“Oh, a dvd,” Ms. Caldwell said snatching the disk from the blonde’s hand. “I see Ms. Davies and Ms. Carlin have taken it upon themselves to earn extra credit by putting their performance on dvd. Class let’s watch.”

“No, Ms. Caldwell,” Ashley and Spencer yelled shaking their heads.

“Don’t be modest my dears, only the class will see this,” Ms. Caldwell said as she placed the disk into the player. “Can somebody hit the lights,” she asked hitting the play button.

As soon as the light were out Ashley made a run for it out of the room. Spencer watched her go confused. When she heard her voice on the television she turned her attention to it.

On the DVD

“Look I want to be with Carmen,” Spencer replied. “I’ve just gotta make her notice me. You know put myself out there.”

“You mean slut yourself up?”

“No,” Spencer shook her head. “I’ve gotta make her want me. Like … so bad that she’d want to claim me as her own.”

“Um…” Madison said thoughtfully. “You mean like make her jealous?”

“Yes! That’s perfect!” Spencer cheered. “I can pretend I have a girlfriend or something and make her jealous!”
___

“Don’t play stupid girl. How could you listen to her say all those sweet things and not feel the least bit guilty?”

“Easily,” Spencer shrugged. “Because I love Carmen and whatever Ashley says or does doesn’t affect me, none of it, not the flowers, not the loving words, not even the sex dream I had.”
___

“You need to end this,” Madison yelled.

“I can’t,” Spence hissed. “I’ve got Carmen within my hands grasp. She’s about to crack any minute now. I can feel it!”
___

“Um,” Spencer stuttered. “Aren’t you going out with Heather Gold?”

The short brunette laughed and shook her head. “Oh no, she’s old news. You’re who I have my sights set on now babe.”

“Well then I guess I’ll think about it.”

Carmen’s smug smile faltered a bit. “You’ll think about it?” She asked confused.

The blonde nodded. “Yes, I will think about it.”

“Alright fine, but while you think about that, think about this too,” the short brunette brought her lips down on to Spencer’s surprised ones.

Carmen pulled away quickly gave the blonde a wink and walked away. Spencer stood shocked completely still. “Oh my God,” she muttered to no one in particular.

As the screen went blank everyone looked at Spencer shell shocked. Spencer had no words to speak. She too was taken aback.

“Okay, um,” Ms. Caldwell said breaking the silence. “I’m pretty sure that wasn’t your performance.”

“No it wasn’t,” Spencer stuttered with wide eyes.

“Right,” the teacher nodded. “Would you like to take a breather outside Ms. Carlin?”

“Yes please,” the blonde muttered before quickly leaving the room. As soon as she stepped out of the class her knees buckled and she fell onto the floor landing roughly on her hands. She took a few deep breaths and sat herself up against the wall of lockers. “Oh my God,” she whispered setting her hands in her head.

“Spencer,” Madison whispered walking over to the blonde. The Latina was on her way to the bathroom when she had spotted her best friend. “What’s going on what just happened?”

“I and the whole class just saw what was on that dvd,” Spencer cried out looking up at Madison. “There is no way Ashley will ever forgive me.”

“What was on the dvd,” Madison asked quietly.

“Almost every conversation I had about Carmen with you,” the blonde continued wiping at her eyes. “The kiss I shared with Carmen… everything bad I ever said behind Ashley’s back was there. It was all there!”

“You mean somebody has been video taping us, like a stalker or something,” Madison questioned.

“It was Raife, when he was disguised as my mom,” Spencer whispered.

“All of that weirdness makes sense now,” Madison replied. “That’s why your mom or Raife was in those army fatigues and she was at the school in the tree. With the back flips and all. He was spying on you.”

“I know, there’s nothing I can do,” the blonde muttered miserably.

“No we can do something,” the Latina said confidently. “It’s obvious that as humans we don’t stand a chance against a Martian, but, what if put a Martian against another Martian?”

“Excuse me,” Spencer asked.

“I think I’ve got a plan,” Madison smirked.
