“Hey Ash,” Max greeted as he pulled away from his boyfriend and hugged me.

“Hey Maxi, what’s up?” I plopped down on the bench secretly watching Spencer make her way to the lockers.

“Nothing much…”

“That is a loud of crap,” Lucy sat up taking the head phones out. Max and John shifted uncomfortably.

“What’s going on?”

“Boss wants to see us,” John huffed throwing his hood on.

“Like now, she never wants us during school hours,” this was ridicules. Our gang only met with the boss on the weekends so for us to be called out of school was a big deal, my nervous were already shaking.

“Don’t know,” Lucy grabbed my arm yanking me back up, “But it is real serious if she wants us to meet her.”

The four of us headed to the parking lot and got in John’s SUV when my phone started going off signaling I had a text message, reaching in my pocket and ignoring Max and Lucy’s argument over which football team had the best stats I flipped it open…

Ash:

Going to cheer practice at Madison’s can you drop me off?

Spencer

“Who is it?” John asked staring in the rearview mirror with concern.

“Spencer…”

”What’d the kid want?”

“Asking for a ride to Madison’s,”

“Why isn’t she off the team for being (gasp) gay?” Lucy rolled her eyes.

“Wait; hold on since when is Spencer gay?” Max turned in the passenger seat to stare.

“I…well I’m not sure but she is,” I replied still deciding if I should text her saying yes or no.

“No way so I guess you get your chance after all,” John wiggled his eyebrows and laughed at my face which probably had shock written all over it.

“Is it that damn obvious?” my voice broke.

“To everyone looking, besides Spencer that is,” Max laughed running his hand down John’s arm and intertwining their fingers earning him a smirk and a wink from John.

“Let’s drop it,”

“Come on Ash don’t tell me you’re not going for it,”

“Luc she’s like a year younger than me and has a bed time of like nine, how do I go for it?”
