Time seems to pass by so quickly now that I know her. There aren’t enough minutes in any of the days for me to spend time with her. The end of the semester was creeping up on me so fast now and Sunday of the week before Thanksgiving break came far too soon. I was not looking forward to the week ahead. I had like 4 tests and a couple of papers. I decided to start getting to work, which is unusual for me. I was reading my English Lit when I heard my door swing open violently and then slam again.    

            “Fuck you Ashley.” It was Spencer.

            I laughed a little, confused. “Um, excuse me?”

“You heard me, fuck you.” She was serious but not loud or angry.

“What’s wrong Spencer?” I was so confused because I wasn’t drunk last night so I know I didn’t do anything to make her angry.

“You. You’re what’s wrong. You put all these thoughts in my head and I don’t want them there but they won’t fucking go away,” she was getting upset, but I still didn’t know why.

“Spencer what are you talking about? What happened?”

“You’re too nice to me. And you know when I’m upset even if I’m trying to be happy. And last night, when you were playing with my hair. Why did you do that?”

“I don’t know. You were drunk and upset. You laid your head down on my lap. I was trying to comfort you. You know, be a good friend.”

“Well don’t!” she yelled defensively. 

“Umm okay?” I honestly didn’t know what to say. So I didn’t say anything and neither did Spencer. She looks so hurt and confused right now. She finally said something, apparently reading my thoughts.

“Will you kiss me?”

“What?!” I practically choked out.

“Please Ashley. I know this is going to sound so pathetic. But, when you’re around I just want to kiss you. I want you to be my first kiss, like, that means something..” I stood there looking at her intently for a few minutes. I needed to know if this was what she really wanted. She walked over to me.

“Ashley, please.”

She was so close to me now. I put my arms around her neck slowly. I placed hers around my waist comfortably. My eyes never left hers. “Are you sure?” I asked quietly. I had wanted this so badly, but I needed to make sure she wanted it. She swallowed loudly and took a deep breath.
