Ashley walked into her dorm but stopped short at the sight of her three girl friends crowded around the open window.
"Do I even wanna know?" Ashley asked, the three girls jumped and spun around.
"We weren't doing anything!" Penelope shouted.
JJ cleared her throat. "Just enjoying some fresh air."
Ashley crossed her arms giving them a look. "That's what going outside is for, you three were practically hanging out the window."
"We were enjoying the nice view." Emily said with a smirk.
JJ and Penelope snickered. Curious, Ashley walked over to the window squeezing herself between the girls.
"Well…" Ashley laughed and felt the girls join her again looking out the window. "Never thought to use our window for this."
"I don't know why we didn't think of it before." Penelope muttered.
Emily laughed loudly. "JJ and I will gladly trade dorm rooms."
Ashley rolled her eyes before scanning the basketball court that was in an almost perfect view from the window. "Oh..my.."
"What?!" Penelope shouted. "What do you see!"
"Um..what is Spencer doing playing basketball?"
"What?!" The three other girls shouted, their eyes scanning the court until they found him.
"Damn, how did we miss him?" Emily laughed in disbelief.
"Oh wow...I didn't know Spence owned shorts that tight."
Ashley gaped at JJ who only raised her hands in innocence.
Emily burst into laughter while Penelope was practically leering at him in the distance. "Looks like our resident genius definitely isn't lacking in a certain department.."
Ashley's mouth dropped open while Emily and JJ were practically rolling on the floor in laughter. "Penny! That's my boyfriend!"
She couldn't believe her friends.
Emily suddenly stopped laughing and started grinning. Ashley shifted at the look. Oh no.
"Which means...you can tell us if Spencer is-" Emily smirked. "-Gifted."
Ashley felt her cheeks heat up, the girls staring at her eagerly. This conversation was so going to blow up in her face later. She cleared her throat. "He certainly never disappoints.."
The two other blondes squealed and giggled while Emily grinned wickedly.
Penelope stopped laughing and looked thoughtful. "I always wondered about Derek."
Ashley was the one laughing this time. "No surprise there."
"Well the girls he's with never seem disappointed." Emily pointed out.
"And god knows they all come back for more Derek Morgan." JJ scoffed with a roll of her eyes.
Ashley shared a look with the girls knowing they were all thinking the same thing. They all had to deal with a number of girls who couldn't take 'No' for an answer, some of them didn't want to accept Derek wasn't looking for a committed thing with them.
Penelope let out a dreamy sigh. "He is my Chocolate God for a reason."
The girls snickered at her, their eyes following the male in question as he ran across the court.
Ashley noticed not only was Derek and Spencer on the court but so were Matt, Luke and Will.
"What about our southern gentleman?" Penelope asked JJ who rolled her eyes.
"Not like it's any of your guys business, but Will is all man."
Ashley giggled with Penelope while Emily grinned. "I bet he is."
JJ glared playfully at Emily, giving her a shove.
Ashley let her eyes look from Luke on the court, to Penelope. She looked at JJ and Emily, she bit her lip to keep from laughing when she noticed the smirks on their faces. Ashley always loved how this group seemed to share a mind..well when it wasn't annoying or creepy.
"What about Luke?" Ashley decided to say, eagerly watching her reaction along with the two others.
Penelope stiffened and her face flashed with something Ashley couldn't recognize before it went away. "He's probably nothing special."
Emily raised an eyebrow. "Probably?"
JJ grinned. "That wasn't a straight out no."
Ashley giggled and jumped in. "Which means you have thought about him."
Penelope grabbed a pillow from her bed and threw it in their direction. "I would never think about that..that..Newbie like that!"
JJ leaned over and muttered to the two. "She does remember he's not actually a 'newbie' right?"
Penelope gave the blonde a glare that had JJ putting an innocent look on her face.
Silence filled the room for a few minutes until Emily broke it.
"Aaron is huge."
The three blonde's snapped their heads in the dark haired girls direction, their eyes widened until the silence broke with Penelope's giggles which soon broke Ashley and JJ until the room was filled with laughter once again.

Ashley, Penelope, and JJ were sitting in the lounge flipping through the tv channels when a red faced Spencer suddenly dropped himself on the floor in front of Ashley, letting the back of his head rest against her knees.
The girls shared a confused look. Ashley ran her fingers through his hair, smiling softly when she felt him lean into her hand.
"What's wrong?" She asked, his face only grew more red.
"Emily is what's wrong." He mumbled.
"Uh oh." JJ laughed softly. "What'd she do now?"
Spencer made a strangled noise that had all three of them raise an eyebrow.
"Hey." Ashley said softly, letting her thumb rub against the back of his neck until she felt his body relax a little. "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to."
Penelope made a noise of disagreement beside her that had Ashley smacking her lightly with the back of her free hand.
