I lived in North Carolina all my life. The town I lived in is called Fayetteville. That summer I spent most of the summer either with my friend Kyla Woods, or working the bumper cars at the local carnival. One day I happened to come across a very beautiful, talented, and perfect (at least to me) girl named Ashley Davies, she was Kyla’s long lost sister or something. God I can remember seeing her for the first time and thinking she was so beautiful. I didn’t know it then but that one girl would end up changing my life forever. Later that night when I was on lunch, and after gathering my courage, I walked up and introduced myself, "Hi, I’m Spencer Carlin."

"Ashley Davies" She said surprised.

"Nice to meet you Ashley. You new in town?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah I guess you could say that." She laughs.

"Oh, well, if you ever need someone to, I don’t know, show you around, maybe hang out with, just let me know" I say courteously.

"ok, I think I’ll take you up on that offer, thanks." She says.

"No problem. Talk to you later?" I ask.

"Ok yeah." I could tell she was kind of nervous. But I don’t know why.

I turn and walk away with a huge smile glued on my face.

The next day she was at the carnival again. She looked even more beautiful than yesterday. I was almost speechless when she walked up and said, "Hey you."

"Oh hey what are you doing here?"

She laughs and says, "Well I just thought you looked like you could use some company. That’s all." She states.

"Oh well thanks." I say nervously.

"You ok?" She asks.

"Yeah…. Yeah I’m fine. Just thinking." I hope she doesn’t know that’s a lie.

"Oh well what about?"

"nothing really I just cant wait to get off." Another lie. Well not completely.

She laughs, "Well, um, what are you doing aft…"

Kyla interrupts yelling, "Ashley, come on, my mom’s going to be mad if we’re late for supper."

"Ok yeah I’m coming" I laugh at her comment. "Whats so funny?" she laughs.

"You said ‘I’m coming’." I laugh again.

"You have a dirty mind." She points out.

"Yeah. But that’s why people love me." I giggle.

"Any way I’ll see you later?"

"Definitely."

"Bye."

"Bye." I say.

She smiles and walks away. What is with me? A few words to me n I just want to melt into her arms. These feelings better go away, soon, or there going to drive me crazy.

Later that night I walk up the drive way and into my house. I yell, "Dad I’m home."

"Ok Spence… oh by the way supper will be done in a bit."

"ok." I say as I head upstairs.

When I get into my room I land on my bed with a loud flop. I hear a giggle come from behind me, and turn to see kyla sitting in one of the chairs in my room Ashley was in the other.
