"What do you guys think?"

"Bi"

"No way! That girl’s straight. Hello! She’s totally into that blonde guy."

"Well, we’re about to find out. Drum roll please…" They tap on the table as I saunter up behind the girl at the pool table.

"Hi. I’m Spencer." she glances up from her game as her guys firnds start making rude noises at me.

"I’m Jessi, nice to meet you. Wanna play?"

"I don’t know. I’m not very good." I say setting the bateSpencer’s POV

As soon as I saw her at lunch I knew I wasn’t over her. I spent the whole summer away from her. Then I see her with Aiden. They’re hanging out all the time now! They don’t even have any classes together! I have to admitt, I’m jealous. When I saw them togerther I was so pissed. Katie and Emily even notcied. They know I’m gay but they don’t know about Ashley. Katie askd me if it was about Stacey. She’s my ex-girlfriend. She broke up with me. Said something about me being ‘distant and unemotional’. I didn’t care though it was just a summer fling, something to keep my mind off Ashley. I don’t blame her (Stacey). She wanted to go all the way but I wouldn’t let her take it that far. Something inside me is waiting for Ashley. I miss her so much but it’s too hard for me to be around her knowing I can’t have her. I have to trust that she’ll come to me when she’s ready.

Ashley’s POV

I’m in my room trying not to throw my Geometry HW out the window. I hear the phone ring but I don’t go to answer it. I never answer the phone. It makes me seem perpetually busy.

"Ashley, honey, answer the phone it’s Aiden!" my mom yells excitedly from downstairs. Why’s Aiden calling? I just saw him at school.

"Talk to me"

"Ash, it’s Aiden." DUH!

"I know. My mom told me."

"What are you doing Friday?"

"I don’t know. It’s Monday. Why?"

"Well, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the dance with me?"

"What dance?" I didn’t know there was a dance.

"The homecoming dance."

"Oh! Like as friends?"

"No. I want you to go as my date. Please?"
