"Are you on crack?" I cough and laugh out juice from my moms outburst. She looks at me sternly. "Are you riding the white pony, doing smack, drinking the magic tea?"

"What?" I calm my laughs enough to talk. "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Drugs Ashley! Are you on drugs?" I laugh again. She looks me in the eye and holds our gaze. "You don’t look high." She observes.

"That’s because I’m not mom. What gave you that idea?" I ask, cleaning the spilled juice.

"Oh I don’t know, maybe the way you can’t sit still. Jesus Ashley if I didn’t know any better I would think you’re having a seizure in that chair." She says exasperated.

"I’m not drinking smack, or whatever you said." I roll my eyes and put my dishes away.

"It’s ‘drinking the magic tea’." She states matter of fact.

"How do you even know that?"

"Well in training you have to know all the street names, or at least most, of drugs." I nod.

"Well lucky for you I get high on life." She chuckles. "I’m going to pick up Spencer." She looks at me knowingly.

"So that’s why you’re so giddy this morning." She raises an eyebrow.

"Goodbye mother." I walk out the door and to my car.

"Why are you leaving so early?" I look up and see Madison leaning against her car.

"Not that its your business but I’m going to pick up Spencer." I reply getting into the car. I lower the top and look over to Madison.

"You’re friends with that freak again? Whatever. I’m late for practice. You really should watch who you hang out with. That’s how rumors start." She starts her car and smirks. I start mine and smirk back.

"Really? I thought that was your ugly ass." I pull out and peel off before she can speak.

I pull into Spencer’s driveway and hop out. I knock but thankfully Spencer answers this time.

"You’re early." She states all smiles.

"Hope you don’t mind. I like to stop and get some coffee." I smile back.
