Thank you for the reviews. Yes Spinelli is warming up to those activities, which Ashley A can use to her own advantage. Yes tennis would be a good way to get exercise, if Ashley A didn't already have plans to make Spinelli join the cheerleading squad. Her plan is almost coming to fruition. She doesn't need to do a lot of pushing anymore to get Spinelli to join their clique. As for this story being more plausible than 'one of them', well there could be something to that. Well it certainly would be in character for Ashley A to continue to want Spinelli to join their clique. It's easier for her to do it now than when the rest of the gang is around. Now Spinelli doesn't have her friends around, and Ashley A is her only company. But she mostly just doesn't want Spinelli to embarrass her or any of the other Ashleys. So now onto the chapter.
Chapter 17: One final push
A few days had passed since Spinelli went to the country club with Ashley A, and she had honestly enjoyed herself. It was now Friday, and they were having breakfast, when Spinelli asked the blonde. "So, when are we leaving for the country club today."
"We're not going to the club today Ashley S." The blonde answered.
Okay, so when are we going to the club again."
"About that. We're, like, not going to the club again. I mean You wouldn't be able to afford it on your own. I can afford it, and I allowed you to come with me, because you're staying with me during the summer. But once summer's over, you'll go back to your own life. Though you could continue to come, if."
"If what."
"If say that you, like, chose to join the Ashleys. I mean you'll still be my friend if you did it, but you, like, don't want to join our clique, so no more trips to the country club, and no benefiting from the perks that I receive." Ashley A knew that she had the brunette hooked, and this was the final push she needed in order to join the Ashleys. Her one true destiny.
As Ashley A was about to walk away from the table, Spinelli said. "I want to join the Ashleys." She was shocked by the fact that she herself had admitted to wanting to join the Ashleys. She had never seen herself as an Ashley, but summer was almost over, and it was time to move forward with her life. There was so many perks to becoming a part of that clique.
Ashley A smirked to herself, without the brunette noticing. Spinelli was finally hooked. She had finally gotten the former tomboy to see the light. But she still started to talk. "Are you, like, absolutely sure that you want to be an Ashley. If you say yes, then there's no looking back. Once you're an Ashley, you're an Ashley for life. No walking away."
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Okay well then, we have some things we need to take care of, before our party next week. First, we need to continue to teach you how to walk in high heels, then there is your posture. But for now, let's go up to my room, because we have some things to discuss."
They then went up to the blonde's room, where Ashley A found a large book, and opened in, turning it to one particular page, where the rest of the Ashleys names are. She then started talking. "As an Ashley, you must write your name in our rule book. It's changed a bit over the years, but there are certain rules that follows through all the time. For starters, you must write 'Ashley S' under Ashley T. Then it will, like, be official that you're one of us. After that, we must teach you how to use the word 'like' in your sentences. Then you must learn how to say 'scandalous' along with the rest of us, and finally, you must learn how to gossip. Now do you, like, remember all that, and are you, like, still sure you want to become an Ashley."
"Yes I can remember all that, and Yes I want to become an Ashley."
"Totally great. Now start by signing your name in the Ashley book, and then I can teach you how gossip."
Spinelli then wrote 'Ashley S' in the Ashley rule book, making it official that she was now a member of the Ashley clique. Afterwards Ashley A suggested that they go through Spinelli's new clothes one more time. Spinelli needed to be an absolute expert on putting together an outfit. Ash an Ashley, the brunette had to be perfect. She had to stand out from the rest of her peers but fit in with the rest of the other Ashleys. As Spinelli continued to show the blonde what she had learned, the blonde was satisfied. Spinelli now knew everything she had been taught on putting together an outfit, how to style her hair, and how to do her makeup. The only things Spinelli needed to learn now, was how to gossip, how to use the word 'like' in her sentences, how to say 'scandalous' along with the rest of her new clique. And she just needed to get her posture in order, and then she would be perfect.
Soon enough it became time for lunch, and they went down to get something to eat.
While they were eating, Ashley A started talking. "You know Ashley S, as an Ashley you must totally learn how to gossip. That is, like, super important. So is there anyone that you, like, want to gossip about."
"Not anyone that I can think off."
"Oh really, well what about Peter. You, like, seemed to like him when we were at the country club."
"He's not so bad."
"Isn't he, like, super cute."
"I guess so."
"He's, like, also super rich, which is, like, super important now that you're an Ashley. So now, is there anyone from our elementary school that you, like, totally dislike."
"Uhm, I kind of dislike Randall, because he was a snitch in elementary school."
"Oh my gosh, he is, like, such a rat."
"He kind of is, and he does look like a rat."
"See now wasn't it, like, super fun to gossip about someone that you totally dislike."
I guess so."
Ashley A was thrilled that she could finally get the brunette to start gossiping about others. She was not good at it yet, but she would get there. Ashley A was sure that the brunette would be an expert on gossiping once they started middle school. She just needed the extra practice, but she would get there eventually."
Once they were almost done with lunch, the phone rang. Ashley A went over to get the phone.
"Hello, Armbruster resident, Ashley speaking."
"Oh hello Ashley, this is Flo Spinelli."
"Oh hello Mrs. Spinelli, how are you and Mr. Spinelli. How is your trip since you're coming home soon."
"Well that's why I'm calling. We've decided to come home a little sooner."
Oh really, well how much sooner."
"Around a week earlier. We wanted to surprise Ashley. Do we need to come and pick her up earlier."
"Oh nonsense, we're having so much fun, but I have an idea on how you can make it up to her. How about you redecorate her room. It would be like a gift since you couldn't take her on your vacation."
"Oh that sounds like a wonderful idea, I will get started on it Monday. I always wanted to redecorate her room, and now I have the chance."
"Oh well about that, maybe you shouldn't tell her. Just let her know that you are coming home Saturday evening instead but will still pick her up Sunday. Now did you want to talk to your daughter."
"Yes please, will you get her for me."
"Of course"
With that, Ashley A went to go find the brunette. She found her at the table and said. "Ashley S, your mom is on the phone."
Spinelli then went to go pick up the phone. She picked it up and said. "Hello."
"Oh hi Ashley."
"Hi mom."
"So, are you girls still getting along."
"Yes of course. So how's dad."
"Oh he's good. But the reason that I am calling now, is to tell you that we will be coming home a day earlier, but we will still pick you up next Sunday"
"Okay." Spinelli said before she hung up the phone, before going back to the table.
Once they were done with lunch, Ashley A suggested that Spinelli should continue to work on her posture, all while she continued to learn how to walk in high heels. She needed to be perfect in time for the party.
While Spinelli was walking in a pair of heels with a book on her head, Ashley A started talking. Okay Ashley S, now that you are an Ashley, you must start to use the word 'like' in your sentences, and you must start to say scandalous alongside the rest of us. Try to say something but use the word 'like' in your sentence."
"Okay." Spinelli said, before she started talking. "Hello, my name is Ashley Spinelli. I am, like, having the summer of my life. It's, like, super scandalous."
"That is super good, but you, like, need more practice, otherwise it was perfect. She had finally taught the brunette everything she needed to know in order to be an Ashley. It would all come to a test at the party. If she behaved well at the party, then that would mean that she was a perfect Ashley, and all of the blonde's hard work would finally be paid off.
Next chapter: the party.
So, that is it for chapter 17, hope you all enjoyed it.
