"I don't know what your problem is, but I'm sure we can solve it." I said to myself practicing in the mirror. Spencer kind of scared me with this new acquired attitude of his, and so I was terribfied to ask him about his hostile behaivor towards me and only me. Was it about Mikey? Me? Was it about last night? I just didn't have a clue but I wanted to find out.

"Spencer..." I paused taking a breath in relief as my phone rang.

"Hello." I mumbled as I caught it on the last ring.

"Heyyyyy!" A voice came through the phone that I hadn't heard in ages. Alexis. "What ever happened to talking everyday?" She asked and suddenly brightened my day.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry." I laughed trying to think of why I had been forgetting to call her. "I'm just so wrapped up in my nonsense, crazy life. It's madness here."

"Just come back." She simply stated like it was an option.

"Oh I wish I could, but it's just not that easy." I admitted looking at a photograph on my dresser of Spencer and I the first day he 'tried' to teach me to surf. He was a totally different person now.

"I wish you could, things are crazy here too. " She sighed

"Spill." I laughed and crossed my legs.

"Well... Nick and I are no-"

"No." I denied it, rufusing to accept that they were over.

"Yep, officially yesterday afternoon."

"I'm sorry." I said not knowing what else to say.

"but other than that Mikey and Naomy....," She left it at that but quickly continued, "Vinny's good, he's still with Gabbie, and happy might I mention. " She said but of course I already knew that.

"So what's crazy?" I asked because the description was lacking choas.

"Ummm.... They are shutting down ICON." She stated and my heart sank, even though I was no longer enrolled in ICON it would forever be a part of me. It was the place where I had first met my friends, and Mikey. It was the place I learned to find myself and fit in at. It was my haven, in a sense.

"Why?"

"Insufficient funds." She mummbled and for the next hour and half we continued talking about everything including ICON, mikey, nick, and Spencer.

I had a pretty decent Sunday. After Alexis called I went down to the beach and got a nice tan, afterall before I did look a little out of place being the whitest one in California.

"Ready for school?" McKay asked walking into my kitchen. I don't even know why we bothered having a doorbell, no one used it.

"Yep. Ready as I'll ever be."

"Good because Hannah and Jake are waiting in the car and the faster we get there, the less time I have to watch them drool over each other." She said hopping up to sit on the table.

"Ya know, people do eat on this." I said taking the last bite of my coco pebbles. "Let's go." I said hesitantly, school meant Spencer, and Spencer meant ..... not good. He hadn't even texted me since and I was getting a bit concerned.

"Ow, Ow." McKay and I said catcalling at Hannah and Jake as we hopped in the car. It was actually a pretty pleasant ride to school. At least I would be starting off my day good.

I silently walked to my locker, which was placed next to Spencer's and got out my books. I waited a few minutes for him to show up but he was taking too long, but I certainly didn't want to have this dicussion in the middle of class so I waited.

He finally came and I decided to greet him nicely, because I knew that the kinder I was he would also be.

"Hey Spenc." I smiled and shut my locker. He opened his locker without saying a word and directed his attention anywhere but on me. "Can we talk?"

"Talk about what?, the way your're acting?, your ex?, why you're still in love with him?"

"Spencer, I thought you understood." My heart sunk. I hated to argue with Spencer.

"Well I thought you loved, so I guess we were both wrong." He snapped and walked away. Where the hell did that come from? and why? I was in total shock, there was no way I could even begin to comprehend what just happened.

Suddenly the bell released me from my heart killing thoughts, the best thing I could do right now was let time heal all. I didn't even know what to say to him, of course I loved him. I loved him more than he's ever know.

I shook as I tried to grab my phone from my pocket and dropped it screen down on the floor. I shut my eyes fearing for the worst.

"I don't need this right now." I said to myself slowing picking up my phone. "damn."

and that's how my day started and continued throughout the day. I felt lousy and terrible for everything that happened between Spenc and I and It wasn't just something I could shake off. Not to mention that during Lunch I spilled applesauce all over my shirt. Trust me, that gathered alot of not very nice comments.

I drug myself into my house and planted myself on the couch. It was time for some Honey Boo Boo and Girl Code.

"Kalen." My mom called from the kitchen before I even had time to turn the TV on.

"Ya?" I asked and clicked the TV on.

"Come here." She said happily.

I walked into the kitchen where she was slicing an onion, without crying, which amazed me. My eyes started to water right away.

"You're already crying and I haven't even told you the news yet." She laughed and gave me a promising vibe, maybe, just maybe this news might be great enough to cheer me up.

I laughed and rubbed my eyes.

"We have decided to go to Ashton's during the holidays." She said and I felt happy for once. This time I was actually crying tears of joy because I was so happy. "We leave on December 10." She smiled and put an arm around me. "I know how much those friends mean to you so we decided to stay for three weeks."

"Oh My God, thank you." I spoke and immediantly picked up my broken phone to call my friends, but soon after set it down. I decided on not telling them and keeping it a surprise.

My happiness blocked out the sadness for a breif period of time while I thought happily about how much fun we would have in Jersey over the holidays.
