The trip to Pizza Hut was definitely interesting. It seemed a bit odd to me to have a celebration for hiring of a new cheerleader but I guess this was partly for me as well. While we were sitting at our table, Jonica spoke up.
"So did anyone see Real Housewives of Kansas last night?" She asked.
"There's a Real Housewives of Kansas now?" I asked. What could possibly be interesting about Kansas? I also always thought that those Real Housewives shows were always complete trash, utter garbage and a complete waste of a primetime TV slot. Yes they suck too.
"Yeah it was really boring." Jonica added. "I don't know what they were thinking."
"I don't know what they were thinking when they made the first one." Spencer replied. "I mean it's one thing to see a character act like that but when a real person acts like that it's a pretty big turnoff."
"So what do you like to watch then, Spencer?" I asked.
"I like more of the teen and comedy stuff." Spencer answered. "You know: Gossip Girl, The OC, Hannah Montana, and Glee. That kind of stuff. Now it's my turn to ask you what you watch. Why don't you enlighten us on the world according to Ashley?"
"Let's see I watch a lot of HBO and Showtime since I don't really like network TV. I've never really liked the FCC messing with shows. I mean I think True Blood is just more real than something like Vampire Diaries."
"Yeah but you have to admit that Vampire Diaries has better characters and I kind of like the fact that Elena doesn't just throw herself at her vampire whoever it is. And she doesn't let them drink her blood whenever they want to." Spencer rebutted. "And the stories also aren't as good."
"All I know is I prefer Twilight to both of them." Kelly interjected.
"I don't understand the fascination between girls and vampires." Aiden remarked.
"Well if you were a vampire maybe you would understand." Sasha said before she started to suck on his neck. I can't say that wasn't disgusting.
So eventually I left the pizza place and returned home to see that there was a car in the driveway. I opened the door slowly.
"KYLA?" I called for my sister.
"She's in the shower." I looked to see that Carmen was here. "So the rumors are true then."
"What rumors?" I asked
"That you're a cheerleader." Carmen clarified. "I didn't believe Kyla at first."
"Why are you still here?" I asked.
"Gotta do some studying with Kyla." She responded. "You look nice like that. I like the blue in your hair."
I couldn't help but think that this had to be the longest conversation that I had ever had with Carmen. I really didn't know anything about her other than the fact that she was Kyla's friend and I really didn't want to know much more about her. I then noticed Kyla was walking down the stairs. She was wearing a robe and drying off her hair. That was a little odd.
"I'm ready." Kyla said. "Oh, hi Ashley. I didn't expect you to be home so early."
"Shouldn't you be more dressed or something?" I asked as I looked my sister over. It confused me a little to see her dressed like that.
"How about we head up to my room since Ashley's here?" Kyla suggested to Carmen, ignoring my question. Carmen smiled and the two of them ran up to her room. Okay that was definitely weird but the two of them being weird was nothing new to me. I decided to turn on Showtime to see if they were airing any old episodes of The L Word. Upon finding that they weren't I checked out BBC America to watch Skins. There was an American version without the accents but the one character who is a lesbian in that show doesn't have an attractive female love interest. And the original version was better anyway. I turned up the volume so I wouldn't have to hear whatever they were doing up there. Sometimes they apparently liked to play these study games which could get loud at times.
"Just tonight I will stay and we'll throw it all away." My phone sang. Yes I had a Pretty Reckless ringtone. Deal with it. I paused my DVR and answered it
"Hello?" I answered.
"It's me again." Spencer replied.
"Why do you keep calling me?" I asked jokingly.
"Do you not want to talk to me?" She asked.
"It's not that but why are you calling me?" I questioned.
"Because I'm parked outside of your gate and I need the code to get in." She responded.
"So you're stalking me now." I quipped.
"No my parents are watching The Passion of the Christ and I usually don't like to be around when they do that." She explained. "So could you let me in by any chance?"
"I'm going to have to ask you the password." I declared.
"Is it 'I'm about to climb the gate?'" She asked, not sounding amusing.
"That would set off the security system." I pointed out as I pressed the button to open the gate. I looked to see that I was still wearing my cheerbitch uniform. I needed to change into something cooler and more casual "Take your time in the driveway."
I ran up to my room and began to look for something to put on. I ended up settling for a black tee and white shorts. Definitely casual enough. I then heard what appeared to be something being thrown in Kyla's room.
