There's gonna be a lot of skipping around in this chapter. The moving to LA part is so boring to write, I wanna get to the good stuff, so please mind all the one month later, on week later, etc. This chapter's extra long because I feel so inspired. :P I had to steal the twin joke from tegan and sara. Sorry:D
The italics are Spencer's thoughts.
Spencer's POV.
I was in complete shock. I had no clue that this was coming. All the time we were together, we were always so happy. I was sure that Taylor was having fun too. I thought the main reason why she wanted to break up with me was because of my moving to LA next month and that she didn't want to be stuck in a long term relationship. I'm not sad, mad, or depressed. I don't feel anything. I guess she didn't mean that much to me…
One Month Later…
"Get up Carlin. It's time for you to get up and pack your stuff. And there's no way I'm helping you clean your shit."
UGH. Did I even ASK you to help me, Glen?
"SPENCER CARLIN! PLEASE GET UP!"
Like mother, like son. Why are they always yelling at me…
Spencer headed to get an empty cardboard box.
I guess I should start packing. I'll start with my CD collection.
Spencer sat down on the cold, hardwood floor and started reading out loud.
Death Cab, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tegan and Sara, Tilly and the Wall, Saves the Day, Regina Spektor, Say Anything, The Format, Garbage, Radiohead, White Stripes, Dashboard Confessional. Yup, all my favorites are here. Now I have to start on the others.
Spencer cautiously started stacking the CD's one by one inside the box.
T-Pain?! How the hell did that get in here? I thought I had a lot more CD's than this…
Oh. Glen was probably trying to impress the hot indie chick he was dating by taking my CDs and leaving his in my room.
"SPENCER?! ARE YOU DONE YET? WE¡¯RE GOING TO LEAVE!"
Gees. With you yelling at me like that, I would have never finished.
Spencer's dad came up to her room to help her carry the boxes.
"Hey sport, are you ready?"
Spencer nodded her head. After loading all the boxes to the moving truck, Spencer made her way to the car.
"Goodbye Ohio, Hello LA!"
First Day of School…
Spencer walked into the office of King High. Hot, humid, and messy.
A petite brunette stood up and extended her arm to Spencer.
"You must be Spencer Carlin!"
"Yes I am. You?"
"The one and only Ashley Davies. I'm the one who's supposed to show you this place. You have the same schedule as me. Your lucky enough to see me every single period!"
Spencer chuckled. "I feel so special."
"You better!"
Ashley took a glimpse at her watch. It read 1:45.
"Now it's lunch."
The brunette led Spencer the way to the cafeteria. Only seconds later a herd of people started stampeding into the lunchroom.
Ashley reached for Spencer's hand, "Just so you won't get lost." She gave the blonde a shy smile, " People keep pouring in and you might get smooshed to death. The cafeteria is a real scary place y'know."
"I'll keep that in mind."
Ashley pointed to a table all the way in the back.
"Here, come sit at my table."
Ashley's table had four kids sitting in it. They all looked the same. All of their clothes came from Urban Outfitters, and their shoes consisted of slip-ons, hi-tops, and Dunks.
This is definitely my crowd.
Ashley introduced me to all of them. Hailey, Jamie, Cole, and Jess.
Hailey looked almost identical to Ashley. The only thing I could tell them apart was Hailey's strip of green hair. Ashley suddenly draped her arms around Hailey's waist.
"I just found out that touching you is like touching me. So this is what it's like to touch me."
Hailey looked at her like she was crazy.
Jamie chimed in. "Damn girl. What the hell are you talking about again?!"
Spencer couldn't help but laugh at Ashley's weirdness. At the same time, Hailey took a look at Spencer's shirt. It was a red shirt that kept repeating the letters TRQ and SKQ. Hailey smiled.
"Spencer, I take it that you're a big Tegan and Sara fan?"
"Hell yeah! They're insane. I'm counting down the days until The Con comes out!"
"Well I've got an extra ticket to see them in July. Wanna come with?"
"Are you kidding me?! I so love you right now."
"I have that effect on people."
As soon as Hailey said that, Ashley stuck a finger and started to gag. Hailey playfully shoved Ashley into Jess.
