This was extremely rushed, and didn't come out how I wanted it to. But at least it's done. :)

Kyla's head was resting on Aiden's shoulder as she playfully outlined the contours of his hand. It was the Monday morning after the fated weekend, and while their relationship status had yet to be confirmed, neither was being shy about how they felt. Aiden preened at Kyla's attention, and more than one curious head turned to where they were sitting – somehow privately – in the middle of the quad.

Suddenly, Kyla's head came up off the boy's shoulder.

"Uh oh." She murmured.

The couple's intimate spot in the courtyard was about to be turned into a front row seat for a verbal blood bath. Spencer and Ashley had found each other for the first time in school. Each was on a different side of the open-air hallway that bled into quad, and they were both storming towards each other.

"Hmm?" Aiden mumbled back to his would-be girlfriend, wondering if Kyla would like it if he walked her to her next class.

Kyla just motioned with a nod of her head in the direction of the two girls who were now directly in front of each other. He finally spotted them but instead of concern painting his face like Kyla's, he just looked exasperated. Aiden didn't understand why Spencer was acting up so much lately. She never acted like this, at least not until Ashley had showed up, and he was starting to get sick of it.

"I don't get it," he sighed. "Why don't they like each other?"

The conversation between the two girls across the way was starting to look more harsh by the second. Spencer appeared ready to slap Ashley upside the head and the brunette was clenching and unclenching her fists. People who could stare as fiercely and passionately as Spencer and Ashley were at each other were obviously enemies.

"I dunno. I thought opposites were supposed to attract… and it doesn't get much more opposite than those two."

He glanced down at Kyla.

"What do you mean?"

"Just look at them, Aiden. Spencer is everything Ashley has tried to avoid being in life, and vice versa I bet. It's why I think Spencer's so interesting. Because she's such a huge change from what I have to put up with from Ashley."

"Now that you mention it," the boy started slowly. "Ashley does wear a lot of black and Spencer wears a lot of white…"

"I wasn't specifically talking about physical differences, sweetie, but that's another thing! Look at how… blonde Spencer is. There is nothing blonde about Ashley."

Aiden nodded in agreement but continued to stare at the girls. If someone were to walk by, not understanding the situation, they might think Ashley and Spencer were about to kiss by how close their faces were. Oh, how wrong that person would be.

What Kyla originally thought would be a shouting match to be remembered for the ages had turned into a heated whisper-fight. Definitely not Ashley's typical fighting style. Kyla wasn't sure what was making her sister moderate her voice, but she was glad. Actually, Kyla didn't know why Ashley was moderating herself at all. So far there had been no shoving or pushing or hair pulling on top of the no yelling. Maybe it was because she was remembering how much her sister liked Spencer.

Just as quickly as the confrontation started, though, Spencer ended it by throwing her arms into the air and walking away from the brunette girl down the hall. Ashley copied the motion in complete frustration and stomped towards the quad. Stomped right up to Kyla and Aiden, in fact.

She sat down on the other side of the pair and let out a growl.

"Aiden, what the fuck is her problem?"

He wasn't used to having a girl drop the f-bomb. Spencer tried never to use it. But Ashley using it made him smile. He girnned at her, about to answer, but Kyla managed to start talking first.

"Ashley! What is your problem? You don't have to start a fight with her everytime you see her now just because you've set your heart against liking her. She was just walking down the hall, for pete's sake! You couldn't just let her be, could you?"

Aiden cleared his throat to point out that Spencer could have just as easily tried to let Ashley alone and that Ashley wasn't fully to blame in this circumstance, but was again interrupted by one of the Davies sisters.

"You know what, Kyla? It's not my fault you picked a total nutcase for a friend. She was the one who started a fight with me!"

Why was it that Aiden was the only one who could see that both the girls had equal blame?

"What is there even to fight about?" Kyla asked, slightly furious with her sister's behavior.

"Everything! She's just annoying."

"She is not!"

"Yes, she is!"

"No way." Kyla said, flat out refusing to listen to Ashley.

"Yes!"

Aiden cringed at how shrill Ashley could make her voice when indignant.

"I have an idea," he said quickly before either girl could get another word in. "Name one thing about Spencer that you like."

"Nothing." Ashley answered automatically, earning a glare from Kyla.

"Try and think of something."

The glint in Ashley's eye hinted at the possibilty of Aiden get smacked but she took a moment to try and humor him first. And then another moment to actually think about what he had asked, then another moment to come up with an answer. And a final moment to decide if she should actually say what she came up with or just deny liking anything at all again.

"Her eyes." Ashley grumbled reluctantly.

Kyla's eyebrows shot up. She wasn't expecting her sister to go along with Aiden's question. Without prompting, she also elaborated on why she liked Spencer's eyes, which was even more unexpected.

"They're just, like, really deep, you know? I've never really noticed someone's eyes before but she just looks like she's staring right through you, like she's seen everything I've ever done and is judging me. But then she goes all pyscho and it's like having ice stare at you."

Ashley shivered thinking about the blonde's gaze. It made her uncomfortable, and more than anything Ashley hated to be uncomfortable.

"If I see her again, I'm going to kick her ass."

Kyla doubted her sister's threat. If it didn't happen in the hallway just now, it probably never was going to, but she let Ashley lie to herself. Without another word, Ashley got up from the table and took off down a different hallway than the one Spencer had used earlier, not even bothering to say good bye to her sister or Aiden.

Kyla gazed up at Aiden. He looked back.

"That was weird." She said.

He just nodded.
