AFTER SCHOOL
We went to my house after school and Alice met my dad, then we went to my room.
"OK who is Ashley?" Alice asked almost as soon as I closed my bedroom door.
"First, can you and Edward read minds or something because I know I haven't said anything about Ashley?"
"OK fair enough. Edward can read minds, I can see the future." She answered happily.
"Oh OK cool." I said kind of in awe.
"So, Ashley?" Alice asked tapping her foot impatiently.
"She is my ex-girlfriend. She is coming to town this weekend. We broke up because after one of my brothers died she wasn't around for me; she disappeared for four months and yesterday was the first time I've talked to her since my brother, Clay, died. She didn't know I moved, or about my parents divorce, or anything for that matter. So she called and decided to come see me."
"Oh." Alice said while still digesting everything I'd told her in the matter of minutes.
"Yeah." Was all I could even think of to say.
After answering each others questions we talked about a bunch of stuff. Alice told me about how her and her family were different and I told her about my life. We got interrupted when my cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Spence?"
"Hi Ash." Alice was still laughing and I was still giggling when I answered.
ASHLEY'S POV
*Who is she with? Think fast!*
"Who are you with?" Damn I said it out loud.
"Alice."
"Who's that?" I tried to sound more interested than jealous, probably not succeeding.
"A new friend."
"Oh, well, hey I got a new flight. I can be there tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
"Yeah, is that OK? I don't want it to be an inconvenience."
"Uh…yeah that's fine."
"K. Well I have to go pack."
"K. See you tomorrow."
"Bye."
After we hung up I called the airport for a flight for tomorrow. Luckily, I got one. It was bugging me that I didn't know this Alice chick that could possibly be taking my Spencer from right under me.
SPENCER'S POV
Damn it tomorrow? I was hoping for a full week to prepare myself for her visit.
"Who was that?" Alice asked curiously.
"Ashley…she's coming tomorrow."
"Oh, wow." Alice was really quite now…kind of like she just got really bad news.
"That doesn't mean we wont hang out." I said trying to soothe her.
"OK." She said quietly.
"Alice, me and her aren't together anymore, it wont be a problem. If that's what your worried about."
"OK. I believe you." She said a little more confidently and with a smile.
"K. Good."
After that Alice and I started talking about our family's and about just random stuff. While we were talking I started thinking about how Alice and her family were different. I couldn't figure out why but I felt like Alice was hiding something from me.
"Alice, how exactly is your family different?"
"Well, we're just way more athletic, we're vegetarians, our temperatures are extremely cold, and little stuff like that. No biggy."
"Oh." She's hiding something.
"Why?"
"Oh, nothing, never mind."
Then we just listened to music and waited for my dad to get done hooking up my laptop. It took him over an hour because he isn't very good with technology.
"There you go."
"Thanks dad."
"Welcome."
My dad left and I turned on my computer.
A half an hour later Alice got up.
"Well, I better get home." She said while stretching.
"Oh. OK."
"I'll see you tomorrow." She said giving me a hug then grabbing her bag.
"Yeah, of course." I said as we walked downstairs.
"Are you leaving?" My dad asked.
"Yeah. It was nice meeting you ."
"You too, Alice."
"Bye." Alice said as she walked out to her car.
"Bye." I answered back as she got in her car.
