The bell rings for class and I jump up faster than I ever have before. I just can’t wait to see her. Especially since Madison can’t interrupt us for a whole hour. This is beginning to be my favorite class of the day. “Uh see ya later Ash,” I hear Aiden yell as I run off. I only briefly look back and wave. What? Spencer is definitely more important than Aiden. He’ll understand.

            I walk to my locker and grab a few things out of it. I did some research last night after Spencer left. I wanted to show her that I can contribute and that I want us to do just as well as she does. Hopefully she will appreciate it. I mean it’s not much I just looked up a few articles on neglected children. See Spencer and I figured it would be best to have her write about the happy side of things. I get to write about the messed up screwed up families because that’s how mine is.

            As I walk into class I see Spencer already seated. She is now sitting in the desk right beside mine. The one that is usually vacant. She looks up and gives me the most incredible smile. I can’t help but smile back. Her smiles are contagious, they are that great. I walk over to her and take a seat. “Hey,” she says in such a cute way. Everything about her is cute. “Hey,” I say back after a moment.

            “Okay class, today I am going to give you time to work on some research for your projects. I have requested to have the lab today so you can all work on getting your research out of the way,” Mrs. Aleman says.

            As we all begin to get up to leave Spencer looks at the papers in my hand. “What’s that?” she asks. “Oh I uh did a little research last night after you left,” I say suddenly feeling nervous.  I don’t understand how she can always make me nervous. Nobody has ever made me nervous until her. It’s an odd feeling. One I have honestly come to love.

            “Can I see what you found?” She asks. Now how could I possibly say no to her? Oh, that’s right I can’t. That’s why I am now handing the papers over to her. “This is really good information Ash. How did you manage to find it all?” She asks completely interested.
