"Hey Spencer did you have fun at Chelsea's?" My mom asks when I walk through the door.
"Yup" was my simple reply and I walk straight to the stairs.
"Wait!" I let out a loud breath and turn around. "What happened to your old phone? Glen said you needed to buy a new one."
"I dropped and it broke." I really don't feel like talking to her right now, so I race up the stairs before she gets the chance to reply. I am still pissed at her how she acted when she found out that I had a gay friend, like seriously Paula get over it. She's gay; it's not going to kill you.
I get to my room and decide to go for a run. I have a lot on my mind, and normally I would write in my journal, but today I don't want to be in the house so a run sounds good right about now. After changing into shorts and a sports bra, I run out the house to avoid any more conversations.
Any other time I go for a run, I would take my IPod, but today I have so much already on my mind that I have no need for music.
I think about how Paula will react to finding out that I am gay. I know she won't be happy and throw me a coming out party, that's for sure. I know my dad will be fine because he's a therapist and he talks to teens about this all the time. I guess she will just have to accept it, because one day I will bring a girlfriend home to meet my family.
Speaking of girlfriends, I start to smile when I think of Ashley. I really like her and it sucks that she is with Aiden. If she wasn't I don't know if anything would happen between us or not. I mean she is straight but she does flirt with me all the time. It is just so confusing with her.
LAbabe4u on the other hand is straight up, in a way. She's gay but she is kind of in the closet. I wish I knew her personally. She has an amazing personality and I always laugh whenever I talk to her, just like when I'm with Ashley. It sucks that I will never meet her because I would have more of a chance with her than I do with Ashley.
And then there's Kendra. She is hot and she seems interested, so why not go for it, right? I could use some experience with other girls. I just realized that I don't know much about her other than the fact that she plays ball and she is a lesbian. Maybe if I get to know her, I will like her as much as I like Ashley.
I look up and noticed that I am only a few houses down from my house. I guess I made it around the block already. I pick up my pace and head into the house.
I take an extra-long shower and let the hot water run down my body. After my shower I change into something comfortable. As I turn on my TV, I hear my phone go off. I look at it and notice that there's a notification from the Gay Chat app that I downloaded last night.
LAbabe4u: Hey
SLC823: Hi! How are you doing?
LAbabe4u: I'm good and you?
SLC823: I just came back from a nice run, and now I'm relaxing.
LAbabe4u: I wish I could relax. I'm at my 'boyfriend's' house because he had some dilemma.
SLC823: You say it like it's not a big deal. Is he ok?
LAbabe4u: Yea he is fine, well he will be once he calms down.
SLC823: That's good, right?
LAbabe4u: Yea but I might kill him first.
SLC823: geesh that's harsh.
LAbabe4u: Yea I know but he interrupted me when I was out.
SLC823: What were you doing?
LAbabe4u: Well there's this girl
SLC823: Say no more, I can do without the details
LAbabe4u: But that's thing, we weren't doing anything.
SLC823: Wait what? Are pigs flying?
LAbabe4u: Haha funny. But I'm serious, I actually like this girl.
SLC823: Whoa, that's a first.
LAbabe4u: I know and she doesn't even know that I like her.
SLC823: Wait so this is the first girl you actually don't want to just fuck and you haven't told her yet?
LAbabe4u: Nope
SLC823: Well why not?
LAbabe4u: Well it's complicated
SLC823: I have time. Explain.
LAbabe4u: Well you know how everyone at my school thinks I'm straight?
SLC823: yea and?
LAbabe4u: She goes to my school, and she thinks I'm straight
SLC823: Ohh. Do you know if she's gay or straight?
LAbabe4u: She's gay. I just found out today actually
SLC823: ohh. Why didn't you tell her then too? I mean she had the guts to tell you.
LAbabe4u: Yea I know but I was afraid. I mean she thinks I'm completely straight with a boyfriend. She will think that I'm a liar and will probably never talk to me again.
SLC823: I'm sure that if you explained to her then she will understand.
LAbabe4u: I hope so. I have a lot to think about.
SLC823: You and me both. That's why I went on my run.
