“So like where did you come from, what’s your story?” my other friend Michelle asks

“Guys!”

“It’s okay” she replies to me and rests her hand on my leg

My knee jerks and she quickly pulls her hand away, giving me an apologetic half smile

“My family moved here about a month ago, and I just transferred from St. Marys”

“Why?” Sadie asks now

I bang my forehead multiple times on the table

Ashley Chuckles.

“I didn’t like it there”

“Cause Spencer wasn’t there” Michelle asks nodding her head like she knew the answer

“Are you serious!?”

I looked to Shannon who had a guilty look of some sort, “You told them didn’t you?”

“Uhh, yeah that may have been one of the reasons” Ashley cuts in

I forget why I was mad now.

“What do your parents do?” Michelle asks again

“Ashley, I am so sorry” i can’t apologize enough for my nosey friends

“My mom doesn’t do anything and my Dad is uh Raife Davies” she replies and I give her a look. I never would have expected her to admit that to these girls just upon meeting them.

She sees me staring at her and turns to look at me and crinkles her nose.

“Oh that’s it?” Michelle replies and turns to some of the other girls

“So did I tell you about how I had to climb out of Bobby’s window this weekend so his parents wouldn’t see me leave in the morning?” Michelle’s voice is in the background now as Ashley turns to me

“Uh, does she not like me now?” she asks seriously

I start laughing, “No she likes you, the fact that she took time to get to know you says something, trust me. And I guess now you won’t have to worry about people friending you because of who your father is”

She ponders for a minute, “shit you mean I actually have to put effort into making friends?” she whispers

I continue to laugh and I can see Shannon out of the corner of my eye gazing in our direction with a smile on her face.

I turn my attention to her, “Don’t even think that you are off the hook” I point at her

“Wait til I see Scott again, we’ll see how you like getting your spot blown up” I add

“Ohhh I’m shaking” she puts her hands up, making fun of me

I get a devilish grin, “Spring Break Cruise 08.”

Her smile disappears and she has a straight face.

“You wouldn’t”

“Cabo, Summer 2007” I continue

“Spencer don’t even joke!”

“Colorado, Winter break 2008” I’m no where near done

“Okay you made your point” she replies still serious

“New Years Eve 2005”

“05!? We were like infants” Ashley pipes up

“Enough already, Christ!” Shannon yells

I get a evil glint in my eye, “Our last Vegas trip”

Her eyes grow wide, but quickly narrow to mine. “You were just as bad as me so don’t even”

Ashley’s head snaps to my direction, looking eager.

I’m the first one to laugh and Shannon follows

“What’s Vegas?” she asks like a drooling puppy

The bell sounds, “Gotta go!” I say and quickly get up

“No? What?! What was Vegas?! SPENCER!”

Me and Shannon were already long gone, leaving Ashley in our dust to imagine the trouble the two of us possibly could have gotten into in Nevada.