"Just kidding!"
The bell to go to 7th period rang.
Ashley linked arms with Jess and Spencer. She explained to Spencer that All three of them have the same class.
20 minutes went into the class.
Since when was Science this boring?
The blonde looked next to her. Jess was fishing for gum in her bag and Ashley was taking her shoelaces out and tying them over and over again.
That girl has to be the cutest thing in the world.
Ashley felt someone eyeing her and turned to that it was Spencer. She ripped out a piece of notebook paper and started writing. She folded it a couple of times and threw it to Spencer.
"I'm bored. Let's play tic tac toe!"
Spencer got a pen out and wrote:
"Fine but I get to be the X."
Ashley had a smirk on her face.
"NO. I'M THE X!"
"no. I am."
"NO I AM!"
"no I am!"
All of a sudden the note was snatched by the science teacher, Mr. Martin.
"Ladies. I think learning about Einstein's theory of relativity is a lot more important than arguing bout who's going to be the X in a game of tic tac toe."
The class laughed while Spncer slid down her seat and Ashley looked out the window.
Mr. Martin got back to his speech about Einstein. Ashley got a fresh pice of paper out again.
"AIM: fruitloopx07 yours?"
"tagyourit"
Spencer looked up and saw the teacher blabbing about summer school.
"Remember class, just like albert you can to-"
The bell rang and everyone rushed out before he could finish his sentence.
Jess was the first one out.
"Thank god the bell rang. If I hear Martin rambling about some dead dude anymore, my head would've popped open."
Ashley came up to Spencer.
"Hey Spence. You got a ride?"
"Yeah, my mom's picking me up."
Hailey joined the conversation. "Ooooh! A mama's girl. That's hot."
Spencer laughed. "Well it looks like my ride's here. Bye guys!"
"Bye Spencer!" The five of them said in unison, they waved their hands back and forth.
'Hi mom."
"Looks like you made quite a few friends on your first day, Spencer. Good for you."
"Yeah. They're really nice and fun."
"They look like good kids."
The two drove into a neighborhood filled with identical houses. Spencer questioned, "How can you tell which house is ours?"
"The house number."
"Oh right. I knew that."
Paula grinned. She pulled into the driveway and turned to Spencer. "Well, I have to head out to the hospiatal and Dad, Clay, and Glen aren't going to come until nine. You think you can handle being in a house all by yourself?"
"Yes, Mother. I'm not ten anymore."
"Just making sure. Be careful."
Spencer made her way to the house. She fixed herself a bowl of cereal which just so happened to be fruit loops.
What a coincidence. What's this girl doing to me…
Spencer made her way to the dinig table and perused through the pile of letters.
Bills, Bills, Coupons, something weird, oooh! My magazines came today!
After killing time reading SPIN and Nylon, Spencer logged onto her computer and went on AIM.
Fruitloopx07: hey Spence!
Tagyourit: hi Ashley!
Fruitloopx07: Do you have any plans tomorrow?
Tagyourit: Nope. Why? You wanna do something together?
Fruitloopx07: Well since your already asking me I guess I can't say no, can I?
Tagyourit Haha. I guess not.
Fruitloopx07: So it's a date?
Tagyourit: Sure.
Fruitloopx07: Whoo! A date with my hunny Spencer!
Tagyourit: Come on, now. Don't get TOO excited!
Fruitloopx07: How can I not? Brb. I gotta go tell the whole world!
Tagyourit:
Fruitloopx07: Auto response: Did I mention that I scored a date with Spencer?!
Spencer smile uncontrollably and felt herself getting red.
I feel weird turning red in front of my computer screen. What if mom came in and that that I was—
Woosh! Spencer's door flew open
"Spencer! I'm hoooooome!"
Oh great.
Pauka saw Spencer fumbling with the computer mouse. She thought to herself, "Hmmmm. That's weird. Her face looks so red and flushed. What could she be doing in front of the computer all those—"
As Spencer reached for the water bottle on her desk Paula's thoughts came to a conclusion.
"SPENCER ARE YOU WATCHING PORN?!"
Spencer choked on the water she was sipping on.
(And yes you can actually choke on water.)
