“…Like the F-word?” Spencer asked scared she was saying something as bad as the worst word in the world, at least to an innocent twelve year old.

“It’s worse…” the door bell rang, “that’s dinner…” Ashley stood up walking to the door but before she left she turned to Spencer, “But I forgive you since you didn’t know how bad it is.” Than walked out.

Spencer couldn’t stop smiling, she had been crushing on Ashley for the longest time and even though they fought constantly at school due mostly to the hatred between Madison and Ashley she thought that maybe right now in her home during this weekend they could form some kind of friendship.

Rushing to her dresser she picked out her favorite jeans and t shirt, a black baby tee with the Star Trek Voyager star ship on it with the words I calculate at Warp Speed, her uncle gave it to her when he first heard of her skipping a few grades, she loved the shirt a lot, than she put on her cleanest pair of sneakers, “Spencer dinner’s here!” Ashley called up the stairs, smiling Spencer walked to the dresser pulling her hair into a tight pony tail than grabbed a board game hoping Ashley would want to play with her since no one else ever did.

Rushing down stairs, “Hey Ash I thought we could play…” her voice trailed off as she saw Aiden Dennison sitting at the table with a slice of pizza in hand.

“Aw how  cute you’re a  little trekkie,” he smirked with an evil glint in his eye, swallowing she set the game down knowing that Ashley wasn’t going to play some stupid kids game with him around, she sat down silently grabbing a slice of pizza and just sat listening to them talk and ignore her, what hurt the most is she should be used to it but wasn’t…

“Spencer!” Ashley waved her hand in front of the blonde’s face bringing her back to the present.

“Huh?”

“Where’d you go?” the older woman asked now sitting in her designated seat holding her notepad.

Spencer looked at the food in front of her which she didn’t even realize she’d eaten, feeling bad that she didn’t get to taste it before glancing back at Ashley, licking her lips to try and make her nervous disappear, “Would you have played that game with me if he didn’t show up?”

Ashley’s eye brows rose up in shock, not at the question but the fact that she knew exactly what Spencer was talking about, “I…”

TBC.
