"Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser
And realize that I've got (I've got)
One less problem without ya!"
(From Ariana Grande's hit "Problem")

Ashlee: 

        As I walk down the hallway of Amethyst High School, I see Spencer Lockhart. I look at her with a half smile, but I don't think she notices me. 'I have to tell her', I think as I watch her place a binder in her locker. I walk over to her, she gives me a quick glance, then turns back and looks at her locker. But, I ignore this and stand right next to her.

        "Hey Spencer.", I say with a half smile. "What do you what Ashlee?", she asks, not looking at me. "I just wanted to tell you something.", I say. "Okay, go.", she says, closing her locker and walking away. "What did you dream about last night?", I ask, walking behind her. "What's it to you?", she asks. "Did you dream you were in the woods last night?", I ask. 

        She instantly stops and turns back around. "H-how did you know that?", she asks, a look of anger and fear in her eyes. "Because I did too. And...you were in it.", I tell her. She looks around and quickly grabs my arm. She then takes me into the janitors closet and turns on the light. "Okay Crawford. How could you possibly have had the same dream as me?", she asks. 
       
        "I was kind of hoping to get the answer from you Lockhart.", I say, looking down at her. We both think for a moment,then she says, "It could be because of...who we are." I nod my head and say, "That could be it. But...that makes no sense. If we barley even see or speak to each other, how could be possibly be connected like that?" "I don't know. But...I have enough problems in my life and I don't need you making another one.", she replies, opening the door and walking off in a huff.

        I roll my eyes and chase after her. "You know you can't avoid me. Just because our families have...differences, that doesn't mean we can't get answers from each other on somethings.", I say. "Well actually, I does. You see, our familes hate each other, and for very legidimate reasons. And because of those reasons, we can't get answers from one another. So, goodbye Ashlee.", she responds, shoving past me and heading off to class. I lick my lips to not say anything else and head off to soccer practice; hoping to find answers myself.
