Spencer's POV
I swear I felt like slapping her, who does she think she is anyway, just because she's considered as the queen bee it doesn't mean she could go around and embarrass every one, well, namely me. But she had to admit, she was gorgeous, even for a player, and her eyes were what caught her attention, they were a nice shade of hazel brown. Spencer stop it! You know girls like her are just players, and besides she would never be interested In me, no one would. I mean I'm a nerd, who'd want to go out with someone like me. I shook my head, I wish someone would like me, but I know that that's never going to happen…..at least not now when I look like this. Thing is I try to change, but I don't know how. I don't want to attempt something then end up looking like a freak.
"Hey nerd, penny for your thoughts, looks like your thinking about something, is it me?" I scrunched my eyebrows, great what does she want, ever since the first day we've met she's been bothering me, why can't she find someone else to bother instead of me. "Look I'm so not in the mood for you to bother me today okay, not go and bug someone else before I literally snap…and trust me that's not something you'd want to see, even though you are the queen bee in this school, now if you'll excuse me, I need to go…and when I mean go, I mean away from you, so bye bye." I skirted around but before I could go anywhere, I felt a vice like grip on my wrist, they only softened when they around and stared at her hand. She immediately let go and shuffled on her feet, looking…nervous? Okay, is it me or does the queen be look really nervous, well this is something new, something new indeed. "Got something to say Ashley?"
"Nope why would there be, just wanted to see how you were doing and besides, nothing's ever wrong, at least not in the life of Ashley Davies anyway." I snorted, she's sounds so cocky when she wants to be, and it really gets to me. "You're so sure of yourself aren't you?" She nodded and I rolled my eyes, turning around again, but she side stepped me and went in front of my path blocking the way. "Now what, like I said I'm not in the mood for one of your stupid games, so can you please just move before I do something I might regret". She scratched the back of her head and was fidgeting with her fingers. "Look I know we got of to a bad start, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry okay, I know I may come of as rude and mean most of the time, but there's a reason for that….nobody's ever stood up to me before like you have and I guess I just admire someone with your sort of courage. Kyla's probably told you about my past…..but I want to change, I just don't know how too." I looked at her and my eyes immediately softened at what she just said, well now that changes everything. I wander why she's telling me all this though, surely she can tell one of her "popular friends". It's weird that the supposed queen bee of the school has a soft side to her; hmm wander if anyone else knows this. "Oh…. I never knew that…..but why are you telling me all this anyway?"
"Well well, if it isn't the queen of nerds herself, get of our territory nerd, this is the popular side incase you haven't noticed." I gritted my teeth, seriously, what is it with everyone taking the micky out of me today, do I have tease Spencer say stamped to my forehead or something. "Josh, leave her alone she's not doing anything…just back off." Everyone stared at her; heck I even stared at her, was she sticking up to me all of a sudden? "Ashley, why you sticking up for her, she's a nerd, a freak, I mean look at what she wears, no wander she's a virgin, she's can't even dress decent." I looked down, I felt a little hurt by that comment, seeing how it's true, like I said, I don't know how to change, I don't know anything about make up or dressing nicely. I've tried, but nothing seems to work. "I said leave her alone, the reason being I'm asking for her help in English, and you pestering her will only end up with her declining, now go!" Woah, I've never heard her yell so loud in my life. "Geez calm down, didn't know that, why you getting so worked up anyway?" They walked off and I was left standing there with my arms full of books and my glasses beginning to slip of my nose. Ashley walked up to me and tipped it back up with the tip of her fingers and smiled, wow she's got a great smile, okay there I go again, I keep complimenting her, I really need to stop. "You okay"?
"Uh yeah, thanks, but why did you stick up for me?"
"Look I told you I wanted to change didn't I, and that's what I'm trying to do, but I don't want a lot of people to know that just yet." Before I could answer Kyla came bounding over. "Hey I heard yelling down here, is everything okay, are you alright Spencer?" I looked over at Kyla with a smile on my face for the first time today. "Yeah, actually I am now, your sister kind of stood up for me when the football jocks were bothering me." Kyla looked my way and raised an eyebrow, I looked away for a second. Knowing her, she's probably gloat and say I told you so If I told her why. "You did, why?" I rolled my eyes at her comment and crossed my arms, she knows damn well why, she's the one who told me I need to change, so here I am, trying. "You know damn well why Kyla, now lets go before I change my mind!" She bounded off and Kyla chuckled. "Oh hey Spence, so you want a ride home, it'll take too long if you walked." Me and Kyla looked at her and I smiled, well I'm starting to like this new Ashley. "Yeah sure" Kyla led the way to her car and when I saw it, my eyes widened and my mouth hung open. Ashley and Kyla chuckled and shook there heads. "Wow, is this….is this really your car, I mean….wow! It's like a porshe, one of my dream cars!"
