There is a large smile on her face, I can’t quite place it though.

“Spencer.” She says, her voice returning to normal, no longer so soft and quiet. A smile is dancing on her lips, eyes are still sparkling magnificently.

“Spencer, promise me something.” She calls to me, and though a smile graces her face, her tone seems almost desperate.

“Yeah, Ash?” My eyes are travelling all over her face, trying to place her emotions.

“Promise me that you’ll never let anyone see your eyes.” She lets out.

Why does she want that.

“But why wou-”

“Just promise me, okay?” She cuts off. I don’t understand, are my eyes that bad?

“I promise. But Ashley, why do you want that?” I look to her with a confused expression.

“I’ll tell you one day, Spence. Just not today.”

“What about tomorrow?” I ask hopeful.

She laughs out as a response.

“No Spence, not tomorrow either.”

I pout to her before she proceeds to laugh out again. I give her a smile when I hear her laughter. This is it, this is heaven.

We spend the rest of lunch in the room, and she turns to tell me something before we part.

“Hey, Spence.”

“Yeah, Ash?”

“Come to the quad tomorrow.” I stare at her, mouth agape. What?!!

“But-”

“No buts. Don’t worry about anyone else, I’ll protect you. Just come.” She does her signature nose crinkling smile and I can feel my heart melting. I sigh before turning in my response.

“Okay, fine.”

She gives me another smile before she waves then turns to leave. That girl is going to be the death of me. I take another sigh and head off to face the rest of the day.

I go through my classes normally. It’s still really weird how people are being “nice” to me though. It’s not uncomfortable, it’s just unsettling. It feels like people will jump me any second now.

Glen and I went home together. Clay has some strange brain contest thing that takes place in another city, so he went be back till late tomorrow.

I’m still a bit nervous about tomorrow. I mean, why does she want to bring me there anyway? I take the matter out of my head and push it to that back of my mind. No point in worrying.

I lay on my soft bed, mind wandering. It all feels so surreal, everything up until this point. It feels like, any second now, I’ll wake up only to cry myself back to sleep. I’m actually scared now. Now that I have her, I’m scared that she’ll leave, but for some reason, there’s a calm feeling in me, a feeling that’s telling me that I don’t have to worry, so I won’t.

I can feel my mind slowly wandering until…
