Ring Ring!

Spencer scrambled oukt form undr Ashley, grabbed her phone from her bag and answered it.

Spencer: hello?

Madison: Spencer! I waited for you at school for like an hour, where’d you go? It’s like you were MIA or something!

Spencer: Sorry Madison, I’m just hanging out with. . . (looks over at Ashley, who looks rather dissapointed) . . . a, a friend.

Madison: mmhmm, now would this friend happen to be a famous rock star?

Spencer: huh? what I’m sorry, I can’t hear you. . . .

Madison: Spencer, hello? Can you hear me?

Spencer: No I can’t, sorry bye! (hangs up)

Madison: Wait, how come you responded then? Hello? dang, that girl always hangs up on me!

Spencer and Ashley just stood there awkwardly.

Spencer: so, um I think, . . . I think I’m gonna take off.

Ashley: Oh, really? We could go get something to eat or you know watch TV or whatever.

Spencer: no, I’m just gonna go. (turns and starts walking out of the room)

Ashley: Spencer, wait. (spencer stops but doesn’t turn around) Are you just going to pretend like that didn’t just happen?

Spencer: Ashley, nothing did happen.

Ashley: We, we almost kissed! Don’t you think that’s sort of a big deal?

Spencer: No. In fact, I don’t think we need to talk about it ever again!

Ashley: yea, but. . .

Spencer: Ashley! I just . . . I’m not . . . (sigh) I have to go!

And with that, she was gone. Spencer had called Glen to come pick her up a couple of blocks away since she had been walking.

Later on that night, Spencer was on her computer working on a paper when an IM popped up.

Sexyrebel: Hey can you talk?

Spencebaby: who is this?

Sexyrebel: Ashley

Spencebaby: oh, how do know my screen name?

Sexyrebel: I have connections. . . . and I asked Madison before school was over.

Spencebaby: oh, ok

Sexyrebel: r u busy?

Spencebaby: well I"m doing homework. . .  but i suppose I could spare some time

Sexyrebel: cool, can i pick you up?

Spencebaby: . . . yea, i guess

Spencer gave Ashley directions to her house and Ashley was there within 15 minutes. She walked downstairs and saw her dad watching the news.
