"I don't think that's a good idea, I just got out of a relationship and—" Spencer says sheepishly.
Carmen stops her, "I mean as friends." She smiles.
Spencer feels pretty embarrassed, "Oh, well yeah. I'll show you around."
Carmen nods her head, "Good. When?"
Spencer thinks about it, "Well, I don't know. I—"
Kyla comes back, "Sorry I took so long. I was talking to Aiden." She sits down in her seat.
Spencer tenses up at the sound of his name, "Who's Aiden?" Carmen asks.
"My ex-boyfriend." Kyla says a little uneasy.
"And my ex's ex… if that makes any sense." Spencer says.
Kyla quickly turns her head to Spencer, "What?"
"Um, are we playing the question game? Okay then, why?"
Carmen looks confused, "Your ex? Ashley?" Kyla says.
"Yeah. That's what I meant to tell you but we kinda got sidetracked." Spencer smiles at Carmen.
Carmen raises my hand, "I guess that was my fault, hmm?"
Spencer smiles and shakes her head at Carmen, "Wow, so this is for real. Like you guys aren't on a break?" Kyla says extremely shocked.
"Nope. We're officially broken up." Spencer makes a bummed out face.
Kyla scoots her desk closer to Spencer's, "I'm sorry, babe." She rubs Spencer's back.
Spencer takes Kyla's hand away, "It's fine. I'll be fine. I'll get over it."
Kyla raises her eyebrow expecting that Spencer it lying, "O…kay."
The club leader finally announces, "All right, guys, thanks for coming. See y'all next meeting. Don't forget to come back." Everyone starts to leave the room. Spencer, Kyla and Carmen all stand up.
"Well, I'm gonna go catch a ride with Aiden, you wanna come Spencer?" Kyla asks throwing her purse over her shoulder.
Spencer chuckles to herself, "No." I'd probably kill him. She thinks.
Kyla makes a weird face, "What's up with that creepy serial killer laugh?"
"Nothing." Spencer says being short. I can't believe he didn't even tell Kyla he was in love with Ashley. He's such a whore. I'm not telling Kyla anything, he should be the one to break her heart… the way mines been torn into pieces on more than one occasion. He irks me so much. God! What does Ashley see in him? And why doesn't she see it in me?
Kyla narrows her eyes, "You're lying to me. What's up? Is there something I should know about?"
Spencer sighs, "Yeah. Ask Aiden. Maybe you'll understand why me and Ashley—"
Just before Spencer finishes her sentence Mr. Knight in shining armor walks in, "Hey, Kyla, ready to go?" he walks up to the group of girls. And they are pretty much alone now considering that everyone has places to be.
Spencer looks away, "Yeah. I think I'm ready." Kyla says sensing Spencer's uneasiness; which Carmen kinda senses too.
"Hey, Spencer." Aiden says trying to be polite.
Spencer doesn't look at him; just Carmen, "Um, this is Carmen, Aiden. She's a new girl here. She's pretty cool." Kyla says changing the subject.
Carmen waves, "Hi." She says meekly.
Aiden waves slowly still in pain from Spencer's rejection, "Hey."
Spencer looks at Kyla, "Well, I think I'm gonna go so, see you later, Ky." She looks at Carmen, "Nice meeting you and I guess I'll take you out soon." Spencer waves at everyone, not including Aiden, and walks out of the room with her backpack thrown over her shoulder.
She walks down to her locker, which takes a good two minutes. She tosses her books in her locker. "Hey!" an out of breath voice says down the hall.
Spencer turns her head to see who it is, "Yeah?" she still can't see the figure but she does know it's a girl.
The girls runs up to Spencer and Spencer sees it's Carmen, "You left so fast."
Spencer blushes because she's so embarrassed, "Yeah sorry about that. I just—" she slams her locker, "I just didn't want to be in the same room as him."
Carmen puts two and two together, "So I can only assume, but catch me if I'm wrong, that Aiden did something to break you and your ex up?"
Wow, she hit that on the head. "Yeah. Pretty much. I mean he did confess his love to her about two times. Well, those are the times I actually know of. Who the hell knows how many other times he's done it." Spencer says getting angry at herself for even assuming that a boy and a girl that close could be friends after their history.
Carmen places a friendly hand on Spencer's shoulder, "Hey, it's okay. Don't beat yourself up over it. I know that I just met you and all but, it's definitely her lost." She smiles.
Spencer feels like that was the most genuine thing that she's heard in the past four month; so she smiles, "Thanks."
Carmen takes her hand away and waves her hand, "No problem."
Spencer looks at Carmen and tilts her head as if she's trying to figure her out. Where did this girl come from? Okay, I know where she came from but she's so nice and sweet to a stranger she just met. I didn't expect New Yorkers to be like this and she's actually pretty cute, adorable even. "So I think I'm gonna go home now. I think you might be getting sick of my drama." Spencer smiles, making a joke.
Carmen smiles back, "No. This is very interesting honestly."
Spencer laughs, "And why is that?"
"Because I'm slowly trying to figure the people here out and if their as stupid as Ashley then I think I'm gonna have a hard time."
Spencer tilts her head again but this time in confusion, "Why is Ashley stupid?"
"She let a beautiful girl like you go. That's a dumb-ass move." She says confidently.
Spencer blushes, "All I can say is thank you." Wow. That's like the third compliment I've gotten from her.
"And all I can say is: it's the truth."
Spencer smiles, "Well, I think I actually am gonna go now. So I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Do you have a car?" Carmen asks.
"Nope. My brother's suppose to pick me up but he's probably somewhere with Madison, cheerleader, so I think I'm gonna call my mom and—"
Carmen cuts Spencer off, "I could drive you. I just got a brand new car. I mean I don't wanna sound creepy but—"
Spencer returns the favor by cutting her off, "That sounds good. I really don't wanna have to tell my mom at this very moment that Ashley and I broke up. So yeah that'd be great if you could drop me off, though?"
Carmen nods her head, "Understandable. Let's go then." Carmen motions in the direction of her car. Spencer smiles and walks with Carmen to her car.
I think I need a friend right now. I mean Kyla's a good friend and all but I think I need a friend that's outside our screwed up little circle. And I'm sure Ashley's making friends right now, she is a rock star's daughter. That kinda stuff rubs off. I hope she's okay though. I may not be with her but I do care about her well being. I'm not a complete bitch although I was before she left. Honestly, I didn't mean any of it. I think I'll call her when I get home. Spencer thinks before entering Carmen's really nice 2006 Hyundai Sonata.
Meanwhile with Ashley at a beach house…
"We should go to my place. My mom's not home." Ashley says to Sara.
"Sounds like roses to me." Sara says wasted.
Ashley smirks, "I didn't know roses have a sound."
"They do if you listen hard enough."
"So I'm guessing that means yes? You wanna go back to my place?" Ashley says kinda confused.
Sara practically screams, "Hell yeah!"
She's so sloshed right now. Maybe she's exactly what I need to get my mind off Spencer. We're not together; I can do whatever I want. But I love her. Forget love! This is where love's gotten me; in the pits. Back to my place Sara goes!