LAbabe4u: I thought you usually wrote when you needed to think.
SLC823: Aww you remembered! And yea I usually do, but my mom is here and I didn't want to stay here.
LAbabe4u: Oh understandable. I never have that problem though. I'm always home alone if the 'boyfriend' is over.
SLC823: I'm sorry. Don't you get lonely?
LAbabe4u: Yea but I can't really do anything about it.
SLC823: I'll come visit you one day!
LAbabe4u: Lol one day. So how did it go with your friend?
SLC823: Oh wow. It was good. We went clubbing and had a nice talk today.
LAbabe4u: Oh which club?
SLC823: Rage in West Hollywood
LAbabe4u: Seriously?
SLC823: Yea why? Is that bad or something?
LAbabe4u: No but I was there too.
SLC823: Are you kidding me? We could have met up!
LAbabe4u: I know! Next time you go to a club let me know and maybe we can meet up.
SLC823: Yes we need to. You owe me a dance.
LAbabe4u: I owe you?
SLC823: That's what I wrote.
LAbabe4u: You are demanding Oprah.
SLC823: I know but you love it anyway.
LAbabe4u: haha this is true. I've always had a thing for you.
SLC823: I knew it! We could have been together a long time ago if you would have said something Gayle.
LAbabe4u: I know but Stedman was always in the way.
SLC823: Well he is gone now so we have nothing to worry about.
LAbabe4u: The way I've always wanted it.
SLC823: Lol you are silly.
LAbabe4u: But you wouldn't have me any other way.
SLC823: Very true. What would I do without you?
LAbabe4u: Nothing, you would die.
SLC823: Dramatic much?
"Spencer, dinner!" I hear from downstairs. I sigh and look back at the phone.
LAbabe4u: That's me!
SLC823: Cute. But I have to go. Will you be on later?
LAbabe4u: No, I'm going out tonight
SLC823: I thought you liked that girl?
LAbabe4u: I do, I'm just going with my 'boyfriend' I don't want to go. I would talk to you all night if I could.
SLC823: aww. I don't know how you do it, but you always seem to make me blush.
LAbabe4u: lol that's just one of my talents.
SLC823: I'm sure you have many of those.
LAbabe4u: Wouldn't you like to know?
SLC823: I have to go actually. I'll talk to you later.
LAbabe4u: Haha later Oprah
SLC823: bye Gayle
I put my phone on my bed and go downstairs for dinner. During dinner, I thought about how jealous I felt when LAbabe4u told me about this girl that she likes. I mean I shouldn't feel jealous because we aren't together; I just like her a lot. I think this is the girl that will make her change her ways as she told me before. I just wish that girl were me.
Monday was the day that the plan would begin, and finally the day has come. When I pull up to the school, I see a few other cars there already. I get out and walk over to our normal table in the quad and see Chelsea and Carmen sitting there. And this time when I get close, they don't separate, finally.
"Hey lovers" I tease as I sit down.
"Hey Spence" "Sup" They say at the same time. They start talking about art, and I get bored so I take out my phone. Going through my apps, I smile and open one.
SLC823: I hate being up this early
LAbabe4u: I know what you mean
LAbabe4u: Wait, why are you on, shouldn't you be at school?
"So my parents are going away this weekend, and I'm throwing a party. I think that will be perfect for us to officially start the plan." Chelsea says bringing my attention back to her.
"That sounds like a good idea." I smile. "Are you going to invite her or should I?"
"You should, it will add to the plan." Carmen says to me.
"I like the way you think. I'll invite her when I see her."
SLC823: I am at school. I'm using my phone.
LAbabe4u: Oh I see you finally got the app.
SLC823: Yea I got a new phone and I found it
LAbabe4u: awesome, now I won't be bored in my classes
SLC823: exactly what I was thinking.
"Oh look who just showed up." I hear Carmen say. I look up to see Ashley getting out of Aiden's car looking hot as hell. She is wearing a black mini skirt, and a tight tank top. I can't take my eyes off of her.
