This one is a bit short, but I had to get it out of the way. Things might start picking up a bit more now, time wise. I have a few things in mind that will be happening, so bear with me. As always, review away or DM me if you want. Let me know what you think. Oh, and I don't know the S.O.N. people or own any rights to the show or anything.
I do however own the words and the personal story this is based upon.
After the drinking game, Ashley decided she needed to take a break. Her face was bright red which was a very clear indication that she was well passed buzzed. Spencer had developed a very comfortable buzz during the game and was starting to loosen up around the group of people.
"Hey, let's go sit on the couch and just listen to music for a while." Ashley slurred, pulling Spencer towards the couch. Spencer laughed as she helped Ashley maneuver her way around a few chairs before falling on the couch, drink still in hand.
"Your friends seem cool." Ashley smiled her signature nose crinkling smile and nodded, taking a sip of her drink. "You know, with all of those shots you had, you should really drink water."
"Hey!" Emily bounced down next to Spencer, handing both girls bottles of water. "I figured you might need these, those games get pretty intense, which is why I tend to sit and sip for a while."
"You liar, you were completely... what's the word Trey used? Fashnukered? Fershnu- Fra- I don't know but you were gooooone last weekend." Ashley laughed, then concentrated on trying to figure out the word she'd been trying to say.
"Don't hurt yourself Ash." Spencer nudged Ashley who immediately smiled at the nickname. "Drink the water, trust me you'll thank me later." Ashley flipped the top off the water and started to empty the bottle.
"Whoa there speed racer, slow down." Spencer grabbed the bottle.
"Yeah Ash, you'll end up getting even more sick."
"We should play a game!" Ashley declared. "Do you want to play? I feel like playing football."
"Sweetie it's too cold outside to play football." Emily reasoned.
"Fine, then I'll play it E-lec-tronically." Ashley sounded out, trying to sound more sober than she was. "Want to play me Spencer?"
"You go ahead, I'll watch." Spencer smiled.
"Oh well, Tim, come play football with me!" Ashley yelled, but realized that Tim was already right next to her. "Oh, sorry. You game?" Tim nodded and grabbed the controller.
"Well, now that she's lost in this game for a while, what's your story?" Emily asked, setting her drink down on the nearby table.
"Um, what do you mean?" Spencer was nervous, she'd just met this girl and already she was getting hit with questions.
"I mean, what are you going to school for, how do you know Aiden, How'd you meet Ashley?" Emily picked her drink up, her tongue darting out to find her straw before she wrapped her lips around it and began drinking, her eyes still locked on Ashley.
"Well, I came here on a swimming scholarship, but that didn't work out, so I'm trying to do something with Kinesiology for now. I'm not really sure what I'm doing right now. I met Aiden in a class and I met Ashley through Aiden not too long ago."
"Hmm, very interesting. Ok, well that's all." Emily bounced up in her seat and started talking to Trey.
Spencer turned to look at Ashley. Her face was still pretty red, but she could tell in her eyes that the water, and the concentration of the game was beginning to wear off the alcohol effect, though not very quickly. She watched as Tim and Ashley tried distracting the other by swatting at their controllers. How her face would light up when her team would make a great play and how she would gloat until Tim's team retaliated and she became more determined. Her face would scrunch when something bad happened. She was starting to really like Ashley. Something about her was different than anyone else she'd known. But was this a good thing? What if she wasn't interested? She watched how Ashley acted around Tim, maybe they had something going on.
"Don't worry, they're just friends." Emily whispered having noticed the conflict on Spencer's face.
"Um, ok. I think I better go, it's getting pretty late." Spencer stood up and waved to those that weren't spectating the fictitious game then turned to Ashley.
"I'll talk to you later Spence." Spencer immediately paused her game and handed the controller to someone else to finish the game.
Spencer and Ashley walked towards the door.
"I hope you had fun, sorry if the video game thing was boring. I just couldn't drink anymore shots. Usually it's Trey and his brother playing Mario Kart or 007 or something. I hang out with nerds."
"Relax, it's fine, I had fun. I just need to get back I'm supposed to work tomorrow and I don't want to be in too bad of shape. I'll talk to you later though." Spencer quickly hugged Ashley before turning and walking back towards her dorm.
