Four weeks pass and everything seems like it's back to normal… between everyone except Glen and Spencer. Glen never apologized to Spencer about what he said so she decided not to forgive him. Aiden finally told Kyla that it wouldn't work and so they broke up. He failed to mention to Kyla that it wouldn't work because he was in love with her sister.
So Aiden and Ashley are talking regularly again. And Ashley and Spencer are doing great although Ashley hasn't been telling Spencer when she's hanging out with Aiden. But Ashley does when Spencer asks.
Oh, and Chelsea finally came back to school with the baby still growing in her womb.
"So, are you gonna help me with my chemistry homework today or am I stuck trying to figure it out?" Ashley says walking with Spencer to her locker.
Spencer smiles, "Hmm, I think I can do that only if you're obedient this time. Don't get mad at me because you don't understand H20."
"Are you kidding? How does Mr. Carney teach that stupid class anyway? Who really cares about any of that stuff; I know I don't." Ashley says throwing her arms everywhere to be dramatic.
Spencer rolls her eyes playfully, "You're so dramatic."
"I know, especially about a subject I have no clue about." Ashley says as they stop at Spencer's locker.
Spencer opens her locker, "You need your Spanish book?"
"Yeah." Ashley says leaning against the locker doors next to Spencer's.
Spencer takes a few folders out and Ashley's Spanish book, "Here." Spencer says handing the book to Ashley.
"Thanks, Spence." Ashley says stepping away from the locker.
Spencer closes her locker and they start to walk again, "You're welcome, Ash."
"So you don't have study hall today?" Ashley asks.
Spencer sighs, "No, I have to go to some seminar because Mrs. Rooney signed me up for it. It's suppose to be for 'accelerating' students, super." Spencer says not so enthused.
"I'm sorry, I wish you could come to study hall with me. I get the feeling that seminar's gonna be super boring." Ashley says.
"Yeah, maybe I can catch up on some sleep." she nudges Ashley.
"Looks like you're turning into me." Ashley stops in front of her class, "Good job."
Spencer smirks and stops with her, "So I guess you are a bad influence, huh?" Ashley smiles, "Got to go. See you after school." she kisses Ashley one the cheek and walks off.
"Meet me by my car!" Ashley yells at her.
Spencer doesn't look back but yells, "Okay!"
Ashley laughs at this and watches Spencer strut down the hall. She has a few minutes before the bell rings so she decides to go to Spencer's locker to get her iPod. I wanna listen to some sounds while I'm sleeping. She thinks as she slowly walks to the locker. And lucky her, she sees Aiden coming from the opposite direction. He smiles and waves at her, "Hey." she says as they close the gap between the two.
"Hey," he says towering over her, "Why aren't you in class?"
They stop in front of Spencer's locker, "I came to get my iPod really quick. I have study hall so I think I'm gonna sleep while listening to some tunes."
"That's what you do best." Aiden jokes.
Ashley opens Spencer's locker, "Oh you know me so well." she exaggerates.
He laughs, "So what are you doing after school? Wanna go to Gray's?"
She moves books around because she can't find her iPod, "Uh, I don't know. I think I'm busy with Spencer today." she says kinda preoccupied.
"Oh," he says, "Okay well maybe tomorrow?"
"Maybe… I think Spence is taking me to the movies," she turns to look at him, "I think she might actually pay for a change." she resumes what she was doing.
Aiden sighs and the bell rings as he does so, "Alright."
She finds her iPod and grabs it, closes the locker then looks at him, "Something wrong?" she places the iPod in her purse.
"You're always with Spencer. I never get to hang out with you outside of school." Aiden complains.
"Um, how old are you again?" Ashley says laughing at him.
"I'm serious, it's like you don't have time for me anymore. It sucks."
Ashley raises her left eyebrow, "Are you kidding? You're not my boyfriend, Aiden. I think I'm allowed to spend time with my girlfriend. I mean she is my girlfriend, I love spending time with her."
"It's not like I didn't want to be more." Aiden says.
Ashley sighs, "Not this again. Honestly, Aiden, I thought you were over this… we discussed this a few weeks ago. Nothing's going on between you and me."
Aiden stares at her without saying a word then he sees she has something on her cheek, a pen mark maybe. He places his hand on her cheek and tries to rub it off gently. "Aiden…" Ashley says not looking directly at him, "Stop." He says nothing. He slowly leans in to her until there's a scream coming from the right side of him.
"Ugh!" Spencer screams, narrows her eyes angrily at both of them and walks the other way.
Ashley pushes Aiden away and begins to run after Spencer, "Spencer! Spencer!"
"Leave me alone, Ashley." Spencer snipes at Ashley.
Ashley finally catches up with Spencer and stops her in her tracks, "Stop for a second, please." she says out of breathe while holding Spencer's arms.
Spencer snatches her arms away, "That's the second time, Ash, the second time I've seen y'all in that same position. God, Ashley!"
Ashley's finally able to catch her breathe, "I can explain."
"I don't want an explanation, I wanna rewind time. Can you do that for me, Ashley? Rewind time?" Spencer says angrily.
"No, I can't but--"
"No 'buts'. We're done. I'm sick of being hurt by you. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." Spencer says pursing her lips together.
