"You don't mean that. I didn't do anything."
"That's exactly right! He was about to kiss you and you didn't even flinch. He touches all over you and you still don't even flinch. That's not normal, that's definitely a sign that you're not committed to me." Spencer says brushing past Ashley.
"Wait," Ashley grabs Spencer's arm firmly, "I was telling him to stop when he touched me." she pleads.
Spencer yanks her arm away again, "So what?! You didn't make a movement. Actions speak louder than words." this time Spencer doesn't walk away, she stands there with her arms folded waiting for Ashley to say something.
Ashley looks down at her feet then back up at Spencer, "You're right, I should've pushed him away but I figured he would listen to me."
Spencer rolls her eyes and just as she does so Aiden walks up behind Ashley, "I'm sorry--"
"Save it for someone who cares, backstabber." Spencer says to Aiden. While Spencer stares at Aiden her anger grows stronger and stronger. She slaps him, "I'll never forgive you. I didn't even forgive you the first time you pulled this little stunt. You're a backstabber," Spencer gets in his face, "You're so stubborn and a douche. There's not much I can say that I haven't said before."
Ashley sighs, "Spencer--"
"But I will say that I was stupid and I should've known." She sighs, "I got to go to class…" Spencer trails off and begins walking.
Ashley starts to follow her but Aiden grabs her arm. She takes it away and slaps him, "Don't you ever touch me, again!" she points her finger in his face while saying this. "Why can't you just let me be happy? What's your problem, Aiden?" he opens his mouth but Ashley knows that she doesn't want to hear it, "Just shut up. I don't care. I don't care anymore. That's the second time you ruined my relationship with her. What if I don't get her back, Aiden? You know, I'll never talk to you again if I don't get her back and I probably still won't if we get back together. Ugh!" she screams, "Why can't you take your testosterone someplace else? I'm gay, Aiden! I don't like boys, jesus, get that through your head." with all that said Ashley skips study hall and stays in the bathroom for the rest of the period.
I must have the best relationship luck in the world right now. This is not fair! Aiden ruins everything! Ugh, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him. He has to have everything his way. He won't accept the fact that I love hi--her. Whoa, I almost thought about him…no. I don't love him like that. I love Spencer, I'm in love with Spencer. Spencer is my girlfriend. Ashley thinks to herself while looking at herself in the mirror. The last bell rings and Ashley grabs her stuff to go to her car. As she opens the stall she sees Kyla.
Kyla turns around to see Ashley's dried up tears, "Hey, what's wrong?" Kyla walks over to her sister.
"Aiden's a jerk is all." Ashley says nonchalantly.
Kyla places a hand on her sister's shoulder, "Why?"
Ashley wipes her face with her shirt sleeve so there are no traces of tears, "Nothing."
"Yeah, right." Kyla says and takes her hand away, "Seriously, what's up?"
Ashley thinks about whether she should spill the beans about why he really broke up with her, "I'll tell you when we get home. I'd feel more comfortable."
"Okay, but I'm staying after school so I'll be home around six." Kyla says.
"See you when you get home." Ashley says dashing out of the bathroom. By the time she comes out of the bathroom half of the kids are gone. She starts walking to her car hoping for Spencer to be waiting there but she knows that she may be wrong. Scratch that--right.
Spencer's leaning on Ashley's car waiting for her to come over and she has something in her hands. Ashley reaches Spencer, "Here's your stuff." Spencer hands over a small book bag with Ashley's books.
"I don't want this stuff, why didn't you just leave it in the locker." Ashley says placing the bag on the ground.
"Because that's my locker and you have your own, maybe even Aiden's." Ashley rolls her eyes, "And plus I don't wanna have to run into you all the time if we're broken up."
Ashley sighs, "Are we really gonna do this?"
"Yeah." Spencer says not looking directly at Ashley.
Ashley turns away from Spencer and kicks her car tire, "Is there nothing I can do?" Ashley says leaning on her car with her hands, not looking at Spencer.
Spencer blinks back tears, "No."