"I don't know what you two are doing in there but keep it down." I warned them. The buzz of the door prevented me from saying anything else. I walked downstairs to answer it and saw Spencer wearing a green halter top, blue sweater jacket and jeans. There was nothing notable about those that I could see from the front. "Welcome to Chateau Davies."
"I'm surprised you know French." She remarked.
"You do realize I could still slam the door in your face, don't you?" I reminded her.
"Not now. Nice place you've got here." Spencer said as she walked inside. She walked into the TV and noticed the frozen picture, "So what are you watching?"
"Skins." I replied.
"That MTV show?" She asked.
"No." I responded. "This is the real version. The British version. Wanna watch it with me?"
"Well considering that I planned on doing whatever you were doing, it looks like I will be watching." She said as I patted a seat for her to sit on the couch. She decided to lean against my shoulder.
"This doesn't give you permission to molest me." I remarked.
"It's not molesting if you like it." Spencer pointed out. Okay so I did like it but I didn't want to let her know that. I figured that now might be a good time to find the answer to the question that was on my mind. I prepared myself to ask as she began to rub my back tenderly. That actually felt pretty fucking good to be honest.
"So Spencer, do you like me?" I asked seriously.
"Of course I like you." She replied. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't."
"Not like that but do you…you know like me?" I asked.
"Hmm what would you do to find out?" She asked. "You've gotta do something for me before I tell you the answer."
I began to think of what to do. Would an attempt to kiss her be coming on too strong? I had no idea what she wanted and I couldn't really think of anything else to do. I subtly leaned toward but not enough for her to know what I was planning to do. As I readied myself to make a move, I heard the sound of feet coming down the stairs. I cancelled what I was doing and turned to see Carmen heading for the door. Her hair was kind of messy and there was a red mark on her neck. She didn't say anything as she walked out the door.
"Who was that?" Spencer asked.
"You're telling me that you don't know someone?" I responded. "I thought you knew everyone at school."
"Well I know most of the people at school but her I can't say that I'm familiar with." Spencer explained. "So who is she?"
"She's my sister's best friend." I said. "Carmen…I don't think know her last name. She and Kyla like to study together and play these games."
"I see." Spencer commented. "So are you gonna start this TV or are we just gonna stare at this picture all night?"
"Oh right sorry." I said as I pressed play. This particular episode was about Naomi, the main principle lesbian character in the show. It did have some pretty nice lesbian scenes. That made me a little uncomfortable watching it with Spencer. Well at least we weren't watching The L Word.
As the episode moved towards the end, I knew the dreaded ending scene was coming up. That part always got to me and I didn't really want to cry in front of Spencer. But at the same time, I didn't want to stop it because she had never seen it before. I looked at it and did my best not to cry but when Emily and Naomi held hands through the cat door, I couldn't hold it in. The tears started to flow down my face and I'm pretty sure Spencer noticed.
"Are you crying?" She asked. "Why are you crying?"
"It's just really sweet." I bawled. "That they can be in love like that and it was perfect moment. I'm sorry, this always gets to me."
"Well I think it's good that you can show some emotions some times." Spencer replied
"You tell anyone about this and you're dead." I threatened.
"I won't tell anyone on one condition." She proposed as she held up one finger.
Before Spencer could tell me what her condition was, I heard more footsteps walking down the stairs. I looked over to see Kyla who was looking at her phone.
"Hey Ash, your mom called and said she wasn't going to be home tonight." Kyla informed me. I imagine that she called Kyla because she knew that I wouldn't answer a call from her. Our relationship sucked and I was completely okay with that. "Oh hi Spencer."
"Hi Kyla." Spencer greeted.
"So what were you saying, Spencer?" I interrupted.
"I want to stay over tonight." Spencer told me.
"Why exactly do you want to do that?" Kyla asked what I was thinking. Was there something about Spencer that I may have needed to know?
"Isn't that the kind of thing that you need permission from your parents for?" I asked.
Spencer took out her cellphone and began to text rather quickly. Her phone began to vibrate.
"Done, so can I stay over?" She asked.
"Sure I guess." I replied.
So I bet people are wondering what's going on between Kyla and Carmen. Well that's something that I'm not telling right now. What will happen during Spashley's sleepover? Will there be any sort of lovin? You have to review to find out.
