Ashley's POV

Riding in Aiden's Xterra from that really boring RA meeting. I wake up early in the morning for the Advisory Board to tell me the same shit I've been hearing since I signed up. Lucky for me, I was informed that my hall wasn't getting anymore newbies for the rest of the semester, due to my college classes. I guess they decided to "take it easy" on me.

I look out the window, let out a quick sigh as Aiden lowers the volume to our favorite Green Day song to say something. I could tell he was from the uneasy way he moved his lips, it had to be over a girl.

"So. How's the RA life? Treating you good?" What a dumb way to spark convo with a 'best friend' "Aiden, cut it, I know you wanna speak of a girl. Let me guess, Madison?"

"Actually, Spencer is hotter. You were right, look for someone 'smarter and cuter'." With this comment, I quickly turned his way, looking at him with a disapproval look. "What?!?" he says trying to act all innocent.

I hesitated, knowing I wasn't fast on response on why Aiden should make Spencer his next conquest. "You know what!! You and your conquests." I rolled my eyes looking back out the window, trying to hide my jealousy.

"Ash, you act like I'm bad towards girls." "Well you're not exactly the Fred Astaire of love. More like the Barry Bonds type." Aiden stopped at a red light. "WHAT the hell are you talking about?!?!?"

"Hit and run, Aiden, hit and run. Gosh! You are so damn slow!" I laugh shaking my head in shame.

"The girls don't mind. You sure didn't." He says "Apparently I did. That why I dumped you. Then you got with Natalie."

"Natalie. It's funny she dumped me exactly like you dumped me." "HaHa. In the mall at the food court. Made a big show. Yelling. We even got kicked out the same. That was funny."

Aiden looked at me with a smirk "That wasn't funny." "But yeah, it was." "It should've been us. The 3 of us hear today laughing abou this." A tear comes to my eye thinking of my best friend. "I know. I know." He wiped it away, still looking at the road.

"Come on, don't cry. I don't need you cryin' on me. You know I'm hyper-sensitive." He was right about that. Whenever I lost her, I was crying all the time, and so was he. He did love her, as a friend. Even after the embarrasment. Thats one thing that we had in common. "Ok I won't cry"

"Yeah, instead let's talk about your NEW hottie friend.." I playfully slap his arm.

Spencer's POV

Getting ready for tonight. I must've gotten up at 5 or so. I had so much I had to do. Shave legs,shower, brush teeth, do my hair. Usually the regular Spencer would just pop on a t-shirt and some jeans, but tonight was special. Well not really.. GOSH I don't even know what to think anymore.

I finally am done with prepping myself. And I sit around and wait.. I look up at my clock.. It's 7:58. A knock at my door.. I jump up and run to the door like it was publish clearing house. I open the door, not to find Ashley, but to find this geeky looking boy standing in front of my door.

"Hi, um, my name's Eugene, and I was wondering if you had any sugar I could borrow?" Disappointed, I respond. "No I don't, I'm sorry." Then I see Ashley sneak beside him and start giggling. "It was Aiden's Idea. Thanks Eugene, you're done." She slipped him a 20 dollar bill. "Cool! Pizza, guys!" He walked away.

I laughed. "You ready? Aiden's in the room still primping his hair. Such a girl." Ashley rolled her eyes and smiled. "Sure, lets go." As I walked out, Aiden walked out. "How does my hair look?" "Bootylicious." I say.

We decided to take Ashley's car, since it was the nicest car. It's only kewl to pull up to a LA club with the coolest car Aiden noted. We pull up to this club called "Gray" Sitting in the front next to Ashley she looked at me.

"Are you ready?" "I've never been more ready" I said. "Me neither, let's get wasted." Aiden says from the back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ashley's POV

Entering the club, we quickly headed towards the bar with one thing in mind.. ALCOHOL. Back then, it was hard, considering we were under 21, but it was more fun. I do appreciate being able to buy and consume it without being stopped, but it gets boring.

Spencer and I lean against the bar while Aiden ordered our drinks. Her arm brushed mine and I looked at her. She blushed and turned away, causing her to moved her arm. Aiden handed over our screwdrivers. I sipped on mine slowly while Spencer drunk it like it was her first drink of water from the desert.

"WHOO!! LET's DANCE!" She pulled our arms out towards the dance floor. Still drink in hand, I hurry and drank it down while rushing to the dancing oasis. I think Aiden left his on the counter.