"Yeah, this is her car, well her baby as she calls it, don't know why, it's just a car"
"Hey! Don't talk about my baby like that, now come on lets go already I wanna taka a nap when we get home." My eyes snapped up back to her and I got into the back seat of the car, Kyla going in front. Even the leather seats feel good, and might I say cosy. The ride back home was spent with us having conversation and joking around, it was fun getting to know this side of Ashley. When I got home, I thanked them both and walked to the front door of my house. I turned around to see that she hadn't left yet. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion, and then realized that she was only making sure I got home safely. I blushed at the thought, maybe she was just being friendly, but still, it was nice of her to wait. I waved goodbye, and went inside the house, and when I did I heard the roar of her car speeding away into the distance. "Hey baby sis!" No way, it couldn't be, is Glen really home? A looming figure emerged from the kitchen and he opened his arms beckoning me to hug him. I squealed and dropped my bags, running to him my arms going round his neck. "Oh my god, your home, are you here to visit, how long are you staying for?"
"Slow down with the questions Spence, and yes I have come to visit for two weeks." I stepped out of the hug and he took a good look of my face. When he saw my slightly red cheeks he crossed his arms and smirked. "What's with the blush Spence, you like someone?" I blushed a bright red again and I heard him chuckle, well that's at first, who is she?" I bit my lip, I didn't have a crush on Ashley did I? Oh my god, I do! Ahhh, I need help, I've never had a crush on anybody. "By the silence I'm guessing that's a yes, now tell me, I want to know everything, and don't leave anything out. Did I mention my brother is the best brother ever, he always knows when I'm upset and angry, heck he was the first one to realize that I was gay. He's the best brother anyone could ever ask for. "I uh….i-i-its this girl in my school called Ashley Davies….i-i-don't really know how it happened I mean she's usually mean to me and keeps teasing me, but today she stood up for me from a bunch of jocks, and I don't know…..this is new to me Glen, I've never had a crush on anybody, you know me, I'm a nerd!"
"Aww, our baby girl has a crush!" Oh no, please tell me my parents did not just over hear what I just said, this is so embarrassing, I covered my face and I heard them all laugh, finding it all too funny. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that my parents knew I was gay too, I remembered the first time I told them. They ended up telling me they already knew and I fainted. I was nervous with coming out to them and they told me they already knew? I mean why didn't they just say so, could've saved me all the trouble. When I woke up I was on the sofa with an ice pack on my head, and they all smiled at me and said that they didn't care what my sexuality was, I was still there little girl no matter what, yeah I know, some parents right? I mean usually you'd get the parents freaking out and maybe even yelling at you, but not my parents, and for that I was grateful, I don't think I could deal with it if my parents found out and hated me.
"Uh, hey mum, dad….." I was pulled into a hug by both of them and Glen just stood there, watching the whole interaction and not doing anything, I glared at him and he shook his head before he pulled me away from them. "Mum dad, give her some breathing space will ya!" Thank god, Glen to the rescue!
We all sat down in the dining table having dinner, it was great to have Glen home, and I missed him ever since he left for University. Felt lonely to be around the house sometimes. But knowing my brother Glen he did get a little over protective and questioned me about the Jocks that were bothering me today. I told him not to worry and said that they were only teasing me, but still….he got a little edgy, he didn't like anyone bothering me, especially boys…..namely boys like the jocks at school. "Spence I'm gonna drop you off to school in the morning okay? I wanna make sure your okay" I shook my head and declined his offer, but he insisted. Don't get me wrong, it was great to have a brother like Glen, but when he's on his big brother protective mode it kind of gets annoying sometimes because he wouldn't let me out of his sight. And knowing him he'd probably stick around school till the bell rang.
Next day at the drop of….
"Glen seriously, I'm fine you don't have to stick around, I could handle myself"
"Spence I'm not gonna let those jocks bother you okay, I'm your big brother, I'm meant to look out for you, and besides I want to see this Ashley chick to and make sure she's alright for my baby sis." I rolled my eyes and got out of the car. I heard the jocks park into the parking space almost running me over, but luckily I moved out of the way on time, they all laughed and got out of the car. Oh great, it's the guy from yesterday. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from this area?" I shook my head and glared at him crossing my arms. "You don't tell me what to do, and as I recall this is everyone's parking lot, not just pig headed guys like yourself" I turned round and everyone of his friends snickered. He turned me around. "No one talks to me like that, bitch" He pushed me and I fell to the ground. Before I Knew it Ashley was there, and she slapped him twice in the face helping me up. I saw Glen on the other side of the parking lot, already making his way over, with his clenched fists and bulging glaring eyes.
"Hey! Don't you ever do that to my baby sister again!" He pulled the guy up and tossed him against his car. I've never seen him so angry in my life. The guy stood back, then got into Glen's face. "What you gonna do about it?" Glen snapped and was about to punch him, but I pulled his arm back and told him he wasn't worth it. The security guard came over sensing trouble and asked us what was wrong. "This student pushed my sister, I was only defending her"
"Awww, big brother to the rescue? How pathetic, couldn't even stick up for yourself."
"Josh shut up! Didn't I tell you to leave her alone, to go before I me and Spence's brother beats you up ourselves."
"Fuck of, you don't tell me what to do Ash, as far as I'm concerned you're a bitch anyway, you and your whole family are pathetic…..even your dad was!" Ashley punched him in the face and the guard pulled her off, immediately calling the principle of the school on his mobile…..
(oooohhh, Ashley's in trouble! What do you think's gonna happen next, please review and comment!)
