AN: So I hope you like it sorry it took a while I had school and stuff like that yuck!
Well let me know what you think review review
I don't own anything
This morning I woke up earlier than usual. Not able to sleep any longer I dragged myself into the bathroom and took a shower. Being as I had more time than usual I went slower getting ready, making sure every hair was in place and my make-up was done perfectly. Looking in the mirror I smiled at myself, I looked good and I was hoping that a certain brown-eyed brunette would notice.
Walking down the stairs I entered the kitchen and found my dad already awake making coffee.
"Hi Spencer your sure are up early this morning."
"Yeah couldn't sleep…" I said grabbing a glass from the cupboard and pouring myself some orange juice. "Hey dad you think you could drive me to school this morning? I want to go a little earlier and I don't want to bug Glen."
"Yeah sure let me just go change and I will take you."
"Thanks!" I went back up to my room and gathered my books placing them in my bag. I noticed it was quite nice out today and I mentally praised myself for picking out the right attire.
Getting into the car my dad turned on the ignition and we headed to school. With every mile we went I was getting exceedingly more anxious. I was excited to go to school and not because of the school part because of the Ashley part.
As he pulled up to the front entrance I turned to him and said, "Thanks dad!" kissed him on the cheek and hopped out of the car. After he drove away I made a stop at my locker dropping off the books I wouldn't need until after lunch and took a seat at a table near by. Ashley's locker was only a few away from mine and I knew she would have to come by here sometime this morning.
I was right she did and I noticed her coming a block away.
She didn't see me, and went up to her locker and started twirling combo of the lock and opening the door. I carefully snuck behind her and when I got close enough I bent forward, "Boo!" I said into her ear. Okay she must really have been distracted before because she jumped about a foot in the air and twirled around to see who had startled her so badly.
"Spencer!" she exclaimed slapping my arm and then placing her hand on her chest. "You almost gave me a heart attack what did you do that for?"
"Cause I wanted to." I stated simply and she just started smiling.
"Well thanks a lot!" she added sarcastically. "What are you doing here so early, don't you usually show up right before the bell rings?"
"Yeah but I wanted to come earlier so I had my dad drop me off. I usually have to wait for my brother to wake up and you know boys they sure are lazy!"
"Yeah totally…well listen if you like I could take you to school in the morning, and even bring you home after if you like?"
"Yeah! That would be great." By this time we had already made our way back to the place I had been sitting before and were talking about random things. However all I could think about was last night and what had happened. I had begun to fully accept the fact that I liked Ashley and not just in a platonic way. Without realizing it I had spaced out and only until I felt Ashley's hand on my shoulder did I come back into reality.
"SPENCER!" I heard her say my name.
"Oh sorry what?"
"You were completely zoned out what were you thinking about?'
"You…" 'Opps' I had totally not meant to say that!
"Really" she stated smirking at me. Thank god right then Aiden had decided to show up because I had no idea what I would have said.
"Hey Aiden!" I greeted probably a little to happily.
"Hello ladies how are you this morning?"
"Good." Ashley and I answered in unison.
"Well that's good!" He laughed. "So Spencer you wanna get going to class?"
I looked at my watch I had not realized that it had gotten so late. 'Wow time sure does fly when I'm hanging out with Ashley.'
"Uh yeah sure." I got up rose from my seat next to Ashley and picked up my bag.
"Well I will see you two at lunch then." Ashley said and we started to walk away.
"Hey Spence!" Ashley yelled. I turned around and looked at her and she smiled, "You look hot today!" blushing I didn't reply and just turned around to catch up with Aiden.
So when Aiden and I got to first period, right as I was about to take my seat he said, "So what's up with you and Ashley?"
I was so taken aback that I missed my chair completely and fell to the floor. "Oww!" I groaned and Aiden hurriedly put his things on the desk and helped me up.
"Sorry I didn't mean for you to fall I was just wondering?" laughing a little he repeated his question, "What's going on with you and Ashley?" and I was surprised that the tone of his voice was not angry, or even jealous he was merely curious and I was simply speechless.
"Umm hello Spencer?" he cleared his throat raising his eyebrows at me.
"Oh sorry, what do you mean…there's nothing going on!" I was lying and I could tell he knew it. But surprisingly he didn't push it he just muttered, "If you say so." And turned toward the front of the room.
The rest of the class Aiden didn't say another word about Ashley and what was "not going on", and when the bell rang he just started in on a new conversation,
"So I was thinking it would be fun to go out to lunch today you, me, Ashley and Kyla. What do you think?"
