Summary: This is the story of a girl. A girl who simply didn't fit in. A girl who always tried to do her best, but in turn just made everything a bigger mess. She finally just gave up on life. She realized that it didn't matter what she did, everything just thought she was a screw up, so a screw up is what she became. That is, until she met Spencer Carlin.
Disclaimer: I would love to say that I owned south of nowhere, but I don't. I don't own the characters. But their will be some characters of my creation(:
CHAPTER TWO:
(Ashley's POV)
I spent a long time at the park. Just sitting there. Thinking about what I am doing with my life, and where I am going.
I left the park a little while before school got out. I go to a school across town from where I live, so I have to take a city bus to get to my apartment. I live in a ghetto one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with my alcoholic father and my psychotic grandmother. It is worse than it sounds.
I am currently sitting on my couch ignoring my family's annoying fighting. The lyrics to "Where I'm Going?" by Kottonmouth Kings is blaring in my headphones. I am sitting on myspace just talking to a friend of mine when I get a friend request. That isn't unexpected, because I get a lot of friend requests, a lot of bands or random people who saw me on a bands profile usually. I go to my requests and see that the profile picture is of a blonde girl with a boy with blonde curly hair, they look like siblings. The name is Spencer, who is this guy?
I accept their friend request and decide to go take a look at their profile. It says that they just moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. They are not yet in school, but will be soon. I go to the pictures to find out that the profile actually belongs to the girl.
Spencer can be a girls name too, I guess.
She has blonde hair and striking blue eyes. She is no doubt gorgeous. I don't give it much thought though, and just click back to my homepage. I get bored with myspace soon enough, and decide to check my face book. After working on some things on Café World, I get bored again.
Did I mention I have a short intention span?
I go back to myspace again, and see I have a new message. Its from that Spencer girl. It reads:
"Hey(:
My name is Spencer Carlin, and I just moved to Las Vegas. I see you go to Spring Valley High School, and I just so happen to be starting there on Monday. If you have any time I could use a tour guide (;"
Who is this girl? And why is she asking me to be her tour guide? I guess I don't have much else to do, and its not like I have many friends.
I reply saying that I would be happy to be her tour guide. I give her my phone number and tell her to give me a call this weekend so we can figure it all out. I leave my laptop on the couch and get up to grab an orange.
Is it unhealthy to eat too many oranges? Damn, I have been like living off these things for the past two days. Damn family not having anything for a vegetarian to eat.
I hear my phone buzzing on the couch as I walk back in the living room. I pick it up and see that it is a number I don't recognize. Since my family likes to eavesdrop on my conversations, I walk outside and answer my phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, is this Ashley?" Comes from the other end.
"Uh, yeah. Who is this?" This persons voice is like honey. It has this smoothness and calming effect.
"This is Spencer. From myspace. You said you might be available to show me around Spring Valley?" Just after seeing her picture and hearing her voice, I would do anything for this girl. Whoa, what am I thinking? I don't even know this girl!
"Yeah sure. But mind you now, I am not exactly popular. In fact you could call me a social outcast. Just so you know what you are getting into." Might as well be honest before we go through this.
"Good. I don't really like popular people." she adds a little giggle at the end of her words, "Anyways, if you are up for it, I was thinking we could meet up in front of the school tomorrow and get to know each other before Monday, and I can show you my schedule if you like."
"Uh yeah sure. I will meet you there at noon. But I have to go, so just text me tomorrow morning so I know you are still up for it." I hear my dad yell something at me, and I know I better get off the phone before he comes outside and she hears it.
"Ok great. Bye Ashley."
"Goodbye Spencer."
I hang up quickly and walk inside. My dad yells something about laundry. I shut off my laptop and down the last of some juice out of the bottle. I yell that I am not doing anything and I go to my air mattress on the floor of the living room.
Sure its only eight, but what else is there to do? Plus I have plans tomorrow.
I set my alarm for eight am. And slowly fade off to sleep. My dreams are invaded by Summer, the girl who broke my heart, then I see the morning she left. I see her driving away, and me breaking down. I wake up gasping for breath and sweating. I calm myself down, lay back down, and go back to my delightful nightmare.
A/N: So what do you think? Reviews are appreciated. I will try and write longer chapters when I figure out where I am going with this.
