doors, strays an unsuspecting viewer.
