Ashley took a seat as Spencer joined the rest of her squad and Madison who looked suspiciously at the two. ‘Do you think she figured it out? Naw…she’s not that bright.’

The practice seemed to move in slow motion and Ashley was becoming fairly impatient with the small amount of time that had passed. She cheered inside her head when she saw the girls gather for their last pep talk. After all the girls had gone, Ashley saw Spencer make her way towards Madison. She whispered something in her ear and the two headed out of the gym.

Ashley jumped down and followed the two girls back to the dorm. She saw both girls enter Spencer’s room and she walked over placing an ear to the door. She couldn’t hear anything through the heavy door and reluctantly headed towards her own room.

Donna was sitting at her desk reading and turned her head watching the brunette fall heavily onto her bed. “Something wrong?”

“Nothing that should concern you.” Ashley said bitterly. ‘You better drop it if you know what’s good for you.’

“I’m guessing it has something to do with a certain blonde…”

“Watch it.” Ashley said pointing at the smaller girl.

“Someone’s moody.” Donna said turning back to her book.

Ashley ran her hand through her curls and began to count in her head. ‘One…two…three…’

Ashley continued to count. ‘Four-hundred…four-hundred and one…four-hund…what the hell is taking so long???’ She thought sitting up abruptly.

“Are you waiting for something?” The smaller girl asked noticing Ashley moving her leg up and down repeatedly.

Ashley glared at the girl and stood up. She left her room and headed down to Spencer’s room. She wasn’t sure if Madison had left but she wanted to make sure Spencer was alright. She took a deep breath and knocked softly.

The door flew open and Madison stood with an angry glare. She bore her eyes right into Ashley and the brunette looked at the girl with a startled look. Ashley looked past the Latina to find Spencer with her head in her hands. She pushed her way past the Latina and entered the room.

Madison slammed the door shut and leaned against it. “So…you wanted to fuck my girlfriend all along!”

Ashley ignored the Latina and sat next to Spencer placing a hand on the blonde’s arm.

“Don’t you fucking touch her.” Madison said to the brunette.

“And are you going to stop me?” Ashley said in an angry voice. She never took her eyes off of the blonde. ‘I’d like to see you try bitch.’

“No but Spencer will…isn’t that right Spence?”

Ashley watched as Spencer stood up and walked towards Madison. She never looked Ashley in her eyes and nodded.

“What the fuck is going on? Spencer…baby…what’s wrong?” Ashley said standing up and looking at the blonde with a confused look.

“Ashley please leave.” Spencer said sadly.

“No…I’m not leaving until I get some answers.” Ashley said crossing her arms.

“What answers were you looking for?” Madison asked standing in front of Spencer shielding her from Ashley’s view.

“Ashley please.” Spencer was on the verge of tears and the sound of Spencer’s broken voice was too much for the brunette to bear. “Just…go…”

Ashley stood staring down the Latina but finally gave up seeing that she was going to get nowhere. “Fine…I’ll go…but I’m going to find out what is going on…” She slammed the door and headed back to her room.

She ran into her room and threw herself on her bed and began to sob. ‘How could things change so quickly? What the fuck is going on???’

Donna felt her heart hurt as she saw her new roommate crying non-stop. She walked over to the brunette and placed a soft hand on her shoulder. “Ashley? Are you ok?”

Ashley continued to cry and buried her head deeper into her bed. She sensed her roommate was still next to her so she raised her head. “Donna…leave me alone.”

“I’m sorry…I was just trying to help.” Donna returned to her desk and finished her reading.

‘This isn’t over.’ Ashley thought as she let her sobs subside. ‘Not by a long shot.’
