So Review and I'll Update!
Spencer's POV
It'd been a week since I saw Ashley at the beach. She hasn't been to class either. I told myself it had nothing to do with me but I couldn't help but have a little bit of doubt in that.
I had just given my students there first writing assignment some seemed eager, some didn't care, and others just started writing. I grabbed my laptop and recorded the attendance and Ashley hasn't been here. I had asked other teachers about her and they said her missing was normal but not normal the first week. Supposedly she had some family issues and had an 'I don't care' attitude. I heard Kyla was her half sister so I called her up to the front hoping to have an answer.
"Yes, Miss Carlin?" She asked nervously. I smiled up at her to relief her thoughts.
"Is Ashley your sister?" I asked curiously. She nodded having her eyes wide open.
"Have you talked to her lately?" I asked sweetly. Kyla seemed extremely nervous.
"Well, I uh.." Kyla started to stutter vastly
"Kyla is she alright? Or is she just playing hooky?" I asked trying to calm her.
It seemed to work a little.
"She's just going through a rough patch she should be coming back soon. I just want to apologize for her behavior a couple classes ago. I don't know what got into her. I want you to know that I am not like that. I don't disrespect you or teachers like that.. not that Ashley is disrespectful or anything she just…" Kyla began to ramble.
"Kyla it's alright. I'm not upset or anything. I was just asking. Rough patch huh?" I asked trying to pry a tad more.
"Yes. She just.." Kyla tried to cover up.
"Just personal." Kyla finished looking up at me hoping I will dismiss her.
I just nod my head and point her back to her seat.
"You can go back to writing." I said turning back around I pulled up Ashley's grades and it didn't appear she was a bad student. Teacher's weren't too fond of her. They just didn't care what happened to her. It befuddled me. She seemed smart and very amusing so why must she have such a reputation. Did she have the wrong impression.
I smiled to myself thinking of Ashley and I's last encounter. I touched my check she kissed and felt myself blush. She had this very charming affect it drove me crazy. It's hard to keep it cool around her but she makes it impossible to let everything out. I was so comfortable laying on her that I had to leave her.
A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I quickly stood up and saw a very serious Principle Wagner.
"Hey Rachael." I said while opening the door.
"Hello Spencer." She said smiling in her eyes.
"Can we talk really quick?" She asked motioning her hand towards the hall. I nodded and stepped outside.
"What's going on?" I asked slightly interested.
"Well, I wanted to talk about Ashley Davies." She said acting disturbed.
"What about Miss. Davies?" I asked.
"Well, I don't know if you've heard about her repel personality… but most of us believe she just doesn't care. The other staff have been thinking of a punishment for her most recent act which you have noticed .. her non constant coming to class." Wagner looked up at me and I nodding agreeing.
"We, the staff, were curious because she is your student assistant if you would put up with her and put her in drama club and make her do something with scenery or be in the play she has advance skills in the music side of academics". Rachael said I could tell she was not practically begging me.
"Why not?" I said smiling at her.
Rachael shock her head in disbelief.
"I wish you luck." She said as she walked back down the hall.
Ashley really wasn't that bad. I'll be more lucky to get her here than actually keep her here.
The bell rang and I walked back into class dismissing all of my students. I called Kyla back up and she looked even more nervous.
"Can you have Ashley get here?" I asked curiously.
Kyla didn't look sure but she pulled out her phone.
"Ash? Hey It's me. I'm with Miss. Carlin and she was curious if you would come to school? .. Yes right now. I don't know Ashley. Well she's right next to me. Okay.. mhm. Okay. Alright. Okay. Alright. Alright. Talk to you later bye." Kyla hung up.
"She'll be here in less than five minutes." Kyla said before leaving the class. I leaned against the desk and waiting for Ashley to walk in.. How did I actually plan for this to go?
I tried not to watch the door when it opened. Ashley walked in and I tried hard not to stare but what was she wearing? She had a jean skirt barely covering half her thigh a loose fitted tank top and her hair lightly on her shoulders. Her red bangs were in a bump on her head.
Her brown eyes were piercing and I stumbled as I grabbed a couple papers off the desk. She smirked slightly as she walked toward me.
"Did I scare you?" She asked leaning again my desk.
"Well. I yes. I didn't hear the door open." I lied.
"Oh. I apologize." She said still smirking.
"Are you alright?" I asked looking at her concerned.
"Yes." She answered confused.
"Well you haven't been to school in a week." I said looking down at her toned legs.
I looked up faster than I looked down. I don't think Ashley saw were my eyes were directed.
