“It’s ok Spence I sort of had an idea for the visual part. It will be really personal for both of us, but if you’re game so am I,” I ask her. She just smiles and shakes her head yes.

            “Well I thought that we could show some home movies. I sort of have this video that Aiden recorded last year on my birthday. It basically just shows how neither of my parents was there for me not even on my birthday. And, I figured you could bring a home video of one of your birthdays because I’m sure you have some and I’m sure your whole family was with you. I guess in a way it sort of shows the sadness in having tons of money and the happiness of having your family with you,” I finish quietly unsure if she will like the idea.

            She is looking at me with a sad smile now. “That’s a really good idea Ash, but are you sure you would want to reveal all that to our peers. I mean mine won’t be that bad, but I just want to make sure you are okay with our peers seeing how your home life is,” She says clearly concerned with my feelings.

            “Yeah Spence, I will be okay with it. Most of the people here know how it is for me at home thanks to Madison always giving me shit about it. I know it’s really personal, but I think that’s part of what will make is so great for our project,” I say trying to reassure her.

            “Okay Ash, then I’m in. It’s a really great idea. I think it will help to get us a really good grade,” she says smiling at me. After that the bell rings. Damn I can’t believe class went by so fast. I love spending this time with Spencer.

            “So Ash, I thought maybe you could come over to my house this evening and we could work more on the project. Maybe we could show each other our videos and you could stay for dinner and meet my family?” she says seeming nervous.

            “Yeah Spence that would be cool. Just txt me your address later and I will see you at 6. Is that good?” I reply with a smile.

            “Yeah sounds great. Oh and Ash?” I just look up at her. “I’m sorry that Madison is such a bitch to you. I’ll talk to her about that. She shouldn’t announce to the whole school your personal issues,” she says before turning to leave for her next class.

            As she is about to walk out the door I tell her thanks. She just gives me one final smile before leaving. I know she will get shit from Madison for standing up for me. It just makes it that more special that she is willing to do it even though she knows it will piss Madison off. I can’t wait for tonight. I’m really interested in seeing that video of Spencer’s. I mean I don’t really want to show her mine, but it will be fine. I know she won’t judge me.
