Sorry it took so long, I had to take care of some stuff. :)

TROPPER12: yah, sorry about that. I just thought you guys would find it boring if I slowed down towards the play. Heheh

This is Spencer's POV again. I'm planning on centering a chapter on one of the extras, maybe the next one?

Chapter 4: Polygraph

Saturday

"So what about it, girls?" Ashley and I sat opposite Ms. Sundquist in her classroom. She was trying to convince us to do one of her plays again. "Your Romeo and Juliet was great, everyone loved it. I mean I wasn't really sure the first time, since I was watching by the curtains but when I watched it back on one of the media student's tape, I thought it was phenomenal! Even the extended kiss fitted well. I didn't think it would."

"Ma'am, can't you get someone else?" Ashley asks.

"Well, Spencer's in the drama club so she's stuck with me. And yes, technically I can get someone else in your place," She clasped her hands together as if to tell us that we can't say no. "but I refuse to. I think you two have quite the chemistry."

"No disrespect ma'am, but I don't think acting is for me." Ashley leaned forward putting her elbows to her knees.

I just sit back and listen to their conversation. Honestly, I don't even know why Ms. Sundquist asked me to come.

"I'll make it worth your while. Eight points per play. What do you say?" The teacher says hopefully.

Ashley appeared to be thinking it over very carefully. "12 points ma'am and I'm all yours." She said this with a grin that made her look ridiculously adorable. I mean... Nevermind.

"Ashley, may I remind you that you're hustling with a teacher here." For a second I thought she was angry and was on the verge of throwing Ashley to the Colonel's office, but then, "I admire your persistence. You've got yourself a deal."

I look at Ashley and find a wide smile on her face as she shakes the drama teacher's hand. "Thank you, ma'am." There's something about the way she says ma'am that makes me smile.

"Alright then, you're both dismissed. I'll give you the details of the next play on Monday, okay?"

Ashley and I nod simultaneously.

"Enjoy your weekend!" Ms. Sundquist says, standing up as we went out.

"So, you going home for the weekend?" I start a conversation once I see that we're alone.

"Yep! Hey, you need a ride?" It's funny how we never even spoke a word to each other before the play and now we're sort of friends.

"Uh," Part of me wants to say yes but, "No thanks, I'll be fine."

"Okay, be safe." We're at the parking lot now and I watch as she walks towards her car, her miniskirt flipping first one way then the other.

She gets in her black Porsche and a minute later disappears through the enormous gates of the campus. I was about to go to my dorm room when Kyla's voice startled me half to death.

"Looks like you've got a new friend."

"Kyla! Jeez! You scared me!" I say with a hand on my chest.

"Yeah, 'cause you were too busy with your new BFF." Kyla was pretending to be mad/jealous and I couldn't help but laugh at her choice of jargon.

"BFF?! Since when do you say "BFF"?" She pulls my arm and we start walking.

"Since Paris and Benjie Madden hooked up. I decided I like her now," She began "prison reformed her."

We laugh as we make our way to the room we share with Chelsea. We got the things we needed so we went to meet Chelsea at a local restaurant.

--

"Hey guys!" Chelsea was sitting at one of the tables outside. "I got you your usual orders." She said while pushing strawberry and mango smoothies towards us.

"Thanks." We both utter.

"I feel like having pancakes." I say suddenly.

"It's three in the afternoon." Chelsea says, matter-of-factly.

"That's the great thing about this place, they have pancakes whenever you want 'em." I start to get up.

"You're so weird." Kyla jokes.

I give her a fake hurt expression as I open the door to the bistro, then...

"Hey, watch where you're going, as–" I accidentally hit Ashley with the door. "Carlin." She always calls me by my last name. I've never asked her why though.

"Spencer." I remind her that I have a given name. "Sorry, I didn't see you there."

"Yeah, no, don't stress. All my limbs are in check. Nice seeing you here." She's always so sweet, it's kind of endearing.

"That's great." Was all I could manage. And then it dawned on me. Could I possibly have feelings for Ashley Davies? No. I'm straight. Yeah, straight. But then she smiles that bright, infectious smile of hers and I feel myself smile too. My thoughts were distracted as my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answer my phone once I'm out of the way of the door and Ashley had gone out.

"Hey babe!" Oh yeah, I almost forgot, "I feel like I haven't seen my girlfriend in ages."– Aiden.

I don't like Aiden so I decided to make him the antagonist! Nyahahah! And forgive the suckiness, guys! I'll try to make the next chapter better. :)