"Sound great!"
"Okay
I'll ask Kyla, you mind telling Ashley and we can all meet at the
parking lot after 3rd."
"Alright sounds good see you then!" and with that I started making my way to math.
So I didn't see Ashley all morning and I was on my way to my locker after gym when I finally did.
"Hey Spencer." I heard my name being called from behind me; I knew that voice I didn't have to look around to know it was Ashley.
"Hey!" smiling I slowed my pace so she could catch up with me. "So Aiden and I were thinking it would be fun to go out to lunch today what do you say?" 'Please say yes!'
"Yeah that sounds great! Where we going?"
"No idea we will decide that when we meet them in the parking lot."
"Ok lets go then."
Walking to the schools parking lot we found Aiden and Kyla already waiting for us.
"So we were thinking we could go to the diner, that alright with you two?" Aiden asked
"Yeah!" we both replied and together we climbed into Aiden's Nissan Xterra.
We pulled into the parking lot of the diner and after the hostess seated at a booth, where I cleverly slid in next to Ashley, Kyla brought up the conversation of this weekends plans.
"So this weekend if you guys don't have anything to do you think you might want to tag along with Ashley and I to a concert our dad is having Friday night, he said we could bring some friends?"
"Yeah that sounds cool! But Ashley what's the name of your dads band I don't think you ever mentioned it?"
"Oh well its…Purple Venom, my dads name is Raife Davies."
With that my jaw dropped I knew who that was. He was really really famous, and I was floored I had not even bothered to ask before who her father was before. But at least now I understood why her house was so enormous.
"What?" Ashley asked looking at my expression. "I told you my dad was in a band?"
"Yeah! But you didn't say he was the Raife Davies." She just shrugged smiling. It's not really that big of a deal I was just surprised. So I let it go and we all got back to ordering our lunch.
Ashley and I got caser salads, Kyla got some soup and a sandwich, and Aiden went with a big cheeseburger that he could hardly fit into his mouth.
After our food arrived we ate and talked about this weekend and us girls talked about what we would wear.
I however was hyper aware of how close to Ashley I was, I wanted to touch her even if only for a moment. When it got too much for me to take I boldly slid my hand over to hers, which was on the set in between us, and as soon as my hand slid on top of hers I felt a slight shock and then all the anxiousness melted away. I felt her body tense a bit and then relax just as I had. She then startled me by turning her hand around and linking it with mine. We sat there like that and at no point the rest of the time did a smile leave my face. I was disappointed when Kyla announced that we better get back to the school and I sadly untangled my hand from her grasp.
After getting back to the school Ashley and I walked to our class together and the rest of the day we did not speak about the previous hand holding. However I could not think of anything else and completely missed the part in English when the teacher had assigned the class a project to do with partners. So think of how confused I was when Ashley asked me to be her partner.
"So I was thinking we could be partners." Ashley said to me as we left English class.
"Huh?" I said raising my eyebrows at her and she laughed.
"Weren't you paying attention in English class?"
"Guess not!" I chuckled at myself. "So what about being partners?"
" Mr. H assigned the whole class a project on The Holocaust. Were allowed to work with partners." She informed me.
"Oh ok…sure yeah I'll be your partner!" I said as everything fell into place.
"So you maybe wanna work on it this weekend? How bout you see if you can stay the night on Friday after the concert and we can work all day Saturday."
"Yeah I bet that would be fine." 'A whole day just Ashley and me! How more perfect could it get?'
"Alright so I'll meet you at your locker after school today and I'll take you home."
"Okay! See you then." I said walking away and as I turned back to get one last look at Ashley I saw that she was starting at me; she started blushing bright red and turned around quickly walking away. I laughed and continued on my way to my next class.
School had ended and Ashley had met me at my locker like she said. We were now in her can and were on our way to my house.
"So you excited for this weekend?" Ashley asked me making casual conversation.
"Yeah! I am I really like concerts." 'and I like you'
"Yeah well that's good! There is also a nice little restaurant next door that my dad said he wanted to take us all to afterwards."
"Really that's nice of him!"
"Yeah it is…" Just then she pulled up to my house.
"Well I guess I will see you tomorrow then." I said getting out of the car. "Thanks for invite this week I will let you know what my mom says tomorrow."
"Okay by Spence." And I shut the car door walking to my house. She waited until I had closed the door and was safely inside my house until she drove away. I leaned up against the door and sighed happily. Today had been and good day.