She swung our arms loose on the floor, and started doing this hideous dance in between us. I blushed a little "No, you and Aiden made that dancing bet, I'm not in this one." I tried walking away and she grabbed my arm and pulled me back out into her view. I stood there for a second while she was dancing for me, not Aiden. Aiden went off and danced with some Floozy.

My total attention was on her. She grabbed my hand and placed it on her hip while I still stood there. "Come on, Ash. I'll teach you." She smiled at me and I, just rolled my eyes as she led the way.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spencer's POV

We walked into my room After maybe 15 songs and 12 drinks. Aiden took his jacket off and threw across my bed and ran to the bathroom. "I got to piss." "Well thats very gentleman like." Ashley said. Thank God she didn't drink as much as we did, or else we wouldn't have a ride home.

I plop down on my bed, next to me, here comes Ashley sitting next to me. "You two are the worst drunks I ever been around." She laid back. Right now I was tempted to lay next to her. After a few seconds, she pulls me. I start laughing and she puts her arm around my stomach. "Spencer?" she says. Yes I've been waiting for this moment.. "Yeah?" "I'm drunk." She starts giggling. That was not what I was hoping for but oh well. Aiden stumbles out of the bathroom and sits on the edge of my bed.

"Hey Spencer, Ashley!" He pulls us up. "WHAT!?!?" We both say. "Let's do something else." "Like what, it's 3:32" Aiden looks at me and gets closer. "Like this.." He starts kissing me on my neck. I look over at Ashley who is clearly upset. I'm not sure if it was because Aiden or me. So I stopped him.

"What's wrong?" "I can't, I'm celibate." I said looking at Ashley. "Well I guess I'll skip over." I watched him change from me to Ashley's neck within seconds. She punches him. "What the hell, stupid!" There is a God...

"WHAT!!?? C'mon Ash, it wouldn't be our first..." I stop paying attention to them arguing or making out or whatever to think to myself how much of a fool I would've been if I tried anything on Ashley, appearently, she has a boyfriend. So she's staight.. I feel my heart drop. I snap back to reality when she pushes him to the floor, causing him to bump his head.

"OWWWW That fucking hurts, Ash! Damn it!" She chuckles "See Aiden, this is why I don't drink with you. You get all horny and stuff. Leave us alone and go mess with Madison or something." After a few seconds, Aiden jumps to his feet like the ligh bulb has went off. Talk about special. "Alright, ok. But the two of you will regret this. We could have been the perfect threesome.. HAHAHA Threesome, get it. HAHAHA" Cackling, he leaves the room, leaving us two girls alone.

"Whoo, thank Bob thats over." I couldn't get Aiden's unintentional confession out of my head. "So you and Aiden, you guys together?"

She laughed. "GOD NO!!! We dated, like in the 9th grade for two weeks, then I dumped him and like a moron, he hooked with my best friend. She ended up dumping him two weeks later too." she smiled and i laughed a little until I saw her head hanging low. "What? What is it Ashley?" She shook her head. Trying to avoid me from seeing her cry, she got up. I stay seated in my position.

"C'mon, you can tell me." She sa back down with me, still crying. She hesitated, then told me about her good friend from childhood being taken away from her. In an instant, I saw her go from crying to looking like she was gonna break down. To let her know I'm there for her, I grab her and embrace her. It wa too right to ignore the closeness we were having at that time.

Ashley's POV

Laying in Spencer's bed was very comfortable. We talked about Nat, our families, friends, school, hopes and dreams. My little breakdown actually sobered us up. While we were talking, we were pretty sure Aiden and Madison were bumping uglies.So sure because we heard the animals mating call, clearly. After we laughed from hearing the obscene. She also invited me to crash over.

In the morning, I was awaken by a ray of sunlight in my face. Spencer should really invest in curtains. Wait, Spencer... Coming into realization of where I actually am, I look down to see an arm around my waist. Judging by the heat behind my neck, she was really close. I look at her face, trying not to make to much movement. She looks so peaceful. I tapped her arm and she jumped up..

"W..wh..what? What happened." "Calm down, I was just saying good morning." I sat up next to her. "I'm sorry, I forgot you were here." She smiled.

Still blinded by the light, "AHH! Sunday doesn't mean it has to be sunny.. DAMN!"

I laughed at her. "Well thanks for letting, me crash. I think I need to check on Aiden to see if he has the clap or something."

"You sure its ghono? I heard she has hep c myself." "Eww, gross." I opened the door and looked back one last time. "You know you are a good listener, for an annoying person." She smiles as I'm closing the door.

I walk out the door both happy and sad. Happy from spending time with someone so kind and sweet like Spencer, and sad that it had to end so soon. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
