“Spence come on!” I said grabbing her hand pulling her after me to hide from the hall monitor that had caught on to our escape plan.

“You’re going too fast…” She cried trying to keep up.

“No actually we aren’t going fast enough…now move!”

We ran faster and eventually I found an open classroom and pulled her in behind me. We sat on the floor against the door and breathed in and out heavily. We held our breaths as we heard the footsteps of the hall monitor get closer to the door. We were sure we were going to get caught but our fears disappeared as the footsteps were getting fainter and fainter.

“See what happens when you try to ditch school?” Spencer said with a knowing smile.

“Hey you didn’t have to come with me.” I replied defensively.

“I don’t seem to remember you giving me any choice. I was minding my own business heading to my class and you ambushed me and told me to follow you.”

“Well you could have just said ‘Sorry Ash I have to go to class and learn and be all perfect’ but you didn’t.” I said imitating Spencer.

“I do not sound like that.”

“You so do!”

“And I never said I was perfect. I just don’t think getting in trouble all the time is the best thing to be doing.”

“Whatever…” I said getting up to see if the close was clear. I tried reaching for the handle and slipped falling directly into Spencer’s lap.

Her mouth and mine were only a few inches apart from each other’s. I looked into her eyes and saw a new look that made my heart beat faster. I noticed her close her eyes and I closed my own subconsciously moving forward.

We both jumped slightly as our lips met. We pulled back and stared at each other not knowing what to do or say. I licked my lips and she bit her lower lip looking at my mouth. I made a move to stand but felt her hand on my arm and I looked back into her eyes. She leaned forward and kissed me again.

I kissed her harder and let my hands weave their way into her blonde hair. Her tongue touched my lip and I nearly jumped out of my skin with the feeling of this new sensation.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

We broke apart and jumped after we heard the loud knock on the door. I held my breath and looked at Spencer urging her to be quiet. We sat in silence and then heard the heavy footsteps walk away.

“We should go.” I said pulling her up to her feet.

“Ash…” She began to say.

“Later…we will talk about this later.” I said slowly opening the door. I looked around the door and saw no one in the hallway.

“Ashley…”

“Now’s our chance…let’s go.” I grabbed her hand and we ran for our lives.

That day would always stay in mind. The day I knew for sure I was in love with Spencer Carlin. I avoided the talk we were supposed to have for a good solid week but eventually caved. After that week we began to “date” and wouldn’t miss a chance for a quick make out session.

My memories were broken when I felt Spencer’s hand move to my hair pulling me in tighter to her. The feeling of her lips on mine and the emotions that she was bringing back up to the surface finally took their toll. I pulled back and could feel the tears falling from my eyes as I looked at her.

“Ashley…I’m sorry…What’s wrong? Too fast…yes too fast.” She said sadly letting her hands fall to her sides.

I reached out for her hand and shook my head trying to calm my tears. “I want you so bad Spencer…I just…Its…You’re really here…I’ve missed you more than anything in this world…and I’m such a pussy for crying right now when I’m so happy…” I said shaking my head.

“You are no such thing…I’ve missed you too. Come here.” She took me in her arms and I let the tears fall that I had held inside for such a long time. She was really here and I wasn’t going to let her go ever again.
