“I think it was just easier that way,” I replied vaguely.

“So since were on this dark topic Spencer give us your whole story,” Kyla demanded.

“Um really besides that drama it’s really not that interesting and there’s not that much to it,” I lied growing uncomfortable. I hope she decides not to push this subject.

“Come on Spencer you got to have some sort of story,” Kyla pleaded. “Here I’ll give you mine if you give me yours.”

“Yeah, I’ll give you mine too,” Ashley insisted.

“Seriously guys um I didn’t have much of a life,” I said hoping they bought it.

“Spencer come…,” Cara began to say but my phone started ringing. Wow saved by the phone. They should make a new show called that. I don’t think I’d ever been so grateful to hear my The Kill ring tone in my life until I remembered who I put the ring tone for. I looked at my caller ID hoping it wasn’t real. It was.

“Hello,” I mumbled.

“Hey, Spence what’s up I haven’t talked to you forever,” stated the person on the other end.

“Hey, um Alyssa what’s up,” I asked beginning to shake and loose my confidence.

“Where have you been?” Alyssa asked.

“I switched schools,” I answered.

“Why we’re having so much fun down here partying? Trust me you‘re missing out” asked Alyssa. That’s when I started regaining my confidence.

“I don’t Alyssa maybe it was the fact that everybody ditched me all summer, the fact that when I was fun we could hang out, but when I was miserable you totally abandoned me,” my voice grew louder as the anger started coming back.

“Come on Spencer we just knew if we gave you time you’d get over it,” Alyssa replied.

“Guess what it’s five months later and I’m still not over it,” I answered the anger growing.

“It’s not my problem your screwed up Spencer,” Alyssa whipped back.

“This is coming from the person who is just as screwed up if not more.”

“You know what Spencer this is just as much your fault as ours, so stop acting like you’re the victim. The fact of the matter is your not as innocent as you perceive yourself to be!” Alyssa shouted.
