Spence: “why didn’t Haley say anything to them?”

Ash: “She did tell them, she told them that it wasn’t right for them to do stuff like that and she apologized to me for what her friends where doing to me, but one day it got so out of hand that the one of the girls wrote DYKE on Krystal’s p.e. locker and her parents got called in, because she got mad and started kicking the other girls ass, which was entertaining to my dismay but that’s when everything was revealed, her parents send her to some sort of gay detox camp and my family moved to Colorado because of my dad’s job which did come at the best precise moment” so Krystal is her name “but then my dad got relocated and here we are”

Spence: “do you still keep in contact with her”

Ash: “no, last I heard is that her family moved Far East”

Spence: “why didn’t you tell me before?” she was quiet for a second and then looked at me dead in the eye

Ash: “I wanted you to know me for me and not by some stupid rumors which are true and I didn’t want to lose another friend”

Spence: “wait did Mark know?”

Ash: “yes he knew” she says it with a bit of laughter “he is actually one of the reasons besides Haley that the other girls stopped talking about me”

Spence: “what do you mean?”

Ash: “you see one day after school I was talking to him about me liking girls and he told me that if I kissed him I would truly know if I did like girls because and quote: he is the best kisser in the world of kissing, so I did and nothing I felt nothing at all”

Spence: “so they stopped it because you kissed Mark?”

Ash: “yes and now that it comes up I don’t understand how you stood kissing him he is not that great of a kisser” we laugh for it bit then it dies down “Spence, what happened with you and Mark?”

Spence: “I broke up with him”

Ash: “obviously, but why?” I don’t say anything I just look down, I feel her hand under my chin and puts my head up so she could look in my eyes “you know he misses you?” he does?
