“Hey Spence,” I greeted her making my way through the crowd to reach her.

“What’s up?” The people around me were scrambling to get to class. Every new kid always freaks out when they get to high school. Why do they feel like they have to run to all of their classes?

“Not much, so I uh, I uh…” fuck words never come together when I’m talking to her. The Davies charms goes to hell. She chuckled at my attempt. Well at least she thinks it’s cute right?

“You really need to learn to say what you’re thinking Ash,” she replied. But what if I don’t know what I’m thinking?

“I’ll work on that,” I assured her.

“So then what were you trying to say anyways?”

“I was just uh,” ok this is getting ridiculous. “What are you up to this weekend?” See that wasn’t so hard, unless she rejects me. Oh god she’s going to reject me.

“I’m hanging out with Kelvin Friday want to come?” No.

“Sure,” did I honestly just agree to watch Kelvin feel her up all night? Just shoot me now. It’s like saying yeah I’ll be miserable. Sounds good. I was going to try and take it back, until I saw the way her face light up.

“Ok, cool. Afterwards do you want to crash at my house?” Is that an actual question?

“Yeah,” I replied trying not to sound too eager.

“Well I got to get to class. I’ll see you later. Just like that I watched her as she disappeared into the doorway, so by now the only thing I was left with were my pounding thoughts. How could I let myself agree to something like this? Ok so I know exactly why. I’ll bend over backwards for her, do anything to make her happy. It didn’t take a genius to figure that out, but I still didn’t know why. I mean we were just friends right? So why am I so jealous?
