My First and Only Love

Chapter Six

Spencer:
We got out of the water, soaking wet. Cassandra shivered. "Go change to your dry clothes," I told her while I threw her a towel. She smiled," Alrighty then." She went behind a tree and changed and I did the same. When Cassandra walked towards me, I hadn't noticed her approaching me, I was too distracted. Too distracted playing back the time we just spent together.
She stood next to me, which is when I noticed her. "Come with me," I told her. "Where?" "To a cabin." "A cabin?" "Yup, I'm kidnapping you for the night." "Spencer... my mom is gonna freak." "Your mom agreed already." "Huh?" "I didn't only make plans with Charlotte, I also made plans with your mom." I winked at her and laughed at her shocked reaction.
"Honestly, not shocking. That is just like my mom," she said. "Well then, let's go." I started walking and she followed me. I led her to a small cabin and went inside. "What is this place?" "It's a hangout my parents made for me when I first discovered this place." "Wow, it's beautiful." "Thanks. I'll show you to your room." I led her to the end of the hallway to her room. "Where will you be sleeping?" she asked me. "In the other room." "Your hangout has more than one room?!" I laughed lightly," Yes it has three rooms." "Wow, just wow." "I'll be across the hall if you need me." "Alright, thanks."

Cassandra:
The room was so huge! It was the size of my whole apartment! I can't even imagine his house. Then I remembered our project for film class and I laughed realizing I was going to find out next week. I took off my jacket and went to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up to the smell of cookies. I got up and went to the kitchen. Spencer was pulling out a tray of cookies from the oven. "Good morning gorgeous," he said smiling. "Good morning." "I got you breakfast. Cookies and milk. Best breakfast ever." "Best breakfast ever," I agreed," Thanks." "No problem."
He poured us both a glass of milk and sat down next to me. "Enjoy." "You too." We ate in silence. "I have a question," I stated. "Well then, you should ask it." "Why did I sleep over? Why didn't I go back home?" "Well,  I'm taking you out again this morning and taking you back home in the evening." "Oh wow, Ima be exhausted tomorrow." "Well you better not be cause we got school."
When we finished eating, Spencer took me to an arcade and we started playing. Then, we went to the movies, and then he took me home.

Spencer:
That night, when I laid in bed, trying to sleep, I only thought of her. My beautiful gorgeous friend. I didn't like that word, but it was all I was ever going to get, so might as well suck it up.
                                                            *****
On Monday morning, I woke up very late. It was already 8 when I woke up, and homeroom starts at 7:50! I jumped off my bed and put on a t-shirt that was hanging off a chair and a pair of pants that were on my bed. I put on the first shoes I found and ran out. I got to school at 8:10. I was 5 minutes late to first period.

Cassandra:
I was so relived to see him. I thought he wasn't going to come and that broke my heart. What was I supposed to do without my best friend?! Yea, I had Maria, but that just wasn't the same.
Spencer took his seat and smiled at me. "You scared me," I informed him. "How come?" "I thought you were not gonna come!" "Aw, you were gonna miss me," he teased. "Well, if you didnt come, we wouldn't be able to start our project." "Omg, that's today!?" "Yea,we start today." "Ugh I forgot." "Well, if it helps you out, then I'll go to your house this week.
"No no no." "This is your week, I'll just text my parents after class. And when you go to sleep, I'll go get my clothes." "You sure?" "Yes, I'm sure." "Ok," I said smiling.
That day, in Finance, Maria sat with me like always. "Cassy, we need to talk." "About?" "Spencer." I looked up at her," What about him?" "What is going on between you two?" "What do you mean?" "Everyone is saying you two are... a thing." "A thing?" "Yes, a thing. In other words: dating." "No! We are not dating! We are just friends, best friends." "Are you sure?" "Yes I'm sure." "So you aren't lying to me right?" "Of course not." "Ok, good." "One question though: You said everyone is saying we are a thing. That was an exaggeration right?" "Nope. Spencer is the most popular guy in school, of course everyone is making rumors."
Rumors. Rumors. Rumors. The word wouldn't leave my mind. I hated rumors, especially about me.
"Ok then," I told her. "Let's get back to work."
Later, in P.E, Spencer and I were on the same dodgeball team. He kept protecting me while I got the other people out. When there were five minutes left of class, we went to the locker room to change.
When I came out of the locker room, Spencer was causally leaning against a walls with his arms crossed. I went up to him and unfolded his arms," Let's go," I told him smiling. He led the way out of school and started walking to the parking lot. "Where are you going?" I asked him. "To my car." "But you are supposed to follow my routine now, so we are walking to my house." "Oh great, ok. I'll just take it home when you go to sleep." "Alright, do that then."
