“Okay class, tomorrow we're going to start working on the play.” The teacher said as the bell rang. She stood up then added, “So please work on your parts. I need to see everyone who has a lead role to stay for minute.” Madison sighed, then glanced at me. She had a lead role.
“I'll catch up with you later.” I tell her as I put my books in my bag. I had so much homework to do tonight. So not looking forward to it.
“OK.” She says joining the rest of the people who had a lead role in the front of the class with the teacher.
I leave the classroom and walk outside towards my car when I hear someone calling my name. I turn around and see Ashley running towards me.
“Hey.” She says out of breath.
“Hey.” I smile at the fact that she just ran to catch up with me. “You okay?” I ask bending down to her level. She had her hands on her knees, clearly trying to catch her breath. She put a finger up as she tried to even out her breathing.
“Man you walk fast.” She smiles as she finally catches her breath and we continue towards the parking lot. I laugh as she asks, “What are you doing today?”
“I have a mountain of homework.” I tell her as we reach my car.
“Good.” She smiles then adds, “How about we climb that mountain together?”
“How about you climb the mountain and I stay down at the bottom and watch you.” I joke, not even sure what I actually meant by that. And by the look on Ashley's face I could tell she didn't get it either.
“What?” She scrunches up her face. “You wanna check out my ass as I climb, is what you're saying?” I can feel the blush spreading across my cheeks.
“Would you like to come over and do homework with me?” I ask, finally. She was about to speak when my phone rang. I look down at the caller ID to see it's Madison. I tell her one sec then answer my phone. “Yeah?”
“Ugh, where are you? I wanna run lines with you tonight.” She says and I can hear her closing her locker.
“Um.” I try and think of a lie—I got nothing, so I just tell the truth. “I have so much homework, Mads.” I say unlocking my door.
“Boo your life, Spencer. We can run lines after you're done. Say around 9ish?” She questions, and I can't think of a lie fast enough. Truth is, I wanted to be alone with Ashley. I didn't know why, I just knew that was what I wanted.
“Oh you know what, I forgot I'm supposed to be helping my mom clean the attic today, so I won't even get to my homework 'til late.” I lie to my best friend, something I never did before—Ashley.
She sighs then says a quick 'fine' and hangs up. I guess she's mad at me.
“I'm confused.” Ashley says suddenly, as I throw my bag in the back seat of my 09' Camry.
“Huh?” I say, realizing that she just heard that whole conversation between Madison and I.
“You ask me to come over, but you're busy?”
“No, I just told her that to get her off the phone.”
She makes a face “So you lied to your best friend?”
“Yeah.” I say in a low voice.
“Why?” I see the confusion written all over her face.
“Cause I wanted you to myself.” I blurt out, realizing that's not what I meant to say. Or was it...
She smiles as I blush—yet again.
“I'll meet you there in like an hour.” Smiles then saunters off towards her car. See what I mean about my brain and her ability to turn it to mush?
