My Sort-Of Cinderella Story

Chapter 13

Spencer's POV

Oh hell no, there was no way she was winning this.

I watched her and her friends walk into the ice cream parlor and I started slowly walking over, holding Amanda's hand.

"Hey, how about we go get some ice cream?" I asked Amanda and she replied with a smile and started walking with Parker and Ryan behind us.

As soon as we walked inside, Max and her friends were talking to the guy that was behind the counter. I noticed him from school, his name's Jackson and he's on the swim team.

I asked Amanda what she wanted and I ordered for her, like a gentleman, and all was well, until I hear Max and her friends giggling at the counter. I looked over and saw that they were all talking to each other. They were all sitting down at a booth and Jackson was sitting next to Max.

"Ahem." I said loudly and Max looked back at me and smirked, it wasn't a cute smirk, it was evil.

Then she turned back around and kept talking. Ryan, Parker, Amanda and I sat in the booth right next to theirs and I sat facing Max. When she saw me staring, she just looked back to her friends.

"Spencer?" Ryan said which snapped me back into reality. Whatever game Max was planning on playing, she wasn't gonna win.

"Yeah man, what's up?" I replied to Ryan trying to act normal.

"What time is camp tomorrow? We need to be there to scope out the freshmen." Ryan replied.

"It starts at 10 so we need to be there by 9:15 to help coach out." I answered looking at Ryan and Parker.

When I looked up, I saw that Max and her friends were leaving the parlor and Max gave Jackson a hug as she left. And she smiled at him too, and was that a blush? What the hell? When I go to try and comfort her, she acts as if I'm going to kill her, but she blushes when this kid hugs her?

It's not like I care, it's just weird. I don't care about Max because I have a girl of my own. I put my arm around Amanda and she snuggled beside me. Why do I feel guilty?

Max's POV

Alex and Hannah started walking towards the beach and I went to go check on my brother and his friend. They were in the arcade playing a zombie game with some other boys, of course.

We ran down to the beach and sat down in the sand and watched the waves roll in.

"I'm way up, I feel blessed." Hannah sang in the quiet.

"Damn, we have a new Mrs.Drake everybody!" I said making Alex and Hannah laugh.

Some more people were walking down onto the beach and some couples were starting to do their thing, it was gross. Then, just like a tick you can't get rid of, Spencer and Amanda started walking towards the beach too. They walked all the way down and sat down on the beach, and started doing their relationship stuff.

After a while, we got up and started walking towards the pier. When we got to the arcade, Josh and his friend were watching other kids play.

"Aye, Josh get your friend and let's go." I said poking my head into the huge arcade.

When Josh and his friend came out of the arcade, we walked to my Jeep and drove back to my house. Hannah and Alex were sleeping over and as soon as we got home, Josh and his friend ran upstairs and Hannah and Alex walked upstairs to my room.

When we got to my room, I told them, "I'm gonna be out tomorrow for conditioning at school, so if I'm not here, I'll be back around 12.

"Yeah, don't worry we're probably still gonna be sleeping by then." Alex assured me.
