CHAPTER TWENTY

SPENCER’S POV:

It’s 5:45 a.m.. My alarm clock will go off in 15 minutes, but I’m wide awake. I couldn’t sleep very well last night because I was beating myself up over what happened with Ashley. I always had a feeling that she was straight, but when Glenn confirmed my suspicions it hurt that much more. I try not to be so hard on myself but no one has ever gotten to me this way.

My alarm finally went off 13 minutes later. I got up and took a shower hoping it would make me feel better. I really didn’t want to go to school today but I had two exams to take. After I got dressed for school I went downstairs. I saw Glenn alone in the kitchen and wanted to talk to him before someone else came in.

Spencer: Hey Glenn.

Glenn: Hey Spence.

Spencer: Thanks for listening to me last night. It really meant a lot to me.

Glenn: I know I haven’t always been the best brother to you, but I really am trying to become better.

Spencer: (smiles) I know you are. (Spencer hugs Glenn) Oh one more thing please don’t tell anyone about what happened last night.

Glenn: Whatever you say.

I went to school feeling a little better after talking to Glenn. He has really changed a lot over the past couple of years. He keeps on surprising me and I am finally getting my brother back.

While on was walking through the hallways I was worried that I would run into Ashley. I made it to my locker without spotting her, now for English class. When I walked into class there were a few kids in there but Ashley wasn’t.

I sat down in my seat and it occurred to me that I had a bone to pick with Chelsea. She walks in about two minutes later and sees the stern look on my face.

Chelsea: (hesitantly) Hey Spencer.

Spencer: Why didn’t you tell me Kyla was Ashley’s sister? And that she has a boyfriend!

Chelsea: You found about that huh?

Spencer: Yes Chelsea, I did.

Chelsea: Okay look I know I should have told you but the thing is Kyla and Ashley hate each other. I don’t mean hate as in they don’t really care for each other, I mean they hate each other. I was afraid if I told you they were sisters you might get caught in the middle. And I didn’t tell you about Aiden because if you knew she had a boyfriend you would be crushed.

I could tell Chelsea was being sincere and I understood where she was coming from.

Spencer: Well you don’t have to worry about that anymore. It’s obviously not going to work out with Ashley and I.
