Chapter 14: Trying To Make Things Right

Two days have gone by and each girl has not talked to the other. Ashley is angry and still believing that Spencer went behind her back asking for false information on her. Spencer is angry at Ashley’s stubbornness and inability to actually listen to a human being and their story. They haven’t talked because Spencer is waiting for Ashley’s apology as Ashley is waiting for Spencer’s. It’s already Friday and to say that each girl just missed the others company would be the understatement of the year. Their friendship was just starting to blossom and it got stepped on and smashed before the sapling could even make it out of the ground.

Aiden and Ashley sat under their tree waiting for school to begin. Ashley had her eye on the blonde sitting on a pic nic table reading. Her eyes stayed planted onto the back of the girl that had been on her mind since the days she saw her in the quad. Aiden looked towards Ashley and followed her gaze to the blonde.

Aiden: "Maybe you should go talk to her and say that you are sorry, Ash."

Ashley: "Aiden, maybe you should mind you own business."

Aiden: "I’m just saying to fix this. She’s the first person since your dad that has made you smile so big. She’s the first person that has made you truly happy in the longest time. I don’t want you to lose that again Ash. Just fix this ok."

Aiden than got up and left Ashley there with her thoughts.

I know what to do. I just hope I can finish on time.

Ashley then got out a piece of paper and pen from her backpack and began to frantically write.

Spencer walked into History looking upset yet again. She quietly took her away from Ashley’s. She then rested her head on her desk and began thinking.

I wish she would just apologize because I did nothing wrong. Ugh I just want to talk to her again. I’m going to talk to her today. In English. I need time to think about this.

Spencer sat with her head on her desk until the bell rang. Right when she heard that bell she looked up and to the back of the room to see Ashley’s seat empty. She looked at Aiden questionably and he just shrugged his shoulders unaware as well.