"You might want to wipe the drool off your face before she gets any closer." Chelsea laughs and I glare at her, but I wipe my face because I'm sure she wasn't lying. I look back over to her and she sees me and smiles. Then she gives Aiden a hug and I roll my eyes and turn around.
"Hey ladies" she says as she takes a seat next to me, very close not that I'm complaining.
We all respond with some sort of greeting.
She turns all of her attention on me. "So how was the rest of your weekend?"
"Ok. I worked out and did homework, nothing to brag about. What about you?"
"I went out with Aiden Saturday night and did homework on Sunday. So yea, not much to brag about either." That's confusing; usually girls like to brag about their boyfriends. Why doesn't she seem to like Aiden?
"Isn't going out with your boyfriend fun?" Chelsea asks, taking the question right out of my mouth.
She shifts a little. "Well yea it is, but we uh didn't do anything special."
After she says this, it gets silent. Carmen and Chelsea are probably wondering how odd Ashley seems to be when she talks about Aiden.
"Spence, do we still have Lit together after lunch?" Chelsea says breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Yea that's one of the two classes that stayed the same." I sigh and take out my schedule.
"Why did you change your schedule?" Ashley asks.
"I had to so that I could add a class for basketball practice."
"Oh can I see it, we might have some classes together." I hand her the paper. I'm kind of hoping that we don't have any classes together because I know that I won't pay attention and that I will be distracted by her. On the other hand, I want a class with her because I would get to see her more. So I have mixed feelings right now.
"Oh yay, we have two classes together, first and fourth!" She seems really excited about this, I wonder why.
"Really that's awesome. Now you can do my homework for me." I tease.
"Or we can just do it together." She smiles at me, and I blush. I don't know why but I do.
The bell rings before I have a chance to respond. Thank God because I don't think I would have been able to talk.
Ashley stands up and brings me with her. "We are going to get to class, see you later!" She says and drags me towards class. I wave back at Chelsea and Carmen who seems to have amused looks on their faces.
We got to the class and after I told the teacher why I was joining her class so late, she let me sit in the back next to Ashley. I have a feeling that that was a bad move on her part.
And I was right because as soon as she started talking, a note landed on my desk.
I had fun with you this weekend.
I looked up at Ashley and she was looking at the teacher, acting like she didn't just give me this note.
Me too, we should have done that a long time ago. I reply and put the note on her desk.
She smiles and writes something down, then hands it back to me.
I know, why haven't I met you before last week?
I'm not a very social person, well I wasn't. Is what I write before sending it her way.
She throws the paper on my desk and I smile when I read: Well either way, I'm glad we met. I think we are going to be great friends.
I think so too. Hey do you want to go to a party this weekend? I hope she says yes.
If you will be there then I would love to. Where at? I blush when I read this.
Chelsea's
Cool then I'll see you there.
Good now pay attention before you get both of us in trouble. I write. I go back to listening because I think that she isn't going to write back. Wrong. I see the paper on my desk again. I look at her and she is taking notes.
I laugh inwardly and look at the note.
: P
I giggle at the note and she looks at me. When she does I stick my tongue out at her.
For the rest of the class, we take notes while stealing glances at each other.
I was sad to leave when I went to second period. I couldn't send notes or stare at Ashley.
LAbabe4u: Do you think I would get in trouble if I put duct tape on my teacher's mouth so that she would shut the hell up?
SLC823: lol just a little
LAbabe4u: He won't shut up! I feel like I'm in Charlie Brown's class room. Everything he says is blah blah blah.
SLC823: haha I'm sorry. What class is it?
LAbabe4u: History
SLC823: That makes sense. Be a good girl and pay attention
LAbabe4u: I'm far from a good girl ; )
SLC823: you never stop do you?
LAbabe4u: Nope, I wouldn't be me if I did
SLC823: true but who says that's a bad thing?
LAbabe4u: Oh you are sooo funny.
SLC823: I wasn't trying to be, I was being serious
LAbabe4u: My feelings are hurt
I don't get a chance to respond because the bell rings. I pick up my things and head to my next class. When the class gets going, I take out my phone again.
SLC823: I'm sorry let me kiss and make it feel better.
