Approximately 4 hours later...
Ashley caught herself deep into the pools of myspace. Within the hours spent, not only she made a profile, she found 10 old friends, some from camp, middle school, even elementary.
She hadn't caugh herself until she suddently glanced at the time on her computer.
"12:30, damn." She spoke out loud. She turned away from the computer and walked towards Kyla's room, entering without even knocking. Ashley was completely sure of what she was doing: Myspace.
Ashley plopped down in Kyla's bed while Kyla still doesn't move her head from the computer. "What is it Ash?" "Help me. I think I'm getting addicted. I made an account." Kyla looks over at the naive girl and smiled. "Finally! Hey add me!! I'm trying to get up to 20,000 friends. I'm in a race with mswhore1293. Right now im at 16,000..." "Damn girl, looks like I came to the wrong person for help. 16,000?? I barely got 5. Well, counting that Tom guy. He added himself. So it's 4."
Kyla looked her confused. "4, hows that?" Ashley shrugged her shoulders and replied "old friends." Kyla made the 'OH' face and turned back to the computer. Ahley rolled her eyes and exited the room going back to hers and back to the mind warping website.
She looked around a couple more minutes and decorating her profile (thats after asking kyla online what to do) before her eyes started to get heavy. She clicked a few more times to get to her home page, looking to see if there was any more messages from her old friend. Then she noticed, looking over to the right, a person in the 'cool new people' section.
A blonde, with blue eyes, smiling into the camera the name showing "suSpence.r" Ashley stared at the picture a few more seconds before she actually clicked to look a the profile.
The song "A Ballad of Big Poppa and Diamond Girl" by Cobra Starship came on. Ashley have never heard of it, but she nodded her head to the beat, thinking to herself how good the girl's taste was.
Something about that picture. Either this girl was photogenic or very hot. Ashley looked at the comments. The very first one was a girl with the name Beckalicious saying "Spencer don't forget about friday, David's party. call me. 3"
"Hmm, her name is Spencer." Ashley chuckled when she realized what her screen name meant.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later...
Ash was still in Spencer's page. Reading all of her blogs, looking at all of her picture. She was thinking of how glad she was that there was no tracking of how long someone was on another person's page. Otherwise, she would be considered a stalker.
And then it happened... The online now signal popped up. Ashley smiled. Then she froze and wondered why she was getting excited about a person she never met before. What if she was a real bitch?
Ashley came up with alot of stuff, but only one thing made her less scared. The location... Columbus, Ohio. Well it's not like I'm gonna meet her anyway, she thought. So she clicked to the friend request and it asked 'Do you want to add suSpence.r as a friend?'
Ashley hesistated for a while before realizing she was being ridiculous and clicking 'add to friends'.
Since she knew this Spencer was online at that time, she waited a few minutes before the heaviness came back into her eyes and she logged out. She thought maybe she would check tomorrow to see if she accepted. Maybe she is slow on the computer. Some people are. Some people just aren't computer literate. Some people.. Ashley stopped noticing she was ranting on in her mind as she hopped in bed.

Spencer Carlin wasn't exactly a myspace whore. Yeah she had her simple 300+ friends. Most of them her friends from her school, some friends from back when she was a younger Spencer. Some people she met who were pretty cool. Since hearing about it from her friend Becky (another hopeless myspace whore) she decided to get on.
Spencer was simple, she had her close friends and her 2 brothers on her top 8. Plus Tom, of course. How else would she be invited to this wonderful universe of friend making?
Speaking of friend making. 'Yay new friend request.' she clicked to it and saw 5 people adding her. A picture of Cartman flipping the bird.
2.i am (not) ghost- An emo kid, she couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl 3.jazzzzmine-Spencer's friend from elementary in Ohio 4.longislandicetj- A girl with a bikini on.
5.ashleysmashley- a brunette smiling with a rock you shirt.
Spencer already knew who she would add and not. Emo kid and Bikini girl out. The rest she accepted within seconds. And these people were nice enough to add her, she thought she would leave them a comment. As soon as she commented them, she logged back out and went to sleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:40 a.m.
Ashley woke up after a night of tossing and turning. She was anxious to find out if that Spencer girl added her. She kept wondering what if. 'What if she was nice and sent me a message? What if I responded? What if, since I'm rich (thanks dad), I could fly her out to L.A. here and we could hang?
Then she knew she got to ahead of herself.
Ashley knew what she had to do. She got out of bed and looked at the computer. She figured since it was still on, she should have easy access and check as fast as she could. She was still in 'myspace addict' denial to herself. Thinking to herself that those hours spent were just from first timers.
As she logged in she noticed she had a new comment. The only comment she received since she joined the cult. To come to her surprise it was from Spencer.
"looks like I popped your comment cherry. thanks for adding me! hope you keep in touch. -suSpence.r"
Ashley smiled like she never smiled. She thought she would comment back, but not sure of what to say. She debated 10 minutes alone to not sound like a complete dork.
Finally she decided what to say.
"looks like you did. lol. of course, i'll keep in touch. no prob. :D"
After clicking post, she cursed herself for still sounding so dorky.
