*Leah's POV*

My alarm blares at me.
I get up groggily and stumble towards my closet. I pick out a plain black crop top, red flannel and white high waisted shorts. I walk to my bathroom and put my hair into two french braids. I run downstairs to eat breakfast.

My brother left early for school. So I ate breakfast alone, leaving me with my thoughts. I can't stop thinking about Spencer. He's so sweet and smart. Our kiss was perfect. He didn't ask me out but I'm pretty sure he will soon.
I hope he will.

I walk over to my locker, ignoring all the looks that people give me. I can hear whispers like 'She was the one Jack cheated on' or 'Her best friend was the one that Jack knocked up'. It was ridiculous.

I open my locker. I can feel someone standing right behind me.
"Hey babe." Says the person.
I whip around faster than lightning noticing who the voice is from.
"Jack." I say through my clenched teeth, "Get the hell away from me." I say. He smirks and leans in.
"HEY!" Someone behind Jack yells.
He turns around and I can see Spencer standing there, looking really mad.

"She said leave her alone." Spencer said. Jack smirks.
"Oh yeah. Who's going to make me?" Jack teases. Spencer punched Jack in the face. Surprise courses through my veins. Jack stands there, but realizes what happens and punches Spencer back in the face. Blood springs from his nose.

Tears spring from my eyes. I can't see either of them get hurt. I look beside me and see Bree standing there, horrified. I nod my head and she nods back. We both walk in between them. By then a big crowd has surrounded the two boys.
"Stop!" Bree and I yelled in unison.
Jack walks up to me and says, "You really know how to pick em don't you Lee?" Jack glares at me and pushed past the viewers.

I turn to Spencer.
"Spen. You should see the nurse about your nose." I say sadly. He nods his head.
"Thank you by the way." I smile.
He walks away towards the office.

"Hey Lee?" Says Bree behind me.
I turn towards her.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Can you ever forgive me?" She asks sadly.
"I think I already have." I say. We hug and walk down the hallway together.

Just like old times.

"Lee. I have to tell you something important." B says to me.
I look over at her.
Bree was at my house, and we were making mac and cheese.
"Yeah?" I ask confused.
"Jack still likes you. He never meant to hurt you." She says. I roll my eyes.
"I don't care. I'm going to be with Spencer I think. She laughs.
"You forgave me." B whispers. I slam the spoon down on the counter.
"I'm with Spencer now okay! Why is that so hard to believe?!" I scream.
"You've changed Leah." Bree says.
I roll my eyes and laugh sarcastically.
"No fucking duh Bree." She walks out and slams the front door.

I get a text message from Spen.

s- hey leelee! can I come over ?
l- yeah sure spen
s-great be there in 5
l- door is unlocked

I fix up my hair and makeup before I walk downstairs and turn on my favourite movie.

The doorbell rings and I slowly get up and open the door.
Spencer is smiling at me. He walks in the door and kisses my nose.
"Hey babe." Says Spencer.
"Why are you so happy today?" I tease.
"Because I have something important to ask you." He says.
We walk over to the couch and sit down.
"Okay. So. Will you--go-out with me?" He stutters nervously. I smile and kiss him.
"Yes." He smiles at me and kisses me again.

I walk into school, everyone is still looking at me. Talking about Bree, Jack and I but now Spencer has been added to the mix.

Today I'm wearing a short black dress with white wedges. I walk up to my locker and see that Bree is waiting in front of it. I sigh and walk over to her.
"I'm so sorry--" We say together.
"No No it's not your fault. It's all my fault that we fought!" I quickly say.
Bree shook her head.
"No I'm the one that's hormonal!" She yells. I laugh.
"When is you going to pop?" I ask.
"A few months, I think. I've kinda lost count." We smile at each other and walk to Biology.