Spencer made a face. "She was talking about…" Spencer dropped his voice to a whisper. "My..size."
Ashley, JJ and Penelope all made a noise that had Spencer quickly spinning around from his spot on the floor to give them a look. "You three know something!"
JJ's face turned pink. "Um...I forgot I was supposed to meet Will at Sushi Rox..bye!"
JJ grabbed her bag and sped out of the lounge, Penelope quickly grabbed her bag too. "I forgot I needed to finish homework!"
Ashley sunk into the couch when the two were gone. Spencer kept his eyes on her as he took Penelope's seat beside her on the couch.
"Ashley…" Spencer gave her an accusing look that had her grimacing. She knew that conversation would blow up in her face.
"It was just some girl talk!" Ashley said quickly in a whining tone.
Spencer gave her a confused look. "About me?"
Ashley cleared her throat. "Um not just you...the other guys too."
"You've thought of-"
"No!" Ashley said in a whispered shout. "It was just joking around!"
Spencer's face was no longer red except for the slight tint still on his cheeks. "Did you really have to share with Emily?"
Ashley sighed in relief. "You know she would have tortured it out of me!"
"You know this just means you'll have to make it up to me." Spencer said, a smile forming.
Spencer leaned forward and kissed her, Ashley felt herself practically melt into his kiss like always. Going on three years together, and he still made her feel the same way.
He rested his forehead against hers when he pulled away. Ashley felt her breath catch just like every time she seen the love for her in his eyes. She still couldn't believe she had gotten so lucky.
"I love you." Spencer whispered. "Even if you and your friends drive me crazy."
Ashley giggled. "I love you too, but don't forget they were your friends first."
Spencer laughed and kissed her again.

Spencer and Derek were eating at one of the tables in the courtyard when suddenly Derek spit out the water he'd been drinking.
"Derek!" Spencer shouted, giving him a disgusted look.
Derek said nothing with a gaping mouth, instead pointing to whatever made him do a spit take. Spencer turned and felt his own mouth drop open. Was that...Penelope?
"What the hell..is my Baby Girl doing?!"
"I have no idea." Spencer said shocked.
Spencer knew Penelope usually wore some dresses that were low cut which he knew caught some guys eyes, but he had never seen her in a dress like that before..along with some other changes. Spencer had always known Penelope was beautiful, he hadn't been that clueless about girls to not realize his three female friends were.
But he was use to the colorful flowy dresses, wide range of glasses, creative headpieces. Penelope was now wearing a short black dress that clinged in a way her usual dresses didnt, no glasses in sight showing off her eyes and makeup, her hair flowing with no headpieces in sight, and heels that made him cringe just imagining walking in.
Spencer moved his eyes away from her, his eyes instead going to where she might have come from. He noticed a wide eyed Luke sitting at a table with Matt who also looked a little stunned before giving Luke a worried look. Turning back to Derek, Spencer kicked him under the table.
"What?" Derek tore his eyes away from Penelope who didn't even seem to notice all the eyes on her.
"Look." Spencer said, nodding his head towards Luke and Matt.
Derek got a knowing look on his face. "We should go find the girls."
CMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCMCM
It didn't take them long to find them. They were huddled together in JJ and Emily's dorm.
Ashley groaned. "You seen her, didn't you?"
Both boys nodded.
"What is going on?" Derek asked worried, all three girls sighed.
"We were walking back from class when we saw Luke laughing with some girl." JJ said with a grimace.
Spencer shared a look with Derek. They both knew where this was heading already.
"It didn't even look like flirting, they weren't even sitting close to each other...but Penny automatically assumed and started to rant about how 'of course Luke would be interested in that type of girl'." Ashley said cringing.
"She practically demanded a makeover, all the while still refusing to admit she liked him ignoring the fact she was trying to turn into 'one of those girls'." Emily huffed.
Ashley sighed. "We tried talking her out of it but she wouldn't listen, even when we told her Luke liked her just the way she was."
Spencer moved to sit next to her, wrapping an around around her shoulders. Ashley leaned into him with a sigh.
"The second we finished helping her, she stormed out in search of him." JJ finished saying.
"Well she found him." Derek said. "We only saw her walking away but Luke looked pretty shocked."
"Maybe we should go see if she went back to the dorm?" Ashley said, Spencer felt her start fiddling with the ends of his sweater. She always had to do something with her hands when she was nervous or worried. He pressed a kiss against her head that had her burrowing herself more into his side.
Emily shook her head. "Whatever happened with Luke, she'll need some time to process it."
Derek sighed, obviously bothered that he couldn't check on his girl best friend. "We'll give it until tomorrow."
A/N: Next up starts the short chapters for the couples so there won't be any Ashley/Spencer, sorry!
Other than the like 3 couple chapters, there will probably be at the most 3 more chapters before this ends. I don't have much ideas left and I rather not leave this hanging on uncomplete again.
