Ashley sat in the café down the street instead of the cafeteria at the hospital, she really didn’t want to chance running into Aiden and having to explain why she left a bit early for lunch. Swirling her spoon around and around in her soup deep in thought…

“So did you get it?” Spencer asked bringing her eyes off the cartoons parading on the television.

“Yeah I think so,” Ashley pushed her paper toward the little girl who started scanning the work.

“Good job,” Spencer smiled up at the taller girl.

Ashley smiled back for a minute before realizing that this was her enemy and no matter how well they got on right now back at school on Monday it would just go back to pranks and heated words, “Thanks,” she spoke with no emotion.

The brunette saw Spencer’s smile drop some and wished she would have kept up the peaceful banter they had been sporting a minute ago, “I…welcome…” she breathed out before getting up and walking upstairs to her room.

Sighing Ashley put away her homework away which was done much quicker than usual due to the smart blond hiding upstairs; rolling her eyes she picked up her cell phone, “Yo?”

“You are so friggin weird,” Aiden laughed at the way his friend answered her phone.

“You wish you were this cool,” she laughed back feeling better at the familiar banter.

“Nah you can be cool I’ll be a man’s man thank you,”

“What ever you couldn’t get a guy if you wanted,”

Aiden sighed, “In a bad mood…come on I know what will cheer you up, I’ll come over and we’ll put on bambi and down some vodka.”

“That would be great but I’m not home,”

“Where you at?” she could hear him turn down his stereo putting all his attention on her.

“Don’t freak out okay?”

“When someone says that it’s usually bad,” his voice shook afraid of what his friend could be doing, most of the time when she was in a bad mood she became a bit self destructive.

“I’m babysitting Spencer Carlin,” she whispered as her eyes stayed glued to the stairs making sure the twelve year old didn’t wonder down into her conversation.
