Ashley, not knowing what the human was doing with his hand gave him a blank look.

“Alright then,” Arthur whispered as he retracted his hand. “Why don’t you come inside and meet the rest of the family.”

He turned and Ashley followed behind him. They walked into the living room where Paula and Glen awaited.

“Everyone, this is Ashley.” Arthur announced.

“Hello Ashley, I’m Paula, it’s nice to meet you.” Paula greeted with a gentle smile.

“Hey hottie, I’m Glen.” Glen flirted.

“Glen mind your manners.” Paula scolded.

Ashley stared at the teen boy confused. “I am not hot. My body temperature is at the normal rate in which an average human’s is, ninety seven point five degrees.”

The family looked at Ashley baffled. The Martian scanned the Carlin’s faces nonchalantly. Why were they looking at her like that? Did she say something wrong?

After a moment of awkward silence Arthur spoke. “Um, Paula, where’s Spencer?”

“She said she had to use the bathroom.” Glen supplied.

“I’m right here.” Spencer announced walking into the room.

When Ashley laid eyes on Spencer her hearts began to beat double time. Spencer was the most beautiful being the Martian had ever seen. She couldn’t help but let her gaze happily dance around the human’s delicious figure.

The blonde’s face scrunched up in disgust when she realized the new girl was checking her out. “Uh, mom, could you tell Amanda to stop staring at me?”

Paula rolled her eyes. “Her name is Ashley.”

Spencer shrugged and then turned to glare at Ashley. “If you don’t stop staring at me, I’ll claw your eyes out!”

Ashley immediately averted her eyes timidly.

“Spencer calm down.” Arthur admonished.

“She shouldn’t have been looking at me!”

“Okay that’s enough.” Paula intervened, “Spencer, why don’t you show Ashley where she will be staying.”

“Whatever.” Spencer sighed brushing past Ashley and up the stairs. The Martian, making sure to keep her eyes off of the blonde teen, silently followed.

“This is it.” Spencer stated pushing open the door to Clay’s room. She turned to address the brunette but then stopped when she was met with Ashley’s back. Frowning she asked, “What are you doing?”

“I am looking at the wall.” Ashley replied.

“Why are you looking at the wall?” The blonde asked.
