how to survive 8th grade

Chapter seventeen

(Spencer's pov)

I was walking home, when i was thinking about Maddie. Oh i love her, but she no longer feels that for me. I'm gonna try to win her back...but then i thought of what happened today, with ariana and her ex. About how she just couldn't have those feelings for him anymore. What if i did ruin things for Maddie and i? If i did, i have to talk to her about it. If i can't be with her, i at least wanna be friends, so that way i can still have her in my life somehow.

I walked to her house. I got to her house and sighed before i knocked on the door. Maddie answers the door and she looks like she had just seen a ghost,"Hey." I said with a raspy voice,"Spencer?" Asked Maddie sadly. That hurt,"Um...can i talk with you?" I asked,"I don't know." Said Maddie,"I promise i won't try anything...unless you want me to?" I asked then she raise her eyebrow at me,"So that's a no." I said then made her chuckle,"yeah, it's a no." Said Maddie. Then we both step out onto the porch. Maddie leaned against the edge of the wood and crossed her arms. She looks so cute when she's mad,"so um..." my voice trailed off. I didn't even know how to ask her,"So um what?" Asked Madie with her arms still crossed,"did i ruin things between us?" I asked. It was quiet for a moment. Maddie sighs.

"Listen i don't wanna do this right now."

"Please-just-tell me the truth." I asked

It was quiet once again. Maddie lets out a loud sigh,"I begged you for time, and all you did was the opposit...that was what happened Spence, i needed time, and you couldn't even give me that-it was the most simplest thing you could've ever done for me!" She shouted tears threatening to come out. A tear streemed down my face,"So it was my fault...all of it- my fault?" I asked almost in a whisper,"No, it wasn't your fault that...i felt something for Shawn, i realy did like you Spencer...but i feel something with Shawn that i just couldn't forget for you." Said Maddie. It was quiet once again,"I was wondering...if we could be friends?" I asked wanting to cry. I put my hands in my pockets and looked at Maddie. I couldn't believe that i was asking the one girl that i've ever wanted to be with, to be just friends. She starred at me surprised with a blank look that soon turned into a smile,"I would love to be friends." Said Maddie then hugs me,"great." I said hugging her tightly. After a few minutes of hugging, we let go of each other and she went back inside. I looked at Maddie's house,"I love you." I said slightly smiling and walking away.

(Back to Maddie's pov)

I was glad Spence and i were gonna be friends. I mean, i know he was acting like a humongus jerk before, but he was just being a jealous ex, now we can just be ourselves, which i am so happy about.

I went back inside and danced around with my friends, until we heard three knocks on the door again. I walked to the door and opened it to see Adrienne, Jordynn, and Emmah holding sleeping bags,"Hey, come in." I said hugging all of them and letting them in.

We all went to the living room and all tried to decide on the movie we all wanted to watch. We all decided on pitch perfect. I went to the kitchen and popped three bags of popcorn, grabbed six cans of cherry pepsi, and grabbed a bag of licorish. I went to the living room and pushed play. I settled down with a blaket next to Nikki, who was on her phone smiling,"Wow's making you blush?" I asked,"Ohh, i bet it's Garrett." Said Adrienne,"How'd you know?" Asked Nikki still blushing,"Oh please girl, we know how it is." Said Adrienne,"I'm so happy you're happy." I said,"Thanks." Said Nikki then giggled,"Awe she's blushing." We all said,"Shut up." Said nikki then threw a pillow at Adrienne who caught it and threw it back it at her. Nikki caught it and used it.

Half way into the movie, i saw that the bowl was empty,"Awe no more popcorn." Whined Emmah,"I'm on it." I said grabbing the empty bowl and going into the kitchen. I went to cabinet and grabbed three more bags of popcorn. I put them into the microwave and put them in for two minutes. As the second bag down, i got a text. From Shawn.