LAbabe4u: Too late, I don't want your kisses
SLC823: Please everyone wants my kisses.
LAbabe4u: I think I'm rubbing off on you
SLC823: lol I think so too. Normally I would never say that. I guess I shouldn't talk to you so much.
I decide to take some notes, so that I won't fail the class.
LAbabe4u: Like you can resist.
I almost laugh out loud when I read that.
SLC823: I'm sure I can.
LAbabe4u: Ok fine, I won't IM you for the rest of the day.
SLC823: have it your way
I paid attention for the rest of class, and smiled when I went to fourth period. You get one guess as to why I was so happy.
"You should change your schedule so that we have all of our classes together." She says as she takes a seat next to me in the back again.
"Aww did you miss me?" I say in the teasing baby voice.
"Not really, but it is just fun to have someone to talk to in my classes." She smirks.
I put my hand up to my heart and give her a hurt look. "Thanks for the boost in self-esteem."
"No problem" She is such a smart ass, but for some reason I like that about her.
The teacher walks in soon after and gets straight to work. We aren't able to pass notes this time because the teacher actually makes us do work in this class. I actually like this class because it's interesting and the teacher isn't boring.
A few times during the class, I look at Ashley. Sometimes I will catch her glancing down at her phone, and sighing. I wonder what that's about.
The bell rings after the fifty minute class and I pack up my things.
"Do you care if I sit with you at lunch?" Ashley asks nervously.
"You can sit wherever you like." I laugh and we walk out of the class. I bump into someone as soon as I walk through the door.
"Oh hey Carlin." I hear from the person I just bumped into. I look up to see Kendra smiling at me, and her green eyes twinkling in the sun. It's sad though, because her eyes have nothing on Ashley's.
"Hey Kendra, what's up?" I smile at her.
"Nothing, happy that it's finally lunch time. How about you?"
"Same here, I hate Mondays." We laugh, but Ashley just stands there with an unreadable look on her face.
"Are you ready for the first official practice today?" She questions.
"Not really, but it has to start sometime right?" I grin and she nods. I look past her and see Chelsea giving me a look. "So you have any plans this weekend?"
Ashley gives me a look that says 'what the fuck?' and Kendra just smiles and says "No, why did you want to hang out?" And she gets a little closer to me.
"Yea my friend is throwing a party and I want you to come." I smile and touch her arm. From the corner of my eye, I see Ashley look at my movement. Oh it's working.
"S-sure I'll be there. What's the address?" She seems to have trouble getting that out. Hmm I like this affect that I have on her.
"How about I pick you up instead?" I tilt my head and smile.
"S-sounds good. Text me when you come. You have my number right?' Kendra says unsurely.
"Actually no, I got a new phone. Can you give it to me again please?" I say sweetly and hand her my phone.
"Of course." And she puts her number in my phone before handing it back to me.
"I'll see you in seventh period." I hug her. "Bye Kendra." I say before walking away and Ashley follows. I get to the table and Carmen and Chelsea smiles at me obviously seeing the whole thing.
"What was that?" Ashley asks kind of harsh.
"What was what?" I ask innocently.
"Flirting with Kendra!" She practically yells.
"Well I told you that I was gay remember? You do know that that means I like girls, right?" I ask playfully.
"No shit Spencer. Why Kendra of all girls?"
"Well I like her. What's wrong with that?"
"I- nothing. I just think you can do better." She sighs and looks away. I follow her line of vision and see that she's looking over at the cheerleader table. Maybe she regrets sitting over here.
I look over at Chelsea and she smiles and gives me a thumbs up. I look back at Ashley and she has a sad look on her face. And now I just feel bad. I don't think I want to continue with this plan anymore.
A/N: Thanks for the reviews. I never thought I would get so many. I think this is my longest chapter yet. I didn't think I would finish until the weekend, but I had some time. I have no idea when I'll post the next chapter. It depends on how much time I have. I might post again sometime this week, if not it will be next week. So yea let me know what you think. Oh and if anyone knows of any good Breyton stories that are completed, please let me know. I have only read like two, but I want to read more. Just send a message or something. Thanks for reading!
