“That was nice of her. I wonder where she is though.” At that point, in walked a brunette girl with a short denim skirt and a tight fitting (yet full-length) shirt.

“Hey, I’m Ashley Davies,” she said while extending her hand. “You must be Spencer”.

“Yeah, Spencer Carlin, and these are my parents.” Ashley smiled and formally introduced herself to Arthur and Paula. Paula thought the skirt was a bit too short, and the shirt a bit too tight, but she didn’t notice massive amounts of make-up, and she didn’t see piercings all over her face. She would be a good friend for her daughter.

“Do you need any help moving in?” Ashley asked.

“Oh, that’s okay, I think we can manage,” answered Spencer.

“I really don’t mind. I’m all done with my stuff.” Before anything else could be said, the brunette grabbed her arm and started to head downstairs. Spencer was surprised when she felt a shock run through her at the brunette’s touch. She had a firm yet gentle grasp.

It took only one trip to finish bringing all of the things up to their room. Paula and Arthur said their goodbyes (Paula was a bit more teary) and then left.

“Bet you’re wondering about my over cheerfulness,” Ashley said the moment they left. Spencer simply raised her eyebrow. “Well, I had to be sure your parents liked me…you know, just in case I need to vouch for you or anything.” The blonde smiled in response.

“Thanks, yeah, my parents can be a bit over-protective of me at times. I am the youngest and the only girl.”

“Well, it’s better than them not caring about you at all. I don’t know if my mom knows that I’m going here. But enough about all this awkward talk, let’s unpack. Let’s play some music, what do you got?” Spencer booted up her computer and opened up iTunes. A vast array of music appeared, and Ashley scrolled through it. “My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Jack Johnson, The Used, Linkin Park, The Veronicas, Peaches, Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas…um…Britney Spears?” The blonde blushed.

“It’s easy to choreograph dances to her music,” she replied in her defense. Ashley raised her eyebrow, clearly curious.
