You look over to him and can only sigh. You love him, you’re not exactly sure why, but you do. Maybe it’s the whole ‘we spent nine months in a womb together’ thing, you decide that has to be it, because you can’t come up with a better explanation. Your twin brother is an ass after all. His only saving grace is his choice of a girlfriend and the fact that he actually loves her. You can see it in the way he always touches her, even when his attention is elsewhere, he keeps a physical connection with her. You think it’s kind of cute, but wouldn’t dare mentioning it to him, Glen’s still Glen, he’d get pissed off with you. Well, more pissed than usual.

The girlfriend in question is sitting next to him, smiling at whatever he just whispered in her ear. You wish you were more like Chelsey sometimes. She’s so free. So unaffected by all the expectations of everyone around her, she dictates her own life. She truly has the spirit of an artist, good thing she has the talent too.

A hand on her shoulder draws your attention. You love that hand, the body its attached to. You let your eyes drift up the arm, over tanned skin that you guess to be silken soft and warm. You’ve never had the opportunity to touch her, you wonder if you ever will. You sigh wistfully as her curled hair brushes against the delicate skin of her neck and bare shoulders. You envy that hair, wish it was your lips traveling over the exposed flesh. Then you settle on her face. You could use so many words to describe it, beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, a hundred words come to mind, but you can’t choose one. It’s impossible to give one simple adjective to aptly describe the breathtaking image that is Ashley Davies’ face.

You nearly jump out of your skin when Kyla flops down next to you leaning her head on your shoulder. You were so focused on Ashley you blocked out everything around you. Again. It happens a few times a day, the whole zoning out and focusing only on Ashley thing. You’ve given up trying to stop it.

“God, Spencer. We’ve only been back to school for two weeks and I’m sick of it already. Can’t we just skip straight to graduation?”