"Oh. I just needed a week to take off." She sounded stressed. I turned my head at her hoping to get more. She remained silent and still stared at me.
"Where were you just?" I asked curious as to how she got here so fast.
"I took an extra shift at the shop." She said looking to the right. She was lying.
I raised my eye brows at her and she turned her head to the window and I grabbed her chin and tilted her face to look back at mine.
"Ashley. I know you were not at that pizzeria." I said still holding her soft face in my hand.
"I was at a friend's house." She said she was telling me somewhat of the truth. I'll give her some leeway.
I backed off and dropped her face. She still wouldn't look at me.
"Well. You are helping me out tomorrow. Because you've been absent." I said trying to catch her reaction. She didn't fight she just nodded.
"Where at?" She asked drawing patterns with her feet.
"Here. You are helping out with the drama club." I said sternly.
This caused Ashley to jerk her head up.
"No. I can't do it." She said nervously.
"Why not?" I asked probing.
"Because everyone here doesn't like me." She rubbed her face nervously.
"Ashley. You are just going to help paint some sets and maybe do an audition." I said firmly.
"why?" She asked fighting.
"Well…. If you don't want to you can go ask Wagner. She's the one that requested you to do this for skipping school. I will see you tomorrow at 7. Have a piece to sing and what not." I said walking towards the other side of my desk grabbing my purse and my bags.
"What am I auditioning for?" She asked tensely.
"The school talent show. We do it around homecoming." I said remembering the date.
"That's in like 3 weeks." She replied.
"I'll see you tomorrow Ashley." I said opening the door for her to exit following me.
I walked out to my car and Ashley's walked to the car next to mine. I placed my things in the front seat and tried to start my car. It rambled and Ashley opened her passenger seat.
"I don't need a ride Miss. Davies." I said smiling at her a little frustrated. This would be the third time my car went out this month.
Ashley opened my door and smiled at me.
I groaned as I grabbed my stuff and sat in her passenger seat.
I called the towing company and they came and picked up my car 20 minutes later.
"Does that happen often Miss. Carlin?" Ashley teased.
"Well just lately." I said closing the passenger door.
"So do you care if we go pick up my check before I drop you off at home?" Ashley asked.
"Sure go ahead." I said checking the time on my phone.
"Am I boring you Miss. Carlin?" Ashley asked mocking me.
"No. Ashley. You are not." I said silently looking out the window as I left the school parking lot.
"This doesn't mean that I don't except to see you at school tomorrow though." I finished.
Ashley laughed at me slightly.
"Even though its Saturday?" she teased. I rolled my eyes at her and she smiled wickedly.
"I know what it means." She finished.
"Good." I said smiling to myself.
"So what'd I miss?" She asked turning her turn signal on.
"I had them create a fictional-self story. I wanted them to write me a bio without them really knowing." I answered at her confused face.
"You know I'd tell you anything you want to know." Ashley said putting the car into park. She slid out of her car giving me a wink. I felt my face become a deep velvet color as I ignored the line.
Ashley didn't take long to walk back outside.
"That was fast." I said looking at the envelope in her hand.
"Yeah. I'm not really in the mood to socialize." Ashley said putting the car in reverse and pulling away from the pizzeria. I gave her directions to my house. She pulled into my isolated driveway. We sat in silence as she pulled the car to a complete stop. I felt the car buckle as I undid my seatbelt.
"You know there are other ways to find sexual pleasures than reading them. Miss Carlin." Ashley said looking up at me undo my seat buckle.
"Excuse me?" I asked confused.
"I can be your Christian Grey." Ashley winked at me as I stumbled out of the car blushing.
She must have seen what book I was reading at the beach.
I grabbed my purse and walked to my door to see a very eager Ashley behind me.
"Did I forget something?" I asked.
"Do you need a ride tomorrow to drama club?" She asked ignoring her earlier statement.
"I'll let you know." I said looking down at my feet.
"That means your going to need my number." Ashley said.
"Well you would already have mine." I spat back coldly. This made Ashley jump back. She frowned a deep frown before sulking back to her car.
"Ashley wait." I said cursing to myself for stopping her.
I grabbed a piece of paper out of the bottom of my purse and scribbled my number on it with an almost empty pen.
"This time you should use it." I said sternly.
"Call me in the morning and I will let you know." I said before unlocking my door.
"Is there a time that you awaken angel?" Ashley smiled.
"five. On the dot." I smiled. Ashley's face dropped and she shook her head before climbing back into her black car and pulling away.
